I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the air conditioning was noisy. The large dining room table was perfect for groups, and the cottage was spacious but had inefficient bathroom facilities.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms in the 'rustic' cottage were spacious and had a comfortable bed, but the air conditioning was noisy and the bathroom facilities were quaint but inefficient. The main house rooms were well-equipped with a small sofa, chairs, and a desk, but some finishes were not up to standard.

My stay at the hotel was simply delightful! The rooms were beautifully furnished with a mix of styles, and the restaurant on-site was so amazing that I didn't feel the need to venture out. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure my comfort. The location, with its gardens and pool, was a true oasis, although a bit of extra cleaning wouldn't hurt. The dining experience was okay but lacked variety. Overall, a great choice for a relaxing getaway with a touch of history.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were big, spacious, and clean, which was nice. However, I stayed in a 'rustic' cottage near the hotel with lots of space and a comfortable bed, but the air conditioning was noisy, and the bathroom facilities were quaint but inefficient. The location, immediately above the restaurant and kitchen, was a mixed experience.

The hotel offers rooms with lots of character and comfortable beds, and the on-site restaurant eliminates the need to leave the property. The service is exceptional, although a bit slow at times. The location is beautifully maintained and central to various attractions, but comes with a high price point.

My stay at the hotel was wonderful! The rooms were classy and clean, offering spacious closets and bathrooms. The rustic cottage near the hotel was charming and had a comfortable bed, although the air conditioning was a bit noisy. The service was a bit lacking as the staff did not seem ready to assist guests promptly. The location, with beautiful gardens, a swimming pool with a waterfall, and a secluded lake, was truly amazing. The dining experience was decent, with some room for improvement. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few hiccups.

The hotel offers classy and clean rooms with spacious closets and bathrooms. While the room was a little small, it was located off-site in a related property. The service was professional, friendly, and welcoming, with a renovated property. The location, near the Manor House, was tranquil and private, offering beautiful gardens, a swimming pool with a waterfall, and close proximity to wineries and downtown Charlottesville. The dining experience was excellent, with a variety of options, though some felt it was a bit 'bait and switch. ' Overall, the facilities were well-maintained and delightful.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms have lots of character and the beds are so comfortable, making for a uniquely different experience in an old smelly house. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff who even helped me kill two massive spiders. The location is superb, easy to access from the interstate and close to Charlottesville, surrounded by wineries, cideries, and breweries. The dining was a highlight, both dinners were delicious, and I even saw deers on the property on my way to dinner. The facilities were excellent, with everything I needed for a perfect stay.
