An absolutely lovely stay. A treat to stay in this historic inn. Very quiet, lovely room, great bed and a nice breakfast at the Farm Bell Kitchen. Tea and coffee always available with a nice touch to offer wine for sale as well. Easy walk to the campus and to get around the Charlottesville area. I’d definitely stay again.
