Outstanding B&B!

An amazing stay in Appomattox. The property is charming, very clean, owner very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was outstanding! There are multiple porches, patios, and balconies to find a nice quiet place to relax and unwind. The room we had worked well for a family of three. Beds are comfortable and the shower in the updated bathroom felt so good.

In the area for Parents Weekend at Longwood University. A 30 minute drive. The room was very comfortable, shower was awesome and our hostess went out of the way to get us ice and decaf hot tea for my wife. Breakfast was great and we enjoyed sitting in the living room before leaving Sunday morning. This B&B will be our first choice if we ever need to spend the night in the Farmville area. 5 stars!!!

My wife and I stayed one night at the Babcock House in order to visit the Appomattox Court House. Room was nicely done with a great bathroom with walk-in shower and full bath. Area is quiet and we did a short walk to the nearby train station. Dinner was exceptional.
