What a charming place! The room was well appointed and beautifully furnished and decorated. There were so many special touches like a hand written card in check-in packet, local newspaper, snacks and water in fridge, and games and books in the hall. The bed linens were so soft. The staff was wonderful; very friendly and helpful. They have several large, indoor spaces you can enjoy with lots of cozy seating spaces and one room even has a grand piano. Outdoors they have several seating area including the garden area with seating and several outdoor games for children and adults alike. They have kayaks for your use as well as bicycles and Surry bikes at no additional charge. We only wish we had planned a longer stay!! Can't wait for the new restaurant to open in spring!
Lovely hotel. Stayed with my family for a weekend getaway. Nicely decorated and a great location to explore the area. Met the owners who are very hospitable and welcoming. Would come back!
We were in town to install a flagpole and was told to stay here, that I would like it. A total small town vibe. Pea gravel parking lot. Walked into the room and on the bed were a newspaper, chocolate chip cookies, and a note that said all the snacks and water were complimentary. We ate bbq just down the street that was great. We walked back to our Inn and noticed the bicycle rack out front, that said free to guest. They weren’t chained up. I live in a hill city where nothing is flat, so, at 66 years old I hadn’t ridden a bicycle in a very long time. I tightened up the handle bars and rode up and down the street enjoying myself more than I thought possible. It was fun. That is what made my trip. lol. It wasn’t possible to be disappointed at this Inn. I hope to get another opportunity to work in the area so I can stay here again. Here is my flagpole.
Would give it 6 stars if I could. We came here for a weekend getaway for my husband's birthday. It is an nice and easy drive from Richmond, DC and Norfolk. Gari, one of the owners, heard about the birthday. They went above and beyond to understand what would make the stay special. When we got to the room, there was a full cake and bottle of champagne waiting in the fridge, with proper glasses and plates. The room as well as the common areas are tastefully appointed with a beachy vibe. Everything you would need can be found in the room or at the reception area. The place is very clean and quiet. Did I mention it is smack in the middle of Urbanna? We'd come back in a heart beat. We love places like this, soulful.
Super cute upscale but relaxed lodging perfect for Urbanna 's several oyster festivals. (March November) They are the location of Virginia's state festival. Recommended on Virginia's shop small and restaurants to visit winter tour. Coming during the off season you can experience a nice quiet small town with several excellent diner options within a short walk. If you want to go further there are bikes and kayaks. If you like history the town has many markers to explore with linked YouTube videos for additional graphics and details. Very pet friendly for well behaved pets. Dog bowls and bed ready in room on arrival. Little welcome snacks for the humans. Decor is a mix of retro, beach sea side, and new technology. Many fun small gems to keep looking for. Large common areas inside and outside for gathering. Would be great for large groups. Owners are super friendly and welcoming. Rooms are clean and have HEPA filters which is a nice extra touch. Treat yourself to a fun getaway.
Honestly, I can say that the experience was the best. Gari and Matt are so incredibly helpful and kind. They knew it was my birthday weekend and went out of the way to have a few little surprises for me in the room. I was blown away at the kindness of an upgraded room, the cleanliness of the entire Inn, the communication, the amenities, and just everything. It was all just so so wonderful that my wife and I are already planning to come back. If you are planning on staying anywhere nearby, check here first, and you will not be disappointed!
My family stayed at The Chesapeake Inn this past Saturday, October 14 thru Sunday, October 15 and I can’t wait to return. This Inn is one of a kind and has everything for everyone, including your pets. The first thing that caught my eye was the beautifully designed lobby. It’s lively, fun, and classy. It also has children’s toys which I thought was a great touch. My daughter and I loved their shop called Ballgown Barefoot and we were able to purchase some take home goodies. Each room has a different theme and ours Nautical. We slept amazing and truly felt at home. The last thing I want to mention is the owners and staff. Gari and Matt are genuinely great people. We appreciated the time they took out of their day to sit and chat with us. It’s hard to find owners who try and get to know their visitors. The staff was fantastic. Any accommodation or request we asked for was no issue for them. I can’t say enough great things about this place and will recommend to everyone.
What a beautiful Inn. Newly renovated they have thought of everything to make your stay an enjoyable and relaxing experience. Located in the lovely, historic town of Urbanna. Everyone we met treated you like a local friend. Outstanding restaurant on site (The Half Shell). I had the best fried shrimp I have ever had!! But back to the Inn itself. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay one to never forget and the rooms were just absolutely gorgeous. So many things included with your stay. Free Kayaks and bikes and outdoor games. You will definitely want to return.
Quiet little shop, excellent for breakfast. Know in advance that it won't be super quick because much of the food is fresh, as ordered. But it is SO worth the wait! The staff very clearly wanted to make us happy and feel at home.
One of the best breakfasts I had. Lovely place open early for breakfast. Freshly made comfort food, everything was delicious! Friendly service. I ordered the Chipped Beef over Toast Points since I never had it before. All breakfast plates come with t
Great job last night Portside Grill cook and wait staff! It took a bit for the food, but it was well worth it! The dishes were perfectly done and delicious to the last bite. We had a great time, thank you for all you do for our lovely town!!
