Colonial Gardens B & B

One word- cockroach. I went to bed around 11:00PM, and I looked up at the ceiling to a bug I had never seen before. I texted my daughter a pic and asked her what it was. It was a cockroach. She said VA was known to have a problem with them. I stood on the bed and banged a book against it, and it fell. I took another picture, to make sure I had identified it. I only stayed one night, and hardly slept at all. I found out that the contact info that the owner shared with me was only texting, when I called about the cockroach. She had said she could be reached until 10:30PM only. I texted her questions BEFORE 10:30 about how to get the fan to work without having the light on, asked her about breakfast (it was a separate charge) at 9:55 but no response. My last text was at 11:47, when I told her to cancel breakfast. I texted her again at 9:44 am. I had found a hotel that didn't have cockroaches. Her other issues: the room smelled musty, probably from the cockroach problem. The faucet dripped. The AC was not adequate. There was no ice. The coffee machine overflowed. Drawers to put my clothes and things were filled with tacks, old office supplies and electronic detritus. It was a horrible experience. I asked her for a refund and told her it was a morally correct thing to do. She told me that I MUST HAVE BROUGHT THE COCKROACH in with my luggage. It was absurd This owner clearly has issues with maintaining this property. She refused accountability. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE!

Beautiful B&B, well-appointed and comfortable rooms, breakfast is superb. Owners and staff are very friendly, and good communication.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Colonial Gardens. The room was comfortable, spacious, and well appointed. Angela was a fantastic host. We even had some extra needs beyond the norm and she took care of us with a smile. We’ll be back!

Angela was the perfect host! We couldn’t say more. Her breakfasts were delicious and the property was perfectly located for exploring Williamsburg on our biking trip.

Colonial Gardens B&B is a gem nestled close to the living museum of Colonial Williamsburg. Angela, the warm and welcoming owner/proprietor, goes above and beyond with her local knowledge, steering us to fantastic dining spots and must-see attractions. The B&B's decor perfectly captures the colonial charm, creating a cozy atmosphere that complements the area's rich history. The beds are heavenly - I've never slept so well away from home! We loved the spaciousness and cleanliness of the rooms. We also enjoyed the comfortable common living room area. The breakfast area is picturesque, with big windows and a view of the serene trees on the property. Delicious breakfast and great conversations with Angela and Theresa round out an exceptional stay. If you're visiting Colonial Williamsburg, look no further than this delightful home away from home.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ We will be regular guests thanks to how nice a place it is.
