Briar Patch Bed & Breakfast Inn

The Room was clean the staff was excellent and the breakfast was great and plenty of parking and close to downtown Middleburg.

Room was clean. No arm chair to sit and read in. Just single dining room chairs Lots of debris around the swimming pool. Three pool vacuum cleaners at work. No word on where the hot tub was. In the bathroom very large tub needed sealant around the edges. Plenty of parking. Staff was difficult to find. Two guests expected to meet for early check in but didn t find anybody there. I decided not to stay for breakfast.

When I arrived a barefoot man shuffled out to check me in . Did not offer a key. Gave me a room right near the door. Was very creepy. I did not stay

The only positive attribute of the place was it's proximity to Middleburg. The house was very dirty and disarray. The kitchen, which was open to guests, had dirty dishes and pots and pans in the sink the whole time. The kitchen counter was loaded with stuff. The front room, where checkin took place was a mess -- the desk area for the attendant had clothes on the floor and various items on the floor. The swimming pool had algae across the bottom -- it had not been vacuumed forever and you would not want that pool water to touch you. The furniture around the pool was shabby and not clean. The guest rooms looked nothing like the photos -- a rinky dink window air conditioner was the cooling method. The room smelled musty as if it had not been aired out. The tub and shower curtain the bathroom, including the tub mat were terribly yellowed and aged. We did not take a show as a result. We did not go in the pool as a result. And we refrained from breakfast as a result. To add further insult to us for this stay, the power went out our night there. When I called the staff, his response was: nothing I can do about it. He didn't even call us first to see if we were ok. It was essentially, 'good luck to you.' Not only would I NEVER return here, unless new owners bought it and refurbished it. I can only say that people should STAY AWAY from this place. It is unworthy to be listed as a B and B.

I was unable to stay at the property... no one was on-site or around to check me in and/or provide directions. I walked around the property, rang doorbells, and called by phone, but unfortunately received no response. As a result, I arrived at my appointment in the area—the very reason I booked a stay there—without being able to shower or change my clothes. I had to find another hotel in the middle of the night... What a terrible experience; I have never encountered anything like this in all the time I have been using Expedia.
