Mike and Chef Ben were awesome. You won't be disappointed. Hospitality is 2nd to none. They make you feel like your family.
I'm giving this place 5 starts overall, because of the gorgeous location, warm and professional service, great value, and the fact that this place has SO much potential!
My partner and I stayed here for 1 night so we could have dinner at the Inn at Little Washington (which is superlative and totally worth the hype) in nearby Washington, VA, and we didn't want to have to drive to/from our home in DC. October must be high season in this area, as it was near impossible to find a hotel, motel, inn or AirBnB that had a room for only one night (many enforced a multi-night min. and/or were already booked up).
Oddly, The Blue Rock Inn is not on any of the usual hotel booking sites, and it was only through a Google Maps search that we found out about it. The Maitre'd at the restaurant asked where we were staying and when we mentioned The Blue Rock, he wistfully explained that it had once been "the" place to stay and eat while The Inn at Little Washington was coming into its own.
Sadly, the Blue Rock Inn has fallen on hard times, its own restaurant and bar closed, and the vast property include picturesque hills and a pond, now listed for sale. Despite the somewhat shabby grounds, the innkeeper Donna is beyond lovely. She made us feel instantly welcome, and prepared a delicious hot breakfast. The local apple cider was a real treat.
Our upstairs room was more than adequate, bed quite comfortable, and we were pleased to find that they had excellent hot water, and much needed free wifi (no cell service in this part of rural VA). The views of the nearby hillsides, a pond, vineyards and orchards, are truly spectacular
The Inn must have a regular following (as indicated by one of the other 3 couples we met at breakfast who were return guests) and like us, were willing this place to return to its former glory. If only you had a few spare millions of $$$?
In short, If you are in need of a clean, cozy and economical B&B with a healthy dose of potential, this is the place while visiting Washington or Sperryville, VA.... We'll be back!
LOVELY !!! KP
Less than ten minutes from Inn at Little Washington and Skyline Drive, Blue Rock was an excellent choice. The brunch was excellent, the room was great, and the service was about perfect. I highly recommend it!
