Lankford and Joyce are the consummate hosts and caretakers of this Victorian jewel. We just got back home and it feels as if we visited friends in their home for the weekend. Such care in presentation — from the common areas, individual bedrooms and meals — can only be achieved by people that genuinely care about what they do. The... More

Joyce and Lankford lovingly maintain this Victorian gem. The grounds, house, and individual rooms are meticulously kept. The provided plated breakfast was plentiful, pleasingly presented, and so delicious. The owners are personable, amenable, and exceedingly gracious and accommodating. A B and B frequenter, I give the Magnolia House high marks and will plan to reserve a room there in the... More

We had a wonderful time with host Joyce and Lankford. They made us feel as if we were home with family. Their guests were fascinating and the stories around the excellant breakfasts priceless. Joyce's cooking is second to none, from the breakfasts to the homemade cookies at bedtime. My first B&B experiance, it won't be the last.

Beautiful home hosted by a friendly husband and wife team. I was well taken care of and the other guests were nice and interesting as well. A stately house decorated and restored in a unique but fitting way, very charming. My room was clean, comfortable and I plan to visit again! Oh, the bed was also a plus, more comfortable... More

From our very late arrival, until our very early departure, we could not have been treated with such Class and Elegance, as we were at Magnolia House Inn, in Hampton, Va. From our beautiful room, with all of the trappings of a 1st class Hotel, to the homey feeling of the surroundings, Magnolia House has it all. We were greeted... More

I have never stayed in a B&B before. I could not have chosen a better place for my first experience! From the time I entered through the gate, Lankford and Joyce made my wife and I feel as if we were family coming to visit. The house is every bit as lovely as the pictures you see. Some of my...

I had a business meeting in Norfolk followed by a seminar at Hampton University. I checked in before dusk and walked to downtown Hampton for dinner. The accommodations were perfect for my business trip. The Blairs made sure I was comfortable and provided me with history on the property upon seeing my interest in the beautiful features of this Queen... More

All...My wife and I have stayed at many B&B's and this one will have us coming back many times over. Ms Joyce and Mr Lankford are so very welcoming and personable. I am very impressed with the house, the food, the room (Ellington Suite) and the exceptional service Ms Joyce provides. This will be our first destination upon my return... More

When you walk in the door of the Magnolia House, your mouth drops. I had been there before but not for a wedding. So when I saw how they had setup the rooms for our wedding, I was stunned. The chairs was beautiful covered and laced with a purple ribbon (which btw, Ms. Joyce asked us what colors we liked).... More
