“Nice Bed & Breakfast -- excellent Location, a little pricey!”

Reviewed 28 May 2013

We drove down for a quick one night stay in Colonial Williamsburg and booked a last minute stay at Governor's Trace. We definitely enjoyed our stay here.

We had a lovely candlelit breakfast of French Toast topped with banana and strawberries, sausage, juice, tea, and coffee. My husband declared the French Toast "the best ever."... More

Thank you so much for your kind remarks. Even after more than 26 years, we really appreciate being in this business when we get feedback that tells us we must be doing a good job. By the way, that wasn’t guests coming and going up the stairs. It was me serving breakfast to the other rooms. Guess I’ll have to... More

“Very enjoyable”

Reviewed 26 September 2012

My husband and I enjoyed a very quiet, relaxing weekend at the Governor's Trace B&B. Our hosts, Sue and Dick, were pleasant and very accomodating. The Spotswood Room was clean and comfortable, and we especially enjoyed the delicious breakfast served in our room each morning. The location is excellent -- an easy walk to Colonial Williamsburg.
