This is a relaxing b & b that almost seems like a Virginia history museum. We stayed in the Presidents Room which has a balcony that provides a spectacular view of the York River and Coleman bridge and is just as wonderful at night as during the day. We watched a US Navy submarine and escorts head down river at... More

This was our third visit to York River. We were welcomed with candied orange peel. Bill was his usual gracious host. He knows so much, and imparts it in a way only a true native can. He truly cares that his guests are enjoying their visit to the area. Breakfast was delicious -- other than bacon, I don't think we've... More

It's a pleasure for me when guests return--and still give me a good review! I keep notes about what I serve all my guests--so I try not to repeat items when people come back the second or third time. Of course, some people DEMAND that I repeat some items--so I try to accommodate that as well! More

This was a very pleasant experience in a setting overlooking the York River. Candied orange peel was awaiting us upon check-in and had just been made. Bill is an extremely knowledgeable gentleman who made us feel welcome and prepared a fabulous breakfast including roasted herbed tomatoes, miniature pecan tarts, light as a feather waffles and a clafoutis. Bedding was first... More

Lovely, comfortable spot in charming Yorktown. The proprietor is gracious, friendly and a true font of local knowledge and Virginia history. I had the room facing the river, which had a great view and was very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, and there is a small refrigerator in the common area that has soft drinks, wine and beer available any time.... More

We enjoyed our stay at the York River B & B. It felt as though we had found extended family. Bill was a very gracious host and made himself available for conversation, directions, restaurant recommendations and questions regarding the history of the entire region. Our room was very comfortable and the view of the York River was outstanding. We had... More

If you are even thinking of going to the Yorktown, Williamsburg, Jamestown area, strongly consider staying at this wonderful B&B. It's comfortable and central to all the historic nearby locations.

We love visiting the Williamsburg area during the Christmas season. The choice of York River Inn Bed and Breakfast was definitely a good one. We were able to watch a Christmas boat parade from our room overlooking the York River. Our host, Bill was extremely hospitable. Bill has a great collection of maps and reading material which makes this Inn... More

This is one of the best B & B's we have stayed at in the USA. The location is wonderful, our room had a balcony looking out over the river.
