We had a great stay at the Hornsby House Inn. It is a great location for exploring Yorktown, Williamsburg, and other places on the peninsula. The house itself is beautiful, a real mansion from the early 1930s. They serve delicious breakfasts and have a well -stocked bar. Our room was very comfortable. Tom and Lexi were great hosts; very friendly and helpful.

We spent 2 nights in very cold weather. We were warm, comfortable and well cared for at HHI. Tom was an excellent communicator and chef. He answered all our questions and prepared delicious breakfasts. Our room had a beautiful view of the monument and river. The bed and linens were comfortable. We enjoyed complimentary coffee & cookies throughout the weekend. One morning we sat the in the living room having coffee by the fire before our breakfast, and then later that evening hosted other friends in the sunroom to watch ACC basketball - just like home. The best part of our stay was meeting and enjoying the company of the other guests during breakfast and hearing from Mr. David Bowditch who grew up there. It is clear that this former family home still resonates with love and care. I honestly did not want to leave. We travel to area often and will be staying again.

We were welcomed and invited to have some of the food left at a party that was just ending. Breakfast was great, with David Bowditch joining the guests to provide some history of the Inn and the family running it. Interesting memorabilia all around the place. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Plenty of parking. We will be back.

Weekend get-away with hubby and this place is FABULOUS... the INN is absolutely stunning. We really enjoyed talking with Tom about the house and area, he is very knowledgeable. Breakfast is sooooooo delicious, you're really treated like a top-notch guest. I have always said I would never stay at a bed and breakfast, but I have to admit, this really was nice and I'm so glad we did.

?????????? My sister was married at the Hornsby House Inn, and it was truly the most wonderful, underrated wedding venue. From start to finish, the experience exceeded all of our expectations. Tom was absolutely excellent and went above and beyond to help us throughout the entire weekend. The entire staff was incredibly kind, helpful, and understanding especially when we ran into a few hiccups. They handled everything with such professionalism and genuine care, which made the weekend feel stress-free and special. Our family rented the entire bed and breakfast for the weekend, and it was perfect. The rooms were clean, cozy, and comfortable, and everyone slept so well. It felt like a true home away from home. And the breakfast, 10/10! So delicious and such a highlight each morning. We had the best time celebrating together, and I cannot recommend the Hornsby House Inn enough for weddings or special events. It’s a truly special place with an amazing team behind it.

This was our first B&B experience and it was exceptional! So quaint and cozy. So welcoming. We enjoyed the wine and cheese hour upon arrival. A much more pleasant and peaceful way to travel than a standard hotel. The bed and pillows were super comfortable And the breakfast was hands down the BEST breakfast we’ve had traveling. We will definitely be back!!

My husband and I stayed here 2 years ago and decided this would be a great place to host our 25th wedding anniversary party. We rented out the whole house this past weekend and held our party in the separate event space right near the Inn. What an absolute delight! We truly thank Lexi and Tom for making this such a wonderful, memorable event. The party was amazing and our guests loved staying here. Words cannot express the extra TLC we received from Friday through Monday and in the planning stages leading up to our anniversary. We recommend the Hornsby House for a stay and/or a party. Either way you cannot go wrong. This place is an absolute treasure!

This was my first time staying in a true bed and breakfast, and it completely exceeded my expectations! Lexi and Tom were incredibly friendly hosts and even let me request waffles for breakfast (which were delicious). The inn itself is beautiful, full of history, and has two cozy communal rooms with fireplaces—perfect for curling up with a book or getting some writing done. My bed was so comfortable, it felt like sleeping in the 18th century (in the best possible way!). I missed this place as soon as I left and can’t wait to visit again. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time at Hornsby House. It is beautiful! We were in the Carriage House and enjoyed the privacy for the accommodations but we loved the. Breakfast in the main house with other guests. The breakfasts were delicious. Lexie was great! The Hornsby House is in the perfect location for seeing the Yorktown Battlefield and the waterfront!

We had a wonderful stay for our anniversary at the Hornsby House Inn. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by Lexi and Tom, who manage the inn. We were immediately captivated by the welcoming atmosphere in the house. It was as if we were returning home after a long trip. The nightime tray of warm cookies were a sweet part of our welcome. The other house guests were equally welcoming. The next morning we had a delicious family style breakfast with all the guests arrayed around the well adorned tables in the dining room. There were several comfortable gathering places around the house for guests to talk, read, relax and enjoy the surroundings. The Inn sits on a hillside overlooking the York River in the midst of several historic sites. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.
