I love B&Bs, and there are so many things that go into making a stay at one a great experience---rooms, breakfast, location, owners. The South Court Inn excels at all of these! The rooms are all lovely and luxurious. The location is ideal in the quaint town of Luray with the Caverns, Skyline Drive, excellent restaurants, and wineries all right nearby. I've had some great breakfasts at other B&Bs, but Tom Potts really goes out of his way to serve up gourmet deliciousness! Croissant french toast, fresh fruit compote, profiteroles with berry sauce. Yum. But really, the best part of the South Court Inn, as it should be with any great B&B, is the ownership. Tom and Anita are warm, friendly, and passionate about ensuring their guests have a great time in the area and leave happy. Even before we arrived, Tom answered a ton of questions via email and gave great advice about places to eat and wineries to stop at on the way. I highly recommend the South Court Inn as the ideal place to stay while you explore the area! We definitely plan on going back. View Reviewer Info

My husband and I wanted a relaxing weekend getaway to celebrate our anniversary, and found all we could have wanted at the South Court Inn. The lovingly restored Victorian home has a peaceful, private, nicely landscaped setting, and sufficient off-street parking for all guests. Our room (Margaret Bland) was elegantly decorated, spacious and comfortable … even included a recliner and TV, amenities not often found at a B&B.
The service was impeccable. Innkeepers Tom and Anita Potts were very welcoming and responsive to our requests and questions about the area. They arranged for tickets to the nearby caverns, made dinner reservations for us at a local restaurant, and provided maps and info on local attractions.
The highlight of the weekend, however, was breakfast! Tom is a superb chef, and it is evident that his recipes and menus have been meticulously developed. The soufflé seasoned with fines herbs and the banana-stuffed croissant French toast were both delicious and beautifully presented. Plus, their specially blended coffee was so good, we bought some to bring home.
If you are looking for peace and privacy, great service, and wonderful food, this is the place for you!

My wife and I spent a wonderfully relaxing three days there. We were in the cottage behind the main building, which features a hot tub, kitchen, patio, and big-screen TV with DVD. It was quiet, private, and beautifully appointed with a French flair--just what we were looking for. It's located on a quiet street right in town, convenient to Luray's shops, galleries, parks, and restaurants. The breakfasts were superb, the ornate Victorian ambience elegant. Tom, our gracious host, is a treasure trove of history and happy to share the property's development from a private residence to its current restored glory. One of our best B&B experiences ever!

My husband and I just got back from eloping to Luray, Va. I found South Court Inn on line. I wanted an elopement package that included everything and they had it. We chose the "Elope to Luray, Virginia" Marriage and Honeymoon Package” plus stayed an additional night. The first night we stayed in the Mary Kennard room. Very beautiful! The bed and pillows were super comfy! The 2nd and 3rd night, we moved to the Susie Hodges Cottage. Again, very beautiful and the bed and pillows were super comfy. Each morning, breakfast was scrumptious! They served a different entrée each day. We had blueberry pancakes, frittata, and stuffed French toast, all scrumptious! They also make a fruit dish every morning. My husband said it was the best fruit salad he ever ate. Now he’s on a quest to figure out how they made the sauce that went on it. Restaurants in town were all excellent! On the night of the wedding we ate at The Victorian Inn (included in the elopement package). It was soooooo good. The innkeepers took almost 100 pictures of us on our wedding day and we had the CD and wedding DVD in our room about 5 minutes after the ceremony. They are very organized and have eloping down to a science! If you want an inexpensive, stress free, romantic wedding day this is the place for you. We want to go back for our 1 year anniversary. Also, the court house were you need to get your marriage license is right down the block. That was super easy too. You only need a drivers license and you need to know both of your parent’s full names (first, middle, last). That’s it. We picked up our official marriage license on our way out of town.

My husband and my parents and I spent a night at the South Court Inn B & B during our trip through the Shanendoah Valley. The home is BEAUTIFUL, the rooms are really comfortable, the innkeepers were gracious, the food was fantastic. We purchased an anniversary package for my parents who were celebrating 40 years - they were treated with a dozen red roses, personalized robes, crystal champagne flutes to take home, a special dessert, etc. It was a wonderful treat for them and for us. Mr. Potts, the inkeeper, sent us a list of fun things to do in and around Luray prior to our visit so we were able to plan our trip well. We had a wonderful time. Wish we could have stayed longer.

This B&B is a charming, astoundingly decorated high Victorian-style home in a beautiful part of the Shenandoah Valley. The room we selected had a beautiful four-poster bed and a two-person hot tub - the (advertised) lack of a shower was charming, if perhaps just a tiny bit inconvenient for washing hair. The decorations were lovely and the owners' hospitality was very fine. The breakfasts were outstanding - gourmet quality - stuffed croissant French toast, omelets with fancy French herb blends, and the like! We staggered out of breakfast each morning. It was a wonderfully quiet, homey, relaxing weekend, that allowed my new wife and I to do plenty of touring by day and plenty of relaxing by night. Their DVD collection for loaning out is also remarkably extensive. (Tall men and and women take note: the four-poster bed in the Emma room is just a little bit short in length, but extremely comfortable!) View Reviewer Info

My husband and I stayed at the inn for the weeked in the cottage. The accomodations were fantastic, and made for a relaxing, romantic get-away. The linens were wonderful. The bed was comfortable, and the set-up of the cottage made it feel like a little home away from home. Tom and Anita go out of their way to ensure a remarkable stay for all of their guests.
Normally, I would give more details about the accomodations, but as wonderful as they were, the thing that will always stand out in my mind about this weekend is the two incredible breakfasts that we had. Words cannot describe how good these breakfasts were. On Saturday morning, we had a wonderful fruit salad in a secret sauce. The fruit was flavorful, and the sauce was amazing. The fruit was followed by pumpkin-stuffed french toast and slowly cooked sausage. It was a perfectly prepared french toast with a pumpkin chiffon in the middle. It was beyond amazing. The sausage was the best I've ever had. I was prepared for a disappointment on Sunday morning. I didn't think that Tom and Anita could ever prepare another breakfast as good as the first one. Wow . . .was I wrong! On Sunday, we had a Morrell Mushroom Souffle with bacon and toast. It was incredible. The souffle was light and airy and full of flavor. The bacon was cooked to perfection. As if that weren't enough, it was followed by a puff pastry served with a slow-baked pear with butterscotch sauce. Perfection! These two breakfasts easily fall on my list of top ten meals I've ever had.
It was so nice to be able to enjoy this level of dining while also enjoying an overall casual atmosphere. Tom and Anita are very knowledgeable about Victorian service, and I loved hearing the stories that they could tell about it and about the house.
If you are looking for a romantic and relaxing weekend, enjoy a weekend at the South Court Inn. Not only will you be pampered, but you will enjoy some of the best breakfasts you have ever had.

We were looking for a memorable way to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and found exactly what we were looking for at the South Court Inn in beautiful Luray, VA.
Tom and Anita’s website provided all the information we needed, as well as, pictures displaying their wonderfully decorated Victorian home, to plan our special occasion. They also provided informational e-mails prior to our arrival preparing us for a wonderful adventure. We selected the Fantastic Anniversary Getaway package which included: Spa robes embroidered with our initials; one hour in-room massages for both of us, provided by Dot the local massage therapists who she did an outstanding job relaxing both of us; 1 dozen fragrant roses for my lovely bride; a pair of lead crystal champagne flutes, which just happened to match my wife’s pattern! Also included was a gourmet dinner at the Victorian Inn with a surprise chocolate dessert waiting for us in our room when we returned; and, a pair of custom-made South Court Inn mugs. As part of the package we were given the roses, robes, flutes, and mugs as keepsakes to remember our awesome stay!
We stayed in the Margaret Bland room with a king size canopy bed, private bath, electric fireplace, oriental carpets, chandeliers, and a whirlpool tub bath. It was the lap of luxury and we felt very spoiled by all the little details Tom and Anita had taken care of!
The breakfasts were nothing less than fabulous! Tom and Anita were excellent hosts as well as, gourmet chefs! We found Tom’s historical knowledge from the silverware to local history very impressive, interesting and informational! He provided this dialogue prior to both mornings breakfast!
We highly recommend the South Court Inn to any couple looking for the ultimate and relaxing getaway to celebrate any occasion! Tom and Anita deliver what they promise!!!

A Perfect Stay in Luray!
We had an beautiful wedding ceremony at the South Court Inn, with the classic house and gorgeous landscaping as a backdrop in every photo! It was the summer time, so everything was lush and green and in bloom. I've never been one for extravagance, so the idea of having a bride-zilla wedding made me look around for reasonable alternatives. When it looked like my only options were going to court, or flying to Vegas, South Court Inn stepped in! Tom and Anita are lovely people who put us at complete ease at a time that could have otherwise been nerve wracking, and that was much appreciated. Everything was all set up, from a bouquet to corsages for the guests, to picture perfect wedding backdrops, to the cake and the service! Even though we used the elopement package, we were able to have guests so I brought my family along for the experience. And believe me, they were so relieved when they found out I wasn't getting married in court!
We stayed one night in the two story cabin, which is behind the house. It has its own backyard (huge), a hot tub, a living room, TVs on both levels, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, so it really feels like a little home away from home. I could see a longer stay there being completely comfortable for more than two people, especially if you're checking out all the sites in Luray. I had seen the sites before, and my husband isn't very outdoorsy so we spent our time cozied up in the cabin.
We had a lovely breakfast at the Inn and left rested, relaxed and happily married! View Reviewer Info

Visiting South Court Inn was truly a wonderful experience for us. While we did our research before choosing the bed and breakfast, we were truly unprepared for all the nice, thoughtful touches the Potts family put into our stay. Upon arriving for our anniversary getaway, we found the Susie Hodges Cottage was comfortable and immaculately kept. Although we learned the innkeepers, Tom and Anita, had a tough week with Anita’s hospitalization the day before our arrival, not one detail was spared. A plate of fresh fruit was set up for us on the table, along with two bottles of water, several large white fluffy towels and bathrobes were set out for us, with extras by the whirlpool tub, and they offered individual shampoos, soaps and lotions for our use. A quick, but thorough, tour of the home by Tom was greatly appreciated as he showed us how to use everything, including the fireplace. The cottage had a washer and dryer, silverware and even two wine glasses and a corkscrew. Our three-day stay was well worth it as we were able to relax and still interact with the rest of the inn’s guests at the delicious breakfast served each morning. Tom gave wonderful recommendations for restaurants - the Artisan Grill in Luray and Jalisco Mexican Restaurant in New Market - both had delicious food. The rooms in the house and the cottage were beautiful, as were the grounds, and we really enjoyed our time there. We will recommend South Court to all our friends and family! View Reviewer Info

My wife and I visited the South Court Inn Bed and Breakfast for a quiet, extraordinarily unique Valentine's Day elopement. We found Tom and Anita Pott's place on the internet and thought it was perfect. When we spoke with Tom on the phone, he was pleasant, considerate, understanding of our endeavor, and more than willing to help.
When we drove up to the house, we couldn't help but feel as if we were arriving at someone's home, not just a bed and breakfast. The house was beautiful, well decorated, and full of history. The rooms were comfortable and cozy.. with many thoughtful amenities. With the ceremony provided by Tom, the wonderul food they prepared for us, the interesting stories of the house and history Anita shared as we dined, we couldn't have asked for more. We truly felt as if we were at home, away from home.
Now Lisa and I have a fond memory of our wedding that we're completely happy with. If you're thinking of eloping, I urge you to call the Potts. If you're a couple looking to get away for a couple of days and forget the world, this is your place.
Tom and Anita, we thank you very much. Maybe in a year, we'll see you for our first anniversary.

We were married at the South Court Inn on December 21st, 2007. We had spent weeks searching for the perfect place to escape for a few days from the bustle of the silly season and, more importantly, to do something very special for us… to elope. We looked at every place you can imagine, from the Gulf Coast to the mountains of Vermont, but something intrigued us when we stumbled onto the quaint little town of Luray and something just clicked when we found the website for the South Court Inn.
The home was beautiful and inviting, true. The rooms were tastefully decorated and lovely, true. Tom and Anita hosted and presided over weddings, true. They helped us plan the simple, yet elegant ceremony, provided us with all the State requirements and procedures for the marriage, and arranged for us the most astonishing flowers and bouquet. But it was something else, something that neither of could put a finger on that drew us in.
When we arrived the hospitality and accommodations were wonderful. We stayed in the lover’s cottage, which we highly recommend for its charm and its privacy. The breakfasts were divine, we were treated so very special, and Tom is such a charmer that he will have you enraptured in the first few moments after you arrive.
But it was when we walked into their lovely parlor and the ceremony began that we felt the magic that had drawn us to this place. There is no way to describe the beauty and perfection of the ceremony Tom conducted for us, nor could we ever tell you the depth of feeling in the vows they had prepared for us. This would have been special moment for us regardless, but it was made truly magical by the place, the setting, the attention to detail, and most of all by the sincerity and warmth of our hosts.
We will be back!

My wife and I have just returned from a three-night stay at the South Court Inn using their elopement package to renew our wedding vows and found it to be a very enjoyable experience.
Even before we arrived I realized that the South Court’s owners, Tom and Anita, were very patient and accommodating. We had some scheduling conflicts that went on for weeks and through it all they were extremely understanding and helpful.
Their elopement package is all-inclusive and was an excellent value for everything we received. For a little more than what some people wanted to charge us for a one hour ceremony on the beach we had a three-night stay, (we added an extra night to the package), in a private cottage. Included with this were two tickets to Luray Caverns (highly recommended), two one-hour massages at the inn, and much more than I have room to list. Be assured we both felt we received a lot for our money.
Tom performed the ceremony there at the inn in front of the mantle, which looked lovely decorated for Christmas. My wife and I both enjoyed how warm and personal the vows were, very romantic without being too mushy. Anita filmed the event and afterwards Tom patiently worked with us taking numerous pictures with our camera.
The inn is a late 1800s farmhouse that has been converted to a bed-and-breakfast that is just filled with wonderful antiques. We ate breakfast in the dinning room each morning while Tom gave us the history of the house and some of the things in it, which I found quite fascinating. Tom is quite the gourmet chef who isn’t afraid to strut his stuff and each meal had us looking forward to the next. Tom and Anita are very service minded and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay very memorable.
I would have to say that our stay at the South Court Inn more than exceeded both our expectations and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone, or return there ourselves in the future. View Reviewer Info

While touring the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, my wife and I had the pleasure of staying two nights at the South Court Inn. We wished we could have stayed much longer. Tom and Annie are founts of knowledge and hospitality. Upon arrival, Tom shared the history of this great old house and property as well as his ongoing efforts to maintain it in period style. Our room, and all common areas, was very comfortable, immaculately clean, and well-appointed. Breakfast on both mornings was definitely the high point of our stay. While waiting for our call to the table, we were treated to the music and sounds of the Shenandoah Valley. The table was set beautifully with crystal juice goblets, Thanksgiving-themed dinnerware, and unique flatware. The immense table was accented with candlelight. We feasted on sliced strawberries in lavender-infused honey, banana-stuffed french toast, and sausage. Tom prepared a delicious herb omelet, bacon, and all the trimmings for our second morning. Our brief stay at the South Court Inn will be fondly remembered. We give our highest recommendation to this premier bed and breakfast, and encourage you to make it one of your stops on any trip to the Shenandoah. View Reviewer Info

My wife and I chose the South Court Inn to renew our wedding vows, and it exceeded our expectations. The innkeepers, Tom and Anita, are pleasant and accommodating - they really made us and our guests feel at home. From the moment we booked our stay, they helped us plan the details of our ceremony and they were quick to answer any questions we had.
The Inn itself is gorgeous, luxuriously decorated in Victorian style. We stayed in the relaxing Emma Glenn room, with the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on and a wonderful two-person whirlpool tub. Our friends were equally impressed with the other three bedrooms in the main house.
We had a small, intimate ceremony with six guests, and Tom did an excellent job with the vows. He also took many of our wedding photos, which we were very pleased with. The cake was delicious and my wife loved the vase of roses in our room.
The gourmet breakfast each morning was a definite highlight. The table layout was impressive, Anita’s anecdotes about dining in the Victorian era were entertaining, and Tom is an artist in the kitchen.
The inn has a large selection of books and DVDs, and a nice porch for people who enjoy watching the stars at night. The location was perfect - very close to the Luray Caverns and Skyline Drive.
I highly recommend the South Court Inn for couples who want a relaxing, romantic getaway.
Thanks again Tom and Anita for making our stay so enjoyable.

If you seek a superb country inn with a genteel savoir-faire, then the South Court Inn in Luray, Virginia is for you.
My wife and I stayed at the South Court Inn for only one night, but it was a wonderful night. We enjoyed hearing the history of the home, seeing and hearing the story of its transition into a sumptuous bed and breakfast and lament only that Tom and Anita do not serve dinner.
They do, however serve a memorable epicurean breakfast. Ours consisted of a gourmet omelet served with thick bacon, preceded by a fresh fruit compote, fresh juices and custom-blended coffee, all served with more individual pieces of silverware than we realized existed.
Make sure you take in the Lincrusta wainscoting in the parlor, the embossed tin ceilings, the eclectic turkey bric-a-brac, the beautiful oriental rugs, and the opulent bedchambers which together create a vibrant and lush Victorian ambiance.
Whether you choose to stay in one of the four unique rooms in the main house, or the exquisite little French country cottage of this little gem of a country inn, you will not be disappointed.
The South Court Inn can only be described as extraordinary: extraordinary in class, comfort, service, décor, style, and value.

My wife and I have stayed at a couple dozen B&Bs over the years in a number of different cities and the South Court Inn easily ranks as one of the very best.
Even though this historic home was built in 1875, Anita and Tom Potts spent several years doing renovations resulting in a B&B that is decidedly 21st century, while nevertheless retaining its high Victorian ambiance.
We were especially excited about our bathroom which offered a two-person Whirlpool tub for a relaxing evening soak, the perfect conclusion to a day spent enjoying the Shenandoah sporting life. And our bedroom featured a 35-inch television and DVD player, so we made great use of our hosts’ extensive DVD library at night.
But what really distinguishes the South Court Inn from its peers are their truly gourmet breakfasts served by candlelight. Tom Potts is a talented and inventive chef with an extreme attention to detail. Each breakfast begins with a refreshing fruit concoction: on our first day we enjoyed a parfait assembled from yoghurt, perfectly ripened slices of peach, and a fresh raspberry coulis, and on our second day we had fresh peaches and strawberries steeped in house-infused lavender honey. After a brief overview of the unusual and charming array of silverware (inluding an antique orange spoon for our fruit dish and an 1850s era knife that was once a standard part of a U.S. officer’s mess kit), Tom whisked in our entrees.
One day, we each had two hardboiled eggs served in the shell. The white was solid while the yolk was runny, and as per Tom’s instructions, we added a dab of butter, a crack of pepper from the pepper mill, and a sprinkling of sea salt- clever in its simplicity. The next day offered a four cheese egg souffle folded over like an omelette, while the last day had a true showstopper: a banana-stuffed french toast croissant. Each breakfast was complemented by excellent smoked bacon and toast with housemade strawberry preserves. View Reviewer Info

Our visit to the South Court Inn was absolutely refreshing! The house has an amazing history, yet Tom and Anita have brought it into the 21st century with whirlpool tubs and televisions with DVD players. The Potts’ are wonderful innkeepers: always there when you need them, but out of the way so you can enjoy a romantic vacation away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Their hospitality began even before we left our home with a welcoming e-mail filled with tips on where to eat and what to do in the Luray area.
When we arrived in Luray, we were taken aback by the simple beauty of the town. There is a walkway around the town meandering along a stream and several of the buildings in town have been painted with vivid scenes- it is like walking through an outdoor art gallery. The inn itself boasts a relaxing front porch and several gathering areas downstairs. The bedrooms were elegant yet very comfortable with even the little details taken care of (hairdryer, alarm clock, luxurious towels and robes, writing paper, bottled water, a sewing kit and several other extras).
Breakfast was fabulous with juices, tea, coffee, and 3 fabulous dishes (breakfast during our stay included strawberries and cream, banana stuffed French toast, and apple crisp). Tom and Anita entertained during breakfast with interesting stories about the house as well as a few lessons about Victorian customs. We left feeling revived and excited about our next visit to the wonderful inn.

When we first started looking for a place to exchange our marriage vows, we came across The South Court Inn, Bed and Breakfast. We didn’t want that “commercial” feeling, but still wanted a professional and yet “special” feeling as far as our wedding ceremony. We were treated with so much kindness, care and warmth with every question and detail answered and provided for. Not only for us as the Bride and Groom but for our wedding party of family and friends, as quests. So full of wonderful memories for all of us.
As guest staying at The South Court Inn, it was the most wonderful experience. We were made to feel so comfortable and very well taken care of. Right at home and but better. Also, there is so much history there. The Innkeeper will gladly share all of it with you. We were told of so many things. Stories and information about the first and other previous owners. About the Inn, the Cottage, all the wonderful antiques that just fill the Inn, right down to the actual Victorian silverware we ate with.
It is a beautiful place, owned and operated by a beautiful couple. Thank you Tom and Anita Potts for making our special day so very “Special” and for a wonderful place to stay. We look forward to our next visit as soon as possible. Certainly as a get away and our anniversaries for years to come. View Reviewer Info

My wife, daughter and I stayed at the South Court Inn on April 5. This was our first time at a B&B and the experience was very nice. We were a little apprehensive at first, not having ever done this before, but Tom and Anita were wonderful hosts who made us feel right at home. They have a beautiful restored Victorian home. The décor is very tastefully done. Tom and Rita did a lot of research on the Victorian era to ensure that the house reflects the décor of the period. They gave us a brief history lesson on the period and the previous owners that was quite fascinating. After that, they left us to ourselves to enjoy the comforts. Our room was very nice and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was a wonderful medley of fruit, eggs, bacon, toast, juice and coffee, all specially prepared and also with some more history on the Victorian traditions on fine dining. All in all, it was a very nice experience. If we are in the area again, we will most likely return to the South Court Inn. View Reviewer Info
