Grace Manor Inn

We stayed three nights at the Grace Manor Inn and loved it! Very clean (thank you, Nora), amazing gourmet breakfasts, and Albert was a gracious host, very helpful and accommodating (we didn't see much of Dawn as she was busy with the cupcake shop). The location is great, with off street parking a plus. The pool and garden area were beautiful and relaxing. My husband has a bad back and the bed in the Shortt Suite was super comfortable. Although the Victorian inn is elegantly decorated, it offers a nice informal atmosphere. Great to have a microwave and mini fridge in the room. WiFi worked great, too. Just know when you're booking that none of the rooms in the house have ensuite bathrooms - they are private, but outside your suite (bathrobes are provided, but they don't necessarily fit all guests). While we knew the Shortt Suite bathroom was small (which was not a problem), the light (especially) and ventilation were lacking. One other small quirk was that the sink in the sitting room of the suite (great feature because of lack of light in bathroom) was pretty much useless - barely a trickle. There is central air that worked very well, plus a few fans in our suite, so the temperature was always comfortable. Also, the Shortt Suite is on the top floor - no elevator, stairs only - which was not a problem for us, but just a heads up. We loved the Grace Manor Inn and the warm hospitality of our hosts. Would definitely stay here again when we return to Richmond.

Recently stayed at Grace Manor Inn and highly recommend this Bed & Breakfast to anyone who loves visiting the Richmond area. Beautiful surroundings, excellent breakfasts, very clean and comfortable rooms. Albert and Dawn are wonderful and gracious and the dogs are adorable. Ken and Annette from Virginia Beach

We had a two night stay at Grace Manor. The beds were comfortable, sheets soft and clean. Breakfast was fabulous!! Our inn keeper was charming very knowledgeable about the Richmond area. We would definitely recommend this to friends!

We stayed in the Carriage House; very private with a full kitchen. Modern design, unlike the Inn, and very roomy. We had dinner one night on the balcony overlooking the gardens and pool-lovely. Breakfast was fabulous and the Yorkies are adorable!!

We received a stay at the Grace Manor Inn as a gift from our daughters on Living Social. The hospitality of Albert, Dawn and the little yorkies was outstanding, and the goumet breakfast meals were superb. The Inn has a certain elegance,, but at the same time relaxed and cozy.We very highly recommend thius Inn

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Carriage house two nights and absolutely loved it! I live in Indiana and he lives in North Carolina so this was an opportunity to spend some much needed one-on-one time together. The house is beautiful and very close to many of the main streets and restaurants. Albert gave us a map right when we arrived and marked all of the popular tourist spots on it for us. We were able to tour the House of the Confederacy (Excellent!), walk down Monument Avenue, visit their cupcake shop (Carytown Cupcakes; Yum!) in Carytown, drive along the James river, and eat at some very nice restaurants. The best food we ate during our visit was definitely breakfast cooked by Albert and Dawn! Delicious! If I visit Richmond again, I will definitely be staying at the Grace Manor Inn. Thank you Albert and Dawn for a wonderful weekend!

The house is wonderfully appointed. You could spend a couple days just checking out the artwork, furniture, and other pieces throughout the house. Albert does it all and is a great breakfast chef. Our visit was in early March, so it was too early to use the pool, but it was clean and open for use. Come July and August, the pool would've been a welcome feature on top of what we enjoyed. Our private suite was equally well-appointed. A very comfortable queen sized bed, a vanity sink between the bedroom and a large reading/sitting room with enough books for several summers, and a bathroom with a bath tub and shower.

Stayed here over Presidents' Day Weekend 2013 after purchasing a voucher on Livingsocial. We had a great weekend here. The Inn is well-located in Richmond, within walking distance of Monument Avenue and a number of good restaurants. It was also within a quick driving time to Carytown and downtown Richmond. The manager was very knowledgeable about local restaurants and gave good advice for where to get dinner when we checked in relatively late on Friday. The Inn itself is beautiful with several well-furnished common spaces in what I took to be a fin-de-siecle style and an attractive backyard. We would have gone for a swim in the pool if it hadn't been February - I'm sure in the summer it's a great benefit to have an inviting pool so close by. Breakfasts were delicious and ended with a cupcake from Carrytown Cupcakes. We can't recommend Carrytown Cupcakes enough, and having them at the end of breakfast was unusual but highly appreciated. Our Livingsocial voucher came with two free Carrytown Cupcakes, so we got a lot of effective free advertising. (The manager's wife owns the Cupcake store, so that helps explain the cross-marketing.) Our voucher also came with free tickets to the Museum of the Confederacy, which is an attraction worth visiting. While we stayed there, we also visited the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, which is close and has an excellent permanent collection. The owners have three Yorkies, but I didn't hear anything out of them while we were in the main inn, and in fact they stayed out of the common areas entirely so far as I could tell. Overall, highly recommended. We will stay there again when we get a chance to come back to Richmond and stay in the city, and we will recommend it to our acquaintances in the area, as well.

We stayed the weekend for a business trip. Gorgeous home, very gracious and well appointed. Close to all attractions and great restaurants.

My wife and I recently stayed at Grace Manor Inn and what an awesome time we had. The property is tremendous, and a work of art in its own right. The location was perfect with attractions that were within walking distance or short drives away. The Innkeeper, Albert, is open and friendly, and an invaluable resource of information about the area. We felt at home our entire stay. The music at breakfast is a bonus, and the entire breakfast is an outstanding production that ends with a cupcake from the best cupcake shop in Richmond.

stay here. It is a charming early 20th century home with a nice yard, swimming pool and hot tub. The breakfasts were delicious and Albert is a most gracious host

We just wanted a quiet getaway from the hustle- bustle of pre Christmas preparations and Grace Manor more than fit the bill. Inkeepers were superb. We trvel all over the country staying in B&B's and I will say they served the best breakfast we have ever had. Pride of ownership shows here. We love the woodwork, craftsmanship, furnishings, artwork and feeling of older houses. Glad to see the inkeepers furnished in period correct pieces as I could enjoy my back at the B&B time just looking at all the details. The Inn is close to every thing we wanted to see and within walking distance to most. We enjoyed walking the surrounding neighborhood and looking at how it was decorated for Christmas. Two unobtrusive Yorkies will greet you at the door ang make you feel welcome to their home upon your return each night. Overall, a great stay and experience. Morgan

Our stay at the Grace Manor Inn was the relaxing getaway we meant it to be. Our room, or rather suite of rooms (the Cottage Suite) was comfortable, clean and fun. The breakfast was delicious -- with several touches that made it memorable. And Albert went above and beyond to make sure that my friend and I got the movie night we had planned on.

This was not only our first Bead&Breakfast, but the first time I had been able to really spend time with my husband in four or five months. He arrived in Fort Lee a week or so ago with the Navy and we absolutely could not have asked for anything better! The house itself is gorgeous; antiques, original chandeliers, actually read books (not just bought for looks), and breath taking works of art. Set in a great area! Close to W Cary Street for lovely local shopping and eateries, also Albert and Dawn's Cupcake Boutique! Theater, Arts, History centers and museums all very close by. And if you want to just take a walk go for it, the area is absolutely beautiful and rich with history. Albert is the most fantastic host and Dawn is so pleasant. They really made our stay the most perfect and we are so grateful for their hospitality. Even the other guests were great and we all had the most wonderful conversations over the to die for three course breakfast! Their house keeping staff is not only thorough but very nice. Last, but not least, Bear and Peanut, their two Yorkies, are the cutest little things in the world! They are very friendly, and if you are in the least bit worried about dog hair, don't be. I didn't see a bit of it anywhere, and a Navy uniform is very good white glove! My husband pet them and made friends...nothing, not even on his pea coat which tends to pick up anything and everything! Going to Richmond? Stay here!

This was my second stay at "The Grace" and I enjoyed the warm ambiance, spacious suite on the third floor ( even afghan on the couch) and a most delicious breakfast. I will return.

We spent two nights at the Grace Manor Inn as a romantic getaway and a home base for exploring Richmond. The guest rooms and common areas are beautiful - the inn keepers take obvious joy in their roles as hosts and preservationists. Breakfast is exquisite. We appreciated the restaurant list and recommendations for local activities, which helped us plan a relaxing and memorable weekend.

I've stayed here on my own for business as well as for pleasure with my significant other. They've got special rates for business travelers, and if you're on the road as often as I am, this has it all over staying at a hotel. This really is the place to stay. If you're wavering between this and another place, stay here. You will not second-guess your choice. It has turn-of-the century elegance in modern day -- nothing looks shabby or faded as is sometimes the case at B&Bs that try to preserve a more traditional charm. From the gorgeous period furniture to the luxurious fabrics and window treatments, you just kind of want to wander around the house, drink it all in, and imagine you are wearing an outfit borrowed from Lady Mary of Downtown Abbey. One thing that's definitely modern, though -- the bed. I can't remember ever feeling so comfortable in a bed that wasn't my own. Very cozy and supportive; easy to relax in but didn't wake up with the tweaks in my back that too-soft mattress sometimes cause. I also loved the claw-foot tub and the fact that they provide you with bubble bath to use in it. And if you are a food person, you'll love waking up to Albert's breakfast. A lot of B&B's I've gone to have a kind of self-serve atmosphere going, which is fine of course, but there's something wonderful about the table service way Albert does it. It's a three-course gourmet meal (the final course is a cupcake from his wife's delicious shop -- I found myself looking forward to that course very specifically when I made a return trip recently), and the way Albert serves his guest has all of the luxury of finer things, but no stuffiness or stiffness, which frankly I would not be interested in first thing in the morning. Whenever I stay at the Grace Manor Inn, I feel like I've indulged in something special for myself. You really ought to see it for yourself.

We stayed at the Grace Manor Inn while in town for my daughter to visit the University of Richmond. It was a great choice as it gave us a sense of the city of Richmond and was only a short drive to campus (as well as to other Richmond sightseeing locations). Our suite was also nice, as the sitting room gave us plenty of room to spread out. Albert was very friendly and accommodating. He gave us plenty of advice and suggestions on things to do and see (and places to eat!) during our trip. We will definitely make a return visit.

Our stay in Richmond at the Grace manor Inn was very enjoyable. Our room, the Shortt Suite was really nice and roomy and the sitting area very relaxing with a very comfy couch and chair. The bed was great and we slept like tops! Bathroom down the hall was even alright though the shower a wee too small for the "full figured". We really enjoyed the breakfasts which were truely gourmet and of course the hosts were very warm and iinviting. We liked the fact that they had a folder of recommended restaurants that they had actually tried themselves. If we ever get back to Richmond we would definately stay there again.

This was our first bed and breakfast and we weren't sure exactly what to expect. We were greeted by Albert, who gave us a tour and a bit of history regarding his charming inn and took the time to explain places to see and things to do. We were, needless to say, quite impressed - both by Albert and his B&B. The room was "period", except for the modern ameneties, and very comfortable. The host was wonderful and made us feel right at home. His gourmet breakfasts were wonderful too! We enjoyed sitting by the pool and relaxing, and loved playing with Peanut and Teddy, their two sweet Yorkies. We will be sure to stay at the Grace Manor again in the near future and would recommend this establishment to anyone who looks for a quiet, quaint, and charming place to stay in Richmond.

If you looking for a place to stay in Richmond don't look any further, this is it ! We were looking for a place to stay in Richmond while visiting our daughter and chose to stay at the Grace Manor Inn. Our daughter said that we could not have chosen a better spot right off of Monument Ave in the middle of a beautiful historic part of town with plenty of stores and restaurants in walking distance. My favorite little store for picking up a nice bottle of wine and some cheese and crackers was the Strawberry Market on 415 Strawberry Street. Albert and Dawn could not have made our stay more pleasant, and there little Yorkies are adorable! The three coarse breakfast was delicious, the suites are pretty and spacious and I enjoyed relaxing by the pool after a full day in Richmond. We are already looking forward to our next visit at The Grace Manor Inn.

We had never stayed in a bed and breakfast before and decided to visit Richmond and stay At the Grave manor inn and we were not disappointed. Our every need was attended to by Albert. He is a fantastic host and chef. We enjoyed sightseeing, we were given coupons to the local attractions. We highly recommend staying here. Most of all. The little Yorkies were so delightful. A must see when in Richmond!! Also, the carytown area is close by and cupcakes from the lady of the manor's shop were the best we have ever tasted! Don't think we will ever stay in a regular hotel ever again

The property was beautiful and well kept, and the surrounding neighborhood was charming. The 3 course gourmet breakfasts were top notch. We stayed in the Shortt Suite and while the adjoining, personal sitting room was very relaxing and comfortable, the room did not have blinds, just guazy curtains, so it was quite bright in the eastern facing room every morning! The innkeeper, Albert, was very accomodating and pleasant, especially considering I had food allergies and required special dishes for breakfast each day. My husband and I had a wonderful stay there, though we didn't avail ourselves of the beautiful saltwater pool outside. Highly recommend this Inn.

Great mini-vacation. Close to some wonderful restaurants and shops. Wonderful breakfast and great host.

Great service, dining, location and steeped in history. First time in Richmond and owner provided maps, tickets and valuable recommendations for how to prioritize sites, experiences and dining according to our expressed preferences. We were wowed by the city and plan to return to this B&B!

One of the best bed and breakfast I have stayed at. Beautiful house, we had a really nice room. Had to walk down the hallway to the bathroom, but not a big deal, robes are provided. What really makes the property is not only the great location, but the owner. Each morning, all the guests gathered at 9am for breakfast. It was formal, but very well done. Several courses including champaign. It was nice to chat with the other guests. The owner is a trained chef, so the food was great. He went out of his way to ensure we were happy and taken care of. Would highly recommend this property to others. They also have two small dogs that are really cute. Thanks Albert!

Have stayed there several times and always loved it. Great breakfasts, gracious hosts and very comfortable beds and spacious suits.

An outstanding experience in the heart of Richmond. Beuatifully appointed home with spacious and very private accommodations. By far the cleanest place we have ever stayed. This home is a special place and well maintained by the lovely and welcoming innkeepers - Albert & Dawn and their two wonderful Yorkies. The architecture and furnishings are very special and the beautiful in ground salt water pool is a great way to end your day.

The Inn was lovely and the food was delicious. We enjoyed the salt water pool, it was very unique.

I was going to be passing thru the Richmond area and decided to stay at the Grace Manor Inn. Everything was amazing. The place was very clean, close to local attractions, and the food was very good!

I f you're going to stay in Richmond in "hot" July, you're going to want to stay at the beautifully cool and relaxing Grace Manor Inn. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Inn is beautifully furnished and decorated. Albert and Dawn are friendly and helpful with suggestions, recommendations, and just pleasant conversations. The breakfasts are elegant and delicious, with yummy cupcakes from their own shop in nearby Carey Town. We did a good amount of walking which was wonderful, although hot, but the Inn has such a great location and is surrounded by great architecture ( The Fan, Carey Town, and Monument Ave.) We would love to stay at the Inn again and have already been talking about it to our friends. I would recommend staying there if you get the chance as it was a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable experience!

We stayed at Grace Manor while attending a wedding in the Richmond area. This was a wonderful choice, we couldn't have been happier. The innkeeper has got to be one of the most cheerful and friendly people on the planet, we felt welcomed at all times and he took a genuine interest in everyone staying there. The room was great. We stayed in the "suite" over the garage and had plenty of room and lots of comfort. The common rooms in the B&B were gorgeous and inviting. The breakfast left us speechless. The food and drink were fantastic, incredible, terrific, and simply delicious. I would recommend you don't skip the breakfast, it's worth your time. We were fortunate to have some of the owners cupcakes for dessert one breakfast, they are fantastic. If there was a cupcake wars in Richmond, the owners of this B&B would be contenders for the prize. The location was convenient to restaurants, a block off monument drive, ten minutes to Carytown, ten minutes to downtown Richmond and the Confederate museum. You couldn't ask for a better location.

We stayed in the Carriage House. It was very cozy and decorated beautifully. Albert, the owner, was very gracious - he helped bring our bags in and gave us a tour of the main house as well as the Carriage House. We were greeted in the morning by Cocoa and Bear, the owners' cute little Yorkies and breakfast was awesome! Three courses and very fresh ingredients including a cupcake from the owners' cupcakery. They also have put in a salt water swimming pool - and we enjoyed it immensely! This was my first experience at a B&B and it is one I look forward to repeating in the future. :)

My husband and I enjoyed a last minute getaway and were impressed by the Inn and the city of Richmond. Albert and Dawn were the perfect hosts with knowledge of the city, superb culinary skills and a warm, cozy and inviting home. Our room, the Zimmermann suite, named after the original owners, was very luxurious and roomy. The adorable Yorkies and decadent cupcakes were an added bonus.

A great B&B. My husband and I stayed in the Carriage House--private, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. Breakfasts were fabulous.

We stayed at the Grace Manor Inn for our anniversary, and it was a wonderfully relaxing weekend. Albert was an incredibly gracious host, and the breakfast was fabulous--with cupcakes every time! We stayed in the Carriage House, which is a VERY spacious apartment separate from the main house. It's more than enough space for three people--the two of us felt almost guilty having it to ourselves! We used a Living Social coupon for our stay, but we will definitely be back, and will happily pay full price next time!

Beautiful home, great attention to detail. Excellent breakfast with the surprise treat at the end. We enjoyed our stay very much.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Grace Manor and the History Tour Package. Richmond has its own long unique place in the history of our great country. If you visit take the time for the gourmet relaxing breakfast. Beautiful home with much attention to detail by the hosts.

We started staying at the Grace Manor Inn in September 2006, and every year since then we have stayed two to three weekends per year. Dawn and Albert are the best inn keepers you can ask for. Their knowledge of the city of Richmond and surrounding areas is a great help when you are planning day trips. The breakfast is to die for. Once you stayat the Grace Manor Inn you will be hooked and you will want to come back again and again.

Having booked two nights at the Grace Manor Inn as a surprise for my husband's birthday, I was apprehensive about our accommodations. I should have used Albert's prompt and pleasant responses to my questions when I made the reservation as a barometer of what was to come. From start to finish, everything was spectacular. Our rooms(sitting and sleeping) were spacious, clean and definitely decorated in a way that added to the ambiance. Breakfast each morning was a gastronomical delight. Each course was served with elegance and aplomb. Our host was very attentive to our needs and made sure that our days were planned and that we knew when and where to go. I would highly recommend a stay at Grace Manor for any occasion..

A beautiful, well appointed Inn with gracious hosts. Delicious cupcakes (baked on site) with two adorable Yorkies to meet and greet. Convenient and lovely neighborhood.

Grace Manor Inn was a wonderful get-a-way for my wife and me. We wanted to just get away - no particular plans. The location was excellent because you are within waling/short drive distance to the historic districts, restaurants, theaters, and shopping. Innkeepers Al and Dawn brought a warmness to the atmosphere of the old inn. Breakfast was fabulous as was the company of the other guests. We would recommend Grace Manor Inn as a place to stay in Richmond.

This was our first experience staying in a B&B and we had a wonderful time. We stayed in the Carriage House, which was warm and cheerful with its bright colors. The main house, built in 1910, was beautifully furnished. The accommodations were quite comfortable. The innkeepers offered excellent hospitality and were very knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast was awesome! The pool looked inviting, but it was way too cold to enjoy it at this time of year. The B&B is in a great central location. You will encounter two adorable Yorkies who love to be scratched behind the ears and under the chin. We will go back!!

This was our first time at a bed and breakfast and we enjoyed every minute of it. My wife and I wanted to get away for the weekend, and this truly turned out to be a "home away from home." Albert really took care, and made us feel very welcome from the start! Thank you for such a wonderful experience. You have definitely raised our expectations of B&Bs.

After a long and stressful deployment this was exactly what we needed. The entire house was very relaxing. I loved the fact that they not only had a private swimming pool but it was a heated swimming pool. It was so soothing to get into the pool during the evenings and swim under the stars. This was a very romantic and most enjoyable weekend that I haven't forgotten. The couple who own the home are most hospitable and genuinely gracious. We also received an extra discount on the room for letting them know we were military. I am going on another deployment and I know exactly where I am going when I get back. Thank you so much Grace Manor.

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend at Grace Manor. From the welcoming cupcakes, delicious breakfasts and well-appointed and comfortable vintage rooms, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Richmond. Still marveling over the 100-year old chandeliers!

A wonderful and relaxing getaway spent in a delightful house decorated in a unique blend of the antique and modern. Friendly, knowledgeable host and unbelievable food. Great location in Richmond's Fan, close to most everything. Recommend it highly.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversery at the Grace Manor Inn. Everything was wonderful. Very gracious host, knowledgable about the house and area. The rooms were spacious, a sitting room came with the bedroom, bath down the hall. The bed was comortable, the breakfast marvalous. In Richmond, go here.

The Grace Manor Inn was an excellent B&B. We stayed from 12/26 to 12/28/2011. We stayed in the Carriage House. The suite was excellent. It had ample space and the privacy that we desired. The food was great and the hosts were terrific. We highly recommend this B&B and we will stay there again in the near future.

My husband and I spent our 21st anniversary at the Grace Manor Inn, Richmond VA, Nov 28-30, 2011, and couldn't have been more pleased! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. We were in awe of the home's beauty and decor. We stayed in the Fensterer Davis Suite which was very spacious and oh so comfortable, especially the wonderful pillow-top mattress and the crisp white sheets! We've stayed in over a dozen B&B's and the Grace Manor Inn, by far, had the best gourmet breakfast...and their cupcakes are to die for! We made sure we bought a dozen of these delectable babies from Carytown Cupcakes to take home! Albert & Dawn couldn't have been more gracious and accommodating. They certainly know how to pamper their guests! We plan to return again next year.

Grace Manor Inn in Richmond is in a beautifully restored old home. It is in an excellent location for site seeing. The breakfasts are marvelous and delicious. The inkeepers are very knowledgeable and helpful. We have been several times and will likely go there again.

The Pictures do an injustice for this property! The owner/manager is more than pleasant and extremely accommodating! Our room was spacious, the bed was relaxing, the claw foot tub was a welcome experience of old times gone by. Grace Manor Inn was perfectly located for our visit to Richmond. It was so centrally located that we were almost locked in due to the Marathon. However, Albert came to our rescue!!! He provided us with a map showing the marathon route and available egress routes that enabled us to get to our destinations of choice. I fear the consequences of giving a 5 Star rating... I'm afraid that they will earn so much business that I may never be able to get another reservation! Thanks again to Albert, Dawn and the ferocious Yorkie Attack dogs!!!

my favorite movies have always been ones like "life with father", "meet me in st. louis", etc. that are filmed in victorian style houses. now i have had the opportunity to actually stay in one. this b&b is outstanding. the owners take immaculate care of their home. they are so friendly and helpful you feel more like family than like a guest. the food was outstanding and the 2 remaining puppies were fun to visit with. i hope i have the opportunity to return again.

What an amazing B&B. I have nothing but great things to say about our 2 days spent here. The room was comfortable, the decor was amazing, and the food... oh the food!!! There is nothing more wonderful then waking up to the smell of fresh cooked bacon; we knew we were in for a real treat! I am going to recommend this B&B to everybody I know!

My husband and I spent an adventurous eight days at GMI. Because we called too late to reserve the room of our choice for the length of our stay, Albert, innkeeper and perfect host, offered a unique solution - to move us and our belongings into whatever room was not occupied for the night, or even a few nights. Over the course of our stay we slept in three of the four guest suites. This game of musical rooms had an unexpected bonus – it allowed us to be more than guests inhabiting an assigned room and to imagine, instead, that we were staying in the private rooms of a family, each member of which let us use his and her bedroom and private sitting room while they were away visiting cousins in Baltimore or Charlotte or Atlanta. (You can easily engage your fantasies at Grace Manor Inn.) Each room has its own personality and collection of individual belongings, and while we enjoyed the Victorian ambience, the remote controls on each private sitting room table and the unobtrusive refrigerator and coffeemaker let you know that modern conveniences are at hand. Albert and Dawn Schick, owners/innkeepers of Grace Manor Inn have created a marvelous environment – relaxed, fun, and casual despite the Victoriana - and delicious breakfasts that frequently end with a truly incredible cupcake conceived by Dawn, known as the “Hummingbird.” Albert is the perfect host, or innkeeper, as he proudly calls himself, and thanks to the Schicks’ efforts, returning to Grace Manor Inn each evening was as enjoyable for us as each day’s outing in Richmond. Imagination not mandatory, but fun if you can do it. Enjoy.

The innkeeper was very friendly and helpful. Everything was provided down to the smallest detail. The room was warm, bright, and relaxing. We were served an unbelievably delicious and luxurious breakfast both mornings. We would highly recommend this inn.

Both my wife and I enjoyed our overnight stay at Grace Manor. We received a very freindly welcome from Albert when we arrived and found the room comfortable and convenient although the bathroom plumbing was not the best. We were given good and helpful advice regarding our stay, and the things we wished to do while in Richmond. The breakfast was quite spectacular and enjoyable, although we had to leave the surprise final part for lunch! We appreciated how the owners had created a gracious ambience, but we would suggest a simple vase of a few fresh flowers rather than the silk/plastic displays. We thoughly recommend this to others

My husband and I spent 2 days at the Grace Manor Inn while visiting Richmond.We had a wonderful time

The Grace Manor Inn is a wonderful place to stay. Dawn and Albert are gracious hosts and the amenities are attractive and comfortable.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. They gave good suggestions for things to visit and restaurants to try. Delicious breakfasts. Beautiful house. Wonderful city. A most pleasant surprise.

The owners and residents, Albert and Dawn, along with their two sweet yorkies, were very friendly and most welcoming. Albert's knowledge of the history of their home was impressive, as was the beautiful house itself. The landscaping was fabulous, with a pool and a fountain. We enjoyed sitting in the backyard and listening to the waterfall. Our rooms were beautifully decorated and spotless. Gourmet breakfast was delightful and served with panache by Albert. I would definitely recommend the Grace Manor Inn to anyone who would like pampering in a wonderful B&B!

We had a wonderful stay at Grace Manor. The rooms are exquisite and the Inn is beautiful. The breakfasts are a true experience... as good as you would expect in the finest restaurant. The owners/innkeepers are great. They are always ready to make your stay better or to provide local information, but when you want to be alone, you will not even know they are there. You can't go wrong here.

My wife and I stayed at the Fensterer-Davis suite and it was awesome! It has a queen-sized, flame mahogany bedroom set from the early 1900’s, which gives the impression of stepping back in time. The beautiful and spacious sitting room, which connects to the bedroom, has a Victorian sofa, chairs, and a desk. It also showcases a ‘wall of art’ featuring a collection of period-style paintings in gold-gilded frames. Can't wait to visit again!

Grace Manor Inn is a charming site, very comfortable and pampering. The furniture, artwork and fixtures are beautiful, pool area quite relaxing and Albert attends to your every need. Adding a touch of cuteness are the Yorkies, who never bothered us, but loved the attention if we wished. We highly recommend!

Wonderful service, attention to detail, very clean and comfortable, nice location. We will return!

Grace Manor is like stepping back in time but without losing any of our modern day requirements. This is one of the most beautiful B&B's we have stayed in (and we have stayed in plenty) and is an experience not to be missed. Grandeur does not even begin to describe Grace Manor and the beauty is that all the downstairs rooms are available for use by guests. That is if you can draw yourself away from your room. We stayed in the Zimmerman suite and experienced sheer indulgence. We also got a chance to peep into some of the other rooms and whichever one you stay in you would not be disappointed. Added to this is the use of the outdoor swimming pool and patio, which on a hot August day is very welcome. Now to the breakfast, well once again this was beyond expectation, I was even offered a bellini, a first for any B&B and of course I thought it would be rude to refuse! Fresh fruit, cooked items and all finished off with homemade cupcakes, well what can I say, delicious! And finally to our hosts. We didn't really see much of Dawn as she was busy baking cupcakes for her shop that she has in Richmond but she was very nice. Albert is charm itself! He could not have been more attentive or welcoming and no detail was overlooked. Do yourself a favour, if you head to Richmond and I suggest you do, head straight to Grace Manor. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Wonderful trip and stay. Food was great. House is absolutely beautiful. Owners are very nice and accommodating, and their pet dogs were very friendly. Very quiet, and felt as if we had the whole place to ourselves. 5 stars!

Just that. We had a great time. The mansion was just amazing, filled with period furniture and some amazing history, which the inn keepers describe when you enter the house. The location is great, centrally located near Cary Town and downtown. It was quiet and the cupcakes were outstanding. Yes, even a day or two old. Sorry, Albert and Dawn, we were just too excited about the inn to have the cupcakes until we got back home. The strawberry shortcake was my favorite.

My husband and I enjoyed an anniversary stay in the Zimmerman Suite at Grace Manor Inn. The accomodations were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed the three-course breakfast--a real treat! Look no further--this is the place to stay!

Four of us stayed in two rooms in the beautiful 3 story Grace Manor Inn mansion. Albert immediately made us feel welcome, and also suggested several good places to eat during our visit. The breakfast served every morning was delicious, and if you are lucky, you will get to sample one of Dawn's amazing cupcakes. We will definitely be returning next year and are looking forward to another wonderful stay at this fabulous B&B.

Our stay was wonderful. Albert & Dawn are hospitality plus. Grace Manor Inn is a beautiful historic home in Richmond, VA's "Fan district" & it has been lovingly cared for. I can't say enough about the breakfast. Absolutely delicious. I will recommend this bed & breakfast to all my friends.

Our recent stay at Grace Manor was wonderful. The hosts were so friendly and gracious. The home is beautiful and the food was exceptional! We were definitely pampered and enjoyed every minute. The location was perfect for seeing the sites of beautiful Richmond, VA.

The owners have done a wonderful job of restoring and maintaining this 100-year-old mansion. I am especially impressed with the artwork and antiques they have picked up at estate auctions. Albert has an outgoing "tour guide" personality. Dawn has a cupcake shop, so expect cupcakes for the final course at breakfast. They have a beautiful swimming pool, but of course it was not useable in January, so I think $150 per night is a bit high for a winter rate.

When visiting Richmond, Grace Manor is the place to stay. Perfect accommodations for a peaceful, relaxing, comfortable visit. Great location, wonderful restaurants. Owner Albert is very knowledgable on the area and has great recommendations for the best restaurants and things to do in the area. Wife Dawn prepares a breakfast that was delectable. Must visit her new cupcake shop in Carytown for some take home goodies. Guest were treated to one of her gourmet cupcakes after breakfast, a white chocolate/cranberry specialty. The home has character and exquisite parlors. Wish I was there during warm weather to enjoy the beautiful pool and hot tub. Albert and Dawn have it down to perfection to accommodating their guest needs. A wonderful all around experience.

We chose the Grace Manor Inn for their convenient location while in town to run the Richmond Marathon. Turned out to be an extremely comfortable home base with very accommodating hosts...we even decided to stay an extra night.

My wife and I enjoyed a belated wedding anniversary in November at the Grace Manor Inn. Albert and Dawn were most gracious hosts with a wealth of knowledge of the city. They attended to every detail of our stay. Their home is a treasure and every piece inside is a beautiful antique. The food and conversation at breakfast was most enjoyable as well. A great way to visit Richmond!

My wife and I and another couple spent a wonderful weekend in Richmond, staying at the Grace Manor Inn. While we were driving down (from DC) the staff called to make sure we were ok and to see if we needed help circumventing traffic. And the experience only got better from there. Being met at the gate after receiving excellent directions, and being served tea in the living room to relax after our trip, before being taken to our rooms to wash up and relax before setting out to explore and go out for dinner. We were well taken care of, and the owners made sure that anything we needed, whether directions to restaurants or breakfast idiosyncracies were handled quickly and thoroughly. The food provided was absolutely wonderful, and the warmth extended mad all of us feel like part of an extended family.

We had a marvelous weekend at Grace Manor. Al was a charming and welcoming host, and Dawn's breakfast creations were inspiring. A great experieince in a beautiful property.

My wife and I travel fairly extensively, and we think part of the pleasure of travel is where you spend the night. An absolutely fantastic 100 + year old restored mansion. It even has a salt water pool and a great patio for just hanging out. Breakfast was excellent and the host was gracious and accommodating (we arrived 2 hours early). We would definitely sstay here again.

This Inn was absolutely beautiful. The hosts, Albert and Dawn were so helpful and accomodating. They were happy to recommend local dining and shopping. We even tried out the saltwater pool. Wonderful! Loved the three little Yokies. The gourmet breakfast was such a treat! We looked forward to it every morning. Enjoyable all around. Why stay at a chain when your can be treated to a much more personable experience? Highly recommend!

My husband and I stayed 2 nights in the carraige house suite. Everything we could want was available to us--delightful suite which we could eat in or even cook in, comfortable rooms, and 3 precious and friendly yorkies who greeted us and made us feel right at home. Breakfasts were elegant, culinary delights.

I originally made a date error upon booking this B&B, and did not think I was going to be able to stay there on the dates I was going to be in Virginia. Albert was very helpful and accomodating in helping us clear up the error, so I had a great impression of this Inn two weeks before I even arrived. The positive experience continued when we were several hours later than planned arriving. We kept in touch with Albert via cell phone, and he went so far as to tell us what kind of traffic and driving times to expect driving from Washington DC to Richmond at rush hour. The Inn itself is absolutely beautiful, and Albert and Dawn were great hosts. Three course breakfasts were a delightful treat, and Albert was always eager to offer sight-seeing and dining recommendations. All in all, an outstanding experience.

My daughter and I had the pleasure of staying at the Grace Mannor Inn this summer. The breakfast was outstanding, served with grace and style. A wonderful atmosphere and a standout on our East Coast vacation. Will probably do it again!

Wonderful-the best word to describe the Grace Manor Inn. If your looking for a cozy and intimate place to stay, the Grace Manor is for you. Service was wonderful, pool was beautiful and so was the rest of the house. The best part about this Inn is waking up in the morning to the smell fresh cooking and coming down to the gorgeous dining room for a delicious three course breakfast. If your in Richmond this Inn is a must!

Great location, great experience. If you are staying here in the summer, the pool is a great touch. Breakfast on Sunday was delicious. Stayed in the Carriage House which is a modern aprtment rather than a hotel room. I highly recommend this B& B.

The Salt water pool was perfect for a private evening swim. The original architecture and period-style furnishings were gorgeous and comfortable. They have ensured that the original integrity of the Victorian property remains while accomodating the requirements of the 21st Century guests. They also answered every questions about the original owners - the Zimmermans - as if they had been their own ancestors. An in-room restaurant guide,complete with menus and take-along directions to each, a result of the innkeepers own dining experiences was very helpful and accurate! Every detail was taken into consideration by the innkeepers. Breakfast was fabulous! We're already looking for an "excuse" to return.

We stayed at the Grace Manor Inn for only one night on a road trip from Florida to Philadelphia. It was a wonderful break from being on the road. The inn is beautiful and hearing the history upon arrival was a treat. Our suite was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The innkeepers were terrific! They were extremely helpful with anything we needed, including a great recommendation for dinner (Edo's squid is a must!). A dip in the pool was the perfect end to our night a the inn. Breakfast in the morning was very relaxing and quite delicious. We will definitely recommend this hotel to anyone and we will be back ourselves!

We spent an evening at the Inn and loved it. Dawn and Albert are gracious and accomodating. Breakfast was wonderful and the conversation around the table was fun, especially due to the leisurely pace of the very special multi-course meal. Our only criticism is that our private bathroom was out into the hall, not a problem for us but could cause some to pause. Also, our room was on the third floor with only walk up access. Again, we were fine, some may not be. It's a great place, what a B&B should be, a departure from a standard hotel. Hospitality at its best.

We stayed for two nights on our tour of Virginia July 2010. The house was fantastic and we made good use of the pool in the blistering heat. Dawn & Albert were wonderful hosts and we were made very welcome. The breakfasts were brilliant - no need to eat during the day. Will certainly return if we visit area again. Norma & Stan Lee UK.

My husband and I just wanted to get away for the evening and did not want to drive far. We stayed one night at Grace Manor....wow! What a gorgeous historic home. The innkeepers were great, the food at breakfast was outstanding, along with the conversation. We were lucky in that we were the only guests on that particular night so we had the place to ourselves. Bring a swimsuit if you go in the summer...they have a beautiful pool! The only challenge is that we stayed there during a ridiculous heatwave so it was not quite as cool as we would have liked but I doubt anyone in town could have kept their homes cool in heat indexes exceeding 103! Definitely need to check them out! We will be back, I hope.

We recently spent a July night at Grace Manor Inn as part of a Richmond history hunting expedition. The inn is located in a very handsome part of the city, with good access to major highways and easily found. The innkeeper provides very good off-road parking behind the inn. A very nice salt water swimming pool is in the back yard - though we did not use it. Albert, our host met us for a pre-arranged check-in time and showed us around the Inn as well as an interesting run-through of the history of Grace Manor. Inside Grace Manor is beautifully decorated and faithful to the turn-of-the-century style. This is a B&B that hosts 6 to 7 guests so the shared, or public space within the inn is very generous for reading or a glass of sherry in the evenings. We stayed in the Fensterer-Davis suite which was especially spacious and decorated as well as the public spaces. The Inn was of course scrupulously clean and well kept. A minor complaint was the temperature within the inn, the air conditioning felt a bit taxed, but the day had been in the 90s. In the morning Dawn cooked us a lovely breakfast - served very ably by Albert. Our guest company that day turned out to be a British couple - touring Virginia and the Blue Ridge mountains which provided an interesting morning chat before we left for Williamsburg, our next day's stop.

Stayed here during a very hot spell and was not overall disappointed. In cooler weather I would have rated it higher. That being said because the house was somewhat hot. Passed by the thermostat one evening and it said 81 degrees! They had a couple fans in the room, but as hot as it was, it blew warm air. The bed was very comfy. But, and a big but, their pool saved the day and was very relaxing. Loved the salt water, no burning or any smell. The dogs were cute and added a nice warm feeling, especially if you're a dog lover and they were very well behaved. Innkeepers were very nice and helpful. The breakfast was the most beautiful creation we have ever had at a B&B and we stay at several a year. Will not try to describe it as I will miss some of the ingredients, but for a starter we had champagne mango juice--and the tasty surprises went on and on. A couple other little things that would have put it over the top would be some bottled water or pop for guests and maybe cookies upon arrival--maybe we're getting spoiled but it does add a nice touch and makes a person feel very much at home. Also it was somewhat hard to locate this inn on a busy street as we saw no sign of a B&B anywhere and passed it a couple times. Worth the stay though once you're there!

Just spent a Girls' Getaway weekend at Grace Manor. My childhood friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our respite at this B&B. Great breakfasts, well appointed, clean bed and bath rooms, abundant sitting areas to sip wine and chat and a lovely pool and patio, just the right spot to savor the afternoon or, in our case, the clear sky and cool breezes of our last evening together. The innkeepers and their crew of three, adorable Yorkies attended to our every question and need. It was a great weekend. Highly recommend this B&B

Three childhood friends and I stayed at Grace Manor Inn for a girls weekend and it was fabulous. Dawn and Albert went out of their way to make sure we had a truly memorable time, both at their inn as well as in the city of Richmond. The service and food are beyond description. The suites were well beyond my expectations, and I've stayed at several B&Bs over the years.

I am a twenty year-old college kid who came down to Richmond to do research. I wanted to stay in a place that wasn't a Hampton Inn, to really get a feel for Richmond and have a comfortable place to come home to. I had such a fantastic stay at the Grace Manor Inn! I stayed in the Shortt suite, which was very spacious, with a desk and high-speed internet connection. All of the linens smelled wonderfully. And the food was so delicious! Every morning I felt like a queen. Dawn and Albert were incredibly nice and genuine people. Their restaurant recommendations were very appreciated (and right on). The inn is in a beautiful area of Richmond; I felt very safe even though I was traveling alone. This is the first bed and breakfast that I have stayed in, and Dawn and Albert have set the bar very high. I would recommend--or urge, rather--anyone to stay at the Grace Manor Inn.

I spent a very relaxing birthday weekend at the Grace Manor Inn. The public rooms and guest suites furnished with Victorian antiques are beautiful, but also have modern amenities (refrigerator, coffee pot, TV, terry cloth bathrobe). Summer in Richmond is hot and I particularly enjoyed the pool. The innkeepers are very friendly; Dawn is a gourmet cook and Albert is a fount of helpful information -- ask them to recommend a restaurant; they've checked them all out. And their three Yorkies are very cute.

We absolutely adored this B&B! The food was outstanding, the Carriage House was so charming and the poot area was an unbelievable treat on a super hot weekend! Highly recommend the Girls Getaway Package!

We spent two nights at Grace Manor and wish it could have been longer. Great room. breakfast and innkeepers. We highly recommend.

We stayed at Grace Manor Inn on a horribly hot weekend in Richmond. Although I was concerned about staying cool on the 3rd floor, we found that even though the temperature hit 102, we were comfortable at night with the fans and the A/C. Grace Manor Inn is a beautiful place, and the hospitality and the food could not have been better! I would recommend this wonderful inn to anyone.

After being on the road for ten days, and staying at some wonderful bed and breakfasts down South, we were bowled over by the Grace Manor Inn. This is a truly stunning turn of the 20th century home, impecably decorated with period pieces, homey and welcoming. Albert could not have been more hospitable --- and the breakfast was simply awesome!! (especially the surprise dessert - carrot cupcakes baked by Albert's wife Dawn, who just so happens to own a cupcake bakery in town). How lucky can you get!!!! Outstanding!!

What appeared to be an "ordinary" Victorian House on the outside turned out to be an incredible gem of an Inn. The house is vintage Victorian with every original detail intact. The rooms are large with sitting areas and all amenities. The Innkeepers, Albert and Dawn are extremely friendly and helpful. Dawn made a delicious gormet breakfast with an added treat- homemade carrotcake cupcakes! We highly recommend this wonderful B & B.

We came down for an event and our GPS unit said this was the closest spot next to where the event was held. Luckily there was one room open. What a Great place, its was Clean and Very well kept. Our hosts were polite and met our every need. The house is beautiful and our suite was one of the nicest I have stayed in. I would recommend this to anyone looking for some where to stay in the Richmond Area

Our visit was a great experience; the Grace Manor has everything you look for to stay in a charming B&B; classy, friendly, you do not feel like a guest but part of the family with your own privacy: the forniture is original, a lot of style, incredible breakfast; i would defenitely raccomand to anyone wants to visit Richmond, Mauro Tarallo, Roma, Italy

I was recently looking at some photos from our wonderful stay at Grace Manor Inn back in May 2009 and I realized that I never took time to write a review. We stayed from May 18, 2009 to May 22, 2009 and all I can say is that I did not want to leave. Albert and Dawn are your dream host and hostess. Each day we were served a different breakfast and each day Dawn surpassed the previous morning's feast. The rooms are beautiful. We felt so at home. The new pool had just opened and we enjoyed sitting by the pool relaxing and reading. We live in California so we may not get back there any time soon, but this is our favorite B&B to date. You will not be sorry if you stay there. We miss you, Dawn and Albert. Thanks for everything! Cathy & Tom

The house is beautiful and Dawn and Albert are outstanding hosts. They go out of their way to accomodate and make your stay as comfortable as possible. From the wine and cheese awaiting your arrival to the outstanding collection of restaurant menus and recommendations in the room, nothing is overlooked. The breakfast is exceptional; freshly prepared gourmet and the perfect start to the day. I can't wait for my next visit!

Our stay at the Grace Manor Inn could not have been any better. We stayed in the Shorrt Suite for two nights. The room was absolutely beautiful, and the sitting room was far larger than expected. The house was immaculate, and Albert and Dawn represent the epitome of class, hospitality, and warmth. Plus, the food alone was worth the price of admission, and the Yorkies only added to our enjoyment. We will not look for a place to stay in Richmond next time; we already know where we'll be. We highly recommend this B&B for anyone staying in Richmond.

Visiting family in Richmond during the big snow before Christmas. The accommodations and the precious darling puppies made us feel we were staying with family - but the food was better!! Dawn and Albert were as gracious as anyone could be, and we will be seeing them again!

To stay at the Grace Manor Inn is to be transported to a time of Southern hospitality in a gracious Richmond mansion with modern convenience and gourmet breakfast - what could be better?

I was in Richmond moderating a panel discussion and lucky to have been put up at Grace Manor. It was my first time at a B&B and I instantly fell in love. I'm not sure if Dawn and Albert knew, but I took many pictures of the interior so I could show my friends and family how beautiful it was! I have never had a better rainy night all to myself. Amazing food I honestly felt like a princess the next morning. I am looking to return some time in the fall with my boyfriend to enjoy the city. I'd recommend it to anyone!

Several of my family members stayed at the Grace Manor Inn for three days for something of a reunion and to meet my daughter's husband's family. We could not have had a better time. Albert and Dawn are wonderful hosts, as are the Yorkies! Pool was fabulous and I don't have enough superlatives to tell you about the breakfasts. Go there now - we will certainly be back.

My wife and I chose this B&B to stay in as we attended a wedding and reception nearby. What a nice gem in this part of the city. Easily accessible, private and with fantastic Innkeepers, Dawn & Albert. Their 3 terriers were adorable (Teddy was my favorite). We took walks in the morning through the historic region located one-block behind the Inn. The pool was absolutely wonderful to relax to with the nice waterfall feature. I'm typically a big breakfast guy but the gourmet breakfasts were plenty and very delicious. We stayed in the Shortt Suite which is the smaller of the rooms but was perfect for my wife and I. Nicely decorated and also includes a separate sink. It is on the third floor and with the afternoon heat it got stuffy but the evenings were very comfortable with the added fans. The bathroom is smaller as well and was the only thing that disapointed my wife. However, it definitely beat staying in a local hotel that would have cost more with less space. Overall, this is such a wonderful inn made especially pleasant by Dawn & Albert welcoming and friendly demeanor....as well as their dogs!

Our suite was fabulous! The breakfast was creative and delicious. Dawn and Albert, innkeepers, were welcoming, gracious, and accomodating.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the Inn. The service was above and beyond and Dawn and Al couldn't have been nicer. We would send all our friends. Brett Jones

Our stay at the Grace Manor Inn was a Christmas Gift from our daughter and son-in-law. We love to visit B&B places and have been to many. The Grace Manor has placed high on our list. The rooms were beautifully decorated. The music playing softly in our rooms when we arrived, along with wine and cheese, couldn't have been more relaxing. In fact, we put our feet up, sipped the wine and fell asleep for a short nap before venturing out for the evening. The hospitality and breakfast the next morning were superb.

We had the most fabulous stay at the Grace Manor Inn for our 5th anniversary. We have gone away every year for our anniversary and this year we decided to have an in town getaway. The Grace Manor Inn was the perfect way to celebrate. The new salt water pool was so relaxing, the room was fantastic and the hospitality was beyond compare. To top off the stay the gourmet breakfast Dawn prepared was unlike any other. It left us wishing we could stop by for breakfast every weekend. Our expectations were exceeded around every corner. Dawn and Albert truly have a gift! We will definitely be returning and have already recommended them to our friends and family!

What an experience! New to B & B experiences, but the Grace Manor Inn was perfect. Relaxing evening, resourceful in terms of navigating Richmond, delicious wine and cheese, divine breakfast with lively conversation, beautiful home, friendly innkeepers. WOW! Will have to go swimming next time...

My wife and my stay at the Grace Manor Inn was thoroughly enjoyable. Albert and Dawn were extra ordinarily thoughtful and considerate of their guest. My wife was delighted at the beauty of the inn’s ornate fixtures and furniture. The oversized bed with luxurious linens, bath with claw feet tub and a circular tub shower added a feel of opulence to our visit. The spaciousness and well furnished shared areas provide ample area to relax and enjoy the moment. The balcony and porch overlooking the back yard and pool area provided additional areas to sit and have conversations. The breakfasts were a highlight of our memories of the Grace Manor. The meals were colorful, served with a sense of flair by Albert and tasted GREAT. Dawn’s meals equal gourmet restaurant quality. If you are going to stay in a Bed and Breakfast in Richmond, you should not miss the opportunity to stay at the Grace Manor Inn.

Albert & Dawn went all out in their efforts to pamper my family and I the entire weekend we were here. The gourmet breakfast was to die for, and the presentation was fantastic. As my dad put it, "we felt like kings and queens here." It was my second time here, and my husband and I plan to be back next year!

Grace Manor Inn is a delightful experience. The accommodations are wonderful, the menu exquisite and the location most convenient. Most strongly recommended.

I have enjoyed many B and Bs in my 70 years, but none better than the show these Innkeepers put on. It is authentic and most pleasurable without being ostentatious. Very well done. Most highly recommended. The breakfast part was especially memorable.

A birthday getaway transported to a lusciously kept Victorian Inn complete with fireplace, exquisite dining (tailored to my needs including hot chocolate and soy milk), friendly and informative host and hostess, scallpoed latticed ceiling ornaments and off street parking. AND I am even typing this from their free computer so I can keep connected with bthe real world during our stay. A must!

The Grace Manor Inn is unquestionably the finest B&B that we have ever stayed in. The architecture, appointments and attention to detail are outstanding. The hosts are beyond gracious and the "three little pups" are absolutely adorable. We were pampered beyond our wildest expectations! The bed was heavenly, and the breakfasts were a gourmet's delight! We just could not have been any more pleased with our visit, and will look for every possible opportunity to stay there again! Deborah and JP Brehony

My fiancee and I stayed there last weekend and had a wonderful time. Albert and Dawn were so friendly and helpful. Their recommendations for dinner and things to do were very helpful. The room was beautiful and elegant. We will definitely stay again the next time we come through Richmond!

Last night my husband and I stayed at the Grace Manor Inn in Richmond, VA. We were celebrating our 42nd wedding anniversary. The stay there was absolutely wonderful. The Inn is an early 1900's house in the fan district in Richmond. The house and its furnishings are beautiful. We had a large bedroom and a sitting room. Much of the furniture is original, the chandeliers, the fireplaces, etc. The hospitality was great even from the three Yorkees who share a part of the house. The restaurant they recommended for dinner was equally good. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. We would highly recommend the Grace Manor Inn to anyone visiting Richmond, VA.

This was likely the nicest B&B we have ever visited. The innkeepers were gracious and helpful, the breakfasts were delicious, and the accommodations ample. The home itself is lovely and well-decorated. The attention to detail was obvious from the moment we arrived, and we appreciated the attention the innkeepers paid to our interests and small requests. If you are an older traveler, there are a couple of things to keep in mind when booking: some of the suites are up two flights of stairs, and some of the suites have private restrooms adjacent to them (so you have to step into the hall outside your suite to use the facilities). Also, some of the suites have walk-in showers, while others have clawfoot tubs (which can be a challenge for some). We had a wonderful time, and we greatly appreciated the innkeepers' hospitality and activity suggestions. Our only suggestion would be to provide a large sofa in all of the suites, to ensure guests can truly stretch out and relax at the end of a busy day. We will likely return in the future, and would recommend this B&B to others without hesitation.

We recommend the Grace Manor Inn to anyone who is visiting Richmond and wants a special experience combined with a little history. The suites are beautifully done and comfortably large, breakfast is outstanding, and the hosts are very helpful and friendly. The location in Richmond's Fan district serves as a perfect home base. Our friends who recommended this Inn to us have stayed here three times in the past two years. They are equally impressed. We honestly can't think of any suggestions for improvement--great as is. And we look forward to using the backyard pool that is about to be installed. We'll definitely stay here the next time our travels take us to Richmond. Wayne Shields and Andrew Velthaus, Washington, DC

We enjoyed two enormous and beautiful rooms plus. The carriage house apartment was very modern and tastefully decorated. More than enough room for the two of us and very private. My Mom stayed in the two room suite. She was blown away by the decor. We have stayed in many bed and breakfasts. This was the best breakfast we had. They could not have been more considerate. We will definitely return.

We visited our daughter in Richmond last weekend and stayed at the lovely Grace Manor Inn. Our rooms were spacious and comfortable...a complimentary bottle of wine and cheese plate were a nice touch. The breakfasts were truly outstanding. Parking is easy, the owners are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, the location is convenient and the house itself is beautiful. Highly recommended.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Grace Manor Inn. The house is beautiful. Our room and private bathroom were very nice. And the innkeepers very helpful. I would definitely stay there again.

We stayed at Grace Manor Inn at the tail end of a 3-day Labor Day weekend getaway, and it was definitely a lovely way to bookend our trip. Albert was the most gracious and fun host and an extremely knowledgeable resource for our sightseeing around Richmond. The location was perfect: minutes from Monument Boulevard and the best rib-joint in Virginia.

We had the most wonderful time! It was clean, charming, and the service unbelievable. The only way to see Richmond!

My husband and I enjoyed our getaway at Grace Manor Inn. We had a lot of space in our suite, and privacy (as the other suite on our floor was empty) Breakfast was excellent; the inn ownres were friendly and accommodating. Lots of books and Victorian bric-a-brac.

The grounds are delightful and inviting. The house is a Grand representation of Richmond circa 1905. It is so very elegant and welcoming. The kind attention of Dawn and Albert anticipated our every need while respecting our privacy. Each breakfast approached perfection. We enjoyed every moment visiting the Inn and look forward to returning next year.

We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing stay, as a couple, in Grace Manor, a beautifully furnished 3-story home in the Fan district. Our 3rd-story suite was a spotless, restful retreat. The home, still in its original elaborate condition, is so unique. Albert, our host, was so friendly - Dawn, his wife, prepared a delightful breakfast for us. First Rate!!

Relaxing, peaceful, historic, impeccable Manor Inn - Dawn & Albert dedicated talented incorporate artistry to genteel living.

Hosts were very helpful. Enjoyed our stay.

Can you imagine sleeping in a museum? This is the place to try it in. Although unlike a museum, you are accorded exceptional hospitality and you can sit on the furniture.

We loved everything about the Grace Manor Inn. It is located in historic Richmond, close to VCU where my son attends. The grounds are immaculate, the 1910 house has been impeccably restored to reflect that era, and it is gorgeous. We stayed over the old carriage house in a one bedroom apartment which is spacious and decorated in bright colors, modern furniture ... what I would call 21st century art deco with some historic touches. FUN! Dawn and Albert are the consummate hosts, and Dawn is an amazing chef whose breakfasts were always a delightful culinary adventure. We recommend the Grace Manor Inn as highly as is humanly possible. Go. Enjoy Richmond. Be pampered!

What a beautiful, historic bed & breakfast in the Fan district in Richmond. It is meticulously appointed with many of the original fixtures. Although it rained while we were there, the backyard and outdoor patios make for wonderful extended space. Dawn and Albert are gracious hosts, along with their three "boys", Bear, Cocoa and Teddy - 3 lively Yorkies. The best part of the stay, however, is Dawn's delicious gourmet breakfast. I give it five stars! I would definitely stay again.

The regret we had was that there was not enough time at the Grace Manor Inn. An elegant home, with experienced innkeepers, it was both charming and comfortable. We'll be looking for excuses to return to Richmond and the Inn.

If only our home could be this nice !! I had stayed in the Carriage House for quite a while during business trips to Richmond and could not wait to take my wife on a weekend getaway to Dawn and Albert's beautiful home. Even though I was used to their hospitality and professionalism as innkeepers I was again blown away by the breakfasts and attention to detail. As usual all their recommendations for restaurants and places to visit were right on! A place to return to and recommend to anyone who wants that extra special feel of being "pampered". I wish we could do this more often.

I stayed at the Grace Manor Inn for one night while on business. They had an affordable corporate rate, which made it possible to have a "home-away-from-home" type stay instead of the usual cookie cutter hotel stay. The inn-keepers are warm, friendly people and the Inn is architecturally very interesting. Dawn's breakfast was a delcious treat! Give it a try!

Incredible service, food & ambiance. Great people with wonderful attention to detail. Highly recommended!

The Grace Manor Inn is beautifully decorated with period pieces and the 2-room suites are large and comfortable. The inn has all of the amenities that you would expect, but the ambience of an earlier time. The gourmet breakfasts were a special treat.

A Great Bed and Breakfast in a very historic area, a great area to walk walk around to see other beautiful houses as well Great Hospitality, food and a truely beautiful house in excellent conmdition. A nice place to rest and plenty of outside areas to enjoy. A true B&B we highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay at Grace Manor Inn. The suite was beautiful and the breakfast was amazing!

Everything was great. The carriage house is a perfect place for privacy and to actually have your own apartment while on vacation, with full kitchen and dining area.

Although we live less than two hours away, we had never been to Richmond and didn't know what to expect. We spent two nights at the Grace Manor Inn and couldn't have been more pleased. We stayed in the Fensterer-Davis Suite. We have been to a lot of B&Bs but this place is special. The two-room suite was spacious (good value for the money) and very nicely decorated. It also had an in-room fridge and microwave. The suite included private access to the front balcony overlooking a residential street in the historic neighborhood and shared access to the back balcony overlooking the garden. The only downside was that the private bath was not connected to the suite -- it was a few steps down the hall. The downstairs rooms were incredible -- restored with some very nice touches -- and the gourmet breakfast was great. Albert and Dawn made us feel very welcome. The inn is right in the middle of the Monument Avenue district with its wonderful early 20th century homes and within walking distance of several nice restaurants. We also loved Richmond. There is lots to see --history, architecture, parks -- and we got the feeling that you can enjoy the benefits of city living there without having to endure the crush of people and cars typical of urban areas. We'll definitely return, both to Richmond and to the Grace Manor. Bill & Mary

Lovely room, very generous amount of space. Clean and friendly attention to smallest detail.

We spent a weekend at Grace Manor in August - it truly has a manor feel, with all the associated luxuries. The rooms were wonderfully finished, the bed was so comfortable, and the decor seemed plucked from a bygone age. Dawn and Albert (and the dogs!) made us very welcome, and treated us to sumptious breakfasts both mornings of our stay. The finishing touches, both inside and outside, make this house very special. Parking appears secure behind the house, although is somewhat limited. We would recommend this house for anyone seeking a relaxing, hustle-free break in Richmond.

Our stay at the Grace Manor Inn was an absolute pleasure. The beauty and charm of the Inn is only surpassed by the special treatment given to each guest by Albert and Dawn. Our civil War guide Mr. Dick Mercer was outstanding. We will return!

The Inn is beautifully decorated, comfortable and welcoming. The Innkeeper is very friendly and goes out of his way to offer help and outstanding service. Breakfast the next morning is served like in a five star restaurant. All in all a good value and wonderful experience. We'd come again.

Recently stayed at the Grace Manor Inn and could not have been more pleased. The location of this beautiful house was perfectly situated. The Innkeepers, Dawn and Albert were the perfect hosts and every little imaginable detail was provided. The breakfasts are absolutly amazing. Without a doubt will come back to stay here. Make sure you go to Eddo's for dinner.

A perfectly appointed mansion in the elegant style of that era in Richmond. The accomodations were luxurious, comfortable and cozy. The inn keepers were delightfully charming and just appeared whenever there was a need. After a very long trip, wine, cheese, coffee or tea and candy provided in our plush sitting room was just what we needed to unwind. We mulled over a very complete book of varied dining places with menus and precise directions but the personal evaluations by Albert were most helpful. Breakfast was a culinary delight to start our day. We certainly would return and stay longer to explore the area.

I've stayed in B&B's all over the US and several in Canada. Grace Manor Inn in Richmond is right up there with the very best. The owners strive to meet your every need and wish. The inn itself is charming, elegant and comfortable. The breakfasts are delicious! I hope to return many times.

My husband and I rarely get to get away for long, so when we do, we want the best of the best. Our two-night stay at the Grace Manor Inn recently exceeded all of our expectations. Hospitality comes naturally to innkeepers Dawn and Albert Schik. We were greeted each morning with a special, scrumptious breakfast whipped up by the talented Dawn as Albert shared funny stories of his experiences as an inkeeper. The couple was friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. They recommended some terrific restaurants in the area and both of our dinners were fantastic. They even arranged a wine tour of some nearby Charlottesville vineyards for us, complete with driver to take us from place to place. The rooms were clean, neat and well-appointed, as was the entire home. We'd highly recommend the Grace Manor Inn to anyone looking to get away, even if only for a day or two, from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
