    We stayed at this fabulous Inn on our honeymoon and have been back every year since on our anniversary. We can't say enough about the great staff and service we received, even in the middle of February! We stay in the same room each year and look forward to it immensly. The room was very clean and we felt right at home. Breakfast is always fantastic as well, Love this place! Chester & Alison

    My husband and I have stayed here twice before on our anniversary. I was blown away by the atmosphere. It is truly a retreat and as beautiful as it is online. We will continue to come back.

    Stayed 2 nights in room 10. Actually our 2nd stay at the Inn and in room 10. Loved everything about First Colony from the courteous staff to the clean equiped rooms. Quiet and quaint but close to all attractions. Keith and Julie - Gloucester, Va.
