    I visited The Moss House recently while in Washington for business travel and thought that it would be nice to stay at a B&B rather than a stuffy hotel. I was right, of course, choosing The Moss House was a great idea! Becky, one of the owners was gracious and welcoming to me from the start, along with their dog, Bella. Becky helped me to my room, The Estuary, and gave me recommendations for dinner. I had a lot of work to do and their wifi worked beautifully! That is always a fear of mine, especially when staying in hotels, sometimes their wifi works and sometimes it doesn't. The room was roomy, with a private bath, including anything I may need from toiletries to a sound machine in case I need that sort of thing for sleeping. The area of Washington, and almost all of Washington, is peaceful and quiet so it made for a wonderful night's sleep. The Moss House is a block from the river so it is walking distance to everything, including little boutiques and restarurants. For breakfast, Becky offered to accomodate my time since I was heading out for business meetings. She had coffee ready for me and breakfast started with a fruit bowl that was literally, the best fruit bowl I have ever had!! It was fresh,tangy, and oh so yummy! Next, was pumpkin spice bread, orange juice, and then came the omelette with toast. I was so full when I left that morning that I wasn't even ready for lunch when midday came. Before I left, I booked more of my future stays with Becky and am looking forward to continuing my relationship with this house while working in the area. I'm also looking forward to bringing the hubs down for an early start to the beach season!

    We have stayed here several times. The innkeepers are very gracious and willing to partake in friendly conversations but are unobtrusive. They have forgotten nothing in providing whatever is needed to make our stay comfortable and relaxing, including a white noise machine (it is a quiet area, but some like the white noise anyway)and bathrobes. The breakfasts are always delicious, the beds very comfortable, and rooms tastefully decorated. Various drinks are available just outside the rooms along with abundant reading material of various types. We have met many wonderful guests at the dining table, of all ages and backgrounds. Staying there has always been an exceedingly possitive experience.

    Wonderful accommodations!

    The Moss House is charming. The hostess, Becky, was very accommodating about my quirky eating requirements and prepared delicious and nutritious breakfasts while I was there. The coffee is also really good - strong, but smooth and flavorful. Another plus - Becky makes an effort to be "green" - for example, recycling is available and she uses biodergadable trash bags.

    Great weekend with the kids in Washington!!

    We love the Moss House!! We have stayed there many times and we are always happy with the inn, the wonderful breakfasts, and the friendliness of Becky and Scott. Our son and his wife were with us this weekend and they loved it. Look forward to our next visit.

    LOVE THE MOSS HOUSE!!!

    I love staying at The Moss House when I come to Little Washington! Becky and Scott are the greatest innkeepers, and breakfasts are delicious!! The location is perfect, being within walking distance to downtown and the waterfront. I always like to walk along the waterfront when I stay there. I highly recommend this B&B!!
