    We stayed at Briar Patch because of a Living Social deal but will go back because of the wonderful rooms, great food, and wonderful people. The owner booked our dinner reservations for us and recommended the most wonderful places to eat. The room was very clean and we felt right at home! Such a wonderful place to stay if you are ever in Middleburg!

    OK so we are not experienced B&B people - our first time actually. I have read the more negative reviews and would like to say that we had NONE of the problems reported by them. Being that we are first timers maybe our expectations were a bit less expectant....but I feel extremely happy with the accomodations, service, and atmosphere. We were greeted very warmly and the staff was always helpful, There was access to all the things we needed at all times, and the Cottage which holds a huge amount of charm and whimsy was PERFECT for us! I can not speak to the hot tub or pool as we were there in December, and did not utilize them. Pet friendly really was one of the things that sold me on this destination - though we did not bring our dog I was happy to see a place that was welcoming of the idea of animals. I would like to say that I found the cats to be a welcome and fitting addition to the property. They were friendly and added a homey feel to our stay. I am confused by those persons that might be offended by them when seeking to stay in a rustic, beautiful country setting....If you are not into nature and the things found there, maybe you should stay at the Hilton. LOVE LOVE LOVED our time at the Briar Patch and hope to spend future anniversaries there.

    Very Disappointing Experience at the Briar Patch

    Our stay at the Briar Patch was very disappointing, in every sense of the word. We had high expectations of this B&B. That all faded when we noticed the entire cottage was infested with bugs, specifically, stink bugs. They were crawling on all surfaces of the cottage, including the bed, our pillows and into our luggage. In case you aren't familiar with these fine critters, they let out a very potent odor if they feel threatened. Needless to say, simply walking to the bathroom could set one of these suckers off and it would smell out the entire place. Multiply that by 100!! When presenting this to the manager, since the owners were on vacation, no actions were taken. We were told, "this is what you get for being in the country." Out of respect to the other guests we were discrete while trying to resolve this matter. We were told that the owners would contact us after arriving back form their vacation. As a lot of money was spent on this highly anticipated trip, we simply wanted to clear the air about our experience. However, the owners never contacted us after being back form vacation for several days. I had to take action and reach out to them directly. I was immediately greeted from a very unfriendly and disgruntled owner. He was very rude and in no way handled the situation with respect or maturity. Instead of "the customer comes first," philosophy he treated this as "I'm right and you are completely in the wrong for complaining about your experience." He then had the nerve to belittle me with such comments as, "you should invent a pesticide for stink bugs," "would you be complaining to me if these were lady bugs?" "you should really think about whether you deserve a refund or not and call ME back in a few days." And just when you thought it couldn't get any worse he proceeded to HANG UP on me mid-conversation. Needless to say, we will NEVER return to the Briar Patch. It's very unfortunate because Middleburg is simply beautiful!

    Beautiful, comfortable & historic

    Beautifully maintained & decorated in a style consistent with it's history (not too modernized). Perfect if you enjoy a historic experience. Notebook in the room describing the history of the house as well as the area, and a journal for guests to write comments/musings. I had the Rose Room which is probably the largest and favorite. My friend stayed in the Sunflower room next door and we shared a bathroom (had a clawfoot tub!). The whole "suite" could be closed off from the rest of the house by closing a door to the hallway so felt very private. We were upstairs in the front of the house with amazing views. 4 other bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs (vacant during our stay), plus 2 bedrooms downstairs at opposite ends with private baths & entrances, and a cottage outside. There is a huge event building on the property for weddings etc. and the beautiful grounds and ability to house the wedding party/family in the house & cottage make this ideal for that or to rent out for a whole family for holidays or reunions. Kitchen was well stocked. Guests encouraged to help themselves to snacks/drinks. A full breakfast was prepared in the mornings and pastries, cereals, coffee, tea etc. is always available. There is a pool & hot tub on the property, acres of land with horses, a beautiful porch, and several outdoor seating areas (although the weather wasn't conducive to utilizing these during our stay). There are 4 wineries in the nearest town, and dozens of others less than an hour away. We arrived on a Tues, many of the wineries were closed, but we managed to find at least 6 to visit during out stay. Middleburg is lovely with beautiful brick buildings & shops. We enjoyed local fare at several restaurants including the Red Fox Inn. I loved the B&B and the area and plan to go back. Probably my favorite B&B to date.

    Lovely

    I stayed at the Briar Patch for two nights - one the night before my wedding in Middleburg and the second was on my wedding night. I stayed in the cottage and was so impressed - it is a beautiful, roomy and comfortable accomodation. There was plenty of space for everyone to get ready the day of the the wedding and we were able to enjoy a wonderful breakfast the day of. I will definitely be returning for a future visit - maybe for our first anniversary!
