    Our 32nd Anniversary

    May 01, 2013

    We were celebrating our anniversary and Bruce and Carol made our trip very memorable. Carol's cooking is to die for.... and her attention to detail makes every meal perfection! They made feel very comfortable and welcome in their home. They gave us all the neat little places to see in the area plus the great dining opportunities.... We had a wonderful and look forward to return again very soon... Brian and Judy Neeld Virginia Beach, Va.

    Fantastic B&B!

    November 01, 2012

    This was probably the very best B&B that my wife and I have ever visted. Great room, and Carol and Bob are two of the nicest people I have met. A great experience!

    Great Anniversary Weekend

    October 30, 2012

    My husband surprised me with a three-day anniversary weekend at the Cape Charles House B&B--and what a wonderful weekend it was, in spite of the outskirting rain from Hurricane Sandy! We place this B&B at the top for hospitality, food, the endless bottle of wine and homemade Boursin cheese and crackers every afternoon. Our hosts invited us into their kitchen to watch the news while they busily prepared our breakfast--so warm and homey. Definitely a return visit is coming--there is too much to see and do in just an oh-too-short weekend!

    Best B&B

    October 09, 2012

    This was the best B&B ever in terms of Food, Cleanliness, Quiet, solitude, friendliness but not overbearing staff. Plus, it is on the Eastern Shore.

    Lovely Weekend

    October 09, 2012

    We stayed at Cape Charles House to celebrate a birthday. Bruce and Carol are the most warm and charming hosts. We had a superb weekend....just wish we could have stayed a little longer. Oh and the breakfast was a decadent, delicious affair!
