    Kilmarnock Inn is a 16 room inn comprised of a main house, built circa 1884, and 7 cottages designed to replicate the facades of Virginia President's homes. Before being purchased to renovate into the inn, the Wilson, the main house,had remained in ownership of just one family. Now, The Wilson features an inviting foyer with a beautifully crafted banister and staircase. The first floor serves as the welcoming area for our guests. A dinning room, parlor, sitting room, study/computer room, and fully equipped kitchen and bar adjacent to the front desk are open to you as you arrive, and anytime during your stay. The Washington, Jefferson, Madison (our honeymoon cottage), Monroe, Harrison, Taylor, and Tyler Cottages each has its own bathroom and offers varied amenities from decks overlooking the courtyard to fireplaces and jacuzzis. The Main Parlor and Dinning Room in the Wilson House, The Gathering Room in the Jefferson Cottage, and the beautifully landscaped courtyard are each inviting and welcoming stages for any event, large or small, elegant or simple. Our Special Events Create Special Memories.

    Anniversary Getaway

    February 03, 2012

    This was our first time at a Bed & Breakfast and we were going to only stay one night (because two nights would have been out of our budget), but they had a special and if you stayed one night you got the second night free, so that was a wonderful surprise when we made the reservation. We stayed at the Madison Honeymoon Suite and it was very quiet and relaxing and that is exactly what we wanted and needed. The breakfast was the best we have ever had. The food and atmosphere were wonderful! The only thing that disappointed us was we were not told the restaurant at the Inn was not open for Sunday dinner and neither were any other restaurants on Main Street. We wanted a nice dinner and ended up with Chinese food (which was good, but not when a nice steak dinner is what you want). But overall it was a nice, relaxing time and we enjoyed it. I definitely enjoyed and recommend the Bed & Breakfast experience over any hotel stay.

    Great Stay

    December 01, 2011

    The owners offered discounted rates for veterans over the Veterans Day holiday. I was truly impressed by their generosity and kindness during our stay. The Inn is a great place and Kilmarnock is a hidden gem on the Northern Neck. The food was delicious, the service great and the stay was very relaxing.

    Fabulous stay at The Kilmarnock Inn

    September 18, 2011

    It was a last minute decision to switch from a nearby dump to something we could be confident didn't have bedbugs, but what a great decision it was for our little group of 3 couples. It was a fabulous weekend that was enhanced big time by that change. This place is fabulous. The owners are hands-on owners that are charming and obviously well suited for their profession as inn owners. The inn and its various presidential "cottages" are meticulously appointed, very clean, and address every need you might have. I saw 3 of the "cottages" and all were lovely. The breakfast buffet was wonderful and the service attentive and professional from the young lady who checked on us at appropriate intervals. At breakfast we all discussed what excuse we could find to come again. We will return! Kathy

    Best place to stay in Kilmarnock.

    December 28, 2009

    We recently went to Kilmarnock to visit family. Regrettably, their home is too small to accommodate guests. Since my mother was travelling with us, we decided to get a suite at the Kilmarnock Inn over two rooms / share a standard room at another hotel. Unlike some hotels, the suites at the Kilmarnock Inn are actual suites, with a bedroom that has a door. We stayed in the Martha suite, and it was quite roomy, very comfortable, and quiet. There was some road noise, but no noise from other Inn guests. The set-up is quaint, and the courtyard I can imagine is quite lovely when it isn't the dead of winter :-) The breakfast is included with the room, which adds to the value, and it is a GOOD breakfast served with a smile. The only marks I can give against it are the daily housekeeping and the sheets. Here are the disclaimers: my husband and I are VERY neat people who keep even our hotel rooms tidy. The housekeeping did come daily, but all they did was switch out the towels and empty the trash. This is sufficient, but falls short of stellar. We straighten our beds each morning, but they did not remake them. They also left the dirty mugs from in-room coffee in the room and didn't restock the coffee basket. No matter since the coffee in the restaurant is much better, but worth note. Disclaimer on the sheets is that I like crisp sheets, and these were soft sheets. Actually quite nice, but not to my liking. The bath linens were very nice. I will stay only at the Kilmarnock Inn when visiting my brother an family from now on, and highly recommend it to others.
