Brierley Hill B&B

Stayed at Brierley Hill on our way home from a rather active family vacation at the beach in Hilton Head. What a quiet, serene, relaxing transition to the our status quo of home and work. Five star all around...especially the sunrise!

The B&B is spacious, beautifully decorated, and well maintained. It is clean and the host and hostess were prepared to meet our every need. The food was delicious. We had nice weather while there with a great view of the Shenandoah Valley from the room was great. The location is just outside Lexington with all its historic attractions.

The breakfasts were 5 star even a dessert. The views were beautiful,and David and Karen were warm and caring. Alllan and Shirley Creager

I wanted to do something special for my wife for her birthday. As our son is 6 months, we have not had a trip to ourselves. I researched some bed and breakfast and came across Brierley Hill B&B. Upon reading reviews on trip advisor, I was assured that this would be a great location. In fact, it was perfect! I contacted Dave because I wanted to do a special dinner for my wife that Sunday night. Dave was very responsive and helpful in setting it up. The dinner was for an additional fee, but it was worth it. Dave and his wife Karen prepared a delicious 3 course meal that was prepared better than any 4 or 5 star restaurant . I had rented the Good Friends suite, which has its own private patio, so we had a private dinner set there. The view was just remarkable for our dinner. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and ideal for anyone who wanted a private patio to be included to step outside. There was a separate living area to the Good Friend's suite, which was nice because after dinner my wife and I went to the other room with the fireplace to just sit, talk, and enjoy some quiet reading. Dave and Karen really do go out of their way to make sure you have a great stay. Although they just recently purchased this property (about 2 or so months), they run the place as if they have had it for years. All in all they are great people whose mission it is that you enjoy your stay. I wish them much success, and my wife and I will be looking forward to visiting for a much longer stay. Thanks Dave and Karen! --Ramin and Asia Mohammad

Dave & Karen are the sweetest couple! We loved getting to know them. Breakfast was delicious!! Still think about the waffles & bacon:) So good!! My daughter still talks about the homemade chocolate cookies which they sent extras home with us:) Highly recommend this B&B. K.Barber Danville, Va

My husband and I stayed at this bed and breakfast for one weekend recently. We needed a little getaway from city life, and we found it here. When we were first driving to the B&B, we had a little difficulty finding it, because our GPS had us stop driving two blocks away, but we finally just kept going until we found the building. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the friendly owners and shown to our room. At first I thought that the room was little, but then were were shown the other half! In addition to the bedroom, we had a living room. The views from our rooms were very beautiful--a span of many rolling hills. We soaked in the views from our own private patios as well as from the large, common-area lawn. The owners have two large dogs, and although I am a cat person rather than dog person, I ended up enjoying having the dogs around a little bit. The owners were sociable without being intrusive. They were within reach if we needed assistance with our room or advice on activities in the area. I had to knock one star off the Dining category (from "Outstanding" to a still very high "Exceeded my expectations") because my husband thought that the breakfast was good rather than great. Breakfast included some dishes that we had never previously tasted, and I, in contrast to my husband, enjoyed them all. Overall, I would highly recommend that other people visit this bed and breakfast for an experience that is relaxing and provides excellent customer service.

Had a wonderful relaxing stay. The room was beautiful and the view of the Blue Ridge Mountains is amazing. Dave and Karen are terrific innkeepers!

We loved this quiet picturesque area; what a breathtaking view. The trees were flowering and the birds were chirping. Breakfasts were outstanding. Dave and Karen were such a delight and loved to show off their new venture. We shared their first hummingbird . . . a real treat! Also close to Lexington, a place filled with history!

We had a fantastic time, Dave and Karen were so helpful. The bedrooms were beautiful, breakfasts were super and the scenery out of this world. Would highly recommend it and would definitely stay here again.

Loved the hospitality, food was excellent and the views were spectacular!

I would strongly recommend staying at Brierley Hill B&B. We stayed in the Peace Room and the view was amazing. You saw the beautiful mtns. and at dusk the deer were grazing right there in front of you as you drove down the long winding driveway as you went to dinner. My husband was not happy with the showerhead in the shower and mentioned it to Ken. By that evening the showerhead was changed to a wonderful pulsating one. You can't ask for better service than that. We were also introduced to soup at breakfast. At first I was a little leary. But after tasting the wonderful soup, which was more like a smoothie, it was a nice change from the same old routine breakfast fruit. If we are down in the Lexington area again, we will definitely stay here again. Thank you Ken, Joyce & Diana for a wonderful 2 days.

Truly relaxed and enjoyed our overnight stay at this charming B&B. Spectacular setting and vista, lovely home and rooms, delightful hosts, and marvelous breakfast. Will certainly return!

We travelled from the UK to the Virginia area and stayed at this beautiful B&B perched on a hill with spectacular views. Great breakfasts served on the porch with fantastic views of the mountains and if as lucky as we were watching the deer roaming the grounds. Wonderful rooms with many amenities. Owners very helpful. Had an excellent stay and if ever return to this part of the USA would not hesitate in booking this establishment. Eric & Susan England

We so enjoyed our stay at lovely Brierly Hill. The view is gorgeous, breakfast delicious, with a marvelous sense of creative and well-executed cuisine. Brierly Hill has all the amenities that make staying in a B&B comfortable--those that so often are lacking at other venues. Joyce and Ken are welcoming and warm, yet professional--one feels like a welcome guest, but not at all intruded-upon. We will choose and recommend Brierly Hill to friends whenever Lexington is on the itinerary.

Hilltop setting provided wonderful vistas. What seemed to be a rural location, was less than a five-minute drive from downtown Lexington, VA. Uncommonly expansive juice selection at breakfast; nice array of snacks/beverages and movies available in public rooms. Innkeepers and staff were pleasant and helpful. Daisy the dog was charming. Inn is well designed and beautifully decorated.

Admittedly, we don't get away as much as we'd like. But if the Brierley Hill B&B is any indication of what "getting away" means, that will have to change. The Lexington, VA area is idyllic and full of history to begin with, and this wonderful facility is at the top of a hill overlooking much of the beauty. Ken and Joyce are personable and joyous hosts, and we're so glad they decided to change careers and come here to give strangers like us a taste of the good life. The last time we enjoyed a breakfast as good as what they serve was...well, never. We came home and immediately looked for another open slot when we could return later this year. They spoiled us in a single weekend! We've always heard the "other half" lives better, and now we know one place where they do--Brierley Hill.

Everything was outstanding; the service, dining, rooms, amenities, and the lovely views. For the same price, I could have stayed at a hotel right off the interstate and had a free breakfast, but the value and quality of the experience at Brierley Hill far exceeds the hum-drum hotel chain experience! Thank you, Ken & Joyce.

We arrived a little late on a Friday night but was welcomed with open arms. Ken and Joyce made our stay a delight. We had a quaint suite located downstairs in the main house. This afforded us privacy and a nice view of the mountains. We enjoyed the wonderful breakfasts, the conversation and had a nice decompression from life's trials.

It was a quick night but very restful and relaxing. We met a nice couple from NJ also down while their son was in a camp at W&L. Enjoyed a great movie from the extensive video library, had a gourmet breakfast on the front porch overlooking a breath taking view of the mountains. What a pleasant stay! Ken does take your photo for you to leave with, very personable touch!

This is my all time favorite B&B. No it isn't historic but it is drop dead gorgeous. The breakfast is fabulous and as a parting gift Ken will take your picture on the deck with the stunning mountain scenery behind you... what's not to love. Luscious bedding, a dvd library, computer, coffee and tea available 24/7 and homemade fudge. I fell in love within minutes and a year and a half later I still love it.
