Cedars of Williamsburg Bed & Breakfast


  • Inn Details

    Voted by our guests as 2007-08-09 top 5 Mid-Atlantic and 2005-06 top 10 Best Southern B&B's, the award-winning Cedars of Williamsburg Bed & Breakfast is Williamsburg's most romantic and charming bed & breakfast. Since 1935, the smoke/pet-free Cedars entertains 5,000 guests annually. The largest B&B in Williamsburg, the Cedars offers 8 rooms in the main house and a wonderful 2 room cottage with fireplace. Less than a 10 minute walk to historic Williamsburg, and across the street from the College of William & Mary, The Cedars has been offering traditional colonial elegance, comfort and hospitality to its guests since 1935. Originally built by a doctor in the early 1930's to house his 7 children who would be attending the College of William and Mary, this 3-story brick Georgian home will set the tone for your visit to the 18th century. 200 year old brick from an old plantation house and the skilled workmanship of the historic Williamsburg restoration craftsmen have created an authentic colonial elegance to immerse you in the colonial ambiance of Williamsburg.

    We stayed here for our anniversary and have to say it was one of the best weekends away we have had. We enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, comfort of the pristine colonial rooms, and the delicious homemade breakfast in the morning. The only down side to our trip was that we couldn't stay another night! This was our first bed and breakfast experience and we are hooked now! This one is a gem!! Nothing bad to say about it! It's near everything in Williamsburg you would want to see too! We're definitely going to make it a point to go back sometime!

    Stayed there for our wedding anniversary. When we return to Williamsburg, we won't consider staying anywhere else but The Cedars. The room was possitivly charming and impeccably clean. The location was excellent--close or convenient to everything. The host, staff, and service were the best part of the stay.


    The perfect place for our 30th wedding anniversary!

    Bob and his staff made our stay absolutely wonderful.This cozy place is immaculate.The breakfasts are excellent and we were treated like king and queen by Bob and all of his staff. This beautiful old home is filled with gorgeous antiques and the decor is splendid. It was the most relaxing place we have ever stayed in. Everyone was very helpful in providing us with shopping and site-seeing recommendations including directions. Our stay was quiet, private and extremely accommodating. I would recommend this B&B to anyone who wants to be treated like you are the most important person of the day, everyday you are vacationing. We can't wait to return!

    You'll not find a more beautiful home or more gracious hosts anywhere...... From the time we arrived until the time we said our good-bye's, we were treated to a B&B experience that we'll remember for the rest of our lives. The grounds are beautiful, the rooms are spacious and immaculately maintained, the beds are VERY comfortable, the breakfast nook lures you in with wonderful smells, and the gazebo in the back of the property is GREAT for impromptu romantic get-aways with a good bottle of wine and some tasty local cuisine.
