Colonial Houses were well-located in the midst of Colonial Williamsburg, walkable despite the extreme heat. The Inn was lovely but we booked a colonial house through Expedia; the people we travelled with also booked a house directly through the Inn and were assigned a house 3x the size of ours at 50% less. We mentioned this to people we met who visit there annually and they said to never book through a third party for Colonial Houses - to get the best deal and better accommodations, book direct…an expensive lesson learned. The houses are comfortable but, as you might expect, dated. Overall, we had a nice stay but felt that value for the money we paid through Expedia was poor.

Colonial houses are an opportunity to stay right in the midst of historic Williamsburg . The location could not be any more convenient. We stayed at Brick House Tavern on the second floor. The bed was comfortable and the room nicely decorated. However the rooms were last updated about 30-40 years ago estimating by the fixtures, etc. The rooms rates are reasonable based on location but are not reasonable based on the out of date locks (old fashioned brass keys) , bathroom plumbing and scarcity of electric outlets . An upgrade is needed. The room was very clean and bed comfortable so the basics were there. With taxes and fees we paid just over $200 nightly . At that level an upgrade is appropriate.

Anniversary Trip

This was my wife and myself 6th trip to Williamsburg. Previous 5 trips were with family and stayed at one the resorts outside of the park. This trip was just the two of us and stayed in the Chiswell-Bucktrout. Nicely modernized with a comfy queen bed/private bath with the ambience of an earlier time. Loved our stay.

The colonial cottage is a great place to stay when visiting Williamsburg. It gives visitors a feel for living in the community as it might’ve been years ago. Perfect for families or larger groups. Fully equipped kitchen makes dining in an option. Would stay here again.

Staying in a cottage within Colonial Williamsburg was a nice alternative to a regular hotel room and we appreciated having the extra space, peace, and fireplace. Check in was frustrating, however, when they put us in a Tavern Room instead of the house we reserved. When I called the front desk to inform them of the mistake, the woman tried to tell me they were all booked up and if we didn't want the Tavern Room she could try to find something else but would charge us extra. Obviously, this was unacceptable and thankfully I had the confirmation email showing that we booked and paid for a house with bed, sofa, and fireplace. Suddenly the tone changed and another woman at the check in counter miraculously found the house we were supposed to have. Getting to the location proved annoying since nothing is labeled. We had to wander around the area trying to find the house that met the description given to us, and instead of there being 'plenty of parking' for our two vehicles, there was only on parking spot for our house. After finally getting all that settled, the rest of the stay was very nice and we enjoyed being able to walk through Colonial Williamsburg to get to dinner, enjoy the Farmer's Market, and sit outside on the patio and get to know our sheep neighbors. The house itself was clean, comfortable, and everything we wanted when we originally made the reservation. The check in process makes us not want to book here again, but essentially the stay was nice.
