We have been staying at Claiborne House for the past 3 years when we travel to Ferrum College where our daughter is a Junior. We have stayed in 3 different rooms and just last weekend stayed in the Washroom when we came up for Parent's Weekend at Ferrum College. We loved it so much we will always book it when... more

Thank you so much! We love catching up and seeing your family on each visit. You are always so positive and full of life, every breakfast table with different guests is always filled with laughter and good times with The Smiths present! God bless, Shellie (PS we didn't really stick you in the washroom though, it was the Wash House...

I found this B&B while searching online. My husband and I wanted to do something simple to celebrate our 20th anniversary. Shellie set us up with one of the romance packages offered through the inn. Upon arrival Shellie made us feel right at home. Our room of choice was the Wash House Cottage and the pictures do not do it... more

I could not have asked for a more restful and beautiful spot to relax than the Claiborne House. I traveled to VA to meet up with friends for a few days and decompress from my business. The B&B sits on a lovely small hill on a tree lined historic residential street overlooking the charming town of Rocky Mount. The huge... more

You are too kind! Btw you are an official member of Professional Porch Sitter Union 1895. Remember to become a member you simply need to say you are a member and agree to sit around with friends and neighbors shooting the breeze as often as possible or practical. God bless and we look forward to seeing you again, Shellie

I took my mom to the Clairborne house for her birthday and we had a very special time together. Upon arriving, we found a special birthday card for mom and complimentary chocolates. A beautiful strawberry cake was in the dining room. She felt honored. The room was clean and the family was helpful. During breakfast we were blessed with special... more

Thank you for the nice review. You were lovely guests. We thoroughly enjoyed you both, you have a great Mom and YOU are a great daughter. Coincidentally my sister and nieces are here from your neck of the woods as I type this bragging about Dungeness crab. God bless, Shellie

We spent three nights at the Claiborne House and it was an excellent choice. We used it as our vacation base and its location put us in easy reach of everything we wanted to see. We sat next to their pond and watched the goldfish, read in the evenings sitting on the porch, and relaxed in the sitting parlor. Our... more

You guys rock! Tony is so pleased when guests relax by the ponds, I cannot tell you thanks enough. Your family history conversation is melded into my guest memory bank. Did I forget to mention that? Innkeepers collect guest memories and stories (like the books you enjoy) it is fun for us to recall all the fantastic guests we have...

Claiborne House Bed and Breakfast totally delighted us. We enjoyed the privacy and quiet of the charming Wash Room Cottage. In the evenings we hung out by the pond. Tony and Shellie have thoughtfully lighted the whole area with lanterns. What a pleasure to be able to relax outside after returning for the evening. They provide delicious and varied breakfasts... more

Thank you for the kind words and the photos. You are very special guests and everyone enjoyed meeting you! You brought a spark to the B&B. I hope you are both over your saddle soreness by now...I know it took me about a week! That is the only problem with horseback riding that I can find...ouch! God Bless, Shellie

My sister, brother and I needed a convenient, comfortable and relaxing place for our families to stay during a recent trip to Franklin County. The Claiborne House fit the bill on all counts and exceeded our expectations. The rooms were comfortable and well appointed with interesting antiques throughout. The breakfasts were filling and delicious. The Claiborne House was just what... more

On my way through Virginia, I wanted to stay at a place with some history and charm, not a cookie-cutter hotel where I may or may not feel safe, since I was traveling alone. The Claiborne House was lovely and surpassed what I was expecting, and I felt perfectly safe there. I was not able to arrive by the 7pm... more

A lovely review, thank you so much! I hope the photo turned out well and wish you could come back and take the same photo under the sugar maple when it is a brilliant orange end of October. The view from your room of that fiery orange tree is breathtaking! God bless, and thank you for what you do! You...
