My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend at the Chester while in town to visit our son at UVA. This is such a wonderful bed & breakfast with welcoming hosts, beautiful rooms and a delicious breakfast. We will be returning for graduation weekend with the rest of thr family and are looking forward to planning a special dinner with... More

and we will whenever we are nearby. Jean and Craig Stratton are among the most charming and welcoming people we have ever met. They are almost the best reason for staying there. But then there was also our luxurious four-poster bed with its snuggly down comforter and our wood-burning fireplace (two of my favorite things). And then there was our... More

Delightful antebellum spacious residence with five units, very clean, elegantly appointed, each with private bath, near UVA, Monticello, furniture outlets in Farmville, laid back and very friendly staff/proprietors. We've made a point of making a weekend stay for at least 15 years, at least once or twice a year. I enjoy a round of golf or two in spring, summer... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at Chester over the holidays and had an excellent time. We arrived at the B&B and were greeted by Jean and Craig Stratton and their family dogs Suzy and Lucy. We were shown to our incredible room with our own bathroom and fireplace (in every room). Since we arrived kind of late we went straight... More

So, when my daughter decided to have a private wedding, not in Atlanta, nor Philly, nor Baltimore, but convenient to all family; there was only one choice. We knew that Jean and Craig had the experience; and we already knew what a... More

This was my first stay at Chester B&B, but it certainly will not be my last. This lovely B&B was one aspect of a great girls weekend spent floating down the James but such a big part. Craig and Jean were wonderful hosts who anticipated all of our needs, from cocktails on the porch to fresh coffee in the morning.... More

What started out five years as a celebration with about 13 of my closest friends for my 40th birthday has now turned into an annual event at Chester. We love Jean and Craig and the service they provide! We eat good food all weekend - float down the river - and get lots of pampering and relaxation thanks to the... More

The food was fabulous, the decorations were beautiful, the service was great. Jean and Craig made the day very special. The ambiance and decor of the Chester made us feel very welcome and comfortable, like we... More

My husband and I stayed at Chester B&B for my 40th birthday. I had never stayed at a b&b before because I like my privacy and felt I would get my ear talked off by any b&b owners... well it was not like that at all... these owners were fantastic. They were very attentive but not intrusive. Breakfast and Dinner... More
