My wife and I wanted to get away for a short weekend to celebrate a special event. We picked this location out after searching B&B's in the Williamsburg area. Not really knowing what exactly to expect here, we were VERY pleasantly surprised with the clean and quaint accommodations, location to the historic district, and the wonderful hospitality shown by Dick...

We made an impromptu visit to Williiamsburg and were calling around looking for a place to stay. Dick told us to come right over. We were just minutes away and that was not a problem. Both Dick and Sue were both so accommodating. They brought us up ice cold drinks immediately upon our arrival and also told us of all... More

Dick & Sue are wonderful hosts. They treat you like family throughout your entire stay with them. They are welcoming and accommodating of your needs. The private breakfast in your room is quite delicious and romantic. The rooms are large, comfortable, and evoke a Williamsburg atmosphere. This is a great B&B within one block of the historic area.

This was my first B&B experience in the United State and it set a very high standard. My girlfriend and I stayed here for our 2 yr anniversary and we felt welcomed from the moment we stepped onto the porch. Dick and Sue were there to greet us and it was like coming home to a relative you haven't seen... More

I feel remiss in taking so long to write this review. We visited Williamsburg in March and spent two days at Governor's Trace. First, I gave this bed and breakfast a 'very good' rating mainly based on a few important things: The owners are very helpful and welcoming, the breakfasts were good, the location ( a short walk to Colonial...

Thank you for your thoughts and gracious comments. Your review reminded us of a guest who once said to us: “This is just like staying at Grandma’s house.” At first, we were somewhat insulted but the more we thought about it, we realized that Grandma’s house was a place that was always inviting, cozy, warm, and comfortable, and we always...

From Dick welcoming you at the front door to the day we checked out, Dick and Sue were wonderful hosts. This B&B is literally right next to the historic district which makes it very easy to access by foot. The room was very comfortable. The candlelight breakfast was delicious. The recommendations of restaurants and sights to see was greatly appreciated.... More

My husband and I stayed at Governor's Trace for our one year anniversary and we had such a wonderful time. When people ask how our stay was, my response has been that "It was a dream come true". It was truly a home away from home. We had homemade breakfasts served to us every morning, it was quiet, the place... More

The best asset of Governor's Trace is the location, a quick walk over a bridge to the foot of the Governor's Palace. The Inn itself was a bit disappointing. Having stayed at many bed and breakfasts and after reading all the wonderful reviews on Trip Advisor, I expected a more refined and welcoming ambiance. The Inn's decor and lay out... More

Governor's Trace is an excellent B&B. Dick and Sue do a great job. They are very helpful and can provide you with numerous ideas concerning activities and places to visit in the Williamsburg area. The inn is located about 100 yards away from the historic area and is situated in a very quiet neighborhood. Breakfast is served in suite and... More
