“Very Relaxing Stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

Most enjoyable stay at The Gay Street Inn. We went to Little Washington for a retirement dinner celebration at The Inn at Little Washington. The Gay Street Inn is a very short walk to the restaurant. When we arrived back to the inn, to our delight, there was a bottle of port, beautiful glassware, chocolates, and a fire to make for a perfect ending to our dining experience. Totally unplugged feels good!! Kevin and Jay are great host and their inn is so relaxing. Jay served us a wonderful breakfast. Before we left, Kevin gave us a tour of his art studio and gallery. He is a fantastic artist. This newly retired teacher is going to give The Gay Street Inn an A+ !!!!

“Hope to go back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2011

Our first experience at a B & B and found the Inn, the innkeepers, and the town absolutely delightful. A lovely old home with a gorgeous garden, updated with very nice bathrooms, and a creative and attentive breakfast. Just 2 short blocks to our dinner destination, the Inn at Little Washington. GSI was all I had hoped for.

Room Tip: We liked the upstairs as we were sure not to hear steps from anyone above us

Although our aim is to please all of our guests, we're always especially delighted when first-time B&Bers take the plunge and discover they can enjoy this type of get-away -- there are so many wonderful B&Bs all over. We love sharing our home and the area in which we live, and are glad that these guests enjoyed themselves during their stay with us.

“Wonderful stay, highly recommend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2011

I surprised my boyfriend with a trip to Washington, VA for his birthday with dinner at the Inn at Little Washington and a night at the Gay Street Inn. The inn was perfect and the inn keepers were so wonderful. Our room was really cozy and clean and the common areas were also very nice. When we arrived Kevin offered us complimentary wine which we enjoyed in the peaceful backyard. They were very accomadating with just the right amount of attention. They had port and chocolates waiting for us when we returned from dinner, which was a really nice treat. Our breakfast in the morning was so delicious. My boyfriend had never stayed at a B&B before, he had been skeptical of them, but the Gay Street Inn changed his opinion. I've stayed at a few B&B's in the past, but this was by far my best experience. Highly recommend a stay here when in Washington, VA.

“Truly excellent B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

Maybe the best B&B I have ever stayed at anywhere. Room very attractive and comfortable -- as are the public spaces. Breakfast delicious. As noted by others, Kevin and Jay could not be better hosts (Kevin is a talented artist as well). Truly excellent in all respects.

“Hospitality, beauty and convenience...what else is there”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

The Gay Street Inn was fantastic. It resides a couple of blocks from the center of Little Washington, a convenient walk to any destination including the Inn at Little Washington. The hosts are Jay and Kevin who couldn't be better hosts. The Gay Street Inn is beautifully decorated with amazing art including a number of Kevin's pieces (Kevin is a highly accomplished artist.)

I can be somewhat particular about service (it disappointed me that I had to repeatedly ask to have my water glass refilled at the Inn at LW), but I have nothing negative to say about the Gay Street Inn...we had a perfect stay.
