"We felt like we were at home while we were in Williamsburg for our daughter's wedding at the Wren Chapel. Having a cup of tea by the fire in the evening, visiting our children in their rooms, and having breakfast in the beautiful sunroom was absolutely wonderfully warm and comforting during that cold weekend in January. We look forward to "coming back home" in the near future. Thank you Bob and staff. Lois & Joe Neighbors, Athens, GA."


"We have never stayed at a bed and breakfast before so we really didn't know what to expect. Everything was wonderful...the breakfast, comfortable bed and room, sitting by the fire at night chatting with our friends and meeting the staff and having them treat you so special. We will be back. Thank you for the memories. Sherwood and Sherry Pendergraft, Lake City, SC"
- sherry/sherwood pendergraft, Lake City, SC

"This was our first visit to a B&B. It was our anniversary weekend getaway. We just fell in love with the house and the Christopher Wren room was perfect.

Thanks for everything! -Jim and Carrie Long, Virginia Beach, VA"
- Jim Long, Virginia Beach, VA

"Cedars B&B was an incredibly charming host to the whole bridal party the weekend of my wedding. The rooms are lovely and comfortable, the food excellent, the proprietors Grace and Bob and the rest of the staff extraordinarily gracious and helpful during the final (sometimes chaotic) wedding preparations. The mimosa wedding brunch in the gazebo was elegant and delicious - everybody had a fantastic time! Bob also contributed wonderful photos and video clips to the event, which made it even more special. If you're looking for the right place to stay to prepare for a wedding and be with your loved ones, Cedars is it!!"
- Kim Butler, Morningside, MD

"My husband and I selected the Cedars B&B as a retreat away from the hustle and bustle of Washington D.C in celebration of our one year anniversary. The staff and innkeepers were helpful and gracious hosts. Our room (the George Washington Suite) was very comfortable and well appointed. Breakfast on the morning of our departure was fantastic and made more enjoyable by our interactions with Bob. In our opinion, a traditional hotel is not an option when you have the chance to spend time at a B&B like Cedars! Thank you again!"
- Traci Cosio, Alexandria, VA

"The stay couldn't have been more romantic and wonderful. I loved the area and the B&B where we stayed. The owners and staff were so friendly and attentive. I can't wait to go back!"
- Erica Frank, Rochester, ny

"Just what we needed! The Cedars is not only beautiful, warm and inviting as well. We stayed in the George Washington Suite and it was just lovely. This was our first B&B stay and we will definitely be back soon. Elenore, Ruth and Bob were helpful and gracious hosts. Thanks for a relaxing and romantic getaway! James and Teresa Finlay, Newport News, VA"
- Teresa Finlay, Newport News, VA

"The Cedars coordinated all the details for our daughter and new son-in-law for a wedding come true. Each detail was planned and carried out in a loving professional manner. As mother of the bride, I can't say enough for The Cedars making this a VERY special family memory. All the food, decorations, and photography exceeded our expectations. What A Beautiful Memory!!! Thank You Cedars. George and Vickie Siebert, Williamsburg, VA "
- George/Vickie Siebert, Williamsburg, VA

"What a delightful stay! Our time at The Cedars was a gift from our son and his wife and while there, they arranged for us to renew our vows out in the gazebo, complete with minister, flowers and our family around us. A wonderful and romantic way to celebrate. Our thanks to everyone at The Cedars for making this time of our lives the time of our life!!"

"My husband and I just returned from a great weekend in Williamsburg! We particularly enjoyed the wonderful setting provided in the Peyton Randolph room in the separate cottage behind the main house, near the gazebo. Everything was perfect, including the beautiful grounds and spring weather. Many thanks to Angela for answering all our questions and helping with dinner reservations, etc. Bob, we were so impressed with your attention to every detail and, of course, the great breakfast! We look forward to returning with our family."


"This was our first visit to a B&B and we booked it to celebrate our anniversary. We just loved the accomodations and the Christopher Wren suite was beautiful. The flowers, wine and dinner were the icing on the cake. We highly recommend you take advantage of one of the packages offered by the hosts, everything was taken care of! Bob and Grace are gracious hosts and the breakfast (especially the baked oatmeal) was superb! Thanks for a relaxing and romantic weekend and for helping us make this a weekend to remember. Warmest Regards, Karin & Gene Walls, Newport News VA "


"We are B&B mavens and our stay in the Christopher Wren room last week was so special... the facility, grounds, hospitality, and food were simply wonderful... Bob and Grace could not have done more to make us feel at home... they also are like private concierge in their guidance, all of which made our stay terrific... we will be back... what a find!... and right across the street from the college and a 5 minute walk to Colonial Williamsburg... give this a try"


"Eighteen of us just returned from our annual women's weekend away. This was our first time at The Cedars. It was beautiful, comfortable, and conveniently located to everything of interest in Williamsburg. Bob and Grace's commitment to service and friendliness were just incredible! We have never felt so welcomed and catered to in all our years of get-togethers. They couldn't do enough to make it a special time."
- Sharon Armstrong, Washington, DC

"My family and I just returned from a long weekend at the Cedars where we celebrated my Mother's 80th birthday. We had the most wonderful time!! Bob and Grace took extra good care of Mom - she is already talking about returning to the Cedars for her 90th birthday!!"


"This was my second trip to the Cedars of Williamsburg B and B and just as great as the first time. Our hosts, Bob and Grace, are very friendly. The breakfast food is fantastic. Highly recommend staying at this b and b to anyone who wants to stay in Williamsburg. As well, it is only about four or five blocks from the colonial area. -Maureen, Washington, DC"
- Maureen Flynn

"We cannot say enough about the unfailing hospitality Bob and Grace betowed upon the guest's of our wedding. The wedding day was the most memorable day of our lives and we have them to thank for it. Our family and friends are still raving about the homey comfort of the rooms and the scrumptious breakfast. The grounds were so well manicured and the ambiance was incredibly peaceful. Not many things in life are perfect (the Cedar's country pineapple casserole comes to mind!!) but I can say that our wedding and overnight stay at the Cedars was as close to perfect as an experience can be. Thank you Bob and Grace for your generous hospitality. We cannot wait to return for our 1st anniversary!! -- Hillary & Michele Hopkins, Chesapeake, VA"
- Hillary Hopkins, Philadelphia, PA

"Our first time going to a bed and breakfast home and we both was very pleased with the service and the worm welcome that we received from Grace. Our room was warm and relaxing. We met Bob at breakfast and we felt like we had known him for life. His service at breakfast made us feel right at home. We will travel back to spent a weekend or morer time at their home. We wish for God to continue shedding his blessing's upon their home. Can't wait to return to such a quiet and romantic place!!!---Roscoe & Mary Childs, Milford Virginia (Caroline County) Mary Childs "
- Mary Childs, Milford, Va

"We can't say enough about our stay at The Cedars B&B. Our hosts, Grace and Bob, were delightful, the breakfasts outstanding, the location, the best and accommodations and grounds were beautiful. We certainly will return in the near future. Don and Inge Murphy"
- Don and Inge Murphy, Venice, FL

"From the time we pulled into the driveway, there was a relaxed and homey feeling the B&B. Elenore's greeting was warm and expressed a sincere intrest in our needs. The house was absolutely beautiful and very clean. Bob and his staff really made us feel at home and special at the same time. The breakfast was delicious and Bob's attention to making sure we were taken care of was outstanding. The pictures he took were a very nice touch. I look forward to the opportunity to stay at the Cedars again."


"The Cedars was a surprise romance/anniversary package from our children for our 30th year anniversary. The facility was beautiful, comfortable with a great location. Bob and Grace made our celebration a delight with their quite wit and charm. We loved the Christopher Wren and were delighted to find rose petals and chocolates on our bed, chilled sparkling cider, and beautiful rosed awaiting us! The breakfast in bed was quite the treat. We loved the photos and specially designed brochure just for us! Thank you to the Cedars and our sons and daughter-in-laws for a great anniversary!"
- Debbie Spivey, chesterfield, va

We can't say enough about our weekend. Thank you Bob and Grace for making our anniversary so special! God Bless!! Craig and Sonya Waters"
- Sonya Waters, Chesterfield, VA

"My boyfriend and I immediately felt at home at the Cedars from the time the owners opened the door. The house was beautifully decorated, inside and out, and every room smelled delicious. The owners offered to help with dinner reservations and suggested several places we could visit within walking distance. (It was only a short walk to Merchant's Square.) We stayed in the Christopher Wren room on the top floor. A huge, comfortable bed topped with tons of gorgeous pillows was the centerpiece of the room. There were two closets with shelves and hangers--plenty of space to put away all our clothes. Antique-looking furniture and colonial pictures and decorations adorned the room. A window seat overlooking the gazebo in the backyard was a nice touch as well. We had our own private bathroom with full-sized tub/shower, stand-alone sink and toilet, as well as a makeup table by the window overlooking the front yard. In the morning, we joined other guests for a hot breakfast. Each couple had their own table, which was nice, since many B&Bs ask you to sit with other guests at a large table. The owners took our picture at the table (which was later printed out for us and also printed on the cover of a Cedars brochure for us to take home as a souvenir). Since it was my birthday weekend, the owners led the guests in a (albeit sleepy) rendition of "Happy Birthday" as I blew out the candle in a breakfast muffin. All in all, it was a wonderful weekend at a fantastic B&B. I will definitely be recommending it to my friends and family and will certainly be back again myself."
- Holly Slonaker, Richmond, VA

"I didn't know what to expect since this was my first B&B experience, but as soon as my girlfriend and I checked out we were planning the next visit. The experience and hopitality from Bob could not have been better. From now on, we will only be staying at The Cedars when we visit the Williamsburg area!"
- Chris Malarkey, Halethorpe, MD

"What an incredible stay we had at the Cedars of Williamsburg. This stay for us was a last minute trip and we were very fortunate to find a vacancy at the Cedars. I researched extensively all the B&B's in the area and without a doubt this facility intrigued me. The website was very informative and the pictures we looked at were exactly as they are in reality. What impressed me the most during our stay was not just the B&B itself and the beautiful decor and rooms, (we loved the George Washington room) but the attention that has been given to every detail, from the fresh cut flowers at the door and in the living room, to the candles at the table for breakfast and the beautiful gardens behind the home and the gazebo which afforded us some private time and quiet reading while we enjoyed the variety of birds. The breakfasts were absolutely heavenly, we loved visiting each morning with the host and hostess. They are delightful and charming and made us feel right at home. If we came back to the area, we would not even hesitate to make a booking at the Cedars. We always travel and stay at B&B's where possible and this was high on our list of places that we have been to this past year and a half. Many thanks to you Bob and Grace for making this a treasured memory for us. Ivan and Marie Wright Wintersville Ohio"
- Marie and Ivan Wright, Wintersville, OH

"My parents, husband and 13 year old daughter embarked on a historic tour. We were completely taken by the location, decor, food and proprietors of Cedars of Williamsburg. We saw and met many wonderful people, but Cedars of Williamsburg was a highlight of our trip. Warm, clean, cozy, friendly, delicious food! Generous would also be an adjective I would use to describe Bob and Grace. They even gave us photos as a memento!!! Follow their restaurant advice on their website, and if plans permit, spend more than 2 nights - there is a lot to see and do in the area. Also, when looking at the price, - remember, you get a FULL COURSE hot gourmet breakfast... be sure to savor and enjoy it. (We had crème brule french toast one morning - outstanding)."
- Jeanette Caldeira, Honolulu, hi

"From the first moment we saw The Cedars it was impressive and inviting. We love bed and breakfasts and this one is definitely a "keeper". We had a very relaxing and enjoyable weekend. We chose a romatic themed package and Bob and Grace saw to every last detail. It was simple the best. We were even waited on at breakfast!"
- Carolyn Waddell, Minford, oh

"Bob and Grace made us feel welcome, like special guests. The breakfasts were scrumptious, the accomodations beautiful, and the gardens lovely. The Cedars is an ideal location for a stay in Williamsburg."
- Jane Anderson, Medina, OH

"My husband and I decided on a Friday to get away to Williamsburg for the weekend. This was my first trip to Williamsburg as well as my first experience at a B&B. We both felt so at home at The Cedars. We very much enjoyed the atmosphere, food and hospitality of our hosts. Thanks again for a great weekend!"
- Staci Lanier, Franklin, va

"I was going to write a long testimonial full of the highest praises for The Cedars and it's wonderful hosts, but after reading everyone else's, all I need say is "Ditto" Thanks, Bob, Grace and Eleanor, for being so kind, caring and fun! p.s. Bob - did you get your supply of Tide-To-Go yet? "
- Bonnie Anderson

"My wife and I have stayed at several B & Bs thoughout VA, PA, NC and GA over the past few years. The Cedars ranks in our top 5. You can't beat the friendliness of the staff, Bob and Grace. We have stayed in three of their rooms, and each one was relaxing and very comfortable (we hope to stay in all the rooms and win the "Sleep Around Contest." The breakfast dishes are absolutely delicious. Bob's humor is contagious; he has the ability to make even an old grouch (United States Navy Master Chief) smile. Another good thing about the Cedars is location, only about a 10 minute walk to the Colonial section of Williamsburg, and a short drive to the Williamsburg Winery (a must for wine drinkers). Bob, Grace and Staff, thanks ever so much for your warm hospitality. Fred and Susan Gerow, Fairfax, VA."
- Fred Gerow, Burke, VA

"What a find! Great people, great food and such a convenient location."
- Claire & Dick MacDonald, Timonium, MD

- Jonathan Scott, Williamsburg, VA

"Wow, what a treat. My sisters and I were greeted by a warm staff and comfortable surroundings. Accomodations were perfect for a stress-free weekend. Bob was a great host and made each of his guests feel special. Can't wait for our next trip to Billville."
- Lori Malcolm, Swanton, MD

"Owner's Bob & Grace could not be more gracious! They and their staff prepared a wonderful, delicious breakfast each day. The Lord Botetourt room in the cottage was comfortable and cozy! The proximity to Colonial Williamsburg can't be beat! Can't wait to go back!"
- Nancy Nehez, Haverhill, MA
