Donna is just a lovely person. We came for the Luray Triathlon and she had us sorted out! She had a triathlete friendly breakfast to go prepared for us allowed late checkout so we could clean up afterwards. The property is lovely. We will definitely be back for a weekend getaway and take more time to enjoy the town and Woodruff House.

Donna and Anne were the most gracious and warm hosts. Donna escorted us inside when we arrived, gave us the tour, and explained everything. We immediately felt at home. Donna and Anne are excellent cooks, and their breakfasts started each day off perfectly. I hope I can stay with them again!

Did a spur of the moment trip to Luray Caverns and picked the Woodruff House by chance. Lucky choice! Place could not have been nicer. Met Donna who gave us a tour of the property and suggestions for our evening. Weren’t there long enough to take advantage of all the amenities but we’re going back when the leaves change. Highly recommend!

Our only suggestion would be to empty ashtrays daily so nonsmokers are not deterred from using the gazebo or deck. Otherwise, comfortable, clean, relaxing atmosphere close to attractions.

Response from Donna on Jul 13, 2019
Thank you for your feedback. We understand that a lot of our guest are nonsmokers. As I am a non smoker. We try to keep everything cleared and empty but when we have a heavy smoker it can be overwhelming. We will try to stay on top of the smoking areas more often. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Enjoying the comforts of home
We stayed at the Woodruff for one not, passing through from NC. We arrived after ‘check in’ to find a personal letter for us telling us we were welcomed and how to enter the property and directions to the room. The Woodruff certainly is not a Hotel or Motel. It is a quaint historical building with many original features still intact and an ambiance of charm . Our room was equipped with a Spa tub and a much needed window size air conditioner. The bed was comfortable. The shower was adequate, serving our purpose with soft fresh smelling towels provided. The kitchen/ dining room is fully accessible to the residents. Tea/ coffee, home made cookies , fruit are available when needed. On our morning visit for breakfast the food was freshly prepared, not sitting under heat lamps. The guests at the B& B sat together around one table, which was very personal with conversations taking place throughout the meal. Our host was available to meet our needs. There are two very pretty and comfortable sitting rooms to enjoy the feeling of being welcomed in a home. The outside area, has a hot tub, a fire pit, decking area etc . I would really recommend giving this place a visit when you are planning a visit to Luray, VA.

Great amenities and wonderful hospitality
My boyfriend and I stayed at several BnBs recently and this was by far our favorite. The bed was super-spacious and SO COMFORTABLE. The place was clean and homey and the gracious and friendly host went out of her way to prepare food that accommodated my meatless, gluten-free diet. This place has all the amenities I would hope for, plus there is a wonderful outdoor Jacuzzi that was perfect for my aching muscles after a day of hiking. Highly recommended!

Welcoming and very relaxing
We have just left the Woodruff B&B with full very tummies and agreed if we are ever travelling this way again we would definitely stay. There was great communication between Donna and ourselves even before we arrived in the States. As we arrived in the afternoon, Donna was there to greet us with a welcoming smile and showed us around the B&B. Donna was very informative about places to eat, visit and things to do and throughout was very friendly. Over the few days we stayed, we were greeted every morning with a very cheerful welcome and an amazing breakfast. Donna was fab catering for my veggie needs. We had a yummy fruit bowl every morning, a cooked breaky and then another tasty treat. The apple muffins and pancakes were amazing. Donna was extremely easy to talk to and made us both feel very welcome and relaxed. During the day and evening there was always tea and coffee available and some yummy cookies as well. The hot tub on the patio was a fab way to chill out in the evening. Our room was in the attic, clean, loads of space, two air conditioning systems as well as a fan and a great jacuzzi. There was plenty of parking right outside as well, which made unloading the car easy. We would definitely recommend a stay here, Donna is a fantastic host and extremely welcoming.
