Beautiful Property Underdelivers
Goodstone is an old estate, and there is a wonderful vibe of former luxury to it. The staff are very friendly and helpful, but there are not enough of them (or their management is lacking) to make your stay as luxurious and seamless as they would clearly like it to be, or as the price would suggest it should be. Some things we noticed: - delayed check in due to there only being one person available to show you to your cottage (most of the rooms are in small buildings you must drive to) - prix fixe menu at the restaurant was fine, but didn't bear comparison to other multi-course fine dining in the area - AC was broken in a 3rd-floor room, making it unusable - the room we were moved to was positively dowdy in decor, and also not modernized (not enough outlets, bad wifi, small vintage double bed, nails sticking out of antique dresser drawers ....) - lots of peeling paint and cobwebs, especially around windows There's no question that the estate has a lot of charm, but it's too obvious that the upkeep of it is a challenge. We had a perfectly nice time (the bar in the carriage house is fun, with elegant board games for your amusement), and it was neat to stay in a museum-like accommodation - we enjoyed exploring. But it was not the superlative experience you'd expect for that kind of property and that price.

Please know that we appreciate our thoughts and comments. We have 265 acres, with six cottages throughout the property. I am sorry to hear that you had some difficulty with the parking at your cottage. It might have been that we had a few extra guests visiting others that particular night or two, which is not a common occurrence. We are sorry that you were inconvenienced. I am thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your dining experience! Your happiness is what we strive for. Please come back and visit with us, again. ~

I gave this property a 5 star. The chef is from Belgium and is just exceptional and could very well move the restaurant to a Michelin 1 star. The setting is very charming and each room and cottage is very unique. The service was superb.

Fantastic "bed and breakfast" inn in the middle of Virginia hunt country. We have had dinner there before and wanted to stay overnight because everyone was so welcoming. The staff went out of their way to make things pleasant for us and we are so glad we were able to overnight. We had dinner there for a second time and it was one of the best meals ever! Well done to all!!

Lovely property, nice meals, room overpriced.
The property is quite beautiful... several buildings spread across a relatively wide area. We were in the Ambassador room, which is in the Spring House, about a half mile from the main inn. The house is very cool... several hundred years old and has two porches, a sitting room, and a kitchen for common use. The room itself was average... small and the decor felt dated (like 1990s dated, not 1890s dated, which would have been charming)... I'd say the room was overpriced. Dinner (not included) and breakfast (included) were very tasty... pretty standard fare. All of the staff we encountered were lovely and we definitely enjoyed our stay, but I'm not dying to go back.

Perfect retreat from the city
My husband and I could not wished for a better place to retreat and celebrate our anniversary. We stayed in a beautifully decorated French country cottage and enjoyed the peace and quiet from the surroundings. Unfortunately, the kitchen was being renovated and we could not try the highly-rated restaurant, and this is the only reason why we have not given the highest rating. We plan however to go back to enjoy the full experience.

Dear Sandra, Thank you for your kind review. Our apologies as construction of our new beautiful conservatory dining room is ongoing but coming to a close. We are excited to welcome you back upon it's completion. The French Farm Cottage is not only a guest favorite but the staff favorite as well. We are thrilled you enjoyed it. Again, thank you for choosing Goodstone Inn & Restaurant to celebrate your anniversary!

Excellent Service and Food in a Country Setting
We stayed at the Spring House in the Goodwin room. The room was very comfortable and the jetted tub was a pleasant extra. The 4-poster bed was very comfortable. The whole house was very clean and cozy. The breakfast was so delicious and the service was so friendly. We had omelettes with homemade croissants. Everything was fresh and homemade. We also enjoyed afternoon tea which is complimentary and includes homemade baked goods. I love how we were able to strike up conversations with quite a few of the staff. We walked the trails one morning and it was beautiful. The only issue was that the walls are quite thin and not soundproof at all. We could hear everything. But it is an old house and everything else was impeccable. So Goodstone Inn still earns 5 stars!

Nice but a little disappointing
This B&B is very nice, but I gave it only a 3 overall for two reasons. First it's pricey and at that price point I expect more luxurious accomdations. While the room was nice and the bed very comfortable it was no grander than a $200 night room. Second the shower was less than reasonable in design. It was in a very deep jacuzzi. I'm 5'2" and had a difficult time getting in and out of it. The sides were at least 2 ft high if not more. The rain shower head on the side of the tub was almost too short to make it in the tub (and didn't work well). An older or disabled person would not have been able to use it. All in all the B&B is pretty, nice, and clean, but not a good value for the money.

I stayed at the Dutch Cottage, my room was cozy and comfortable. There is a nice view from all the windows, fully equipped kitchen ( the keurig coffee machine is a plus). Bicycles and walking sticks were complimentary. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Dining is a must! My compliments to the Chef!

Quiet gem exceeded expectations
Booked a one night stay to see a horse and found this gem to exceed all our expectations. What a retreat! Amazing, beautiful, secluded property on the grounds of an old farm and estate. We stayed in Spring House and both rooms were well equipped, nicely decorated and comfortable with all amenities. We took a long walk on the country roads outside our door. Having bikes to ride was a very nice touch. The main lodge was perfect too in what was once the main stable area. Best yet was the dinner. Worth the trip in itself! Outstanding menu, delicious and well prepared and presented dishes. We will definitely be back as well as offer as gift certificates to family members living in D.C. Well done Goodstone!!!!!

An Excellent Getaway
We spent our 40th anniversary at the Good Stone Inn. We had a comfortable room in a cottage about a quarter mile from the main building in an enormous estate. We had a big room, stocked kitchen and scenic porches with good views. Dinner at night was grand with 4 course fixed priced offerings. I had the filet and my wife had the Dover sole....both excellent as were the appetizers, salads and deserts. Don't miss a chance to stop here if possible. It was raining off and on but it the weather was better we'd have enjoyed the walks, kayaks, and bikes.

Our Stay at the Bull Barn
This little "cottage" was a converted bull barn. It was set in rolling fields of a working farm. We had beautiful views and very private accomodations. The spa shower was a favorite feature! We enjoyed a relaxing night and incredible meals. We will definitely choose this for another special celebration.
