Cave Hill Farm Bed & Breakfast

Lovely B&B in the Shenandoah Valley. We had such a pleasant and relaxing time. It felt like home. Very gracious hosts.

I have stayed here many times before and it was great but it must be under new management because it was really terrible this time and I won't be returning. Instead of a gourmet breakfast served each morning by a friendly couple, we got an empty cold dining room with bagels and muffins wrapped in plastic on the counter and a kurig machine ... so so disappointing. Also plastic forks and spoons and paper plates and cups....unbelievable. Room was cold and the thermostat in the corridor was locked and password protected. Landlady had the TV beneath our room (Gold) blasting until 1.30am.... really! We used to consider the house "quaint" with all of the furnishings but honestly it's just so dirty and God knows the last time anything was cleaned. Bathroom was dirty, door knob fell off several times, multiple lightbulbs not working, heater in the room was inadequate, toilet leaking. I booked for three nights but left after two, I just couldn't take it any longer and went home early. I will not be returning but hope this review will warn "regular" visitors that it's not the same and has really gone downhill.....just sad and did I mention disappointing.

We made a reservation here because we were attending a wedding the following day. Upon check-in, we met Brittany. Unfortunately, she had an accident that caused her to be on crutches. She explained to us that she would not be able to supply the Hardy breakfast, that usually is associated with other bed-and-breakfast, and that we could have a choice of store-bought, bagels and croissants, muffins, and there was Keurig coffee. All this was cafeteria style. I asked if there would be some adjus**ent to the daily rate for the two days that we were there. She hesitated, and then said she would check with her husband . That was 5 o’clock on the Friday we checked in and the first time and the last time we ever saw Brittany again even though we were in and out of the house multiple times. When we left on Sunday and checked out at 10:30 AM, nobody was there, so we just dropped our key off at the desk and left. She had never gotten back to us one way or the other after checking with her husband. We have been to many bed-and-breakfast and enjoy that stay over hotels/motels. Mostly because of the homelike feeling, the opportunity to meet new people , and to share in the history of the place where we’re staying. Usually, the big highlight of the stay is the outstanding breakfasts we have had at other residence. It’s such a convenient and great way to start your day of adventure. Since it cost us an additional $100.00 for breakfast both days, we will not be returning.

I loved eating breakfast with the other guests and chatting about what we had done the day before and plans for the upcoming day. There's even a brewery associated with this B&B! You can wake up and see cows walking around outside. There is so much history to this house; it felt very special to get to stay here.

We enjoyed our time and the hosts were great. We also enjoyed the wonderful french toast breakfast!

Cave Hill is a wonderful traditional B&B, with delightful rooms and a traditional breakfast in the morning. The house is full of antiques and the hosts were gracious.

Breakfast was served cold, and would help if it was served earlier; (9:00 AM is a bit late when traveling)

The property was decorated well for the time period. Bed was comfortable and breakfasts were great. Tried to take a jacuzzi tub but once I turned the jets on, dirt, mildew and bugs shot out so most likely no one is cleaning out the jets regularly. The blind was broken so we had a hard time letting in any natural light. The person running the inn seemed distracted and didn't share much in terms of what the amenities were or how the breakfast service worked. Coffee was lukewarm unless you made your own Keurig which was backed up with 6 guests trying to get coffee all at once. Could be a great spot rather than average with just a few tweaks.

Great place to stay while visiting James Madison University. Quaint, quiet and only 8 miles from campus. Better than most chain hotels in the area. Comfortable rooms with all the amenities. Breakfast looked wonderful even though we couldn’t stay to eat.
