About this property
Historic B&B located walking distance to the Williamsburg and The College of W&M
The Williamsburg Sampler is a traditional bed & breakfast and #1 and sometimes #2 on Tripadvisor. While we are a bed & breakfast the house is often rented by single groups of families and friends traveling together. The Williamsburg Sampler features four guest rooms, two suites and two chamber rooms.
The suites will make you feel extra special with King size four poster bed and 18th century colonial decor, wingback chair, premium cable television, and private bath with steam shower. These suites lead through French doors to the second room with additional seating, a wet bar sink and refrigerator in an antique piece, fireplace and 2nd televisions. These suites also feature pull out coaches for additional sleeping accommodations. Again through French doors and out to the "RoofTop Garden," with a view of the garden, woods, and grapevine covered Arbor. These suites can comfortably accommodate guests four each.
The Chamber Rooms are an equally pleasant room with king size four-poster pineapple carved bed, 18th century colonial decor, wingback chair, television/fireplace and private bath with Steam Shower. The entire house will sleep 12+ guests. We also have kiddie cots, air mattresses and porta cribs available.
All our bathrooms have been completely remodeled with Jetted Shower which allows spray nozzles to blanket you with a cone shaped spray to provide a more soothing and relaxing shower experience. Wifi is available throughout the house along with an Internet ready computer & printer available in our large sitting room.
The Williamsburg Sampler is located three blocks from Colonial Williamsburg and the Merchants Square Shops. (a very pleasant walk through the historic William & Mary Campus) We are located just minutes from Busch Gardens, Water Country, the Prime Outlet Shops, the Williamsburg Winery, Jamestown & Yorktown. We also have plenty of golf within a short drive.
A Full Regional Buffet Breakfast is offered each morning. We are caterers and prepare a wonderful breakfast. Additionally, always have freshly baked cookies, coffee, hot chocolate, lite snacks and soft drinks available. Daily housekeeping is also included.
