the best B&B by the readers of the A guest describes her visit....
Our stay in the Jefferson Davis Room at the Linden House Plantation Bed and Breakfast was a happy blend of antebellum and contemporary Southern hospitality. In the antique-filled bedroom, a portrait of the president of the Confederacy reminded us of Essex County’s Confederate days. The luxurious bath made us appreciate the joys of living in the present. A guest writes....
"The Linden House was everything we were looking for in a quiet little getaway and more! Our objective was to go somewhere alone together and relax without the cats, dog, kids, phone, TV, etc., and not have anything pre-planned. We just wanted to 'go with the flow' and enjoy each other's company. We certainly picked the right spot. One of the things we enjoyed most about our stay was the wonderful ambiance of the home. It was neat, clean, beautifully decorated and had been remodeled a few years ago in an exquisite manner to provide for modern convenience yet retain the flavor and atmosphere of old America. What made our visit complete was the warmth, charm, and friendship extended to us by our hosts. " Accolades from guests: "...you were one of the highlights of our trip." Loche, LaPorte, Indiana

Wilson, Washington, D.C. "This is the most relaxing B&B to stay at. The plantation-style breakfast is wonderful. The atmosphere is quiet, peaceful and very enjoyable." C&M Esquibel "Linden House was a 'joyful' and 'unique' experience. It was relaxing, comfortable, and the rural setting is outstanding. The affable hosts made us feel at home. After an hour or two, we felt we had known them for a long period of time. The full plantation breakfast was very special and filling." A. Radi, Jr. "They sent us home with wonderful goodies. We got engaged on Friday night after our delicious dinner. The Linden House will always be very meaningful to us." C.Smith "The Linden House is a lovely place. The food is great. The service good. The staff puts you at ease and makes you feel comfortable. They go the extra mile for their guests." P. Briggs, Tappahannock VA

When they say "a full plantation breakfast" they mean it. We began with goblets of orange juice and crystal plates of apple-spice compotes. Next came fragrant fruited scones and ham biscuits. These are the ham biscuits of Old Virginia - the biscuits are short and flaky and the ham is genuine country. There were more biscuits to spread with butter and jam.
"Thank you again for your thoughtfulness especially
bringing over the flutes and strawberries to go with our champagne.
We had a wonderful time with you," S. & N. Schmidt, Great Mills, MD
