I ate at the bee and thistle inn with my family, a total of 6 people. While my gravlax appetizer was very good, the rest of the meal didn't quite live up to my expectations. My caesar salad was nothing special, and the croutons were so hard I couldn't eat them. My main course of duck was good, but nothing... more

I could hot have asked for a better weekend getaway for my wife and I to celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary! The staff was cordial, kind and friendly and helpful. The spa treatments were wonderful. The rooms romantic, spacious and clean and quite comfortable. The food and drink was fantastic. Simply put, the food was fantastic. The surrounding museums and... more

The Bee and Thistle Inn is a well-appointed and visually-captivating establishment. It contains delicate antiques and comfy furniture, and the grounds are beautifully maintained. But the experience of staying at the Inn made me feel as though I barged into a fancy dinner party unannounced. Almost every night, a group of people (usually not guests) assemble in the living room... more

This was an awful experience. The Innkeeper was rude several times to us, the room was nothing out of the ordinary (even though I had paid top dollar for a room with a fireplace), the heat was either on or off, so it was impossible to be comfortable the last week of January because it was either way too hot... more

Arrived Friday evening and was met by a pleasant young women. The owner of the inn showed us the way to our room which was beautifully decorated, clean and of average size for the year of the home. On Saturday they offered us several ideas and points of interest in the area with maps and brochures. We had a light... more

As a restaurant reviewer, I always try to give three visits prior to writing a review. My initial visit to The Bee and Thistle was pleasant but the following two were dismal. The atmosphere is overwrought with attempts at good taste but falls short of the owners' supposed goal. Food at best was average. High prices for low quality. more

We booked the spa package and were pleasantly surprised with everything we got. The facial (by Tara) was one of the best I've ever had - with foot, hand and neck massage included. The goody bag was overflowing with sparkling wine, lotions, high end face care etc.. The dinner was delicious - especially the salmon -and we sat at the... more

Disappointing. We took our family for Easter dinner. The atmosphere was far from festive. In fact, rather gloomy It was a prix fixe(including tax and a significant gratuity) expensive meal and no care was given for children nor was there any separate menu. We had our 6-year old and 3-year old grandchildren. The staff did not serve them the lobster... more

My wife and I stayed for one night at the Bee and Thistle on our way home from Maine to DC. The property is a stones throw off of I-95 but you cannot really tell. The Inn is impressive from the street but upon closer inspection is looking a bit ragged at the edges. We found a pleasant young lady... more
