We stayed at the York River Inn when we came to this area to see a K.D. Lang concert. We were warmly welcomed by Bill who gave us an overview of the Inn and the area. We stayed in the Washington Suite which has a beautiful view of the York River and the bridge. It was quiet, well decorated, and... More

We spent 3 nights at the York River Inn, Yorktown, Va recently and thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Bill Cole a fantastic host. Besides the wonderful views from the Presidents suite the highlight was the excitement of what was coming for breakfast. Bill never gave us the same meal twice. He put so much thought into his cooking and the... More

My wife and I spent 3 evenings at the York River Inn, and plan to return. We were in the President's Room with a wonderful view of the York River from our balcony. Each morning started with an amazing breakfast of unique and homemade specialities, each wonderfully served and clarified (many were things I'd never enjoyed before, but hope to... More

This was our second year that we stopped at the York River Inn B&B en route to OBX. It is such a delight, after a long drive from CT, to pull in to Yorktown B&B and be greeted by Bill. This year we chose to stay in the Pocahontas Room and we were not disappointed. Comfortable bed, quiet & we... More

Our two night visit at the York River Inn was outstanding! Bill is the perfect host and shows his skill as a chef! The breakfasts were tasty and all were homemade! The room was comfortable with the downstairs providing a view of the river. The bridge in view from the balcony offers scenes of ships using the drawbridge to reach... More

Deliberatly booked a B@B so that I could meet and talk with ordinary and everyday Americans, Bill is neither ordinary or everyday. As soon as I arrived he was explaining and showing me his garden plants, his books and his home. Staying at a BB is quite different experience from a hotel and you need to want this or else... More

Bill was a gracious host. Extremely knowledgeable about tVirginia and local history. Very helpful in guiding our daily plan of attack. Breakfast was wonderful, as were the other guests. We had the Presidents Room which offered a lovely view of the York River, as well as its own private balcony. Hope to go back soon! More

I cannot say enough how much my husband and I enjoyed the York River Inn Bed and Breakfast. The location was perfect and if you enjoy walking you could have walked every where in Yorktown from this B & B. The room was spacious and view terrific. We were totally impressed by the delicious breakfast. We had two and both... More

The York River Inn is located on a bluff overlooking the York River. Peaceful, quiet, beautiful. We spent three nights and it was a wonderful respite after sightseeing all day at Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown. We're not crazy about crowds and traffic, so we picked Yorktown as a home base. The owner of the B&B, Bill, is an expert on... More
