My husband and I recently spent one night at the Silver Thatch Inn in Charlottesville, and would have stayed longer if we could have!

The staff was so gracious and accommodating, and our room was comfortable and well-appointed. Our dinner was excellent, as was the breakfast the next morning. We thought it was a good value, and an excellent base camp for exploring Charlottesville and Monticello.

We’d definitely go back again, and would recommend it to anyone who prefers a historic B&B to more soul-less modern properties.

In an attempt to not stay at the same place everytime, we tried the Silver Thatch Inn. The Inn Keepers were very friendly as were the staff. The staff was quite professional as well, particularly the restaurant staff. The food was delicious, though the menu was limited and remained the same during our 3 day stay. However, the room lacked a great deal. The bed and pillows resulted in impossible sleep. The loud heating unit did not help. We did find some comfort in the woodburning fireplace. Overall, we would certainly eat there again but would not try to sleep there again.

We stayed in the Thomas Jefferson room (lovely king sized canopy bed) over Parents' weekend. I liked that it was a bit away form the hustle and bustle of the town. The food was excellent. From the Breakfast that's included to the dinner we had, the chefs really outdid themselves. We're going back for graduation weekend.

This inn gives you the ambiance of a trip down "history" lane with some modern conveniences. Hospitality was very warm and shared by all from the innkeepers, to the person who greeted us when we arrived, to the chamber person.

Our room, the James Madison room, was large and decorated in a country motif. Everything was very clean in the bedroom. The bathroom was clean but in need of some repairs due to the age of the building.

Breakfast was excellent both mornings. Our first breakfast included a cup of fresh fruit and granola. The entree was a black forest ham, cheese, mushroom, and tomato omlet served with scrumptious pumpkin muffins. Even their coffee put Starbucks to shame. Also included was your choice of orange, grapefruit or cranberry juice.

The second morning we had buttermilk waffles with bacon and sauteed apples in brown sugar and spices.

We didnt use the bar but it was well stocked and every guest is treated to a glass of wine or beer on their visit.

The prices seemed reasonable. The hosts were great and even offered us extra utensils for our meal that we brought back on a night when no dinner was served at the inn.
