“Foster Harris B&B, Washington VA 'Restorative Weekend Get-Away"”

Foster Harris House Bed and Breakfast

Save Review
4 of 5 stars
Washington, DC
16 Jan 2008

My husband and I wanted an easy weekend get away to escape the city and recoup from the exhausting holiday season. We wanted something not too far of a drive, but far enough away that we would really have a chance to un-plug. We could not have picked a better spot than the Foster Harris B&B. The four-course breakfast is decadent (better than the best restaurants in DC)and the serving time flexible upon special request. The hosts, John and Diane, are warm, kind and available to answer any and all questions. They run a very organized B&B while maintaining a casual, relaxed atmosphere. The grounds are meticulously maintained and the views magnificent. The spa quality bedding and linens, L'Occitane bath products and spa-grade bathrooms, evening turn-down service, in-room love seats and electric stoves elevate this B&B far above any B&B I've stayed in. Fresh coffee and tea are available self-service at 7:00am prior to the gourmet breakfast. We took advantage of the bike rental and received helpful instruction from John, a route card to follow and when we found ourselves 3 miles from the inn after the sun had set and the temperature dipping, headlights crested the hill behind us and John pulled up to give us a lift back. We didn't even have to call to be rescued...John knew when we had gone out and had realized we were not back after the sun set. We could not have been more thrilled to jump in his warm, clean car with our bikes in the back! They provided dining suggestions and pre-printed directions (we were not up for a big fancy dinner at the neighboring Little Inn at Washington).
I would have liked an in-room TV, although, not having one in the room did make for more rest, reading and romantic time with my husband.
The added high quality touches are reflective of the owners and their understanding of what makes the difference between a 'nice' place to stay and a place that you hope to stay at often. We plan to be back very soon and to bring a group of friends back in the sping for the Tour d'Epicure. Book your stay at Foster Harris House now! You won't regret it.

Here for a romantic anniversary get-away. Foster-Harris House more than lived up to our expectations. Friendly innkeepers John and Diane (and their adorable toddler), comfortable beds, fabulous shower, complimentary wine, turn-down service, and an outstanding full breakfast. It's also a great location -- just a short walk from the Inn at Little Washington and surrounding shops. We will definitely return!

What a great getaway for my husband and I to reconnect. We have three very small children and needed the time away. We stayed overnight and were served the most delicious dinner and breakfast!!! Totally five star service and dinning!!! My husband and I have eaten at The Inn At Little Washington a few times and we thought the food was just the same at the Foster House.

The rooms were perfect with the little [faux] fireplaces, beautiful decor and beautiful bathrooms!! It's perfect!!!!

We totally recommend this Bed and Breakfast to anyone, you'll love it! We'd love to go back every month if we could.

At first site we knew this was the place to spend a few quiet days relaxing. John enthusiastically met us at the door and welcomed us into his home. After a short introduction to the layout, meals, etc. we were shown to our room. How charming, warm and inviting. While we brought our bags in, which John so graciously offered to carry but we declined, John offered drinks of our choice and we began our relaxation. The rest of our stay followed suit. The little extras made quite a difference - bed turn downs with chocolate and info about the next day's weather, spa cloths in the bathroom, complementary wine, beer and port, etc. but the genuine friendliness of our hosts, John and Diane, is what made the stay the best experience ever. Oh, and let's not forget the breakfasts. John is an accomplished chef and his food shows his heart and soul. We can not wait to return.

We enjoyed a simply perfect stay with John and Diane. The rooms were lovely, from the ornate wooden post bed to the quaint stove to the surprisingly well-appointed bathrooms. And the breakfast - wow, I thought our dinner the previous night at Little Washington was the only amazing intricate multicourse menu on our schedule but breakfast was of the same ilk. On top of everything, John and Diane go out of their way to make your stay special - and I'm not just saying that because we got engaged the night before. If you're looking for a friendly yet classy place a short walk from Little Washington and in the heart of VA wine country, this is it.
