I spent the weekend here. I was in the traveling salesman room. Loved the whole place. It used to be an old General Store many many years ago And it still has a wonderful feel to it. The owners are courteous, friendly and warm.

My fiancee was in town for the presidents day weekend. Most places in the Virginia area were either over priced or not available due. I contacted the Boxwood Inn and got the romance and relaxation package, it included a hour couples massage, and a private 4 course dinner with a meal specially prepared by the in house chef. It was... More

My hubby and I had our wedding here in March of 2012. We also stayed for our wedding night. Let me start by saying that we had no idea where to start planning for our wedding. All we had was a date and a few ideas. When I found the Boxwood Inn online, I knew it was something special. Hubby... More

This is a proud old historic home with charm and character. The service is impeccable and the food totally outstanding. The innkeeper, Kathy is a perfect host: welcoming, smiling, caring and lovely. Her son, Josh and his wife, Bekki, will feed you wonderful food. Come here and see what I mean!

The Boxwood Inn is amazing. We had our wedding there June 2011 and it was spectacular. Kathy, Derrick, Josh and Becki are amazing at what they do. They knew how to throw a wedding like the back of their hands and guided us up till the last guest left the grounds. This place is beautiful on the inside as well... More

The Boxwood Inn hosted my son and daughter-in-law's wedding, and it was fantastic. This place has so much character, and the owners, Nancy and Derek were so accomadating. Unlike most places we toured, they were so flexible and willing to work with our family to stay within our budget. Also, Nancy was so knowledable, and her many years of catering... More

The Boxwood is centrally located in the historic triangle of Yorktown/Jamestown/Williamsburg. It is very clean with a lot of historic character. The innkeepers are very friendly and are welcoming hosts. Their breakfasts are filling and alive with flavor. They have a no-children policy, which was very attractive and added to the peace and quiet!
