When I read the reviews for the Hornsby House Inn, I was suspicious that they were all "Excellent". But, after staying there this past weekend, I am also rating the Hornsby House Inn as "Excellent". This beautiful, refurbished house is loaded with family heirlooms, and is very spacious with large porches, comfortable sofas, and wood-burning fireplaces. The two owners, Dave... More

First of all, don’t let the title depress you, because we had a great time. The Hornsby Inn is well run with the ambience of owners who grew up there. The place has been in their family for eighty years or so, and everywhere you look, you see family pictures and knickknacks as you would find in your own home.... More

This is a DO NOT MISS PLACE-- We really liked it. Two brothers, David and Phil, are the owners and opened their homeplace to visitors only a year and a half ago. They are new to this, and they seem to be doing everything just right. When we checked in we met their only employee, Megan, and she was delightful.... More

I heartly recommend the Hornsby House Inn. My wife and I stay in b&b's frequently and I consider this property my top choice. Dave and Phil are great. They make you feel at home at what is probably the most "homey" place I've ever stayed. The rooms were great, the company was great and the experience was great. Hey Dave... More

Just spent a few days at the Hornsby House Inn and could not have picked a better place to stay for a nice mini R&R following our wedding. We stayed in the Grand Monument room and had an amazing, relaxing time with beautiful views of the York River. Fireplace was a great touch especially with unseasonably cooler temperatures in May....

We really enjoyed staying in Yorktown when we were visiting Williamsburg, Jamestown & Yorktown. It is a very small and quiet town. At the house, we loved the spacious suite with 2 single beds and a king bed. It was very comfortable and had great views. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was absolutely terrific every day.... More

We (British couple - married 48 years!!) stayed at Hornsby for 3 nights, and found the experience most enjoyable. The exterior of the house is a little stark and belies the tasteful decoration, furnishings and comfort found once though the front door. Originally Grandfathers house, it is now run hands on by brothers David and Phillip, who provide an exemplary... More

Just a casual 'stride' down to the beautiful and quiet waterfront of Historic Yorktown. We stayed on the third floor in the Hornsby House Room and everything was wonderful! Megan helped us get checked in, told us some of the history. Then we had wine and cheese outside on the front deck. We were very busy running around all weekend... More

My wife found this place online, loved the way it was decorated and had to stay here on our trip to Williamsburg. It was a great place to stay, the host were wonderful and the rooms were great. Great view right on the river and within walking distance of riverfront area. We would definitely stay there again.
