We stayed at this hotel last Spring and loved it. The rooms were a nice size, and comfortable. We had a room with a detached bathroom (the first time I've ever stayed anywhere with a detached bathroom!), but it was not inconvenient, and the space was private enough that it didn't feel uncomfortable. The breakfast was delicious, and the host... More

Very clean and well appointed room and great bed.Dogs were annoying.Only 2 drawbacks were minor plumbing problem and very inferior (definitely not "expanded") continental breakfast. On site parking is a plus. Stayed at Kenmore in the past and would do so again even though it is not as centrally located.

What a great, relaxing time we had at the Richard Johnston Inn! Our room ("The Loft") was quite smartly furnished, with a great sitting area and a very comfy king bed in "the loft". It was so very relaxing after a hard, long week. The Innkeeper, Bonnie, was just a delight as were her two Schnauzers. The outdoor terrace (in... More

We enjoyed a wonderful 5 days in Fredericksburg celebrating our daughter's graduation. Having a great place to stay made the trip more enjoyable. Our room, the Canopy, was furnished nicely with antiques yet had a TV discreetly in the wardrobe. Everything was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Bonnie and staff were very helpful and attentive to needs. She... More

Our extended family enjoyed a wonderful weekend in Fredericksburg to celebrate a University of Mary Washington graduation and the Richard Johnston suites, rooms and courtyard were our home away from home. It was our gathering and visiting spot between events and Bonnie's boxed breakfasts and shuttle service to the campus for the graduation morning were a huge treat and help.... More

If you like antiques, and you're satisfied with a primitive heating/cooling system, shabby bathrooms, second-rate plumbing, and third-rate breakfasts, you may enjoy the Richard Johnston Inn. If not, I suggest you look elsewhere.

Mr. Garrett was here for 3 nights. He first stated that his room was to cool, so I offered to adjust the temperature, then he said it was fine. During the week we serve an extended continental breakfast of fresh fruit, homemade breads, cereals, yogurt ,bananas, juces and coffee - this is stated on our website. This past weekend was... More

We stayed at the Richard Johnston Inn in Fredericksburg which was highly recommended by the Chamber of Commerce. We love to stay at B&B's and this one was no exception. Run by Bonnie, an expert in the business, our room was wonderful, the breakfast sensational and wholesome (Bonnie is an exceptional chef). Her directions on "touring", where to go, what... More

My wife and I recently enjoyed 2 nights at the Richard Johnston Inn's Caroline House. We enjoyed one of the nicest rooms we have experienced in our travels as far as B&Bs are concerned. The room was well appointed, clean, and offered a great amount of privacy. The courtyard outside the room was a very relaxing place to enjoy our... More

We had the pleasure of staying at the 1890 Caroline House, sister home to the Richard Johnson Inn. We were created warmly by Lindsi upon our arrival. She showed us around the house and to our room. Lindsi offered suggestions for restaurants in the area. Everything was within walking distance! We parked our car and didn't get back in it... More

I'm not a very good reviewer, but made a quick get away to RJ. I live close by. I stayed in the Frejus which is at the top of the stairs. The furnishings are wonderful and it was so relaxing. Bonnie, the inn keeper was a sweetheart and I enjoyed meeting my fellow guests at a sumptuous breakfast feast.
