Mixed bag
It was a mixed bag for us: Pros: easy check in process; excellent host who was friendly and informative; great breakfast each morning- simple but healthy and delicious; very comfortable bed and pillows; spacious room with sitting area; very easy access to W&M and Williamsburg. Cons: shower was poor - just dribbles of water; lights on either side of bed did not work; cracked floor tiles in bathroom were concerning; some of the furnishings are tattered (minor issue); large cockroach greeted me at bedtime (bigger issue).

We stayed in the Magnolia suite. This was our first stay at a B&B, so we really had no idea of what to expect going in. Magnolia Mannor was a great place to stay. There is no desk check in, but Scott has everything ready to go for when you arrive. The house is beautiful, and the breakfast is a treat. I cannot say enough good things about the place.

We so enjoyed our stay at Magnolia Manor! Scott was an excellent Host and made the most delicious homemade breakfasts, gave great recommendations re: the must-see attractions in the area and directions to same. Was available for other queries as well. Our room was a blend of antique furniture (comfortable bed!) and modern bathroom. A/C & heat both worked well. Great ambience!

This was our first B&B stay. The house sits on a corner just a couple of blocks from William & Mary stadium. Although there was quite a bit of traffic and a home football game the weekend we stayed, we heard next to nothing! The bedrooms were very quiet and the bed was very comfortable. A con would be the wi-fi is very splotchy at best and I wish they had a small floor fan in each for a little air circulation but mostly for the white noise at night. Overall a great experience and I would recommend.

I had a great stay. Breakfast each morning was great. The owner was very friendly and helpful with advice about things to do in the area. The property was great and the rooms were nice with comfy beds. Great option if you want to explore the area. Dining options within walking distance and a nice walk over to the market shops at Colonial Williamsburg.

The location is great: a quiet, clean, safe neighborhood close to the historic part of the William & Mary campus. (If you arrive late at night/have to leave early in the morning the 24-hour WAWA is less than a 10-minute walk away.) The Manor is beautiful and cozy. I was very happy with my room and the thoughtful check-in instructions. Wi-fi works well! I didn't get to try the legendary breakfast but Scott was very accommodating. My visiting family was also very impressed! I would love to come back.

Cozy and convenient
This cozy B&B is just around the corner from William & Mary and a short drive to Colonial Williamsburg. The rooms are spacious and the beds among the most comfortable on our month-long road trip. The breakfast is pre-determined (no menu) and brought in from a source off-site, but homemade and delicious. Owner Scott is enthusiastic and welcoming.

Perfect place to stay in Williamsburg
We travel to Williamsburg to celebrate my 65th birthday and thoroughly enjoyed staying at magnolia b&b. We were upgraded to a suite which was absolutely huge and gorgeous. There was the opportunity to buy wine baskets which were extremely reasonably priced. Breakfast was fun as our host made jam filled French toast. Couldn't ask for anything more

Meh
Scott was not available at check in, so I called him. The room was not clean: dust and stains on furniture, walls, and shower curtains. The bed linens and towels all smelled like mold. There was only a small amount of soap in the soap dispenser and one roll of toilet paper. This place does not seem kept up or cleaned regularly. It’s as if he does the bare minimum to keep it going. There was a live air wig bug in the coffee pot. I would not stay here again or recommend this BNB to anyone.
