Review: Colonial Houses

"Step back in time" at this property "right in the middle of the action" in Williamsburg’s historic area. Overlooking Duke of Gloucester Street, brick walkways, and charming gardens, accommodations in original and reconstructed eighteenth-century buildings come with reproduction period furnishings as well as trundle beds and wood-burning fireplaces; some are tucked under the eaves, enchanting parents and children alike. "We really felt like we were back in the 1700s, except luckily we had all the modern amenities." Dine on regionally inspired contemporary cuisine at the Regency Room, including crabmeat Randolph, or enjoy barbecue specialties like pulled pork sandwiches at Huzzah! BBQ Grille. The staff "are beyond accommodating, and the concierge service is the best of the best."
