The Farmhouse at Veritas

This was our second time staying at the Farmhouse at Veritas. We love this charming B& B set in Virginia wine country. Our room was spacious, well-decorated and clean and overlooked the vineyards. The people running the Farmhouse are friendly and accommodating and make you feel right at home. The food--including a 3 course dinner and breakfast, was outstanding. They make some of the best croissants I've ever had, and that includes many I've had in France. Oh, and the daily chocolate chip cookies are to die for! We look forward to returning.

An absolutely superb experience, from start to finish, every detail of our stay was excellent, nothing overlooked Our room, Cornwall was lovely, spacious, with a cozy seating area The public gathering rooms are beautifully decorated, a nice spot to enjoy the nightly wine hour, which was an opportunity to meet & converse with other guests Dinner was served in one of the formal dining areas-service was impeccable & each course was gourmet, Chef came to each dining room to interact with guests Breakfast was served on the lovely porch, with chef explaining each choice Cannot say enough about the staff, Jonathan greeted us upon arrival, was professional & engaging. Dining staff was very attentive, not at all intrusive.

We visited to celebrate a birthday, and could not have asked for more! We checked in to our room (Cornwall) around 4.30pm. It was immaculate - very clean, spacious and with a reading 'nook' and plenty of storage. The bed is huge, and was so, so comfortable. It was complete with a variety of USB chargers for mobile phones and a wider range of complimentary toiletries and a bottle of wine - great details! There are plenty of other areas, outside of the room, to read/ relax - sofas, verandas, porch, garden etc. You instantly feel revived, and I wished we had arrived earlier! There were fresh cookies and coffee/tea/soft drinks available throughout our time, and a shared fridge for resident use too. 5-6pm is 'wine hour' in the 'Gathering Room' (a cozy lounge with fire, sofas, books and a billiard table) with complimentary wine and a plate of small nibbles each. The Farmhouse really does elevate "Bed and Breakfast" to a whole new (fantastic) level! The evening meal (which you can book without staying), officially began at 6.15pm with a glass of sparkling wine, before we moved to our tables. The 4-course meal (no choices, although they cater for allergies etc - that suited us fine) pairs wine with the food - we were pleased to be staying over rather than one of us having to abstain and drive! The meal was European in style - small, perfectly cooked and presented portions which were a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach. The service was slick and, apart from a small delay before we started, was very efficient. Breakfast the following morning was equally wonderful - sparkling wine, fresh orange juice and coffee, a croissant with homemade sweet cream cheese, fresh fruit followed by a choice of savoury or sweet 'main course'. As we left, we were sent away with a couple more cookies for the journey, and a lasting positive impression of a wonderful stay.
