Goodstone Inn & Restaurant

Absolutely beautiful property, Virginia Countryside at its finest. A wonderful retreat from modern day life.

The meal was sophisticated and delicious yet complicated to order, not presented in a way that you fully understood what you were about to receive.. For example, I ordered Foie Gras and duck brest. Both were sophisticated and well done but at the same time,not as good as I have had at other restaurants. Yet similarly priced. However, I might well return to this hotel again and believe that I would enjoy it more because it takes a while to understand how to operate within the property. it is a beautiful venue. And everyone is nice. It is a few miles from the heart of the very sophiticated shopping area and that it's a disadvantage.

Beautiful facilities. The Dutch Cottage, where we stayed in the Delphinium Suite, was extremely comfortable and well appointed. We attended a special event which was very well done. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend - we can’t wait to go back!

Booked this trip back in January to celebrate our 28th anniversary this weekend. Had lots of plans to relax at the pool along with a winery tour. Received a phone call the night before are stay that the pool would be closed from 2-midnight!!!! Right when we would return from our private driver tour and planned to lay at the pool and relax the rest of the day!! No time to cancel at this point. We scrambled and our driver was luckily able to accommodate our much later time frame. So, Friday we plan to spend laying at pool as well. All we hear is tent jackhammering for wedding, we get to look at high tops with plastic bags of table clothes all around pool, 80 chairs on the lawn, back and forth rehearsal, three sales tours, you get the point. We spent almost $2,000 for our two nights and had no peaceful pool which was our whole reason for coming. This morning we think, let’s go lay at the pool. Guess what? They removed all the loungers for the wedding and didn’t put the back; horrible!! Stallion Suite was perfect. Lobby and restaurant, beautiful. We had dinner at conservatory and decide to sit in bar after for a drink and a game. Two young girl employees were laughing so loud the entire time (just ask the bartender) there was no relaxation there either!! At pool an ice truck idled behind us for over an hour…. Noisy!!! Please tell drivers not to idle at pool. I could go on unfortunately….. just feel like this wedding made our money unimportant to this place this weekend. So disappointed in the amount of money we spent to relax and couldn’t.

There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe being at Goodstone Inn. The attention to details in the room, the amenities staff- Everything was the perfect vacation getaway spot. We had dinner and breakfast there. Food was delicious, chef did a wonderful accommodation for my wife who is vegetarian and the dining room are terrific.

My wife and I have been to Goodstone twice now over the past few years (most recently for a wedding this past weekend). Both experiences have been incredible -- from the grounds (whether relaxing by the pool, enjoying a drink by the fire pit, taking in the incredible Virginian vista, or canoeing down the river), to the gourmet dining (its own 5 star experience), to the extensive wine list (as a lover of red Bordeaux, I felt very much at home...), to the tasteful & elegant accommodations -- we couldn't recommend Goodstone more. For those looking to get married at Goodstone -- don't hesitate. The wedding ceremony and reception could not have been more beautiful, picturesque and memorable. You felt like you were in your own fairy tale. The staff at Goodstone are also extremely professional, helpful and hospitable... from check-in to check-out and everything in-between. Middelburg itself is a gem of a place (a much needed bucolic escape from the hustle & bustle of NYC... where we live). If we could give Goodstone 6 stars, we would. And we can't wait to come back. - Percy & Imogen
