Little Downton Abbey at Meander
If you want to have a relaxing, calming unwinding time, I highly recommend staying at this little “Downton Abbey at Meander”. I had wonderful one night stay at The Inn & Tavern. At the arrival, Daniel, the general manager was making sure I had everything and showed me around the grounds and told about the history of the place. There is a beautiful and easy trail along the river that is worth checking out. I wished I hadn’t skipped the dinner, since the breakfast was delicious. The whole staff was very polite and kind. A+++

Historical Getaway with Fine Dining
A one-night getaway that feels like a long weekend in a faraway time. Daniel is a true host in old-world Inn & Tavern style. Our cabin accommodations complete with wood fire in the grate, wonderful walks right out our door through the extensive Meander grounds (paths by the Robinson River) and quiet—so quiet—that we slept well & deeply. The restaurant, a one-minute walk from our door, is excellent. Both the three-course dinner (though it was fine also to order a La carte) and the breakfast are top notch. We recommend the whole experience! (My husband, who is a Civil War scholar, even found things to investigate right on the property!)

Christmas Eve stay
Cute and comfortable inn stay on a beautiful plantation property that looks over the Virginia hills. The staff was warm and hospitable for a Christmas Eve day. The property has a manicured trail that we took our dog along that made for a leisurely stroll after our delicious breakfast that is included in the inn stay night costs.

Property was beautiful. Very well maintained. It was definitely historical and old but modernized in all of the right places. Staff was very friendly, informative, and helpful. Dinner was a bit expensive but worth it. Breakfast was nice but my wife's eggs tasted more like salt than eggs. They re-made them and they were much better. Server was very polite but we had to ask for things a couple of times. I think he was new and still learning but very pleasant and helpful. We would stay here again.

It's a very old historic property that comes with all related design issues. But it's wonderful to stay here in these surroundings. The beds are comfortable, the balconies are nice to relax on and enjoy the beauty that nature has to offer. The food was excellent! But I have to say that all the staff were wonderful and very, very attentive, even on such a busy weekend that we went. such a relaxing time in a beautiful building, with great food, and wonderstaff. Would definitely recommend.
