This house was a true treasure that kept on unfolding- very spacious with so many places to congregate if you have a larger group. The decor was so intriguing almost like a museum! Our group of 6 women was very comfortable and we felt very safe. The breakfast and especially the chef was an added delight- he was so accommodating and engaging.I cannot recommend this Williamsburg Sampler highly enough.

Rented the entire house for family get together and it was a wonderful experience. The house is beautiful, breakfast every morning was delicious and varied and was very close to Busch Gardens, Water Country and Colonial Williamsburg. All three generations had a fantastic time.

Best in Williamsburg!

Our second time staying at the Williamsburg Sampler and not our last. Laura and Stephanie are a great team as hostesses. The accommodations are great, every convenience is provided and you make a mistake if you don't take time to enjoy the wonderful breakfasts. My favorite B&B!

We had an amazing family stay at the Sampler! We were in town for our son's winter graduation from W & M. We rented the entire house and could not have been happier with the accommodations or the host. The house was so cozy and festively decorated for Christmas. Val provided amazing hospitality with a personal touch that made us feel warm, comfortable and relaxed. She made a delicious breakfast each day, which was enjoyed at the big dining table by our group. We had a lovely graduation party one evening of our stay and Val attended to our every need with so much care. Thank you to everyone at the Sampler for making our stay so special and memorable. We can't wait to come back!

Amazing stay for a birthday celebration! Beautiful and conveniently located BNB with so many trinkets to admire.

Viking friends reunited

All ten of us couldn’t have been more pleased! Breakfast was outstanding every morning. The location was very walkable to historic Williamsburg and easy drive to other tourists areas. Wonderful large living room where all of us could gather. There was a nice outdoor area but the weather didn’t cooperate. Definitely would recommend.

We loved this bed and breakfast. Laura responded to any question we had before we arrived. Stephanie cooked the most wonderful breakfast every morning. We are 4 senior women who travel together each year, and this was one of our favorite stays! I would recommend it to anyone.

Williamsburg Sampler is Stupendous

Rented this property for a family getaway between Christmas and New Year. The property was absolutely gorgeous and plenty of room for our family of 9. Breakfast was prepared every morning by Stephanie, which was delicious and consumed with vigor by the 4 picky teenagers. The location of the property was a short walking distance to Colonial Williamsburg area which was perfect. Will definately be back.

Such a cool place!

We loved this bed and breakfast! So many neat things to check out. Very cool antique items! The rooms were comfortable and clean. Our host was phenomenal! So nice and welcoming. We had fresh breakfast made every morning while we were there. My husband was sad we had to leave and wanted to know who would make such yummy breakfasts for him now. lol. We had a great time!

Fabulous property-very large and located near historic district

This was a vacation with my daughter, Granddaughter and her husband and their two year old daughter. The high chair and portable crib made having a toddler easy. The weather was delightful - sunny and mild for Christmas weekend and we were in walking distance to historic area. This peaceful place made the sadness of losing my husband in June and my daughters husband last Christmas bearable.

Well Worth The Expence

We (6 adults & 1 teen) enjoyed having a whole house forour family. There were 5 spacious bedrooms with privatebaths. There was plenty of hot water. The best was having Becky come in and make a fantastic breakfast every morning. (She even fixed gluten free items for me and my daughters.)The house was easy to find coming from Richmond.It is advertised as a short walk to Market Square in Williamsburg but that really was about a mile walk.I so appreciate this Bed and Breakfast.Sincerely, J.

BEST EVER B&B!!!

I highly recommend renting this property. I travel quite a bit (work, vacation & workcations) and I can honestly say that Williamsburg Sampler has been my favorite place to stay. I will continue to request this rental when I go to the Williamsburg area and will refer (have referred to several people already) anyone going to the Williamsburg area to the Williamsburg Sampler! I took my family of 10 plus 2 little fur babies on this vacation. Everyone from ages 9 - 80 years old had such a wonderful time and loved this property plus the wonderful breakfast that Stephanie cooked us each morning. And the wonderful conversations with Stephanie! Thank you so much Laura and Stephanie for a wonderful stay. And I want to add that Stephanie is completely the most awesome host! We now consider her part of our family!

We enjoyed our stay

We rented the whole house for a week for ourselves and our two daughters' young families, eight people total, ages 2 months to 68 years. The suites worked for the kids with parents, the regular rooms for the rest of us. (We expected extra guests who had to cancel but could have fit.) Breakfast provided every morning by the same very friendly woman. She made normal, good breakfasts, something a little different every day, not hoity-toity gourmet ("what is this?") food. She noted our needs and preferences without running menus past us. Even the 2- and 3-year olds were able to find something they could get into each day. The coffee machine was the biggest hit with the 5 adults. The whole place is lovely but too packed with art and memorabilia for our little guys on top of which Christmas decorations had been put up, all way too tempting for little grabby hands. A couple of the ceiling light fixtures are hung too low. We had some bruised skulls among our crew. Watch out! The location is pretty good, a nice neighborhood, not very far from attractions but it was not as walkable as we had hoped it would be for the kids. Walking from the b&b to Colonial Williamsburg wasn't bad––but then you needed to still have enough stamina to be able to walk around Colonial Williamsburg! The house has several nice areas for sitting together inside and also outside if the weather is nice. Grocery stores, a drug store are nearby but not walking distance. All in all we had a good stay.
