Hornsby House Inn

My husband and I stayed in the Monument Room for three nights and had a lovely time! The room is very large, with a fireplace, access to the large balcony with lounge chairs for warm weather, a king and two single beds, and sitting area! The house was decorated for Christmas so particularly appealing with all the antiques already interesting to see. We had a self-check in and essentially felt like the house was our own as only a few rooms were occupied. We had a delivery of a delicious steak dinner from the only high level restaurant in Yorktown in front of the fire, with our bottle of wine and it was perfect. The three breakfasts were beyond fabulous with great coffee and company. David, one of the owners whose family has had the house for many years, gave us an amazing history of Yorktown, the Revolutionary War, and the house itself on our first day, which was far better and nuanced than what is offered at the American Revolution Museum. Tom was a great host and my husband was thrilled to play the lovely Steinway in preparation for a concert he is performing in March. Highly recommend!

Read through so many reviews of hotels in the area and couldn’t find anywhere to stay with exceptional reviews until I came across the Hornsby Inn. After reading the reviews and experiencing staying here myself I can’t say enough good things! The Hornsby Inn is so quaint, clean, and gave us such a personable experience. The breakfast was amazing and so was the view. The Inn is surrounded by so much history and near the water with a nice area of shops and restaurants. We will definitely be returning 😊

Hornsby was a wonderful place to stay. Close to Yorktown Battlefield NP, Jamestown NP & Colonial Williamsburg. Stay there, and use it as a home base to see it all. The breakfast was delicious, and it feels like staying in a home. We will stay here again. Lovely to walk around the neighborhood too.

Tranquility! The Inn is beautiful, the staff are outstanding they go above and beyond. Best nights sleep in 8 months (the pillows are a dream). Elegance and charm! Stepping back in time. Thank you!!!!

Lovely 1930s grand house smack dab in the middle of historic Main St. I stayed in the ground floor carriage house right outside the main house. My room was well-appointed with a comfortable bed and sitting chairs. I had access to the house which is decorated much as it was when innkeeper David was growing up living in the house his grandfather built. Breakfast was complete, delicious, and served promptly at 8:45 during which David regaled us with stories of the house and a brief history of Yorktown. The behind the scenes work was done by the team of Tom, Kat, and Lexi all of whom were friendly and ran a tight ship. I was fortunate to be around for the Friday wine and cheese happy hour which was a nice touch. The grounds are vast with lots of seating both on the porch and throughout the yard, it didn’t hurt that I had gorgeous weather. Park your car and enjoy walking around the town. What a delightful place, I would definitely visit again.

Loved this Bed & Breakfast Inn, walking distance to pub and other places to eat. The inside was beautifully decorated and felt very safe. Best part was the wonderful breakfast we were served every morning and owner coming to breakfast one morning to give us the history of the house and other events in Yorktown. Highly recommend this place.

Just completed a 2 day business meeting using the Hornsby House as the main venue. The layout of the house enabled us to have breakouts that were conversational. It was refreshing and delightful to be in a quaint home. The staff is lovely. Breakfast was terrific. Rooms were great. Also tremendous flexibility in allowing us to bring in snacks and beverages.

Always love to come here. Great breakfasts, friendly staff. I got in late one night and would recommend more lighting. I could hardly pick the house out. Will come back.

This was an excellent stay. Due to the heat wave our room was upgraded at no charge to a cooler more spacious room. Breakfast was very tasty and the service was very caring. At breakfast we were greeted by the owner himself David Hornsby. He gave us a historical telling of the Hornsby House along with historical facts of the area with respect to the Revolutionary War. It was wonderful. Would definitely stay here again and we plan to do a special event here too.
