Reviews
- JaneFeb 6, 2022History, Nature, and Dog Lover's Paradise!
We found the rest, relaxation, and renewal we needed during our 2-night stay with Greg and Jennifer at their historic 1854 Essex Inn. Kudos to a couple who decided to restore and open an inn during the pandemic! Greg is a former history teacher, dedicated to exploring, interpreting, and sharing the history of the inn and Tappahannock. Behind the house is a building which housed servants and enslaved people, where guests with dogs stay. Inside the main house and its restored rooms, he serves a huge breakfast of locally sourced produce, eggs, meats and sausage. I fell in love with the espresso machine! We enjoyed everything from hiking trails in wildlife preserves to historic sites like Menokin and Stratford Hall, and the range of down-home to fine dining in Tappahannock and nearby Warsaw. This was just the fun, relaxing, break we needed!
