Very comfortable bed clean room, great breakfast and coffee Alva was a wonderful host. They had a deck in front even when it was raining we could enjoy being out and seeing for beautiful estate.

Alva is a very gracious host. I had to book this last minute to deal with a sick relative. She really wasn’t expecting a guest. Made me an amazing breakfast (early) that stood me the long car ride home. Thank you (again)-second time I’ve been in this situation!

The outside could have been set up. Maybe not open for season?

Had to run home for an emergency after the first night. Will be back for a longer stay.

The breakfast was excellent. Tasty, and beautifully presented. It was a delight to have such a lovely meal served in a truly beautiful dining room. The home was beautiful the guest suite large and very comfortable. We sat in the lovely garden and enjoyed the afternoon. Margaret was so gracious and was helpful in finding a place for us to have dinner. We enjoyed her sharing the history of her home. A truly wonderful experience.

I recently read about Ma Margarets House Bed and Breakfast in a magazine article, so when my daughter and I decided to explore the Northern Neck area of Virginia, I knew where I wanted to stay. Alva was very responsive and welcoming from the moment we made our reservation. When we arrived, she greeted us personally and gave us a brief history of her storied family, Victorian – style, home. Be sure to check out the old Victrola! Our rooms were clean and beautifully appointed, and we both slept soundly. The next morning, we were greeted with a delicious, hearty breakfast in the formal dining room. The homemade sweet potato biscuits were particularly outstanding. If you find yourself in the area, perhaps for a trip to nearby Tangier Island, make your reservation. Alva also provides local catering, and her B&B would be a beautiful setting for a wedding or other celebration.

Nothing. It was pretty perfect.

Stayed two nights and the breakfasts were the best that we have ever had on the road and were served elegantly. The location was a short drive to good restaurants and perfect for anyone doing genealogy for Northumberland county as it is close to Heathsville where records are located. Ma Margaret’s House is historic, romantic, and furnished beautifully. The owner, Alva Jackson, could not have been nicer. As a guest, you feel the love and care that she has put into remaking her grandma’s house into the wonderful bed and breakfast that it is today, and my husband felt the same way. We can’t wait to go back!!!n

Wish we had more time to stay. It was like we were being hosted by wonderful friends.

Beautiful setting outside and inside! Furnished with gorgeous and comfortable pieces. Spectacular customized breakfast for special dietary requirement.

My husband and I spent our 6th wedding anniversary at Ma Margaret's! Our experience was amazing. Ms. Alva was most hospitable and even surprised us with a lovely token. The home was lovely, quaint and well-maintained, for exception of a few spiderwebs on the outside entrance way. As someone with aracnaphobia, I was only able to walk in griping my hubby. The breakfast was excellent, savory and fulfilling. I loved how clean the rooms were and the accommodations were all comfortable and welcoming. Thank you again for a positively memorable stay!

All the rooms were occupied yet we did not hear another person until we came down for breakfast. The food and presentation were phenomenal! We had a delightful conversation with the other guests. Our visit was very peaceful and relaxing.

A lovingly restored grandparents’ farm house radiates warmth and positive energy in a picturesque and tranquil countryside.

We originally reserved a room with a king bed. Because a family was coming, we were transferred to a "suite" with a queen bed and, supposedly, were to get a $100 refund. I'm not sure we ever received that. Also, the "suite" was quite small.

Breakfast the first day was awesome! However, on the second day, because of the limited breakfast hours, we were unable to partake, due to having to arrive at the airport.

Stayed in May 2023

We could not figure out the TV; also, the width of the room near the bed was very narrow making it a bit awkward.

Breakfasts were awesome! Great variety, quality, taste. No complaints at all.
