    We really enjoyed the home and the grounds. Beautiful porches with a lot of seating, rocking chairs and a swing. I loved walking around the yard and the garden. The bed was very comfy and our room was quiet.the breakfast was delicious!

    We had the suite and we thoroughly enjoyed the extra space. The breakfast was outstanding! You may want to have them prepare you dinner as there are few restaurants in the area. I think they require 72 hour notice for dinner.

    The inn was not as frilly and fancy as some B&Bs, and that was fine with us. We enjoyed relaxing there

    The room was clean and comfortable, especially the bed and extra-soft sheets. The location was perfect for us. It was so quiet and relaxing, I wish we could have stayed longer. We needed to leave early & the innkeeper accommodated us with breakfast to go.

    I can't think of anything I didn't like about the place. The place was beautifully maintained. It was every thing that was advertised on line. I look forward in coming back when I don't have to work long days to enjoy another stay at the Babcock House.

    I loved the location, it was near my activities. The comfort of the room and house was excellent. It was peaceful, after working the event for 10 hours It was great to come to the Babcock house and set and rest. It was like I was home. The place was beautifully maintained. It was every thing that was advertised on line. I look forward in coming back when I don't have to work long days to enjoy another stay at the Babcock House.

    The (overpriced)Wine was corked, my friend drank it any way. While I appreciate the hand crafted toiletries, the conditioner smelled rancid.

    I enjoyed the plants, antiques, friendliness, historical info, food. Overall, the atmosphere is fabulous and I would stay here again.

    This is a beautiful bed and breakfast, hosted by the owners in the historic town of Appomattox. The house is lovely, a beautifully renovated home in the vernacular of the area in the 1800s. The food was excellent as one of the owners is an accomplished chef. This is definitely worth a stop!

    Not much at all to improve. Such a fine old historic inn w/ history.  The balcony out front is for all guests and not attached to one room. There was capsule coffee upstairs in the hall. The Rebecca room, no 4, had a double bed, not a queen. I think the rooms surrounding ours (3,5,6) seemed to offer queen beds, with 5 and 6 being on back corner thus having very sunny windows. But honestly you can’t go wrong at Babcock House!

    Babcock house is the ultimate bed and breakfast experience. In a historic home in Appomattox, we enjoyed tremendous breakfasts after our nights in the Rebecca room on second floor. We enjoyed the balcony over the front porch as a storm began to set in. We read the reviews about dinner, so we then booked a reservation for Friday night supper. It lives up to all these reviews! The dinner menu was full of delicious options, and I can tell each was well prepared based on our two choices that evening. The cocktails were innovative. For what we were served, it was very reasonably priced. The breakfast came with the room, which was also an excellent package. One morning was, sausage, eggs and grits but with a twist. Another was French baguette, pancake with strawberry syrup and bacon. I can give kudos to this and keep a couple for knowing how to treat guests so they will come back. We spoke with another couple who comes three or four times a year from about an hour away. I think that speaks volumes!!

    Lovely house. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful. The bed was very comfortable with nice linens. There was coffee and tea available any time upstairs. There was a nice front balcony and an additional sitting room where you can read. The breakfast was excellent. There was homemade hash with eggs or French toast with some of the best bacon that they make themselves. I would definitely return.
