The Richard Johnston B&B was wonderful!! It is a beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of historic Fredericksburg. The breakfasts were so fresh and delicious!! Staff is helpful and very friendly. The rooms are full of antiques, roomy and clean. Always fresh baked cookies in the living area. We would defiantly recommend the Richard Johnson!!

The Inn has been there since the mid to late 1700s, and served a decisive purpose during the Battle of Fredericksburg during the Civil War. The facility is very nicely decorated with mostly period-style furnishings, with very comfortable beds. The other accouterments, such as the wine and cheese charcouterie board and the early departure breakfast, made our very short stay a pleasant experience.

The Richard Johnston Inn is a historic inn with loads of charm. We stayed in the Virginian room, furnished with antiques and modern amenities, alike. The Inn is supposed to be haunted but we felt no ghostly presence! Rather, the warm welcome from the super friendly and efficient staff, plus the delicious, freshly cooked breakfast, made us feel completely at home. Highly recommended for a short getaway or as a base for exploring the surrounding area.
