Blue Ridge Manor Bed and Breakfast

Great place to stay. Our A/C not working at home . Wanted go to some place cool. Ended up at BLUE RIDGE MANOR B & B , great choice. Room was very comfortable. Our host Dave and Darlene were very welcoming . The breakfast was to die for. Fresh eggs cooked perfectly and the best muffing . Great place near Mount Airy and the Parkway.

Good points: clean comfortable room & bath. Nice hosts. Poor points: Pictures on the website make this look a lot more charming than it is. Exterior is messy, chickens, dogs, roosters everywhere. No landscaping to speak of. Not at all a “manor”, Basic breakfast..frozen waffles, but fresh eggs.

Lovely secluded property. Nicely furnished and spacious room. Good breakfast. We didn't see Delores very much but David is a delightful host. With only three guest rooms, David is able (and willing) to take time speaking with each guest. He is truly a nice, outgoing individual willing to share info about himself and his family history and also listen to your story. Thank you, David, it was so nice to meet you!

First let me say the couple who own and run this B&B are lovely welcoming caring people. That said the overall experience here was not as advertised, expected and in my experience on the lower end of hospitality for a B&B. To begin with, and they fully admit this, the place is hard to find and not an easy drive off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Its a twisty turny road into the mountains and the sign for the B&B at the foot of their long driveway is faded and hard to see, easily missed. This would be a nasty drive at night. The yard is full of chickens and clutter. Our room was large and clean but the mattress was uncomfortable and hard to sleep on, the bathroom was outside the bedroom door but in our case private and clean and well appointed. The website shows a picture of and talks about a large county breakfast typical of a great B&B. The breakfast we were served consisted of a small modest breakfast sandwich and a small bowl of fruit. We were not notified of any changes in breakfast offered or charged less for this as far as I know, so essentially it is plain false advertising. Also typical of a good B&B is some kind of an evening light dessert such as cookies, cake or chocolates along with coffee and teas. The Blue Ridge Manor had hot beverages but nothing else. So overall this place was a disappointment and modest at best. Unfortunately given our overall experience here, I cannot recommend it as living up to the website description. If you are a fan of B&B's and regular B&B guest I think you will be disappointed too. I'd look elsewhere for your stay in this area.

Contact well in advance and be prepared for no communication. This was the last stay of our honeymoon and the inkeepers left much to be desired due to Lack of communication we were unable to get into our room the first night. but the mountain view is incredible. the room itself was very cozy and there is a huge bathroom with standup shower only. Dietary needs are not provided and breakfast is not country style.

If you want a restful break, don't consider staying here... If I am on vacation and paying for bed and breakfast I do not expect to be told that I have to rise early and be seated at the table to eat breakfast at 8,30am. Future guests beware. Breakfast is plated for you. There is no choice. It will be cold if you are not at the table at 8.30am sharp. Don't go thinking that any dietary requirements will be taken to to account either. The room that we were allocated also had no storage space at all - not even one coat hanger for any clothes. Very poor. I have only scored this accommodation as a 2 rating because the bed was comfortable.
