Brides and grooms tie the knot here and remember year after year.

Seven individually styled rooms in a historic schoolhouse eclectically styled and hopelessly romantic, also with six quaint English cottages and lush grounds featuring flowers rarely seen in Virginia gardens today. Follow winding paths through authentic Victorian gardens, complete with a moon garden, which only blooms in the evening, and an outdoor shower (circa 1940) with a claw foot tub and sick in a totally private setting. Sweet strains of music continuously drift softly throughout the hotel and out over the grounds to the paths and gardens. All situated in a Chesapeake Bay waterfront village full of chic shops and 673 endearing people.

Cruise or sail onto the water with one of our own private Captains aboard a vintage Chesapeake Bay dead rise impeccably restored.

Soothe one’s senses and be pampered nearby at a full service spa or hone your golfing skills on three classic courses, all within a complimentary bike ride. There is no better place to be. Let us delight you. Stay with us and experience our trendy town. Even when it was a school it was a good place to sleep… now that its The Hope and Glory Inn, it’s a good place to wake up as well.
