Stay away
Pros:

The nightmare starts when you pull onto the 50 yard road to this large nice looking building. The road has more jarring potholes than a Mideast war torn city.
Sometimes someone is at the front desk to greet you. Other times you are on your own. Zero people running the place. Remember “the Shining “ movie?
Spooky and startling.
Last morning nobody showed up to prepare breakfast . We met 3 women who arrived the night before. Nobody at the front desk. One of their beds had no linen.
We had Big Foot and his wife in the room above us. We heard every move they made.
Apparently this place is owned by former F1 race driver. Someone needs to tell him his hotel has serious engine problems and needs help.

Pros:

Location was perfect and made us feel like we stepped away to Europe. We were too late for the complimentary wine flight, but they accommodated and gave us each a free glass.

Cons:

The only thing was that there was no mini fridge in our room - we had the Brittany. Not a dealbreaker but my dinner leftovers did not make it.

Pros:

The included wine tasting was nice.

Cons:

Restaurant on the property was closed during the week so we had to drive out and actually needed reservations on a Tuesday evening. WiFi was under construction and intermittent.

Pros:

The building was lovely. I like older buildings with unique furniture so it fit my idea of a nice place to stay. The staff were also very helpful and the breakfast area was nice. I wish that i had more time to read in the library

Cons:

Internet was horrible. I felt that I was on a desert island. This was also mentioned in a review. I can’t believe that Wedmore hasn’t solved this problem

This hotel needs a serious upgrade and thorough cleaning
Pros:

I would not recommend this hotel. The cleanliness is substandard throughout the hotel, overflowing trash cans, dirty floors, windows filthy. There was not any internet. Hotel receptionist acknowledged that internet was spotty, but as it turned out an upgrade is in progress, so not spotty....not available. Rooms are strangely furnished, hodgepodge of tables, chairs, etc. Our first room had no counter in the bathroom. Incredibly squeaky floor and bed! Very few hangers, furnishings broken, shower head broken, no ice machine, no mini fridge, coffee machine not working. Workout room had one elliptical, one treadmill, and a few small dumbbells. Moved to another room, no place to hang our clothes! We had the impression that the hotel is failing or severely neglected. Plants outside were dying, no landscaping. We decided to leave early, even though our third night was free. The one bright spot was a very nice lunch at the Tavern. I would not recommend this hotel until a serious upgrade has been confirmed.

Just Don’t!!
Pros:

The WiFi didn’t work and little phone service. Could not plan outings or even check the weather. The night staff was hard to find if you needed anything. We waited almost 30 minutes just to get checked in. Morning help didn’t arrive until 9:00 am. You had to go to a back door down steep steps to get in after 10:00 because no one was there on staff. Driveway was very rough. Breakfast was not great. Just an overall poor experience. Do not recommend. Very disappointing!!

New managers, MUCH poorer food, wine, service & property cleanliness
Pros:

We’ve been coming to Williamsburg Winery and the Wedmore for years. It has been one of our favorite weekend trips in Virginia for food, wine, ambiance, great facilities and superb staff.

Unfortunately, the Wedmore seems to be losing its touch.

We were there for three days in mid May and found way too many (new) negatives.

We found a used/opened, half-full wine bottle in our room at check in.

The wooden floor in the room was sticky for some reason. Like as if someone had spilled champagne and didn’t clean it up.

The breakfast service had changed from exquisite French continental to a more American same menu every day of frozen/processed items. One of the reviewers said it was like at a Holiday Inn. We’ve had breakfast at Holiday Inns—the food is fresher, more varied and overall better than what is currently being served at the Wedmore.

The wine tastings no longer feature the vineyard’s reserve offerings and now even include imported rather than local wines.

With a few notable exceptions, the staff no longer provide the five-star level of service that they provided in the past.

All in all, the magic that Patrick and Francoise Duffeler created with the winery, hotel and restaurants is now missing without their presence and the organizational culture that they engendered.

The overall ambiance now lacks the sense that one is at a vineyard somewhere in France rather than in Virginia. The zeitgeist at the property is now kind of sad.

We’ve been big supporters of the winery and even held a family reunion there once. But in its current incarnation, we don’t intend to return.

Wishing the new owners the best, but as of now it looks like they’re making a lot of unforced errors as they seem to be seeking to cut costs more than anything else.

Don't stay here until they figure out how to get Wifi...
Pros:

Great location, spacious room furnished with beautiful antiques, being onsite at the winery provides the opportunity for a wine tasting, which they do quite well.

Cons:

Three key issues for why you should NOT stay here:
1) No WiFi at this property. We were told at check-in that the WiFi is "sketchy," but in fact it was non-existent. Property is also a bit remote, so there is very little cell phone signal. Without WiFi, we were unable to even download email or to use the Internet to get any information. They have a list of 4 or 5 different networks that guests can log on to, but each time you log on to a network, the signal promptly drops and then you have to try another network. We just gave up after 30 minutes of typing in different passwords and always having the network immediately drop.

2) Water temperature in the shower is lukewarm at best. Also, for some reason, they have switched to hand-held showers and capped the wall-mounted shower head outlet...this results in having a hand-held shower mounted on the wall of the rather small shower stall so that the shower head is in your face (or for taller people, at chest level). Why did they get rid of the traditional shower mounted on the wall above the shower stall.

3) The breakfast is like being in a middle-school cafeteria. Very limited options and it can take forever to get coffee served at your table.

Pros:

The building itself was beautiful to look at. The winery tasting was lovely. The tavern dinner was good. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

We had no internet or cell service the entire weekend (we tried all Wi-Fi options. None would connect to the internet). Very frustrating and inconvenient. Coffee by Keurig on the base level as the only option before 8am. Lotion and Conditioner containers empty. Shower was lukewarm. Not great after our 30 mile bike ride. We really had high hopes for our weekend here, sadly very disappointed.

Not a good place to stay
Pros:

We just got back from the Wedmore Place. We were there for a wedding in Williamsburg. While we were there, we had NO internet access or television access. The place is old which is fine, but we were on the first floor. When the people in the room above us walked we could hear every creak of the floor. The noise from a party down the hall came blaring through the vent. There are a million places to stay in Williamsburg. We do not recommend this hotel.

A wonderfully unique European style experience in a vineyard with winery
Pros:

This is the only place we stay on the numerous occasions we travel to Williamsburg. Unlike the many generic hotels in the area, this winery hotel achieves a European like experience with unique rooms, antiques, wooden floors, real rugs, comfortable beds, and a wonderful breakfast.

Cons:

Just know that this is a smaller hotel that is not staffed later in the evening.
