Briar Patch Bed & Breakfast

Wonderful venue for weddings. Nice owners.we can cater for you.www.capitalcuisinecaterers.com Louiethecaterer@gmail.com

We had a wonderful stay at this gorgeous B&B! Lovely owners, rooms were beautiful & nicely decorated. We would stay here again! Highly recommend this venue for events also we attended our Hunt Ball & didn't want to have to drive home so it was just perfect!

What an experience to stay in such a beautiful historic space! The hospitality was great and the room was cozy and a wonderful fresh cut fruit bowl, eggs and coffee for for breakfast!

Ellen and Dan are incredible hosts! The bed and breakfast is so cozy, and the event space is so beautiful. Our room was very spacious and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay, and can't way to come back.

Dan & Ellen are absolutely the most genuine, kind, supportive, caring business owners! I run WeddingVenueOwners.com and we had a tour group that came from all over the country to tour wedding venues in Middleburg. On the way to a scheduled tour, the venue manager texted me and cancelled. I called Briar Patch and before I could get 3 sentences out Dan was inviting me to stop by!

It's full swing wedding season and I know he had a million things to do that day but he put me and my group above anything else. If he is willing to do that for a business group, imagine how incredibly well they treat their event clients. I just can't thank Dan & Ellen enough. I am so thankful to you both for being such kind and friendly wedding venue owners.

I know that you have been long time supporters of local business and community. Its not every day that you get to experience such gracious hospitality. If you are engaged I highly recommend Briar Patch Bed & Breakfast for many reasons: Middleburg historic charm, gorgeous wedding venue with beautiful design details (the chandeliers are stunning), the views are amazing, they have so much to offer and you can depend on them! Thank you so much Dan, you have no idea how much we appreciate you.

We had a voucher to stay at Briar Patch from a silent auction win. It was a lovely experience. Dan was very accommodating and made us an amazing breakfast.

Stayed at Briar Patch for a friend's wedding this weekend. It was a great venue for the wedding. The ceremony was up the hill near the horses; afterwards, we walked down the gravel road to the patio for cocktail hour, then inside the beautiful dining room for dinner. Dancing was in the front foyer later in the night. After we were tired, we walked the few minutes to our room in the Hen Coop where it was surprisingly quiet even though the party kept going until 2. Had a great time at this B&B.

Cute, clean lodgings; excellent hosts; delicious food; dog-friendly; and close to everything you'd want to do around Middleburg! We chose Briar Patch because we could bring our dogs, and we were delighted with every aspect of our stay. We will be coming back!

We stayed at the Bed and Breakfast for a different reason but if you are planning a wedding there are a LOT of options that seem to make this potentially a very good pick. There are quarters for many guests and family and all of the lodging is very close to each other and the event center.

Briar Patch is my favorite place to stay when going wine tasting. It is the perfect location, and the hosts always make sure we have a great time. We held our daughter's Bat Mitzvah there almost 5 years ago and our friends still comment what a wonderful time they had. I would highly recommend a stay at Briar Patch!

My partner and I had a delightful stay at the Briar Patch. Dan was a wonderful host although he was challenged by a staff shortage due to the effects of Covid-19 he managed to get our room ready, take us on a 4 hour wine tour, made dinner arrangements provide transportation to and from our dinner and served us breakfast the next day. We plan another visit to this quaint location in the fall.

My husband and I stayed in the cottage for an overnight getaway. Upon our arrival we noticed that the room was not very clean - things like dust, bugs, pieces of hair, etc. were left about - it truly didn't even look like things had been minimally wiped down or swept up for some time. The couch was as hard as a rock and the queen size bed was soft, and really caved in on one side.

We got a terrible night's sleep. There were other little things - for example, the screen in the door on the back was broken, and repaired with blue painters tape. There was a perfect fist sized hole in the wall near the bedroom door. The vaulted ceilings are sprayed with foam insulation which is painted over. These types of things are easily fixable and would work to improve the aesthetic and overall quality of the quarters, but clearly not of concern to the owners.

I am all for rustic charm but the cottage is very out of date and could use some serious maintenance. The breakfast in the morning consisted of some old tasting broccoli quiche, premade and reheated pancakes and mushy fruit salad. It was quite disappointing. The owners did seem nice, so it's hard to leave a bad review, but if your life's calling is to run a bed and breakfast - and for the highway robbery price of close to $300/night, it should be the best bed and the best breakfast there is to offer.

This stay wasn't worth $100 for the night. We had the overnight gifted to us by my brother and his wife. If we had paid the price ourselves I would have honestly been really upset. Save your money.

Wow. This place is a nightmare. The owners are rude, the place is run down & dirty, and you do not get what you pay for. After booking the cottage for a weekend, our party arrived to run down, cold, filthy accommodations. It made me sad that a weekend in Middleburg got off on such a bad foot. The website was incredibly misleading, displaying a gorgeous inn tucked in among wineries and the horse country of Virginia.boy were we wrong. Briar Patch was the opposite of what we expected. Do not recommend.

I am not sure how this place has such good reviews. I booked a getaway for my parents and when they arrived for their stay in the cottage it was filthy. There were dirty dishes, a broken window with glass on the floor, the hot tub was broken, and so many other things. I was devastated as this was a birthday gift for them. The owners were completely. clueless and acted as if it was not a big deal.

When I called to chat with them, the owner screamed at me on the phone and hung up. The website and social accounts of this B&B are deceptive and misleading. Do not give this place your business!

Wonderful accommodations and dog friendly! We stayed for the weekend with our 2 dogs and had a great time. Lots of land to explore and Ellen was a wonderful host. We stayed in the cottage and we were surprised at how large the rooms are. It's nestled between the main house and the "chicken coop" right off from the pool. Very quiet and restful but also just a few miles from many shops, restaurants and wineries. Can't wait for our next stay!

My husband and I had a very disappointing experience at the Briar Patch B&B. We rented the cottage for privacy and safety due to COVID. The shower has mold and the light fixture was filled with dead bugs. The kitchen had other people's leftovers. We had selected the wine special and never even got the wine glasses. Our tour guide ran off the road twice.

Breakfast on day one had half hour lapses between courses and we never got breakfast the second day. It was a huge disappointment. When I raised our concerns they said "we can't please everyone" and that was it. No offer of a refund or discount. Even after we submitted the pictures I am attaching here. Save yourself the headache and do not go to the Briar Patch!

My fiance and I stayed here for one night after visiting a few of the wineries in the area. We stayed in the Iris room - it was spacious, clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and the hosts are very friendly. We would definitely stay at Briar Patch B&B again.

The property is lovely, and the cottage was spacious and a welcome private refuge. Pool out back was large and refreshing, although the hot tub was out of order. However, I was uncomfortable with the apparent lack of COVID precautions. Dirty dishes and leftover food remained in the cottage from the previous guests (staff suggested I should help myself to the food instead of offering to remove it), which made me wonder about the overall cleaning protocols in place.

Staff didn't wear a mask in any encounter. No choice of what to eat for breakfast. And it sounded like an animal scratched in/at the walls all night, making for a disrupted night of sleep. I know times are tough right now and can see why others have liked this property, but would have a hard time recommending it for a rare night away during the pandemic.

We just got back home from our 3rd stay at Briar Patch. I love & adore everything about this place and those who own, run, and work at the Bed & Breakfast. We always feel so welcome and comfortable. I want to especially thank Dan, part owner, (who seemed to be the only one onsite working this past weekend) for cooking breakfast every morning, washing dishes, laundry, stocking the toiletries and towels; he did everything. Cannot wait for our next visit.

The Briar Patch Farm Bed and Breakfast was a delight to have for my wedding engagements! The professionalism from staff, decor, and spacious living quarters made our stay as well as our family and friends stay a memorable one. I would recommend it to anyone seeking grounds for large or small events.

Briar Patch was exactly what my boyfriend and I needed after a stressful semester in college. The decor, snacks, and genuine vibe from the owners all contributed to the home away from home feeling that we search for when finding a hotel/bnb. The owner was happy to tell us the history of the house and surrounding area, which was extremely interesting. We LOVED the wine from the vineyard and had so much fun feeding and conversing with the horses. There is no doubt that we will be back again, thanks Briar Patch!

I can not say enough about the staff! They were all very helpful and very accommodating. It was pet friendly.

I've been to 5 different BNB's and have always had great experiences. I must say this one was the most disappointing. To start with the gentleman that checked us in and showed us to our room, told a very unprofessional and insulting joke. It was a terrible introduction to someone who had never been to this bnb previously. I won't share the very poor tasting and inappropriate joke but it was better served for him to share with a friend opposed to a guest at his bnb.

The overall look of the property needs some sprucing up. It's on a nice property but the aesthetics are outdated and lacking. Lastly, the breakfast was absolutely terrible. Usually the best thing about a bnb is the breakfast. The ones I've previously stayed in usually give a few options to choose from. This one fell far short. The main hot meal was some sort casserole consisting of potatoes, cheese and sour cream concoction.

It didn't look very appetizing but I gave it a try nonetheless. To say the least is pretty disgusting. I ended up eating the very cold mini pancakes that were left on the counter and some fruit. Despite the other good reviews I saw, i would not recommend this place to anyone, nor will I be making a return visit.

I was honored to be ask to handle the "Hair" for longtime close friend and family members wedding and they had basically acquired the whole inn for the nuptials events. It was breathtaking and so quaint. I loved the venue as well as celebrating my little sister new life with her husband!

Pros: Clean and quaint room in the Chicken Coop, updated private bathroom, easy parking and check-in Cons: On our first full day at Briar Patch, there was some kind of wedding event for couples interested in the venue. Guests were not escorted, and two walked right into our private bedroom! Totally inappropriate that they were not escorted by the owners and allowed to roam freely, even into our bedroom.

On our second morning, I was sleeping in after being at a wedding the evening prior, and we had lost an hour of sleep due to daylight savings. Needless to say, I wasn't able to get any rest, thanks to the dog staying in the room right next door to our's! While I don't blame the dog for barking nonstop, why would one allow guests to have a dog in such private living quarters?!?

I called, and Ellen's husband said, "I don't know what you want me to do about it. The owners of the dog probably left to go to breakfast. You should walk down the hill and say something to them." Really?!? I also emailed Ellen on Sunday to follow up with her, and while I received an email saying she would call me, it has now been 5 days with no response. Sadly, we would not recommend this B&B.

While the place itself is not bad, there are some major kinks that need to be worked out. We unfortunately did not experience the relaxing weekend getaway we were hoping for.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Briar Patch B&B! The owners are professional and friendly. We attended a wine tasting Friday evening, along with some delicious appetizers by Chef Bernard Henry. The wines all paired with the amazing appetizers! Saturday evening, we attended a dinner/cooking class offered by the same chef! There were 5-6 courses with the same wine we tasted from 3 Fox Vineyard!

All the gourmet food and wine was absolutely delicious! We loved our stay in the hyacinth room; our good friends stayed in the lilac room, with the sharing Jack and Jill bathroom. The rooms are very spacious with a beautiful ambiance. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot breakfasts prepared each morning. Coffee, pancakes, quiche, potatoes casserole, bagels, juice, yogurts.

All delicious! Also, snacks and chocolates were throughout the house. We certainly loved the cooking and food, but meeting all the people staying at the Briar Patch, made our weekend. We now have some terrific new friends, for sure! Would love to return.

What a picturesque and rustic venue with all thr comforts of home. We had a flawless weekend as friends and family enjoyed the wedding of our son and lovely bride. Thr staff were awesome and totally accommodating. Could not have imagined a better venue for planning for fun and taking the stress off the day

A great stay with my wife this past week. It's not far from DC. but just far enough! We had dinner in Middleburg, and went back the next day to see more of the town. Breakfast at Briar Patch was served in their kitchen, and there was outdoor seating as well. A nice combination of cold and hot food, and our room was just perfect!

The staff at BPB&B were so welcoming and accommodating. What my husband and I love most about our experience was that we felt as if we were on a secluded island. The property was not only beautiful, but very peaceful. BPB&B is our new spot for R&R! Can't wait to go back. Thanks for such a wonderful experience!

My best friend had her wedding here! Half Indian half American. this place was truly as great as it can get! Lovely venues only tens of feet from one another! The people who run it are lovely! We had a blast! Anyone with a big and beautiful event should have it here! It is just FABULOUS!

Very comfortable inn. We stayed in the chicken coop with a king size bed and private bathroom. No chickens but decorated very comfortably. Breakfast and service were both great.

We wanted a last-minute night away over Mother's Day weekend and luckily a room was available. The Hen Room was wonderful and attached to a kitchen with coffee/tea large fridge, dishes, snacks, drinks. Very clean, like-new accommodations. The large King bed was comfortable and the robes and towels to use were an added touch as we ended up spending the afternoon at the pool. It's a very serene setting and close to Middleburg and all it has to offer.

Thanks to Ellen for working with us last minute. Great place with our small dog. The breakfast was super good with a delicious potato casserole, pancakes, fresh fruit, etc. My husband is has celiac disease and so they prepared strictly gluten free items for him which was very nice and they were happy to do it. The young ladies helping out Ellen in the kitchen and around the property were very spunky, helpful and polite. Thank you.

Loved staying here! The location was perfect to venture to wineries and enjoy a dog friendly vacation. We went to downtown middleburg and it was very convenient. Helen was super friendly and accommodating along with the other women. For breakfast they served quiche that looked delicious along with a gluten free breakfast for myself including toast, eggs, fruit and yogurt with granola every morning. You are able to go feed to horses and have space to walk around the area. They also had a pool and hot tub for warmer seasons. We will definitely be back!

Like many others, we stumbled upon Briar Patch while researching dog-friendly B&Bs and we couldn't be happier with Briar Patch. The staff is warm, welcoming, and accommodating. It has the antique, quaint farm house charm and scenic grounds. They even provide carrots to go feed the horses in the barn. Breakfast was very good and it was an inviting atmosphere to strike up conversation with other guests or just chat with your companions They allow you keep your dog crated in certain rooms which is great but we brought ur pup everywhere because the little town of Middleburg and nearby Delaplane has a ton dog-friendly shops and wineries. Great location, beautiful grounds, warm staff. We will definitely be back on our next trip to northern VA wine country.

Briar Patch is quite a lovely venue for a wedding. The main house offers sleeping quarters for out of town relatives and guests and the one bedroom cottage is the perfect honeymoon suite. Renting out the entire site also offers a different feel from your typical bigger wedding venues. The Fox Den is a beautiful reception space and getting married with a giant tree as a backdrop is just magical. Plus having an after party with a fire-pit, a pool and a hot tub is a nice touch! tip: they do have wi-fi, but it's spotty.

I was planning on leaving a three star, but when we checked out the place waived our remaining charges (after our LivingSocial voucher had been applied) due to the malfunctioning toilet flush in our bathroom. Overall we had a nice two-night stay in the Violet Room. We did not know (probably our own fault for not looking into it closely) that room would share the same bathroom with the Hyacinth Room, but luckily no one was staying at the Hyacinth Room we so had the bathroom to ourselves.

There wasn't much interaction with the staff onsite. We came down for breakfast late on both mornings (we had been told it'd be served around 9 and usually run till 10:30); but we wanted to just relax and not have to worry about setting our alarms since we were, well, on vacation. Coming down sometime between 9:45-10, we served our own breakfast from the counter, which was fine. Sadly we didn't feel welcomed by the lady who cooked (I think Henriette), who exhibited virtually no interest in chatting with us while we sat and ate by ourselves at the table and she worked around in the kitchen. I'm not sure if it was because our late arrival caused any inconvenience or if she was just for whatever reason disinterested in striking up a conversation.

But we didn't mind much. We appreciated the fact that they let us redeem our LivingSocial voucher that we had purchased over three years ago. Of course it had long expired but we were able to use the amount paid toward our total charge. We had also made multiple attempts to schedule a stay, but through our own fault hadn't been able to commit to a date until last month.

After I informed Henriette at breakfast one morning about the broken flush in our bathroom they offered to take the remaining charges (I think it would've been $69) off our bill or give us another bottle of wine, so that was much appreciated. We got to play with Henriette's dog, Lola, one day after we came back; and there were five cats at one time outside the house.

They had a piano out in the backyard which I got to play a little. There are tables and chairs set up on the porch; the swing and the pool also made our stay extra scenic and relaxing. Our voucher included a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates upon arrival, as well as wine tasting coupons to three nearby wineries. Unfortunately since we stayed Sunday through Tuesday, there were a lot of wineries that were closed on weekdays.

But we took advantage of the opportunities and still visited Miracle Valley, Naked Mountain, and Barrel Oak on Monday. A great value for what we'd paid, and I'd definitely be inclined to do it again should there be another chance for a similar deal. Overall we had a nice stay and I'd be back, but I'll make sure we stay in a room with its own bathroom.

The broken flush wasn't too much trouble since a lot of the other rooms upstairs were empty and I was able to sneak in another bathroom (that or manually fill water into our toilet's tank and flush). I also had trouble closing the hole in the tub in our bathroom so I had to use another to take a bath. I can definitely see why some people feel the facilities in the house are a bit too old and need repair.
