about

Welcome to historic Hollymead House Bed and Breakfast, located in Charlottesville, Virginia. The federal manor home has been established as a successful bed and breakfast for over 50 years.

In 2018 it was purchased by UVa alumna Pam and her husband William, who live on-site and are attentive to your every need. Returning the home to Milton Grigg’s 1937 design was the goal, and finally they can share this with their guests.

Choose from 6 beautiful bedrooms, all with private en-suite baths, authentic antiques, premium luxury linens, towels, robes and slippers. There is free on-site parking and wi-fi, and miles of beautiful walking trails among nature and lakes. A healthy Continental breakfast is served each morning in our bright and sunny Garden Room.

We look forward to meeting you and making your visit with us as pleasant as can be.

History

One of central Virginia’s oldest buildings, dating back to 1780, Hollymead House was once a 300 acre working farm. What started as a home for Hessian soldiers captured during the Revolutionary War went on to become a private residence of a long-time University of Virginia Dean, B.F.D. “Dee” Runk. Today, the Inn provides casual elegance with six guest rooms - four named for previous farm owners - the other two, Holly and Boxwood, a nod to its namesake and that which surround the property, respectively.
