Washington Flyer
"A Sanctuary for laughing souls." [Hope and Glory] "reflects life’s amusing twists and manages to create nothing short of magic"

Mary Engelbreit Living
"dreamy cocoons that make guests feel cherished"

The Washington Post
"I kept expecting Julia Roberts to waltz out wearing a sundress and some sort of accent and offer me an iced tea."

Richmond Times-Dispatch
"This masterpiece of whimsy and beauty, there is not an ordinary headboard in the place. Silly hats become lampshades, and curtains are tied with rope, ribbons or strings to tree-branch curtain rods."

Forbes FYI
"Though surrounded by a white picket fence, and a nostalgic garden, the sunny yeloow 1890's schoolhouse belies its Victorian exterior. Indeed the sense of humor throughout Hope and Glory will soon have you wondering: whats going on here?"

Coastal Living Magazine
"Rent the entire Inn - seven rooms plus four cottages - for a Big Chill Weekend or come for a refreshing interlude. It's whimsical, extravengantly romantic, relatively undiscovered and guaranteed to make you smile."

The Tatler Cunard Travel Guide
"The Hope and Glory Inn is so mad and has such pizzazz that it stops you in your tracks."
