About The Colonnade

“possibly the best food and evening we have ever shared”

About The Hope & Glory Inn

The dinner we had this past Saturday was one of the best meals we ever had and my wife [and I] are big time foodies. If you like history, wine and oysters, then you have have to come to the Northern Neck. And if you enjoy excellent hospitality and a unique dining experience, you have to check out the Hope & Glory Inn!”

Notable Mentions In High Profile Publications

“…it started with asiago-flecked Rappahannock oysters, served in white shell-shaped ramekins. Then came potato-leek soup with local herbs, cornbread madeleines and—before a cheesecake dessert—lump crab with beurre blanc and Old Bay, that classic spice mix of the Chesapeake.”

A bed and breakfast with cozy rooms and darling cottages, the Hope & Glory Inn puts you right in the heart of small town Irvington. There’s a relaxing saltwater pool hidden away behind the inn, and a garden bath which is, yes, a clawfoot tub in a garden, is a surprising and restorative way to end a day. The inn’s restaurant, The Colonnade, is a fine dining experience in a historic space with Chef Meseret Crockett at the helm.

“Irvington is a scenic town with plenty of character and creekside charm.”


“Another unmissable… “main street”…Irvington attraction, the Dog and Oyster Micro-
Vineyard. In operation for over a decade, this beautiful… Chesapeake Bay Wine Trail
restaurant is an unforgettable dining experience where you can pair local wines
with ‘just out of the water’ oysters.”

We visited Hope and Glory for a brief getaway. While the weather didn't exactly cooperate, our stay was delightful. Peggy and Dudley Patteson are exceptional hosts, greeting us by name and catering to our every need throughout our stay. Our cabin was lovely - comfortable, clean and cozy. We requested latte's for breakfast and Peggy came through, offering to serve us breakfast in the Inn instead of delivering to our cabin as is the usual process. We also enjoyed dinner at The Colonnade in the beautiful lobby of Hope and Glory. We would definitely recommend this lovely Inn.
Response from the owner: Hi Cindy, thank you for review! We hope more follow your lead by staying and dining with us - two experiences which we feel are better - if together. We appreciated your highlighting your cottage as lovely, cozy and romantic and The Colonnade, our dining venue, lovely as well. You are not very far away so we hope we will see you again. Dudley, Peggy and Chef Meseret
We've visited The Hope & Glory several times and we keep coming back because of the incomparable hospitality. Peggy & Dudley are the greatest hosts; they greet us like favorite members of the family. Meseret is not only an accomplished chef but a truly wonderful person we are always so happy to see. Heather is equally fantastic in taking care of anything and everything we may need always with a smile. And the accommodations set the standard for comfort and relaxation. We adore everything about Hope & Glory!
Response from the owner: Hi Becky, many thanks for this most memorable review! We loved your mention of our “incomparable hospitality” and saying our accommodations “set the standard for comfort and relaxation”. Most of all we adore you and John! Looking forward to your next visit! Dudley, Peggy, Chef Meseret and Heather
For more than 10 years the Hope and Glory has been almost a second home for me whenever I came to visit my parents either from Kiawah Island, SC or Big Sky, Montana. There is a certain charm at the H&G that simply cannot be replicated. The owners, Dudley and Peggy Patterson are dear friends and as long as I have reason to be in the glorious Northern Neck of Virginia I will always visit the Hope and Glory!
Response from the owner: Thank you Durbin for your incredibly beautiful review. We value your love and loyalty and hope you will find a reason to return to the Northern Neck and to us.Dudley and Peggy
Went for wine tasting and oysters and enjoyed it. Also enjoyed meeting to owner who is quite colorful and likes to personally meet his quests.
Response from the owner: Thank you Robin for highlighting your experience at the Hope and Glory’s micro-vineyard and oyster bar. We try to make everyone’s visit both entertaining and memorable. Your review meant a lot to us.Dudley and Peggy
We took a last-minute trip to Irvington on our way to northern Virginia. We called the Hope & Glory Inn the day before and they were very welcoming and happy to accommodate us! It was a most pleasurable and relaxing experience. The owners, Peggy and Dudley, are exceptional hosts and made us feel as though we were in our own home. Highly recommend the Hope & Glory Inn!!
Response from the owner: Terri, your review is truly appreciated and also your "highly recommend". We are particularly pleased we could provide you with both "pleasure and relaxation" during your one night stay. We hope to see you and Ray again.Dudley and Peggy

My husband and I have stayed at Hope and Glory Inn twice now, and it’s truly our favorite escape. From the moment you arrive, you’re treated as so much more than just a guest. The owners genuinely get to know you and even remember you by name and voice from a simple phone call—that level of personal connection is rare and makes every stay feel special.The environment is peaceful and quiet, the cottages are cozy and romantic, and the pool is the perfect spot to unwind. Every morning, breakfast is delivered right to your cottage, and it is absolutely unforgettable—I come home craving it! Dinner is just as incredible, with food that feels like it belongs in a five-star restaurant.Hope and Glory Inn is everything we need: intimate, welcoming, and the perfect escape from reality. Each visit leaves us refreshed, spoiled, and already planning our return.
