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.”

The Hope and Glory Inn is a charming restored school house, with current amenities for a comfortable stay. The Colonnade Restaurant offers expertly prepared dishes with artfully combined flavors. The most impressive part of my stay was the personalized service. The chef and hostess were warm and attentive. They genuinely wanted me to have an exceptional experience, and I did.
Fantastic dinner!!! Service is amazing.
We visited Hope and Glory in on a whim. We wanted to visit the Urbana Oyster Festival and decided to make a weekend of our trip to the area.The Hope and Glory Inn is a great property. It is conveniently located in a lovely small town or Irvington. The proprietors were extremely friendly and welcoming. Everything was top notch.I always remind my friends that a B&B 5 Star is a little different that a hotel 5 Star. Hotels have been purpose designed for a guests stay. An B&B usually started life as a different type of property and is converted to apartments. As such there are always a few quirks with B&Bs.We really loved our stay in the Cottage. It was a very comfortable apartment. There is a pool available on the property and even a unique private outdoor bathtub! The grounds and gardens were fun to meander around. There was ample sitting space outside to enjoy the fall weather. Right across the street was a farmers market which we visited during our stay. Additionally the Inn is located conveniently near a couple little shops and a few local eateries.Each morning the Inn Keepers brought a nice breakfast to our door. The food was very tasty and just the right amount to tie us over until lunch.I would be remiss if I didn't mention the dinner service at the Inn. It is a top notch dining experience. The ingredients were largely local farm to table and dinner was one of the best we have had. The chef visited our table to say hello and was kind enough to tell us about the ingredients and the history of the property. It was a lovely experience.I have to shout out to Heather who was not only our server and bartender but also helped us with some local info. She is a pro with a great attitude and a super friendly way about her.The Inn Keepers Peggy and Dudley treated us warmly and we felt like return visitors despite this being our first visit. They have done a wonderful job curating a great experience. We plan to visit again soon.
We arrived late at night after a hellish journey to the beautiful oasis that is the Hope and Glory Inn. The wonderful Heather was waiting to help us with check in, and in the morning, we met Peggy and Dudley at breakfast. Such hospitality from these fantastic hosts! The historic buildings, the gentle burbling of the fountain in the courtyard surrounded by gardens, the outdoor shower, the bikes to borrow… every detail has been thought through and the folks running this place are as friendly as can be. If you’re looking for a soft landing in a beautiful part of the world, don’t hesitate! Book a room at the Hope and Glory.
Hope and Glory Inn - a charming place to stay and unwind in an idyllic location far off the beaten track! Peggy, Dudley and Heather (owners/hosts) make us feel right at home and take great care of us every time we come to stay at the inn. While there have always been excellent dining options nearby, the recent arrival of chef Meseret to the inn's kitchen has made dinners at the inn extra special... a truly 5 star dining experience!Highly recommended for romantic getaways, anniversaries and family reunions!
We stayed at The Hope and Glory at the last minute and Peggy and Dudley were amazingly accommodating and welcoming. We loved it. It was a wonderful respite in a stressful situation. The Inn is beautiful and the owners have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable.
Response from the owner: Cindy, we are so glad we could provide you with a wonderful respite in a stressful situation. Your review made us realize again what we do can make a difference. Thank you for describing us as accommodating, welcoming, beautiful and enjoyable.Dudley and Peggy
We had the BEST time on our long weekend trip to the Northern Neck and staying at the Hope and Glory Inn. The staff was top-notch and the accommodations were lovely! Everything from the pool to breakfast to the town to the comfy beds were wonderful! We felt right at home the moment we arrived. We had a peaceful stay with lots of privacy. It's perfect for a couple's getaway or a special celebration. I highly recommend booking a stay at the H&GI. You will not be disappointed!
Response from the owner: Hi Christi, thank you for taking the time to post a most flattering review and saying to everyone that they “will not be disappointed”. Thank you again for saying we are perfect for a “couple’s getaway or a special celebration”. We do hope you will return. Dudley and Peggy
Exceptional stay and dinner. We have been going to Hope and Glory and eating at The Collanade for 8 years and the service and quality of food is always exceptional. Meseret is the best. Her crab cakes are the best we have ever had anywhere. The staff for both the inn and the Collonade are always friendly and accommodating. We look forward to our next visit.
Response from the owner: Joe, just when I thought we could not thank you enough, we gladly respond to your 5 star review. We certainly should acknowledge that Chef Meseret’s crab cakes…”the best we have ever had anywhere” Till the next time!Dudley, Peggy, Chef Meseret and Heather
Fantastic dinner! Thanks Meseret, thanks Heather!
Response from the owner: Will, thank you for your most flattering review. Every day we too are thankful for our Chef Meseret and Heather.
We'll never stay at the place down the street. We loved everything about our stay and all the kind folks who made it special. We especially liked the two story cottage. You are our go to place on the Northern Neck
Response from the owner: Hal, thank you for a wonderful review and designating us your "go to place" on the Northern Neck. We look forward to seeing you and Marlene again.Dudley, Peggy, Chef Meseret and Heather
