We can't say enough about the Clifton! As a wedding photo & video group, we have had the pleasure of partnering with the staff at this location for our couple's weddings - and each time we are blown away by the stunning grounds! It’s the perfect backdrop for any outdoor or garden-style ceremony & reception, and the inside of the Inn is just as elegant. There are plenty of gorgeous spots for portraits sessions between the rooms and the garden. Couldn’t recommend The Clifton enough for your wedding day!! Ig @paperboysweddings

The location and setting of this inn is beautiful, as is the building. It is decorated nicely, in a charming but modern style. What I found deficient was the cleaning and maintenance. Upon entering our room, I saw the bathroom floor was littered with many hairs, almost like it hadn't even been vacuumed after the last guests. The restaurant dining areas were dirty, with crumbs and sticky spots and crusty bits stuck to available tables and chairs. I had to wonder what the non-public areas and kitchen looked like if the areas visible to guests were not even cleaned. If this sort of thing doesn't bother you however, then you'll have a nice stay.

Waking up after a restful nights sleep, I’m still dreaming of the mushroom risotto and cheese board I probably over ordered, but not regretfully. My mood board for decor inspiration is being ripped down after falling in love with their newly renovated, charming communal spaces. The rooms, spacious and tidy, relaxing and cozy yet sleek and well appointed. Most amazing night and the staff attended to every need. Extremely impressed with this boutique countryside hotel plopped right in the middle of the gorgeous mountainside of Charlottesville, minutes from downtown but far enough away that when the light peeks through velvet curtains, I feel worlds away from real life pressures.

We spent a night here for our anniversary, and it was the perfect spot. I love the historic feel with the modern amenities. Both the food and drinks were amazing. The staff were friendly and the rooms clean and comfortable.

My wife and I like to break up the drive between northern NJ and the Carolinas, both going and returning, when we travel south for a beach vacation and/or to visit with the extended family. We have stayed at over a half dozen small luxury Inns in Virginia over the past 15-20 years. For this latest trip we had made a room and dinner reservation at The Clifton far in advance of our post-Christmas drive north from Chapel Hill, NC. I am very pleased to say that both my wife and I were most impressed and pleased with what we discovered here and had a most enjoyable short visit. Even in late December, walking around the grounds of the property was most impressive. We spent one night at The Clifton, staying in the sumptuous Martha Jefferson Room in the Manor House. We especially appreciated the Nespresso machine in our room for our early morning coffee, as well as the large and well-appointed bathroom. We were impressed with the selection of creative cocktails and intelligent conversation with their bartender at their intimate Copper Bar before having a most delicious and excellently prepared and presented dinner at their 1799 restaurant. The next morning, we had a very satisfying and filling breakfast on their enclosed veranda, before embarking on the second half of our drive back north to our home. Everyone we encountered at The Clifton was most gracious, helpful, and accommodating. For those who want a special overnight stay at a historic home that has been transformed into a romantic and peaceful Inn with an excellent dining restaurant, we can and do highly recommend The Clifton.Show less

Would recommend this Inn, very friendly staff & welcoming, Clean rooms, surrounding courtyside is very beautiful. You have a very peaceful & private feel at this Inn. A lot of history with this Inn, which we loved hearing about. Great place to stay if you need to stay in Charlottesville, Va.

We stayed at The Clifton for 2 nights while visiting Charlottesville. This is an historic property and a beautiful story. We had a Manor House Suite -Room 7 which was a King Bed and a separate living room. Thank goodness we had a living room because that's where we had to put our hanging bags as the antique armoire was not sufficient in holding our modern bags. Our room needed some attention. The windows in the living area were very dirty. And a couple of gallons of paint would do well in the bathroom molding and the doors and threshold and deck into the room. The service was outstanding and the star.

Our stay at The Clifton was fantastic. From the moment we drove onto the beautiful property to our departure one day later, we were treated like royalty. Check in in the beautifully appointed reception/lounge was welcoming and easy, with gifts of warm chocolate chip cookies from the fantastic kitchen. The grounds are beautifully maintained with historic trees and beautiful gardens throughout the property. We spent a fair amount of time wandering around the beautiful property. Our room was wonderful, spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished while keeping the historic quality alive. All bathroom features were modern and hot water and good pressure were abundant! Bathing products were top quality. The bed was comfortable and the linens were of high quality. Now on to food in the property’s restaurant 1799. Bar none, one of the best restaurants we have had the pleasure to experience, and we have eaten at fine restaurants around the world. The food was divine, creative and meticulously prepared and presented. Ingredients are locally sourced and the chef creates delicious and memorable dishes from start to finish. It really was a fantastic experience for our taste buds! Every staff member we had contact with was kind, considerate and helpful. To keep our wonderful experience going - we had a few hours until our meet up with friends after check out time and asked if we could just hang out at the beautiful pool. Of course, they said and so we ended our divine Clifton experience by sitting my the gorgeous pool looking out over the serenely beautiful property. More than FIVE STARS for this amazingly wonderful experience at The Clifton. ❤️

It’s a shame really, the property is so lovely and really lends itself to being a luxury getaway but the word “hospitality” has been left undefined for the young staff who aren’t aware what they lack.

Every need was anticipated and met! The staff was helpful, friendly and efficient. We were impressed by how quiet the Inn was. It was very peaceful inside the Inn, as well as the grounds. The landscaping was beautiful and well cared for. The location was central to all the activities we had planned all over Charlottesville.
