North River Inn Bed and Breakfast, Gloucester Courthouse, Virginia
An avenue of towering red maples serves as your welcoming committee at the North River Inn. Standing tall and stately, these silent sentinels guide you up the lane to the place you'll call home during your stay.
Surrounded on three sides by salt water, the North River Inn sits majestically on 100 acres of Virginia countryside in the historic Tidewater region off the Chesapeake Bay. Out here, where the land meets the water and the present meets the past, you'll have a rare glimpse of life as it once was in rural Virginia . . . unhurried, gracious, and breathtakingly beautiful.
Established as the 17th century estate of sea captain Thomas Todd, these broad fields stretching down to the tidal river have been farmed for more than 350 years. Toddsbury, the original home on the property, is a National Register and Virginia Historic Landmark house, which today serves as the private home of the Montague family who own and operate the Inn.

The North River Inn is housed in three distinct historic structures, each on a different location on this 100-acre estate. Creek House, Toddsbury Cottage, and Toddsbury Guest House are all on the water, at the ends of private lanes, with exquisite views and river access. Each room in the Inn offers its own ambiance and appeal, with 18th and 19th century English and American family antiques, private baths, air conditioning, and telephones. From a single room to a complete house, from an intimate honeymoon guesthouse all to yourself to facilities for meeting groups up to twenty, we can tailor our accommodations to fit your needs.
At the North River Inn, we welcome families with children under twelve at Toddsbury Cottage. Come and enjoy a retreat with your children, in activities that recall an earlier time : fishing, crabbing, canoeing, walking, reading books and playing games. Daylong excursions to Williamsburg, Yorktown, Jamestown, and the historic Northern Neck are all easily accomplished from the Inn. At the end of the day, come back to luxury and quiet, in the privacy of your own quarters.
