Experience the grandeur of the Essex Inn located in Tappahannock, Virginia. This Greek Revival Inn is located one block from the Rappahannock River and many other Tappahannock attractions.

Explore the Northern Neck’s wineries; visit historic museums and birthplaces; kayak one of the many rivers; bike or hike the many birding trails or enjoy day trips to Yorktown, Williamsburg or Fredericksburg.

The romantic bedrooms in the Main House feature four-posted beds custom made from wood salvaged from piers made of 300-year-old Cyprus trees and have working gas fireplaces or electric stoves.

The "Quarters" is a separate building that was once used as the servants' quarters and is perfect for extended stays, guests with pets and guests needing outside access to smoke. It features suites that can sleep up to 3 guests each. Revive and relax in the Music room with its baby grand piano or the Library complete with games, movies, puzzles and fireplace; the screened-in porch overlooking the garden, the back porch with rocking chairs; or the private brick courtyard.

The Inn is a Certified Virginia Green Inn. Special events included “Weekend with a Writer”. Business travelers enjoy WIFI, special rates and flexible breakfast schedules.

Pets Welcome
Pets are welcome to stay in 3 of our suites only: The Downstairs Suite, The Laundry Suite and The Kitchen Suite. There is a $30 per day fee for each pet. They are not permitted in the main house. (We have pet cats that have access to the outdoors and limited access in the main house.) No more than two pets may stay in one suite at a time. We prefer small dogs (under 25 lbs.) and cats only. Larger dogs are accepted by our approval only – we do reserve the right to turn away certain breeds. All pets must be house trained or litter box trained. Pets must be on leashes or kenneled when outside; you are, of course, responsible for doggie “doo-doody”. Cats must bring their own litter box. We ask that your pet be current with his or her vaccinations and must also be on some sort of flea & tick control. We would prefer that your pet be kept kenneled when you are away from the room. If a pet persists in barking, yelping, or showing other auditory sounds while you are away from the room we will contact you to return as soon as possible and will personally “sit” with the pet until you do. (We do charge a hourly rate of $10 to pet sit.) It is preferable that your pets not sit or lie on the furniture, but if he/she is more at home doing so, we would ask that a sheet or cover be used. Any excessive cleaning due to large amounts of shedding will incur additional charges of $10 per hour. Any damage caused by a pet will be added to your bill.
Pets Living At Inn: Yes
The innkeepers have indoor/outdoor cats.
Smoking: Outside
We recommend the suites for smokers as they have direct access to the outside for smoking.
