Nottoway Plantation, White Castle

Don't forget to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏm when booking any place. This site will compare hundreds of booking web sites and typically will have rooms much cheaper compared to others! Thank me later on! This hotel is one of my favorites in the area. I have been staying here for a long time. If you choose this place you for sure won't regret it. We came and met friends who were staying here for dinner. Wonderful and accommodating staff. Everything was delicious from cocktails to dessert. Shrimp Creole and Blackened red fish was out of this world. Amazing ambience, defiantly would love to go back.

The first room we had was dirty and the heater didn’t work so they moved us to another. Same issues. We slept with our coats on. Dinner was no better. The bartender was the only one working it seemed. Our waitress was present twice, once for our order the other to bring food. I had to go to the bar to get drinks. Left as early as we could. It was high 30’s in temp outside. To much money for that.

My mother and I stayed here years ago and had a phenomenal experience and time. Fast forward to last week, my parents came to visit since I recently moved to the area. Knowing we live so close to a place that my mom and I got to share memories at before, we thought we would take a trip down memory lane by booking a room there again. They’ve since changed ownership and it’s sad to see such a beautiful and unique experience go downhill. Upon trying to book, my mom called to get a room and was told she would have to call back later. Since they were traveling, I called to book for her. I asked questions about the rooms. Requested a room with a balcony so she could sit on the porch in the rocking chairs - was told that they would indeed be put in a room with that specification. That didn’t happen. I asked if the room would have a bathtub since the online website said “some rooms may have a bathtub” - the lady on the phone had no idea… she asked a coworker who also did not know what accommodations the room had. Despite being shocked by the lack of knowledge for the property the staff had - we went ahead and booked. We made dinner reservations on Friday night and we were so excited to take my dad and husband to the restaurant we loved years ago… only to be met with subpar drinks and mediocre food. The saving grace for our dining experience was our sweet waitress, April. She did a phenomenal job taking care of us and made my mom feel so special. Her service alone, would have offset the rest of the experience. The icing on the cake? I gave them a card to book the room and explicitly stated that this is not the card that will be charged because my mom will provide her card upon checking in. I was assured multiple times that they would not charge the card I had provided. My mom gave them her card the minute she got there. Now, a week later I received a notification that my card had also been charged for their stay. When I tried to call to speak to a manager - I was told she would have to call me tomorrow as they don’t have a manager on site. Unfortunately, when a place lacks quality employees a manager should always be accessible or onsite. Given the overall experience, difficulty booking a room, employees lack of property knowledge, and customer experience… a place that I would have raved over years ago and couldn’t wait to go back to is now a place I will warn anyone and everyone from staying at.

Hubby and I stayed here in an Executive King Suite for three nights on January 26-29, 2023. This is a room in a cabin, not in the house. The room was in a terrible state of disrepair. Curtains were ripped and hanging from the rod, the bathroom faucet was missing the knob to pull up the sink stopper, the bedside lamp was rendered useless because the knob to turn it on was missing, the bathtub barely drained, and the heater in the room was broken, etc., etc. Yes, there was a kitchen with absolutely nothing in it except a cheap coffee maker, toaster, two pots, and one pan. No silverware, no glasses, no plates, no cups - nothing. The restaurant was closed, and the closest provisions are about 12 minutes away. The lady at the front desk apologized and said they would be shutting down soon for renovations. I will say that the bed was comfy and the sheets and towels were fresh and clean. That's about it. Don't stay here until any renovations are complete. Such a shame because the house and grounds are lovely.

We went to the plantation for a birthday trip. We had an amazing time. It was nice to be secluded on beautiful grounds as a couple. The restaurant has the best steak I’ve ever eaten, and the bar - definitely worth their prices.
