The Essex Inn, a Virginia bed and breakfast, was built in 1850 and is located in the Historic District of Tappahannock. The Inn is the newest of thirteen buildings on our walking tour, the oldest having been built in 1680. A gracious alternative to Tappahannock hotels, The Essex Inn has been masterfully restored to its early grandeur and now invites you to share the experience of elegant tidewater living. We're the gateway to the Northern Neck, where colonial history has deep and prosperous roots and nature seems to know no bounds.
