What a lovely inn! It begins with the care that the innkeeper Amanda puts into contacting you and continues to a fabulous breakfast. My daughter and I did a trip to have dinner at the Inn at Little Washington. Amanda met us at check-in and had some great suggestions to enhance our dinner experience. Our room was clean and well appointed. Then the next morning our breakfast after the decadent meal at Inn at Little Washington was so thoughtfully done. Amanda has taken time to perfect her recipes. Fantastic light and very much European style scone, amazing scrambled eggs wrapped in a light crepe with a bearnaise sauce, and finally a light but perfect lemon posset. We would recommend the Foster Harris House to anyone and would return there ourselves. Thank you Amanda!

Everything about the Foster Harris House is wonderful. Amanda is a charming and very helpful innkeeper. She gave us some great tips about the Inn at Little Washington and about the town. Delicious French press coffee was delivered right outside our room in the morning. A yummy breakfast was served in the beautiful dining room. The bed linens and bathrobes were so soft and comfy. The location is an easy walk to the Inn.

Great option for staying in Washington VA. Amanda was very welcoming, informative about things to do, and she is a terrific chef as evidenced by her excellent breakfast offerings. Think a tasting menu for breakfast.

This is a lovely B&B, but what sets it apart is the fantastic staff and meals. Absolutely top notch. Amanda in particular is an amazing chef.

We, had a wonderful time staying at Foster Harris house. Amanda, our host was fabulous, very kind, friendly, and made us feel so welcome. The house was spotlessly clean, kitchen was very impressive, breakfast was excellent. I loved the French pressed coffee and tea, that was left prepared for us outside of our room. The house was the perfect location, we were able to easily walk 3 minutes to The Inn at Little Washington. The bed linen was so comfortable, so much so that I ordered the same one for my own home. Once again, Thank you Amanda, for being such a fantastic host!

My husband and I came to stay for our first anniversary and couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more. The service was top notch, the room was pristine and beautifully furnished, and the breakfast was out of this world. We’ll certainly be back!

My wife and I loved our stay. The service is incredibly warm and friendly, our room was comfortable and relaxing, and the general accommodations at the house were fantastic. We looked forward to starting our day with their delicious breakfast (ask for the house specialty ginger scone). We can’t say enough positive things and can’t wait to come back! Thank you for making our 5 year wedding anniversary so special!

Foster Harris House was a charming getaway.
The building is meticulously furnished with a ton of personal touches that make you feel like you're staying with family. The host (Amanda if I recall correctly) was also extremely gracious and thoughtful, taking into account our wake-up time to set up a French press with fresh coffee in the common area outside our room.
The cookies in the room were to die for. The breakfast was equally delightful, offering a ton of flavour without causing us to be unpleasantly stuffed. Their flagship scone was tasty as well.
Foster Harris House was an easy walk to the Inn at Little Washington, so the location is great for those with dinner reservations. The house is old, so you can hear noises from the hallway or adjacent rooms, but nothing too bad. If you're very sensitive, you might want to bring earplugs just in case. The bed was cozy and the shower was very spacious.
I'd definitely recommend FHH to anyone looking to visit the area.
We decided to stay here recently for a quick getaway, our first time in Washington, VA. From the time we arrived until we departed - following a delicious and aesthetically-pleasing 4-course breakfast - we enjoyed our time. The welcoming staff, great service, beautiful location, and rooms complete with historic touches all made Foster Harris a perfect choice for a relaxing weekend.

Klaus was a fantastic host. He's a great conversationalist who's led an interesting life, and the breakfast lived up to the hype!

We had a wonderful stay. Klaus provided good, detailed instructions from how to enter as well as the WiFi code. The breakfast was spectacular with excellent coffee, ginger scones, the ginger fruit salad, homemade sausage and quiche finished with a mini-cheesecake. Klaus made us feel right at home. It’s also walking distance from the Inn at Little Washington.

The rooms and grounds are very nice, and Klaus was a welcoming and accommodating host. If you're coming to town for a dinner at the Inn at Little Washington, this makes a good landing spot (an easy walk away); if proximity to the Inn doesn't matter, then you can probably find an equally nice BnB for less. My one complaint is that eating the very large course breakfast the morning after our dinner at the Inn was a struggle; I wish breakfast could be a simpler serve-yourself spread with lighter options, for those who are still full or want to save room.Rooms: small but very nicely decorated

Enjoyed our stay in well appointed comfortable rooms. Looked forward to a most delicious and different 4 course breakfast each morning! His "soon to be famous" Ginger Scones are scrumptious to say the least!! Klaus is a very gracious and accommodating host!
Exceptional stay and attention to detail.
