Patriot Inn Bed & Breakfast

Portsmouth, Virginia

Patriot Inn Bed & Breakfast is a bed & breakfast located in Portsmouth.

The Patriot Inn is an architectural gem built in 1784, located in the Olde Towne Portsmouth historical district. The busy Elizabeth River waterfront is reflected in the hand blown windowpanes, just as it has been for over 200 years. Shopping and Antiquing on High Street are just a few steps away, as are the Portsmouth Naval Hospital, the Tidewater Yacht Marina, and the ferry to Norfolk.

This Colonial, English half-basement with Federal influences, rests on foundations of another dwelling dating to 1772. According to official documents, Thorowgood Keeling, a first lieutenant in the Virginia Militia, built the current dwelling in 1784. The earliest known owner of this property was Reverend John Agnew, a Tory Chaplain, who was a colonist loyal to King George III. The Revolutionary War plays an important role in molding the history of Olde Towne Portsmouth. General Cornwallis, whose headquarters were in Olde Towne Portsmouth, decided to relocate his troops to Yorktown and loaded them on boats in front of the Patriot Inn. As the exterior of the Inn reflects colonial architectural details, the interior is discreetly decorated offering interesting corners to relax and enjoy the tranquility that permeates this lovely old Inn. With the orginal heart of pine wood floors, the stately main staircase, and the wonderfully carved mantles, the Inn is filled with furnishings that enables guests to step back in time and experience the spirit of colonial America. All bed chambers are attractively decorated and furnished with lots of historic charm in period style antiques and reproductions. All beds are nuzzled in goose down comforters and pillows.

Places to eat within 5km of Patriot Inn Bed & Breakfast include Foggy Point Bar & Grill, Fish & Slips Marina Raw Bar & Grill, Roger Brown's Sports Bar & Restaurant, and The Coffee Shoppe.
