Stratford Hall is located in Westmoreland County in the historic Northern Neck of Virginia. In the time of the Lees, travelers to the Northern Neck would have been assured of finding a warm welcome, a good bed and fine meal at Stratford Hall. Today the Inn at Stratford Hall carries on this tradition of the Southern hospitality by welcoming individuals, families, and groups to this serene and special place. Built by Thomas Lee in the 1730s, Stratford Hall is one of the great houses of American history. Four generations of the Lee family passed through its stately doors, including Richard Henry Lee and Francis Lightfoot Lee, the only two brothers to sign the Declaration of Independence, Revolutionary War hero ''Light Horse Harry'' Lee, and his son, Civil War General Robert E. Lee, who was born at Stratford in 1807. Nestled in the woods, our guest rooms encourage you to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with nature and the past.

Each and every day, you will have a clean, accommodating room with access to a 'living room' with TV and comfortable seating for gathering with other travelers.
