Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains near the Shenandoah Valley, is Briar Patch Bed & Breakfast Inn, a Middleburg, Virginia bed and breakfast, offering charm and hospitality to match its historic location.

Briar Patch is a historic farm (circa 1805) on 47 rolling acres with majestic mountain views. Located in Loudoun County, we are in the heart of Virginia horse, antiques, and wine country on Route 50 (John Mosby Highway), 4 miles east of the town of Middleburg. Just 20 minutes from Dulles Airport and about an hour from Washington, DC when you enter our world, you leave the stress behind.

Stay in one of our eight bedrooms in the main house or combine two rooms to create your own private suite. For even more privacy, stay in our one bedroom cottage with a fully equipped kitchen. Or stay in our newly constructed Chicken Coop with its 3 bedrooms all with private baths.

Hold your wedding, family celebration, business meeting, group picnic, or off-site retreat in our indoor facility - The Fox Den at Briar Patch for up to 200 guests or on our beautiful grounds.

The main house has eight bedrooms, all furnished with antiques. Two rooms on the first floor (the Iris and Daisy Rooms) each have private baths, private entrances/exits, and queen beds. The main house has six bedrooms on the second floor, each with a shared bath. For additional comfort and privacy, two rooms can be combined to create a suite with private bath.

Five of the six bedrooms on the second floor have queen beds and one (the Violet Room) has a king bed. Each bedroom is named after a flower to reflect the colors and scents of the flowering plants surrounding the house and cottage.

For even more privacy, we offer a separate cottage with a fully equipped kitchen, living room (includes a futon sofa bed), dining area, bathroom with a tub and shower, and bedroom with a queen-sized bed.
