The Blenheim (Room #2) is a suite on the second floor of the historic Holladay House in downtown Orange, Virginia. Guests in the Blenheim will enjoy: There are three other guest rooms on the second floor of the house, as well as two on the walk-out basement level. Your hosts live in an innkeeper's suite on the first floor.
The Blenheim and its attached sitting room overlook Main St., a perfect spot for watching the world go by.
From your windows, you can see the James Madison Museum, and the historic St. Thomas Episcopal Church.
Highly recommend staying at Holliday House! Patrick was waiting for us late Friday night and greeted us so warmly. The room was beautiful. The bed was incredibly comfortable. Whirlpool tub was so relaxing. Such a wonderful experience! Planning to go back. Thank you, Patrick and Monica, for making our weekend with family even better.
Monica and Pat aren't crazy about flying but love to travel: we visit Europe whenever we can and enjoy eating our way through work trips to China and Vietnam. We grew up in China and Fairfax County, Virginia, respectively, lived in Columbus, Ohio for 20 years, and are now happy to call Orange, Virginia home.
We moved to the Holladay House because we were looking for a home close to the universities of Virginia - we provide educational experiences in the US for Asian stfudents - and close to Pat's family in Northern Virginia. Living in a house this old is a new experience for both of us, but we find it to be very rewarding.
Things that make this house special include: * The home's fascinating history and the cast of characters that have come through it * Being right on Main St. in Orange, walking distance to cool shops and good food * The convenience of town living (city water!) while being minutes from the beautiful countryside.
