I stay with relatives in Goochland twice a year but have always been intrigued by the B&B in a horse farm setting down the road. I finally splurged and stayed at Brightly's for 2 nights, and it was a comfortably delightful experience. Walking into my room was like walking into another century (except for the modern conveniences of TV, hot... More

Brightly B&B is part of the meticulously restored 1842 Brightly estate. Two rooms (one ground level, one upstairs) accommodate visitors in a guesthouse, complete with its own brick patio perfect for al fresco drinks in the evening. The guesthouse looks out on beautiful outbuildings, gardens and horse pastures--and it's is just a courtyard away from the main house, where delightful... More

This B/B was recommended by a friend while we were visiting the area.... 2 guest room B/B but lovely.....spectacular Gardens, room, out buildings, countryside AND breakfast was delicious and elegantly set and delivered..... The host was natural as well as responsive.... Felt like staying with neighbors happy to have us visit too.....

If you like a nice, quiet stay away from the hustle and bustle of Richmond, then this should be your next stop. We have stayed here for the last two NASCAR races and have found the place to our liking. More stays are expected in the future.

If you are looking for a delightful B&B to stay at with or without your horses, this is it. A friend and I took our horses and spent the night there, prior to a competition we had the following day. The B&B consists of a separate building from the main residence with two bedrooms, each with a private bath. The... More

We needed accommodations while visiting our daughter's family in Richmond, and Brightly B&B was suggested by our daughter's inlaws.

We spent most daytime away visiting with family, so we didn't take advantage of many amenities. We did enjoy the gorgeous... More

Such a gentle, calm and serene setting. We enjoyed walking with the resident terriers, the beautiful and mystical lake, waking to frost on the ground and horses in the pasture. A very soothing setting that appeals to all of the senses. We will be back.

My daughter lives and attends graduate school in New York. After her mid terms I thought it would be nice to plan a relaxing weekend for just the two of us. I couldn't have selected a better place. The location was wonderful, between Charlottesville and Richmond with plenty of things to see and do. The room was comfortable and tastefully... More

In June I made travel plans for October to visit the East coast from CA with my family. Due to serious cancer illness the trip had to be delayed until November. There was not a problem with any of the Bed and Breakfasts, hotels or the airlines. They all helped us in every way except for the Brightly B &... More
