About this property

The New Kent Ordinary and Bassett's Tavern is a beautifully renovated historical home and tavern in the heart of New Kent County, Va. You and your guests will have full access to all 5 Bedrooms, each with a private full bath, a fully-equipped kitchen, a dedicated dining room, living areas as well as an authentic tavern once visited by George Washington on the ground level with outdoor seating and fireplaces. George Washington referred to and visited several times during the Revolutionary War. There is plenty of back yard for games and my horses are in the pasture. They love attention. Two restaurants are close, one within walking distance. Our patio and porches are a relaxing area to read or enjoy wine with your friends.

Awesome!

Place was wonderful. The tavern that is attached is a great plus. The web site does not do the place justice. We were in awe of how wonderful this place is. A special thank you to the host for helping us on a Sunday night. Just super!

Superb

We absolutely loved our stay at the New Kent Ordinary! It was clean, comfortable and had every amenity plus added bonus of your own Tavern. The Ordinary has been beautifully restored and maintained. Our little band of history buffs couldn’t have imagined a better place to stay while visiting Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. Thank you for making it available to rent Pamela!
