"Known for its cuisine, the Ashby Inn in Paris, Virginia, has had the reputation of being a restaurant with an inn rather than an inn with a restaurant -even though the inn is plenty nice. Modern American-French fare, much of it sourced from local farmers and producers, is what sets apart this former home dating to 1829. Its location in the foothills of the Blue Ridge is another draw, especially on warm nights when you can dine under the stars."  Washingtonian Magazine

  "For many, the typical Thanksgiving Day consists of cooking all day, hosting a ton of relatives, and watching a little football before dozing off. For many others, it doesn't. Pamela Wade is the general manager of the Ashby Inn and Restaurant. Today, they served nearly 130 people for a lavish Thanksgiving dinner. The chef sees little difference between folks sitting at home or in his restaurant. The plates looked exceptional. For $75 dollars you could enjoy a three course meal with family and friends, and let the staff of Ashby do the rest. Across the Shenandoah Valley, those who have broken away from tradition, seem to be doing just fine." TV 3 Winchester

"Want very good food, terrific views, and romance in the countryside? Escape to the charming ten-room Ashby Inn, in the heart of Virginia's horse country. Dinner is a gourmet treat and no inn in the area enjoys a more gorgeous setting: Flowers bloom in the garden, and the lush slopes of the Blue Ridge, where fat cattle graze, rise just beyond. And romance? Take a moonlight stroll though the tiny one-lane village (population 61), and then snuggle up with Champagne in the library." -Washingtonian Magazine

 "The grounds are luxurious and impeccably maintained. The rooms are comfortable and attractively furnished with antiques and quilts. But it is the food at the 10-room Ashby Inn that guests remember the most." -Country Homes

"...Famously popular with wary Washingtonians...wins raves for its hospitality and superior kitchen." -New York Times

 " If there's a recipe for a perfect country inn, this is it. Head an hour west from D.C., and your reward is extraordinary comfort food. Dishes are made with the freshest local ingredients and presented in an intimate setting." - Fodor's Destination
