Bed and Breakfast Description

Colonial Manor Inn, the oldest operating Inn on Virginia's Eastern Shore, was built as a private home in 1882. It was purchased in the 1930's by Mrs. Leola Horsey who saw the need for lodging suitable for the working men and women coming into the area. She set up the boarding house, the Colonial Manor Inn. Her reputation for fair prices, warm hospitality and great cooking kept her house full. Her daughter, June Evans, carried on the tradition of warm hospitality from the 1970's on, but no longer served meals.

Now we serve a full breakfast daily, family style, at our huge dining table that seats 14. There you will meet fellow guests, share stories of your previous day's adventures or the present day's plans.

Through the decades Colonial Manor Inn, located in the historic waterfront community of Onancock Virginia, has kept its doors open to Eastern Shore of Virginia business travelers, visitors, vacationers, and honeymooners providing warmth, friendliness, and genuine hospitality to all those who have stayed at the Inn.

Take a walking tour of town. Free walking tour brochures are available to guide you on your way. Stroll past historic homes and beautiful gardens. It's a compact town and easy to walk.

Have a boat, canoe or kayak? Bring it with you. The wharf is a great place to launch a tour of Onancock Creek. The best way to see the Eastern Shore is from the water. Guided kayak trips are also available with Mary and Bill Burnham -- experienced guides and travel writers.

Bring your bike or rent one from gardenART on King Street. The terrain in and around town is flat for easy pedaling. Traffic is light so riding is a joy. Be safe -- wear a helmet.
