The Tides Inn is a Chesapeake Bay resort set in the heart of Virginia's Northern Neck. You’ll feel the rich heritage at the Tides Inn the moment you arrive. There’s history in the water which laps gently against the Inn’s Duffy boats in the marina. There’s an undeniable coziness in the charm of the people around you. A quaint nostalgia in sipping a cold lemonade as you watch the afternoon sun dip into the sea. It’s palpable, and it’s a legacy that’s as beloved to us as it has been to you for decades.

Incredible grounds and view. Layout is convenient with views of the river throughout. Rooms were updated, clean and comfortable. Employees were courteous, attentive, and friendly. Restaurants were good with a variety of items.

We love the Tides Inn. It is beautifully appointed inside and out and we appreciate their commitment to sustainability, including the living shoreline. We enjoyed all the special touches and enjoy that we can bring our dog.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Tides Inn. We had never visited the area before and were delighted by the entire experience. The Inn itself is lovely, with spectacular water views. The staff from check in, dining, to pool side were very friendly and helpful. My kids were particularly excited to receive stuffed animals upon arrival. We had a really fun boat ride with Captain Larry which might have been the highlight of the trip but it's difficult to choose. Finally, the hotel was fantastic at accommodating food allergies and careful food prep for a person with Celiac Disease. We had a truly lovely time and hope to go back one day.

Lovely setting, but spotty service and quality left us feeling like we didn’t get our money’s worth. The inn is lovely and the people are quite nice, but they were a bit understaffed in the restaurant in particular and those there were inexperienced so our experience was subpar. Our room as well was lovely, but marred by simple problems that the staff and management obviously ignored. The attention to detail and execution is lacking overall at this place. That is a sign of lax management. Their aquatic programs, though pricey, are first rate. Don’t miss the Oyster outing with Will.
