The Berry Hill Resort & Conference Center

“Beautiful resort!”

The room and basic facilities were very nice, clean and well-maintained. The breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. Darby's Tavern had great food and a great assortment of beverages. I could not find an ice machine that worked anywhere in the complex. Truly a beautiful facility!

“Hidden gem”

This was my 5th visit and for a reason-it’s a great place. The service is excellent, the staff is attentive. The brunch is wholesome and with plenty of variety but I wish there are more freshly prepared and healthier items on the menu like salads and grilled food. I will definitely be coming bac… more

We booked the Bruce Suite in the historic mansion at Berry Hill Resort for a special couples weekend. Unfortunately, the main house was affected by water damage and strong musty odors, and the spa services fell short of expectations. Upon arrival, it was immediately clear that the mansion was dealing with a major water issue. The entire second floor (where our suite was located) had multiple dehumidifiers and fans running, and the air was heavy with a musty, moldy smell. While the suite itself was climate controlled, the environment was unpleasant, and it was obvious that water damage was actively being managed. Because of this, we asked to be moved to the newer hotel wing. That section of the property was much fresher, cleaner, and comfortable. However, while the staff did accommodate the move, we were disappointed that we were not refunded the approximately $250 difference in room rate. We paid for the Bruce Suite, but ended up in a standard hotel room instead. To be clear, there are positives here: • The grounds and setting are beautiful. • Staff were polite and tried to be accommodating. • The newer wing is in better condition and provides a much more comfortable stay. But future guests should know I strongly recommend avoiding the historic main house rooms. If you’re considering Berry Hill, book a room in the newer wing. The suites are located in the main house and they should be avoided. The spa services were as other reviewers have stated - hit and miss. Out of three couples, two had "good" experiences, but one never received their treatment because the staff couldn't accomodate the pre-booked time. Rates are charged at a high-end level, but service quality doesn't match the pricing. This could be a fantastic resort experience, but right now the mansion suites do not deliver the comfort or health standards expected at this price point. The newer hotel section is fine. Other feedback: We enjoyed our dinner at Darby's Tavern. Our food was excellent and we had excellent service. We ate there twice during our weekend stay. Molasses Grill in nearby Halifax, VA is not to be missed. Excellent food and service. Would highly recommend this resturant. It's about 10 minutes away from the Berry Hill. Factory Street Brewing is a welcoming community space with friendly staff and good beer - highly recommended.
