- Kevin (10/5): A pleasant flash-back to a charming & romantic era - My stay in this absolutely charming bed-and-breakfast built in 1856 was such a refreshing change from the many hotels I’ve stayed in my travels.

- Jennifer (10/5): - This property was very clean and absolutely beautiful. The innkeeper was very friendly and accommodating. When I arrived , I was a little confused about getting into the building & there was a live dj / party across the street that rattled the windows until 10:00pm. After they closed that down, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Room was fantastic, bed was comfortable and the breakfast was exceptional! Overall I would definitely recommend The Ragland Mansion.

- Vergil (10/5): - Ragland Mansion was a very large private home begun in 1850 and completed in 1856. After many years of various uses including apartments it was restored to close to original and made into a comfortable B&B. Claudia, the Innkeeper, is fantastic. She runs the show and makes sure the breakfast you order appears at your table at exactly the right time. She knows the area and is gifted with the perfect disposition for hospitality.
- David (10/5): - Our gracious host Claudia greeted us at the door and showed us around her wonderfully-restored 1850s Italianate-style house (which she and her mother restored). The house is elegant and rooms are spotless. In the morning, Claudia serves breakfast in one of the beautiful rooms of your choice. A wonderful house and highly recommended as a B&B stop.

- Christopher (10/5): - It was a beautiful surprise, superior to commercial hotel/motel accomodations. Claudia is a very gracious and informative innkeeper.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The owner and operator was amazing!! Would certainly stay there again
- Johnny (10/5): A mansion built by a royal family - Fantastic property, being restored to better than it was originally, by owners who sincerely went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Surprisingly generous amenities (multiple types of coffee and tea options available 24/7, and a fridge for free bottled drinks, along with a fantastic breakfast buffet.) This is the place to stay, in Petersburg!
- Claude (10/5): - As a road-tripper who can’t resist a Civil War site, the Petersburg National Battlefield lured me to Petersburg VA. Then I was lured by the Ragland Mansion B&B. Petersburg is a really old town which is showing both age and rebirth, and no doubt the Ragland is playing a role in this new era. What a gem. I arrived near sunset; the light on the brick façade was stunning. The parking lot was a little tight and I was unsure how to get in, but the owner came out to greet me. What a welcoming environment. The grounds are lovingly tended and the entry is eye-popping. High ceilings with intricate carvings, soaring staircases. Victorian furniture, art and lighting. (Ask Claudia about Joseph Cotton and Black-Jack Pershing.) Choose from several breakfast options and let the staff know the time. Stroll into town for dinner. Blocks of ancient and empty buildings, some of which were there during the Siege of Petersburg. But new restaurants, coffee shops and live music can be seen. The sushi place was good. My room at Ragland was spacious and quiet. Love the clawfoot tub. The wooden writing desk made me want to trade my laptop for a quill pen. There’s a TV but it felt almost disrespectful to turn it on. Firm mattress, hot shower, coffeemakers everywhere. Breakfast came at the perfect time. The amazing architecture of the Ragland is matched by the charming hospitality of Claudia and her team.
- Jeffrey (8/5): A Pleasant Pass-through - Very gracious host and wonderful breakfast - good overnight stay on a longer journey. The neighborhood isn't anything to write home about. It's safe, and we didn't really explore it very much, but our sense was that there wasn't anything really worth exploring. Quirky bathroom set-up but that's part of the B&B experience. Window a/c was loud and difficult to set for comfortable sleep, but that's part of the price for charm. And the house is very charming - high ceilings, elegant rooms, fun history. I accept the quirks for the charm and a great breakfast.
- Heidi (10/5): - Claudia was an extremely nice host. She is truly a kind and gentle soul. This home is an amazing tribute to the past and if you enjoy history you will love this place.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Simply lovely. - Claudia was wonderful and the place was elegant and beautiful.
- Thomas (10/5): Great stop in Petersburg - From the moment we arrived the owner met us at the door and welcomed us. She showed us around, suggested a couple of dinner places, and made us feel welcome. She has the gift of hospitality!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great find - Very low-key and friendly check in. Got a great tour of the facility and went to a very good restaurant they recommended. Very spacious room and comfortable furnishings. Nice to see a historic building have a new life.
- LYDIA B (10/5): Love history B&B - Our stay for Virginia Garden Week was wonderful. Claudia makes the stay and experience special. Breakfast to order is incredible. Lovely place and very historic.
- John (10/5): - Property is well and beautifully maintained and owner Claudia is so warm and welcoming us to her home, gave us lots of history story of the mansion., breakfast is delicious and the time to serve the breakfast is flexible for our schedules!! Love this beautiful mansion and giving it a 5 stars rating!!
- Marina (10/5): - Beautiful place.
- James (10/5): - This is a beautiful old property that is superbly decorated and maintained. It was like stepping back in time to the 19th century. Even more impressive than the property is the owner/proprietor, Claudia. What a marvelous host! Informative, engaging and very welcoming. My wife & I enjoyed talking with her, learning about her and learning about the Petersburg area. Staying at the Ragland Mansion was a highlight of our trip!
- gordon (10/5): - Historic mansion in historic section of Petersburg. Better than the chains; excellent value
- JAMES (10/5): - Wonderful property and Claudia the innkeeper was delightful.
- Isaac (10/5): - Relaxing, great service, had snacks and drinks available in the evening, and delicious breakfast! The rooms were spacious!

- Shelley (10/5): - Our room (library room) was very nice, clean, and comfortable. The breakfast was amazing. Claudia, the innkeeper, was very charming, hospitable, and friendly. If I am ever back in Petersburg, I will definitely stay at the Ragland Mansion again.
- Judith (10/5): - We felt so fortunate to find Claudia's lovely Ragland Mansion B&B in historic Petersburg. Our room was spacious and the bed the most comfortable of a long trip, and breakfast delicious. Petersburg and the mansion itself are filled with a history worth understanding. The old section of town is being restored and worth exploring. Dinner at Brick House Run was delicious. Claudia, thanks again for the conversations.
- Edward (10/5): - I wish we would have been closer to dining options. After a 8 hour drive, I wasn't feeling getting back in the car and find a restaurant downtown. Otherwise the stay was very pleasant. Ms Claudia was a wonderful hostess. Thanks again..
- Christine (10/5): - Charming, historic yet comfortable with private bathroom. Hopefully this area will begin to thrive in the coming years since the Raglund Mansion is a gem.
- Debra (10/5): - Wonderful place to stay. We absolutely loved it. Could not have been treated better. Breakfast was delicious. Everywhere I looked I discovered something unique. We will be back to stay!
- Matthew (10/5): THE best bed and breakfast - This was the best lodging experience in have ever had! The place is elegant and almost regal and makes your feel like the moment you walk in. Even thought it has this rich aura about it you are made to feel very at home by the hostess Claudia. She is very kind and responsive to any of your request and is knowledgeable about the history of the mansion. She makes hot breakfast fresh each morning that is absolutely delicious and brings it out to you right after she finishes cooking. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were extremely spacious and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. My only regret is that we only booked one night. Can't wait to stay here again!
- Sam (10/5): - Nice place.
- Richard (10/5): A very nice place to stay - They are very accommodating and very friendly. It’s beautiful period Mansion. We totally enjoyed our stay and I recommend this place.
- Philip (10/5): What a great find - Claudia goes out of her way to make your stay special and as comfortable as posible. She puts great care and love into her exquisite breakfasts, makes sure that quests have fresh fruit and water and other drinks available 24/7. It is a unique and historic building 5 minutes from the vibrant downtown scene. Petersburg is a truly historical town, I recommend that those who visit, stay at Ragland Mansion.
- Rebecca (10/5): Worth the experience! - The mansion was beautifully decorated and the hostess,Claudia was gracious. We had dinner at the English Pub only a half mile away. So far it’s been a lovely stay!
- Debra (10/5): - I like that the property was well-maintained, clean, and elegant. Very peaceful, quiet, calm, and friendly atmosphere, Debra S.
- Joe (10/5): - We loved our stay. This is a beautiful historic home. Claudia was attentive and friendly. Breakfast was very nice! We will definitely stay again.
- Julie (10/5): - The property is gorgeous. The staff was very friendly. They offered complimentary beverages and showed us around the house. There was a driveway in back to park in. They offered suggestions for dinner at a local brewery which was great. The other properties around the bed&breakfast was a little run down.
- Sherry (10/5): - We had a great stay.
- Casey (10/5): - Wonderful!!
- Earnest (10/5): Super find on a trip - Tremendous customer service and great breakfast. Very happy overall
- Jeremy (10/5): A wonderful Southern Treasure - It was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend staying here, especially if you are a history buff.

- Donald (10/5): - The property is lovely and Claudia is an amazing host. Breakfast was great, and she gave us a dinner suggestion that was perfect. For the money, you can't possibly do better.
- Steve (10/5): - Beautiful old mansion. But definitely stay there again.
- tina (10/5): - Claudia was wonderful! Beautiful place. Clean and quiet!

- Robert (10/5): - It is a beautiful antebellum southern mansion. I was expecting Vivian Leigh to walk down the stairs. Claudia was a great hostess.
- Samuel (10/5): - Claudia the hostess was excellent! Breakfast was delicious Wonderful stay!
- Janet (10/5): One of the nicest B&B’s I have stayed. - The Ragland B&B is one of the nicest places I have stayed (I travel each week for my job.) The place is historically decorated, and the rooms are clean. Claudia was the perfect hostess; she greeted me and showed me around the place. She was also very accommodating to my special needs, changing my room so I did not have to go upstairs (I just recently had knee replacement surgery.) The beds were comfortable and the rooms had all the amenities you could need; fluffy towels, spa robes, etc. You have your choice of breakfast items, and the food was made fresh and prepared on time. I especially enjoyed learning the history of the place and walking through her beautiful gardens.
- Philip (10/5): Historic Glam - Our host was awesome! She was so accommodating and friendly. The little touches like complementary glass of wine, beer and beverages on arrival were nice.
