Holmhead Holidays from £844

We occupied a 2 bedroom cabin and liked the privacy and ability to relax in the living area and outside deck. However, we had to call twice to get the HVAC thermostat fixed, had no wifi, the landline phone had no dial tone, and the bedrooms were strangely furnished. The beds were comfy and the linens very high quality. However, there was no mirror in the primary bedroom, two small desk-type lamps on the nightstands and no other source of light in the dark primary room. In both bedrooms, a large TV monopolized the dresser top so there was no room for our own belongings. The bathroom had only one towel rod and no other place for the towels and wash cloths for 4 adults and no suitable place in the bedrooms either. Linens aren't replaced daily so we had a wet problem to deal with. Reception for the tvs was very poor. All in all, it seemed there were some poorly thought out details that need attention in order to make this a consistently high quality comfortable experience. We did not use the sports or other amenities but the grounds were lovely, as was the main Lodge.

I would’ve given this hotel five stars, had I been charged their normal rack rates. It’s brand new, beautiful, and has an extremely friendly and professional staff. Unfortunately, at nearly $1000 per night on graduation weekend, it raises the expectations and the hotel does not meet that price category of property. It’s a clearly cashing in on a captive audience but seems to be a common theme in the area. That said, as long as you avoid the gauging times, this is an excellent hotel near UVA.

Best experience for our 1 night stay. Loved the vibe!!!

Checked in late at night and was greeted by a very friendly and helpful guy behind the desk. Didn’t stay long at the hotel but it seemed to have all the amenities one could want. Would highly recommend.

Great place! New and very clean. I would stay here again.
