    This is not the first time we have been to the Ashby Inn. We have returned there several times over the years and we have always enjoyed excellent service and cuisine. The rooms have always been well appointed and comfortable. This visit was no exception. The location is also a big plus if you are interested in visiting Virginia wineries. Several excellent wineries are close by, such as Linden and Glen Manor Vineyards. If you bring up The Ashby Inn on Google Maps and search for nearby wineries, you will find quite a few. The north section of Shenandoah National Park is also close by. The north entrance at Front Royal is only 30 minutes from the inn.

    We stayed at the Inn to celebrate our anniversary. Room was lovely. The restaurant is in a beautiful historic rustic building with tons of charm. Waitstaff was attentive however never was asked if we wanted to see the sommelier nor were we approached. Given their extensive wine menu that was surprising. Appetizers and dessert were excellent. My Dover Sole was too salty which completely masked the fish. My husband’s scallops were good but slightly overcooked so rubbery. We were prepared for an expensive meal having seen the menu but felt it was overpriced for the experience.
