My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights. The mansion is gorgeous filled with so many beautiful things and lots of history. Claudia (the Innkeeper) is kind, friendly and accommodating. We loved everything about this place and will be back!

This place is fantastic! Don't miss out. We will definitely re book. The owner is hospitable and on top of every detail. Beautiful Rooms , Easy safe parking, delicious breakfast, very convenient to I85 I95

Claudia is the consummate host. She pays particular attention to even the smallest details to make certain guests feel welcome and comfortable. The property is very well maintained and has the personal touches that maintain the authenticity of the house and her sense of style. Could not has asked for a better experience during our stay.

I stayed here during a solo trip and it’s now favorite stay. The home was beautiful and it felt comfortable and safe. The owner was so sweet and an amazing host. Highly recommend staying here.

Amazing hospitality!!!

Our host was gracious and attentive. What a beautifully restored old home she offers her guests. The rooms are large with A/C and very comfortable. The dining room options are also beautifully restored. A real treat!

We loved this Inn, it was so historic and charming. Breakfast was delicious, and we appreciate having an alternative to chain hotels.

Mansion was beautiful, very historical to the area.

This bed and breakfast is not to be missed! The mansion is stunning and the caretaker sweet as can be. Every detail was lovingly crafted. I could not recommend this property more highly and I look forward to visiting again soon.

Delightful! Very comfortable

Claudia greeted us as we arrived and gave a a tour of the downstairs area. Coffee and tea are available as well as wine and water. There had been a problem with our reservation and we had received an upgrade to a suite with no additional charge. Claudia is a gracious host and we loved our stay. We will be back.

Close to Virginia State University, clean, comfortable and lovely. Great food and service as well! Must visit, event just to get away for a weekend if you have no reason to be there.

Beautiful and pleasant, quiet.

It was a lovely experience. Grateful to stay at this historic bed & breakfast.

Great place Don’t pass it by

Wonderful! An extremely charming charming place

It was a beautiful surprise, superior to commercial hotel/motel accomodations. Claudia is a very gracious and informative innkeeper.

The owner and operator was amazing!! Would certainly stay there again

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!

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.

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.

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.

Claudia was wonderful and the place was elegant and beautiful.

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!

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.

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.

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!!

Beautiful place.

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!

Historic mansion in historic section of Petersburg. Better than the chains; excellent value

Relaxing, great service, had snacks and drinks available in the evening, and delicious breakfast! The rooms were spacious!

Wonderful property and Claudia the innkeeper was delightful.
