Nestled in the heart of Ghent, one of Norfolk’s most beloved historic neighborhoods, The Little English Guesthouse brings a proper taste of England to Virginia’s coastal gem. This intimate three-room bed and breakfast blends old-world British charm.
Each room is individually appointed with touches from across the pond — Union Flag pillows, tartan throws, china tea sets, and fluffy white robes — all paired with modern comforts and private en-suite bathrooms. Mornings begin with a complimentary English-inspired breakfast, and evenings wind down in a cozy common room overlooking a peaceful garden just blocks from the Elizabeth River. Step outside and you’re within walking distance of Ghent’s eclectic dining scene, charming boutiques, and the world-class Chrysler Museum of Art. Take a short drive and you’re on the waterfront, exploring the NEON Arts District, or catching a sunset along the Norfolk Elizabeth River Trail. Guests don’t just stay here — they’re welcomed like old friends, greeted by name, handed a hot cup of tea, and pointed toward the city’s best-kept secrets before they even have to ask. Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend getaway, visiting for a show at the Attucks Theatre, or simply looking for a quieter alternative to the downtown hotel scene, The Little English Guesthouse is the kind of place that turns a visit to Norfolk into something you didn’t know you needed.
