About the Inn at Brierley Hill

In 1993 Carol and Barry built the Inn at Brierley Hill as a quiet Shenandoah Valley destination. Awed by such romantic vistas you will barely notice you’ve arrived at your destination. At the time the property was built, the Canadian couple envisioned their brand new bnb as an upscale English country inn. They fell in love with the area and its change of seasons. Barry, a lawyer. and Carole, formerly the director of the National Canadian Figure Skating Association, planned carefully. Carole worked with templates (cutouts of furni-ture) and graph paper to ensure a perfect fit for all appointments. Within five-and-a-half months, Inn at Brierley Hill appeared on this bucolic spot. The Inn was named after an antique clock (circa 1865), purchased in Vancouver. When the family’s *inn-naming committee” finally drew a blank, Barry ended the debate by turning to an antique timepiece for inspiration. Inn at Brierley Hill was inscribed across the face of the antique clock. The clock is noted to have originated in the Staffordshire district of England, near the village of Inn at Brierley Hill. This clock continues to adorn the wall of the foyer today. Through the years the fixtures, furniture and decor have changed but never the spectacular views and the unique lodging experience provided by caring innkeepers that have hearts for hospitality.

As of November 2023, Brad and Yelena became the new owners of the Brierley Hill Bed & Breakfast, now called the Inn at Brierley Hill. Brad and Yelena’s shared passion for travel and hospitality led them to purchase our sister property, the Iris Inn in January 2020. Their vision for their portfolio of unique inns and boutique hotels is to enhance the guest experience in every way possible. Yelena’s elegant tasteful additions including local art combined with Brad’s quest for technology has led to a unique fusion of art and modernization. Using the backdrop of the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains as their inspiration they have added to the magical quality of the property to create a rejuvenating getaway. Brad and Yelena will translate their love of nature into the Inn at Brierley Hill.
