My partner and I visited the Truitt House in July of 2021 for our Anniversary. The fact that I have a motivation(and some guilt, because of how great it was) to leave a review 6 months later is testament to Ruth's amazing hospitality during our stay. Her hard work and dedication to this beautiful property and its visitors is astonishing. She deserves all the love and praise that the review section boasts.
Whether we were waking up early or sleeping in, we were greated by Ruth and or one of her lovely notes. Never left the House hungry, as she would leave us something special in the fridge. She

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed and I stayed all over the world. The renovation is perfect and the hostess is the nicest woman. What a beautiful job she did. Thank you for a lovely evening. The mansion is walking distance from great restaurants and shopping. I will definitely be going back!

Probably the most grand B & B I've ever stayed in. Spacious, luxurious and Uber-friendly. We were driving from South Carolina to NYS looking for an overnight stop when I stumbled upon this place. The website does not do it justice. Stately and elegant common rooms, giant bedrooms, modern bathrooms, and a delicious made to order breakfast made by Ruth the proprietor, who is a classically trained French Chef. You can also book dinner there any night of your stay. Unfortunately, we didn't think to do that.

Ruth is an amazing hostess. The Truitt House more than met our expectations. It felt as though we walked back into time to enjoy a piece of history. It is relaxing and inviting. Ruth is also a fantastic chef who provided breakfast each morning and paid special attention to dietary needs. I’m so glad we found this treasure that Suffolk has to offer. We will be back!

My wife and I have a passion for traveling, and share a special penchant for specialty B&B's. The Truitt House was an exceptional find. We were booked into the inn by a client who wanted to make our first visit to Suffolk a memorable one.
The home is a true Southern belle - a grand dame of historic mansions. It has been so lovingly restored and is perfectly appointed. We had so much fun exploring every inch of the home and absorbing its character.

Perfectly delightful! The house has such huge spaces and yet such interesting unique features. The interior is restored with great care, very impressive and very comfortable. The bed in the salmon-colored room is superb, and I'm sure they all are. Breakfast is outstanding, as is Ruth's hospitality in general.

I could not praise Ruth and our stay at her Truitt House highly enough! She is a very gracious host, fantastic chef and an absolute delight to talk to! The restoration of her property was done with such care, I truly felt that I was at home in my own bedroom suite. Each bathroom was so beautifully restored, they were simply pretty to look at. In fact, each room was individually restored in the same manner. The room had it's own separate climate control. I loved that she thought enough about her guests to include this feature during the restoration process. The linens and decor were all top tier

Our stay at the Truitt House was beyond exceptional. It made for the perfect weekend getaway and we only wish our stay could have been longer. The house is absolutely breathtaking, a gorgeous historical mansion that has been fully revived by the wonderful owner, Ruth. Ruth is a formally trained chef and our breakfast was one of the best we have ever had. Our accommodations could not have been more perfect and we can not recommend this place enough. Truly fabulous!

My husband and I stayed at The Truitt House for my birthday. It was a fantastic experience! Ruth is so personable, knowledgeable and talented! Every detail was covered. I have food allergies that I let her know ahead of time and she went out of her way to accommodate. The breakfast was amazing! We enjoyed delicious coffee on the adorable screened in porch. The whole house is beautifully decorated.
We stayed in the king suite and it was so clean and comfortable- we didn’t want to leave! We decided we will be back for my husbands birthday. We live in Suffolk and are so lucky to have discovered

We stayed in Suffolk on a last minute trip, knowing very little about the town or the Truitt House. Upon arrival we were immediately struck with the absolute grandeur of the home and it's incredible renovations. It's a true piece of history, which carries with it the nuances of over a century of unique craftsmanship.
Ruth greeted us warmly and gave an entertaining (but timely) tour of the home. Her description of the home was so informative and made our stay all the more fascinating and rewarding.
When it came time to go out for dinner, Ruth shared all of the info

I stayed in the Truitt House while I was traveling for work. By far this was a much better experience than staying in a hotel. From the moment I stepped into the front door, I felt like I was at home. Ruth had made me feel like I was part of her family. She made me meals that I will never forget. Usually, when I travel I may get one or two good meals but every meal that Ruth made me was extremely delicious. She is an excellent Chef. The house was very clean and peaceful. I had a comfortable bed and was able to sleep well. I plan only to stay at the Truitt House when I travel to Virginia. If you

This place is absolutely incredible! All guest rooms have been renovated and include modern ensuite bathrooms. The internet is great and you are free to use other areas in the house, which was perfect for me since I was in the area for work and spent most of my free time at the house.
The owner, Ruth, is an amazing person who makes you feel welcome yet she is not intrusive so you have plenty of privacy. I am on a special diet and she went out of her way to accommodate my needs. She served breakfast on trays so we could eat by the fire in the library (of course the beautiful dining room was also

From the first moment I arrived at The Truitt House I felt welcome. First it was the house then Ruth the innkeeper.
The mansion, built long ago, has been restored and updated in every category. I've stayed at lots of B&Bs to find them "charming but in need of modern updates." This place has that without losing its original charm from 1909.
Because I'm here for work, I'm purposely spending all my time at the house when not on location and I love to be able to move from study to library to the atrium and other rooms in order to read and for a change of atmosphere

Yes, the home is astonishing -- a marvelous fusion of stateliness, quiet, comfort, and coziness. But the real gem of Truitt House is Ruth, the owner/proprietress. She greets you with a wave of friendliness, and you immediately know you're in the hands of someone with a warm heart and a gift for hospitality. She makes breakfasts that are ample and delicious. She cares about checking on your wellbeing at just the right moments. Her mission is to ensure that your stay is something that gives you joy... and she succeeds.
