A review from "Chesapeake Bay Magazine", January 2001 Edition
"Yorktown has a modern motel right on the town beach.  But for a little atmosphere, one of the two B&Bs in town is vastly preferable.  We stayed at the York river Inn, managed by the extremely hospitable William Cole.  Cole has the easy grace of a native Virginian and he is a fine and dedicated cook.  He uses a blowtorch to brown his crème brulees, and we couldn't come close to doing justice to the flan, egg and artichoke casserole or clam pudding (he calls it Clam-Alama-Ding-Dong) he served us for breakfast.  Cole has also decorated his B&B, which is actually ensconced in a modern townhouse on a bluff overlooking the river, with an impressive and fascinating collection of period prints and maps related to Virginia during the Revolutionary War."
