The Berry Hill Resort & Conference Center

About The Hotel

Berry Hill Resort & Conference Center is a 4.2-rated 700-acre historic estate resort in Southside Virginia — a hotel wing plus historic-mansion suites, pool, spa with couples-massage bookings (Agnes gets 5-star praise), hiking trails, bicycle rentals, Darby’s Tavern and conference facilities. Subratings run 4.1–4.5 with cleanliness (4.5) and sleep quality (4.5) the strongest. One 2025 review of the Bruce Suite in the historic mansion flags water damage and musty odors — book the newer hotel wing rather than the mansion suites for the reliable experience.

What Guests Are Saying

“This is a wonderful hidden gem!!! Everything was so beautiful. Our first time but not our last. No other hotel in South Boston Va can hold a candle to The Berry Hill Hotel & Conference Center. We have been to all of the other hotels & this is by far the best. Customer service was amazing! Thank you all so much!!” — Johanna B., 5 stars

“This was my 5th visit and for a reason-it’s a great place. The service is excellent, the staff is attentive. The brunch is wholesome and with plenty of variety but I wish there are more freshly prepared and healthier items on the menu like salads and grilled food. I will definitely be coming back.” — John, 5 stars

“The room and basic facilities were very nice, clean and well-maintained. The breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. Darby’s Tavern had great food and a great assortment of beverages. I could not find an ice machine that worked anywhere in the complex. Truly a beautiful facility!” — Richard K., 5 stars
