This particular B&B is exceptional and highly attractive for casual, mature travelers. A stuning classic colonial that offers an outstanding level of thoughtful details. The property, owned and managed by John and Beth Blackwelder, provide comfortable period style accommodations that are safe, quiet and convenient to the lovely coastal town of New Bern. An excellent breakfast with coffee is served with a smile and courtesy often uncommon in todays world. Great value and very enjoyable weekend getaway!

Beautiful property with an incredible room. It is called “The Hidden Room” because it is outside the second floor with its own private entrance. It is romantic, luxurious and comfortable. There is a staircase directly to parking or you can access through the Inn. Bed is amazing and all amenities are provided. Beth did a great job showing us the building, which has been wonderfully restored. Several fine dining options are within walking distance. This is a true find and we will include in our future sojourns south to visit our son in St Augustine.

It is a lovely B&B. There were a few things that could be better. The room was very cold and blew right onto the bed. The bed in the Tuscarora room is short and was a bit of a problem for my husband. Also, the bathroom lighting is inadequate. It was very difficult to see and to feel confident about applying makeup. The space is great, and the decor is stylish. Also, cleanliness is top notch. Great breakfast and a wonderful tour by Beth!

This was a wonderful property with a great historical feel. I was not familiar with New Bern before and I would love to go back to learn more about its history. I would definitely stay here again. The host took us on a personal tour of the property and explained the amenities and answered questions. The bed was comfortable and the bath was modern. Our room was one of the smaller ones, but it was very comfortable. Breakfast was especially delicious.
