The Inn At Bingham School

My husband and I have stayed at The Inn at Bingham School on several occasions and each time we have had a wonderful time. The rooms are lovely and clean, and the innkeepers are welcoming and gracious. We will definitely stay here again and recommend it enthusiastically.

Beautiful location in an old school house with beautiful gardens, excellent breakfast, and a congenial host (and host dog). No wine and cheese in sight from 5-7, but discovered after the fact that you had to request it--so be forewarned!

Quiet area, little contact with host couple.

The period detail in the Inn is fabulous, and Francois & Christina did it all in a way that enhanced our comfort. Francois himself made some of the beautiful furniture: other pieces are antiques. Both of our rooms came with natural gas fireplaces and whirlpool tubs. I found a comfortable pique bathrobe hanging in my closet and a writing table for my laptop. They had even provided a glass water carafe and chocolate chip cookies. Breakfast (two courses!) was superb.

The Inn at Bingham School will impress you in every way should you choose to stay there. The hospitality of the hosts and the aesthetics make for such a pleasant stay that I just can't say enough good things!

Very spacious room. Enjoyed gas log fireplace. Met all my expectations on other items. We didn't need much. Owner was friendly. The scenery is excellent - farms and silos - pure countryside.

I reserved the 1801 Room at The Inn at Bingham School for a Saturday night getaway with my sweetie. Francois greeted us and recommended that we check out The Eddy, a local pub for sunset drinks and dinner (it was delicious!). Our room was clean, quiet, and comfortable, and we loved the fireplace and bathtub. We enjoyed exploring the gorgeous grounds, lounging in the hammock, and petting the friendly cat and dog, and we loved our breakfast of homemade pumpkin bread and German apple puff pancake. We had a great time and would love to visit again.

Very charming old place. Alot of old wood and brick. Very nice room with warm bedding and fireplace. Wished we had more time to enjoy the nice property.

What a gem, and only 10 minutes from Chapel Hill, and 5 from the charming River Mill Town Saxapahaw with some good dining options. We should all be indebted to Francois and Christina, and the previous owners 20 odd years back, for rescuing this bit of NC history and creating an outstanding b&b. We found bo fault with this inn, where we stayed for our days. It was authentic, lovely, restful and the breakfasts were delicious. Rusty's Room was perfect. Large, open, airy with a nice split bathroom. Wine in the lovely living room was a delight, and breakfasts in the serene, colonial dining room were memorable. Francois was likeable, helpful and a consummate host.

We spent two lovely, peaceful nights in the 1801 room that was full of comfort and character. A lot of history. Wonderful hosts. Surrounded by pecan trees. We still wonder how they got the holiday lights up in that great old pecan tree. --Jeff and Brenda

We stayed at the Inn to be close by to the wedding of a student. We were very happy with the accomodations, food and hospitality. We loved the animals and the swing. We would love to come back in warmer weather to stroll the grounds and just lay in the hammock. Francois gave us a great recommendation for dinner - Check out Provence - it was awesome. Thanks to our hosts for a lovely time.

This is the first place when I felt comfortable walking barefoot! Very clean, fantastic breakfasts, and gorgeous setting. Could not ask for more, I'll be back!

We love this place....Charming and outstanding in ecery way!

François and Christina were superb hosts, gracious and professional in every way. I found the Inn to be ideally comfortable and convenient, as clean as you could possibly ask, and with generous breakfasts prepared and served with the care you would expect at a fine restaurant. François and Christina even expertly accommodated my gluten-free restriction which I had neglectfully failed to mention in advance of my arrival. 10/10 would stay again.

What a great stay. Francois was most gracious. What beautiful grounds. Next time we will come when it is cooler to enjoy walking the property.

Beautiful grounds, tastefully decorated rooms and rich history surround you at this lovely inn. We enjoyed our stay.

My husband and I stayed in Room 1801 on January 13, 2012. The room, house, and grounds were beautiful. We really enjoyed the wine and cheese and breakfast. Francois, one of the owners, was friendly and shared with us lots of information about the history of the Inn (which we both found fascinating). We had a great time and reccommend staying at the Inn at Bingham School to everyone!

The milkhouse cottage was wonderful, but we both declared the bed was uncomfortable, which is the only reason the room was "okay but below average." The bed is a big part of "bed and breakfast." Linens were wonderful. When the riding lawnmower started up outside the cottage at 8 am...not a happy camper. We were there on a Mon-Tues, but wouldn't you change your lawn service if you had customers? We then kept the drapes closed from the gorgeous view because of the lawn guy. Breakfast was disappointing. Didn't offer a refill of juice or a glass of water, which would have been nice. They ran out of coffee. We had to knock on the "employees only" door to request more coffee. The grounds were beautiful, but beside a road with lots of traffic noise, which you do not hear inside, but sitting outside. We didn't know the wine and cheese was included in the cost of the room - would have enjoyed that.

We are sorry your stay with us was disappointing. With 10 acres of grounds to maintain we try to balance landscaping needs and our guests comfort. We limit the lawnmower to weekdays and never earlier than the breakfast hour. Thank you for your input on the mattress in the Milkhouse Cottage, we have listened to your concerns and have purchased a new pillow top mattress. All of our amenities may be found on our website. Your comfort is our priority and we welcome any comments that help us improve our service.

Spacious, comfortable room, nicely appointed, great bedding. Spacious, comfortable bath. Nice setting & F.P.

Beautiful, serene, country historical Inn with friendly cat, "Buster".

I chose this B&B because of the history of the place. The only plus of this choice is the beautiful, pastoral setting. The room was adequate, but the outside appearance is really bad....apparently there is no upkeep in that area. I walked through several spider webs while there. The innkeeper was lacking in personality and hospitality. I have heard that about the French, and it must be true. He never thanked us for staying with him, asked if everything was okay or urged us to come back. Francois was the only person we ever saw, so I assume he is running the place solo now. Breakfast was a huge disappointment. It was frozen puff pastry filled with apple slices, a small glass of juice, and no decaf coffee, served to us in a grumpy manner. The grounds are beautiful and I appreciate the history of the place greatly, but I feel the rooms are overpriced. A gracious host would have gone a long way towards making this a pleasant experience. This was our first B&B ever and I wish it had been better.

Excellent experience - beautiful Inn. Professional yet warm staff. Will definitely go back!

Set in the country side outside Chapel Hill, this retreat offered very comfortable beds, updated baths, a quiet nights rest and a peaceful country setting. Francois was very accommodating, pointing out a nice run, some tasty restaurants and friendly conversation. Christina's cooking was a delight - the german apple pancake was especially delicious.

If you like historical places to stay, this is the place for you! Over 200 years of history...very relaxing and beautiful place to stay.

A lovely inn; pretty grounds with lots of birds, convenient walking paths, quiet and peaceful. Our room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. Yummy breakfast - and maybe the best chocolate chip cookies surprised us each evening.

We changed to stay at the Inn only after not being able to book a room at hotels nearby. Next time, the Inn will be our first pick and we will highly recommend to friends & family visiting the CH area!

Friendly innkeepers. Prompt service. Tranquil setting. Delicious breakfast. Family atmosphere.

The room was very clean, the cookies were delicious that were left each night and the breakfast was outstanding. The only downside is there is not much room for parking if there are a lot of guests staying at the same time.

Delightful stay. Beautiful Grounds. Very interesting inkeeper. My grandfather attended Bingham School in 1876. I've recommended this B&B to all of my relatives.

this was a nice place to stay at

WE WILL BE BACK!

Lovely Inn, kind hosts, and wonderful park-like grounds. Cottage was quaint and cozy. Bathtub needs updating. Overall, very nice!

We stayed in the milk house during our anniversary weekend. This tiny cottage feels like a dollhouse! You have the benefit of the beautiful surroundings and the feel of the country house while having the privacy of your own seperate entrace, bath, and sitting room. We loved it and would certainly come again.
