    My husband Paul, surprised me with an over night stay at the Bridgewater Hall Bed an Breakfast over the Labor day weekend in 2008. WE really enjoyed our stay & the innkeepers, David & Keith were very kind and down to earth. We had a great time discussing the history of the area as well as listening to the live piano concert provided by one of our hosts; I'll let you find out which one! The suite was immaculate & the mood was very calming. I look forward to returning to spend more time at the "old house". Thank you so much Keith & David.

    Our stay at the Bridgewater Inn was delightful. Being first time visitors at a bed and breakfast we weren’t sure what to expect but David made us feel right at home. The rooms were immaculate and tastefully decorated staying true to the homes period. The pictures don’t do this place justice. The beds were comfortable unlike most hotel mattresses. David was very accommodating during our stay and recommended local restaurants, wineries, and parks for entertainment. The locals had true southern hospitality and welcomed us with open arms. David prepared our breakfast every morning which was outstanding. We ate dinner at Low-Country and Yiannis, the crab cakes were out of this world, which I would highly recommend. The best burgers in town I would have to say would be at Oak Hill Grill, hands down. Overall our stay was wonderful and we couldn’t have asked for more. We are currently planning our trip in spring to go back to see the beautiful flowers blossom. We can’t wait to go back.

    First, I must say that usually when you see photos of a Bed & Breakfast on the internet; a lot of times the photos are not current or the Bed & Breakfast place you stay at does not look like the phots. But, in this case let me say that Bridgewater Hall looks just like the photos in everyway possible. The decor was wonderful and David really captures that ole' school flavor of what a true B&B should look like and feel like. Now with that being said, my girlfriend and I stayed for 3 days and let this be known as I will place this in capital letters. "THE BEST IN THE B&B BUSINESS"! David, you are the best at what you do and I hope that you will keep this place for many years to come. We loved our room, it had all the essentials you would have at home including satellite TV. You allowed us to check in late as we were traveling from Ohio. The food is MAGNIFICENT! That salmon breakfast with poached eggs was wonderful and you can tell that David really loves to make sure his guest are treated the way he would want to be treated. He gave us a key to come and go as we pleased and was just so gracious and laidback everytime we interacted with him. David made us feel at HOME! We were close enough to fine dining but far enough away from everything till all you could hear were the crickets at night. David even played a selection on the piano as we were heading out to meet family. Very accomplished pianist! THE BEST OF THE BEST! David, thank you so much for a wonderful experience at Bridgewater Hall! We hope to get back down there one more time before the year is up and hopefully if your not booked up, we will definitely stay at Bridgewater Hall. To all of those who read this review; take my word for it as I have traveled extensively across the country, Bridgewater Hall is a JEWEL and THE PERSONAL TOUCH that David provides is like no other! David, once again thank you for being a person that really makes you feel like one of the family! Daryl & Dawn

    One of the best places I've ever stayed!

    First of all, the location for this B&B is wonderful -- walking distance to Lake James and Lake James State park, and with a creek in the back yard! Just 45 minutes east of Asheville. Beautiful fountains, gardens, a gazebo, and porches where we sat and enjoyed the outdoors. Had the weather been cooler, we would have used the outdoor fireplace. Secondly, David was very solicitous -- he allowed us an early check-in and a late check-out, with no problems (nor extra money required). The home is beautiful, and feels very welcoming. We were very comfortable there. Our room had its own controls for air-conditioning and heating (and a different heating thermostat for the bathroom - how cool!), and beautiful views from the windows. Our room also had a small refrigerator already stocked with complimentary bottled water. It was clean, the bed and pillows quite comfortable, and the decor was amazing. Breakfast was great, and David worked around my food allergies with no trouble at all (and he was so very nice about it). All in all, we'll definitely stay here again, and will recommend this to our friends and family -- Such a treasure!

    The host was very gracious, the breakfast was excellent, the antique furnishings and decor were very nicely apportioned, location beautiful, close enough to the interstate to be convenient, but far enough away to feel secluded. Nearby Lake James State Park was very enjoyable.
