    Immaculately clean, wonderfully cozy, and two very caring and engaging Innkeepers. Breakfast was a delight. The bed was great. Barbara and Suzanne have done a wonderful job with the restoration of this historic home. Their addition of a sunny breakfast room added so much to our stay. We have a lot of exerience with B&B's and this one is definitely an A Plus.

    My Mother and I throughly enjoyed the owners. They were so friendly and helpful with our visit. Our bedroom was like a storybook event. Verry comfortable. Our breakfast was yummy and served in china with lacey table cloths surrounded with antiques and pottery. The conversation with others visiting the Inn was a delight. They shared their previous experience and knowledge of the area. Our stay at the Inn made our trip a treasured memory. Thanks to Barbara and Suzanne.

    Feels like home!

    Barbara and Suzanne are warm and friendly, caring and helpful. You are treated like old friends come to stay, and they will advise on potters and restaurants and give you directions to the zoo. The inn is immaculately clean and every detail has been thought of. The decor is both elegant and cosy. The breakfast room is bright. Breakfast is delicious and maybe too abundant. All around are samples of pottery from Seagrove potters with their cards, so you have a head start in deciding where to visit. Hot water for tea is served in one of several Seagrove teapots. The beds are so comfortable, and we found the temperature inside just right. Your bed is turned down for the night and the shades are drawn. We couldn't wait to get back to our room ! Because of old plumbing, the hot water takes its time getting to the shower but then it's fine. An ideal location for potterying and for the zoo.
