    A lovely weekend

    April 15, 2013

    We met friends for lunch in Washington and attended a concert in the evening at the Tar Heel Variety Theater in Chocowinity. The Moss House provided the perfect venue for a wonderful visit to this part of North Carolina. The rooms are beautifully decorated, but not to the point of making one feel uncomfortable. The bedrooms are particularly spacious, and the common areas are very welcoming. Breakfast was delicious, and we had the perfect amount of attention from our hosts who made sure we had what we needed but were not the least intrusive. The best part was the personal attention we received from Rebecca prior to our visit, who helped us coordinate our plans with our friends. It just could not have been nicer. We will hope to return someday!

    Excellant!

    March 14, 2013

    Very accomodating and welcoming. Breakfast was a real treat. Insist her 93 year old mother is there to entertain you while eating. Very interesting history of the house and area. Great views just a block away Antique shops are full and just down the street. Wait 'til you see the sun setting over the river during your downtown walk. Can't wait to go back.

    Fantastic treasure in Wsshington, NC

    September 24, 2012

    My husband and I (mid 30's) have stayed at many B&B's over the years and this one ranks among our very favorites. Becky and Scott were above and beyond accommodating to our late arrival needs and we thoroughly enjoyed our talks with them in the mornings. Breakfasts were delicious and they graciously accommodated my husband's protein diet. We stayed in the Estuary, a nicely appointed room with a separate bath. The bathroom had additional small tables which I found quite helpful in getting ready in the mornings - I find most B&Bs fail to provide sufficent table space. We would definitely recommend The Moss House for a great B&B experience!

    A Great Wedding Weekend!

    June 30, 2012

    My wife and I were in Washington for a wedding and decided to stay at the Moss House, and it was a great choice. Breakfast each morning was fabulous, and Rebecca and Scott were incredibly informative as they gave us advice on places to explore in Washington while we were there. The house is walking distance from the beautiful Pamlico River and downtown Washington. What an incredible value!

    Wonderful, relaxing getaway!

    June 20, 2012

    My wife and I stayed three nights recently and were very pleased with The Moss House and Becky and Scott. It's a great location within walking distance of shops and restaurants, and of course the beautiful Pamlico River. We plan to go back there in the Fall.

    Bucket List Retreat Birthday

    May 21, 2012

    The Moss House exceeded every expectation of ambience, attention to comfort, and hospitality on my “bucket” birthday celebrated over the Easter Sunday weekend. Beckie called to confirm my reservation and to inquire about any dietary restrictions. Her delectable gourmet breakfasts were accompanied by specialty “Moss House” coffee. And, there were Moss House coffee mugs, homemade soaps unique handmade gifts available. Scott and Beckie are environmentally sensitive, without the "soapbox "stand. Downtown “Little Washington” was steps 189 away, and returning from it, the Moss House garden invited and delighted. The Moss House decor artfully incorporates original historical objects and family memorabilia of the innkeepers. I borrowed from their eclectic library offerings and indulged in 1940’s drawing lessons. While I enjoyed meeting other guests, I appreciated the option of taking breakfast in my room. I felt like an honored guest. My only regret was that I didn’t have more time to savor the Moss House experience.

    Moss House B&B is lovely

    May 06, 2012

    The Moss House is such a gem! Becki and Tim are wonderful hosts who take excellent care of their guests. We so enjoyed both porches, the swing and the fabulous breakfast. Every detail is thought of to make for an excellent stay from high quality linens, beautiful furnishings, chocolates and bottled water.
