Ivy Bed and Breakfast


  • Inn Details

    The Ivy Bed and Breakfast is an warm and romantic 1903 Victorian home in historic Warrenton, North Carolina, near Lake Gaston and the Kerr Lake reservoir--a few miles from I-85 and I-95, and a short drive from Richmond, VA, Raleigh, NC and Henderson, NC. The Ivy is just a leisurely stroll to quaint downtown antique shops, historic churches and a courthouse square, on Main Street, USA. A full, candlelit breakfast is served on fine china in the elegant dining room and we discuss with you what you would like to eat. The menu can range from traditional Southern to "fancier" fare.

    My husband and I love getting away to the Ivy and our favorite -Edwina Rooker- room. We feel so welcome and comfortable with each stay. Jerry & Ellen are a fabulous team in the kitchen and the food is amazing! We enjoy walking around the down town area and relaxing in the evening. The claw foot tub works perfectly and continues to draw me back. We highly recommend this bnb, it's the best one we have visited in Eastern NC!

    We stayed 3 nights at the Ivy and enjoyed the privacy, gourmet breakfasts and welcomed way we were treated by Jerry and Ellen. It was just like being home, only better. They are wonderful people, running a first class operation who not only care about their patrons but the surrounding area as well. We left there feeling like we had just visited family.

    We had the pleasure of staying at the Ivy Bed and Breakfast the weekend that Warrenton had a Harvest Festival. The people of Warrenton were warm and welcoming. The Ivy met our expectations-we loved the authenticity of the home.

    We were returning home after driving 10 hours and checked the GPS. Wanted a good nights sleep and chose the Ivy over the usual hotels en route. The room was decorated beautifully & it was the best breakfast ever!

    Our professional & friendly hosts added to our enjoyable Warrenton experience by doing several well appreciated things : - prepared for us a real hearty, southern breakfast explaining about the food & cooking as it was served up. - checked with us that we had all the information we required to fulfill our holiday needs, making an interesting dialogue. - finally set us on our way feeling very happy with life.
