BED & BREAKFAST INNS TIPS

Staying in one of New Bern's historic bed and breakfast inns provides a close-up view of Southern hospitality. For travelers who enjoy a unique experience, the warm welcome of your hosts offers you a home away from home. The comforts and decor of these historic homes make for a relaxing getaway in the context of an interesting historical town. Add to that the option of antiques shopping, mystery weekends or fine dining and pampering, and choosing among the bed and breakfast accommodations in New Bern is an enviable task. When you reserve, ask the innkeepers about anything that may concern you, such as smoking, handicapped accessibility or pets. Also ask about the inn's credit card, reservation and cancellation policies. The inns listed here accept credit cards unless noted otherwise.

Located in the Rudolph Ulrich House (c. 1896) in New Bern's historic district and listed on the state Register of Historic Places, the Hanna House's five guest rooms are tastefully furnished in period antiques. Each has its own private bath, two with Jacuzzis. Guests are offered unique, gourmet breakfasts at their choice of time. The house and grounds are available for small weddings and other special occasions. Special packages are available. Hanna House is conveniently located within walking distance of many New Bern attractions. Hosts Camille and Joe Klotz are dedicated to making your stay a comfortable one.
 

The rocking chairs and swing on the long front porch and the two front doors (you'll see what we mean) distinguish this Greek Revival–style bed and breakfast in the downtown historic district. The original part of the house was built sometime before 1809, and additions and porches have been added. Around 1900, the house was sawed in half, and the west side was moved nine feet to accommodate a new hallway and staircase. The inn now has seven guest rooms and three romantic suites, all furnished with antiques and homemade crafts. Two of the suites have heart-shaped Jacuzzis, and all rooms have private baths and decorative fireplaces. A full breakfast — which may include house specialties such as stuffed French toast with homemade blueberry maple syrup, cheese strata, potato, bacon and cheese casserole, and homemade coffeecake — is served each morning in the dining room. Another Harmony House specialty is the Toffee Bar Coffeecake, which was featured in the December 1999 issue of Bon Appetit. Owners Ed and Sooki Kirkpatrick host a social hour each evening, offering wine and cheese or other hors d'oeuvres. The Harmony House was voted best Best Bed and Breakfast for 2005 and 2006 by the Sun-Journal Readers' Choice Awards.
 

The Harvey Mansion Historic Inn & Restaurant offers three great options in one beautiful setting: a classy restaurant, an elegant bed-and-breakfast and a fun nightclub. The 9,000-square-foot house, built from 1797 to 1804, is the last remaining structure fronting the Trent River from New Bern's time period as a thriving colonial seaport. The inn features three guest rooms with king or queen accommodations available. The inn has several private bathrooms — one includes a Jacuzzi bath and shower combination. All rooms share a common living area with a balcony that overlooks Union Point Park and the Neuse and Trent rivers. Rooms also have telephones and dataports should you wish to stay in touch with the modern world while feeling so comfortably away from it.
 

Howard House, a restored Victorian home in the heart of the downtown historic district, was built between 1888 and 1893 and reflects the detailed craftsmanship of the period. Owners and hosts Steven and Kimberly Wynn offer six lovely guest rooms, each with a private bath. The house's five-sided turret encloses an upstairs guest room that has an antique queen-size bed. Other guest rooms are beautifully furnished in period antiques; one has an antique sleigh bed, another, a queen-size four-poster bed. Guests are pampered with special touches, such as desserts every evening and a social hour. Attention to special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries is easy to arrange; simply ask your hosts. Bicycles are available for seeing the town, and complimentary airport transportation is provided. A full and scrumptious breakfast served each morning may include apple-pecan pancakes, Canadian bacon, homemade breads, muffins and fresh-ground coffee, teas and juice.
 

The home of the Meadows Inn was a private residence until 1980. The ca. 1847 structure is named for its original owner, New Bern merchant John Alexander Meadows. Meadows Inn has seven guest rooms, each with a television, VCR, private bath and antique and reproduction furniture. The third floor, two-bedroom suite is perfect for families traveling together, as children are always welcome at Meadows Inn. Phones are available in each room, and local calls are free. Wireless Internet access also is available at no charge. A full breakfast is served every morning in the breakfast room, including hot entrees, fruits, breads and a choice of coffee or tea. Complimentary soft drinks and tea are always on hand. Romantic getaways, business meetings, destination weddings, family reunions, small group retreats and conferences at the nearby New Bern Riverfront Convention Center are but a few of the ways to stay at Meadows Inn and experience hospitality with history.
 

This Colonial Revival–style bed and breakfast, located about a block from Tryon Palace, dishes up "Sweet Revenge" several times each month with its popular mystery weekend, full of intrigue and wonderful food at one price per couple. But staying here any time can be a real treat. All seven guest rooms are air-conditioned and have private baths. Rooms accommodate two people and are furnished with twin, queen or king beds (one even features a "notorious" brass bed said to have been rescued from a burning brothel in 1897). Guests always have access to the house library. Host Barbara Pappas serves refreshments and beverages and treats her guests to full, home-cooked breakfasts served on her collection of vintage dishes, featuring many distinctive and striking patterns.
