Felt like a secluded property but walkable to downtown Ashville
Pros:

The home is beautiful and well preserverd. The grounds are spacious and landscaped nicely. The front porch was a perfect spot for morning coffee or happy hour cocktail. Our room was quaint and comfortable. Sara who runs the inn is a real gem. Pleasant, energetic and a wealth of information.

Cons:

We loved everything about our stay. The breakfast served is only continental but that is stated upfront.

One night is not enough!
Pros:

The house itself is beautifully cared for! The bedrooms were beautiful with very comfortable beds and very clean. Our bathroom was modern and traditional at the same time. Perfect for an older home where you want the history and the comfort. Our host was wonderfully friendly and welcoming and the breakfast was fresh and delicious!

Not the best of stays as were not in the Historic Beaufort Inn.
Pros:

The house is beautiful. Very victorian and it great condition.

Cons:

I picked this house because I wanted to stay in a historic bed and breakfast. We (my friends had a separate room) were put in the "Annex". Not the main house. So beware when you book on booking.com. To say the least, I was incredibly ticked off. So we were in some "cottages' (rooms) behind the main house. We couldn't maintain the temperature in the rooms. Temp control was up to the property manager. Our rooms were 71. I froze. I keep the back door open a lot.

Goede prijs kwaliteit
Pros:

Het personeel is super aardig en het pand is een prachtig historisch gebouw met zo'n typisch amerikaanse veranda waar je sochtends je koffie kan drinken. Het is zo'n 20 minuten lopen naar het centrum en op rij afstand van arts district en waterfall hike.

Cons:

Moeilijk om niet heel veel geld uit te geven. Bijv biltmore estate is al 85 dollar entree en hop om hop off ook al weer 45 euro. Zoals overal in de VS vind ik de afstanden groot. Zoals overal in de VS geen gezond ontbijt (zoete yoghurt, zoete cruesli, witbrood).
