Located in the heart of historic New Bern, North Carolina, this restored property, originally built by Benjamin Ellis in 1853, has operated as a premier B&B since 1985. The Inn has two ground-floor rooms and six second-floor rooms including two luxury King suites. Rooms are equipped with private bathrooms including luxury bath amenities, Internet access, smart televisions, USB charging stations and individual climate control. The unique duplex architecture of the house with four extra wide hallways enhances the private getaway ambiance for a restful guest experience. A full width front porch offers guests a place to enjoy morning coffee or to relax with a glass of wine at the end of the day. A full breakfast is served each morning in our renovated dining room. Breakfast at the Inn combines flavors from across Europe and North America such as: Bircher Muesli from Switzerland, French inspired stuffed crepes with béchamel, or traditional southern favorites like cheese grits soufflé. The Benjamin Ellis House Bed & Breakfast is just four blocks from historic Tryon Palace and one block from the Riverfront Convention Center, and steps away from quaint shopping, art galleries, restaurants and other attractions. Off street parking is available.
