The hosts were wonderful and very attentive to our needs. The guests all mingled and had a good time with great conversations. We got a lot of "steps" in and everything we wanted to do or see was in walking distance. Will definitely return and stay at the Benjamin Ellis B&B.

Good, not great

Period house, but room and house decoration not inspired. Good, but not great breakfast. Somewhat obtrusive owner. We've had better stays, but outside of New Bern. Location is excellent, but there are others on same block. Not convinced there is enough to do for entire weekend there.
