The host and service and cleanliness, the beauty, the fantastic antiques, the delicious included breakfast, the historical significance, and ambiance of this unique bed and breakfast could not be better. Why stay in a motel with no character and cold atmosphere when you can have the Franklin Terrance bed and breakfast!

Great stay here! My girlfriend and I were here on her birthday weekend. We loved the room in which we stayed as well as the breakfast in the morning. It was fresh, filling and the hosts were very kind and accommodating!

It was old house and I understand that they need constant maintenance. The owner of the house was out of town and left only one employee to run the place, which she did graciously. Given that is was a holiday weekend, and it appeared to be a full house, the owner should have picked another weekend to be out of town.

The management was in desperate need of additional staff. It is a lovely, very old bldg but needed some serious cleaning and mtc. Breakfast very well prepared. Very enjoyable recounting of the history. Allergies to dust, cant go back.

Franklin Terrace: Step back into History

Historic, over 100 years old, and former high school, this is an interesting stay that takes you back to that prior generations' feeling. The positives were a comfortable bed, clean, good breakfast, and the sole negative was it was cold on the interior (cold outside) with no available blanket and no ability to increase heat in the room.

This was my first time staying at a bed and breakfast, and it was a wonderful experience! The owner was friendly and took the time to answer all of our questions. The breakfast was amazing, and the location is perfect—within walking distance of shops and dining options. The house is beautiful and full of history, but when booking, keep in mind its age the age of the house. Overall, a great stay, and I highly recommend it!

Easy walk to downtown Franklin. Beautiful area. Staff was very friendly. I recommend you bring your own pillow unless you like them thin. Bed was a little swayed as well. Complimentary beverage center was great! Breakfast was simple but very good! Scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, grits, homemade biscuits w/homemade strawberry preserve, homemade lemon cake and fruit salad. With that said there were only 2 couples staying so kind of hard to make gourmet food. Definitely would recommend this B&B!

We stayed in the room with the king-size bed. It was worth the extra money. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. If you must have an updated and spacious bathroom, you will have to go somewhere else. Our bathroom was spacious for the time when it was built. The sink represents that period. The house is on a hill, a short distance uphill from Main Street. The view of the mountains is lovely from the front yard. You will find very good restaurants located on the streets just down the hill from the house. We ate dinner at Caffee REL two days in a row and enjoyed bagels at Brooklyn Bagel. Breakfast consisted of good orange juice, fresh fruit, and coffee. My husband requested scrambled eggs, which arrived with crisp fried potatoes and a pan of freshly baked biscuits. I requested granola and yogurt. My husband enjoyed his breakfast, and so did I. We enjoyed looking at the period details in the house. Our host was very gracious. He told us about the history of the house.
