It was clean, comfortable, and cozy. It feels like a home away from home. Staff is very accommodating and friendly. It is clear that a positive guest experience is a top priority. Breakfast is incredibly delicious! AND this Bed and Breakfast is centrally located near a wide array of amenities. These 2 features are the icing on the cake that is Carolina Bed and Breakfast. I would highly recommend this business to anyone needing a place to stay in the area…especially if a convenient location, personal touch, and a homey environment are priorities. In all the best ways, my stay was unlike any other lodging experience I have encountered.

The Carolina is a lovely 118 year old home that is owned and run by a very personable woman. The king size bed was very comfortable and bedroom and attached bathroom quite large. The location is marvelous and within walking distance of several wonderful restaurants.

Beautiful, friendly, cozy

The Carolina is absolutely gorgeous and Colleen is such a lovely hostess. We stayed the night after our wedding and it was so luxurious and cozy - and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. I'm already plotting another little staycation there.

Comfy, Old School BnB Charm

We had a unique, comfortable one night stay. Our room was old school glam, the entryway was lux and pretty. We enjoyed tea at check in, and in the morning enjoyed a fabulous breakfast cooked by the hotel owner and eaten family style with other guests. We enjoyed talking to everyone, it was a highlight of our stay. We would stay here again.

Like Coming Home

Arriving at the Carolina was like coming home. Colleen is one of the most welcoming and kind hosts we've ever had the pleasure of staying with and I felt like I'd known her all my life. She graciously and without hesitation switched our room when we discovered our bathroom was adjacent and not ensuite. We were within blocks of the historic downtown and 2 blocks away from Benny's, a fun little restaurant with amazing service. Many thanks to Colleen and her 2 longer-term guests for making us feel welcomed.

The owner was very friendly and reached out to let us know about the construction going on. She was very pleasant with details. It was a very hot day which she turned on the portable air conditioner when we came. However, it was hot and not enough time to cool the place down. The night was very uncomfortable and the room is in an attic. Beautiful room with enough essentials. . However, it could of used a fresh vacuum, and the trash emptied. A used towel was hanging over the shower bar which questioned me if the room was even cleaned. Overall good room but could of used a fresh cleaning.
