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.

This B&B provided what was probably the best B&B experience we have ever had. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated, as were the public rooms. and our bed was very comfortable. Adequate parking was available in the rear of the property. The breakfast food was amazing. Innkeepers Tracy and Gretchen Du Peza could not have been nicer, especially when we missed the usual check in time by several hours. The rate was more than reasonable. We will certainly stay at the Benjamin Ellis House again the next time we are in New Bern.

We had a lovely, spacious room with lots of light, beautiful furniture, of course. There are very special blinds, which can be adjusted to prevent outside light from entering the room at night. Delighted to find a little espresso machine for the guests to use. The inn-keepers were helpful and accommodating, and very interesting. Breakfasts were delightful, in terms of food, but also in conversation.
