I booked this entire property for a family gathering. I booked in February, and they called today to let me know that they were closing and not honoring my event reservation. I've already sent out invitations to 40 people about this event. I will now have to send out new invitations. The expense of the invites, plus postage, not to... More

This was our first experience with a B & B as it was for the other couple that went with us. We could not have asked for better service from the comfortable room(Turret room) to the incredible breakfast both mornings. Peter & Brenda are wonderful hosts. Would love to go back sometime. The Cains

We parked our car and were able to walk to everything. Tryon Palace and great restaurants are within a few blocks. Cozy, comfortable and relaxing. I highly recommend staying at the Howard... More

I stayed here for a week on business because the location, amenities and price were exactly what I needed to be very productive. I booked the Carriage House Guest Suite which was spacious, quiet and comfortable. When I arrived I was pleasantly surprised that the reviews I had read and the pictures I saw were an understatement. Breakfast was equally... More
