1st B & B Experience

Our 1st experience for B&B. Absolutely fabulous. Loved the Oriental atmosphere - very serene. The town is so much fun - great places to eat. The breakfasts tasty & especially the fresh fruit all presented beautifully.

Rob and Geri T

We just spent 2 nights in the Music Room and thoroughly enjoyed our visit to New Bern and our stay at the Meadows Inn Bed and Breakfast. Our hosts, John and Betty, were very helpful and friendly and made us feel right at home. We also really enjoyed the delicious breakfast each morning and the location of the inn which is within easy walking distance of the many sites and restaurants in the historic section of New Bern. We both definitely will recommend this Bed and Breakfast to our family and friends and plan to return again soon.

Betty & John, Thank you for making our celebration of Cindy's birthday so memorable! Although not our first trip to New Bern, your gracious hospitality will surely bring us back. Our highlight was probably the sunset sail we took. The central location of this B&B, the ability to walk in all directions is unique. Thanks again for a fabulous weekend!

Everything was Wonderful!

This was our first time at a bed & breakfast. We've heard how nice it was to stay at a B&B but I'm sure this surpasses them all! Betty & John were wonderful and went above & beyond, especially helping plan for flowers and surprise dinner at Harvey Mansion, with our four children coordinating over the internet and phones. Everything was wonderful! Waking up to the smell of fresh baked bread & scones was a great start to the day. We really enjoyed everything. Thank you so much for a great visit.

Lil & I have been to many B&B's in this state, but there is no comparison. This is by far the best. That is why we wanted to spend our 25th anniversary with you both. Thank you for your graciousness, the wonderful room & our exquisite breakfasts. This was the sixth time we have been in "Monet's Garden" but it always seems like it is the first time. Thank you so much Betty & John. PS We're glad that New Bern remains that "unknown gem". We can "bearly" contain ourselves when we come.

The wife and I needed a break, but also someplace romantic to celebrate our anniversary. We couldn't have chosen a better place. The accommodations are perfect, wonderful hospitality, and all the details were in place. New Bern offers "so much history". We walked and talked and realized why we got married in the first place. Thank you for providing such a wonderful place for us to slow down and enjoy each others' company. Hope to see you again soon.

Memorable day & night

We came to New Bern for the 227th Marine Ball. We walked through the Cedar Grove Cemetery and toured the Tryon Palace, where the love of my life asked me to marry him by the fountain in the beautiful Maude Moore Latham memorial garden. Our lives forever changed in this beautiful historic place. We spent our first night as an engaged couple in the beautiful Irish Room. A perfect night for a perfect day.

Old South Charm!

This B&B is a block from the waterfront and the entire historic district is in walking distance. We didn’t move our truck at all during our first stay...the Mum festival in October 2017. We returned for our 2nd visit July 4th 2019. John and Betty, the owners of the Inn are wonderful. The homemade breakfasts add an elegance to the already charming antebellum atmosphere. Today it was breakfast burritos covered with cheese sauce and homemade salsa, homemade peach/apricot bread and fresh fruit cup—fresh watermelon, cantaloupe, nectarines, honeydew, etc. The coffee is made from fresh ground Colombian beans and is so fresh and delicious. Complimentary sodas, water and ice are always available and A Keurig is available when the fresh morning coffee time ends. Our sheets were incredibly soft and the mattress was perfect. There was a plush robe available after my shower. We became friends with two other couples— one from FL and one from N.C. There is a sitting room for coffee where we chatted prior to breakfast. An individual air conditioner was in our room so we could stay as comfortably cool as we wanted. This is a perfect spot full of old southern charm but has comfortable modern amenities at the same time!!!
