    I knew this place would be special. I had planned it out for years how I wanted to ask her but there wasn't anywhere that had the aesthetics I was looking for until I found the Albemarle Inn in Asheville. The theme was Romeo & Juliet so I needed a balcony. Low and behold, one room has a balcony overlooking a beautiful garden. It is known as the Juliet Chamber. Perfect. I called the ladies at the Inn to explain what I had in mind. They were totally on board and helped in so many ways make that day special. I would have my friends come early to scout the location for pictures and they helped with ideas. When we arrived, they led my girlfriend up to the room while I went back out to the car to grab our luggage. In reality, I circled around to the garden and waited for her to appear in the balcony. When she was led into the room, they thoughtfully had "Love Story" by Taylor Swift playing in the background. As she went to the edge of the balcony, and looked down, ..there I was with her new ring. Thankfully, she said yes! This place is truly gorgeous. Everything, including the breakfast in the sunroom the next morning, was perfect and elegant. The staff, Sarah in particular, went over the top for us when they certainly didn't have to. They even sent us a beautiful ornament that we will be sure to cherish forever. We will always remember our engagement at The Ablemarle Inn and it holds a special place in our hearts. I hope it does the same for you if you find yourself lucky enough to stay with them. -Jon

    What a hidden gem! The inn is located just a few minutes from downtown Asheville and literally on the edge of Grove Park Inn. We stayed in the Ribbons and Roses room which was located on first floor with a spacious shower and a very cozy fireplace. Rosemary & Fabrizio were the perfect hosts. Definitely will return for a longer stay!

    We had a wonderful time. Quiet, restful and peaceful. The rooms was so comfortable. Best night's sleep I have had in many months. Excellent food, very kind hosts, and quaint rooms. Savored every moment we had there. Can't wait to go back!!

    If you like Victorian mansions with gorgeous wood work and period furnishings the Albemarle Inn is for you. If you like considerate helpful delightful service the Albemarle Inn is for you. If you want very useful suggestions on the best places to sight see, eat and visit the Albemarle is for you. Rosemary and Fabrizio are host and hostess with the mostest. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

    Breakfast

    We did an elopement here. The inn is huge, charming, and beautiful . Lou Ellen was great and very helpful. She and Rosemary made our stay very welcoming and special. The bed and pillows were so comfy in the Royal Hideaway room and the jacuzzi tub was really nice. Everything was exceptionally clean and the breakfasts were to die for . Rosemary is an excellent cook. She made strawberry stuffed French toast and it was the best thing I've ever had. We hope to come back and stay for many anniversaries to come!

    We enjoyed our stay. Quiet and accommodating. Clean and up to date. Beds were luxurious and bathrooms were also up to date. B&B continental breakfasts by nature are always limited and cannot realistically meet the needs of the growing list of dietary restrictions and so this cannot be used as a complaint. There are plenty of restaurants in Asheville and plenty of refrigerator space is available for guests. We would definitely stay here again and recommend this to friends and family.

    I really wanted to give this Inn a lower star score but in my heart I just couldn't. My mom,…read moresister, and I stayed in the attic suite called the Sarah Davidson Suite. This suite had 1 bathroom, 1 bedroom with a king bed and sitting room, another bedroom with 2 twin beds. My mom and I slept on the king bed. The mattress was hard and uncomfortable but I did sleep good! This suite has lots of stairs to get to it so that was a challenge with luggage but we made it. The furnishings are old, in style with the house, but comfortable. There were fans in the rooms which was nice. We arrived late at night and got the last private parking spot, which is also a walk to the house but doable. Breakfast is served 8:30a-9:30s and we went down about 9a. There were no seats available, the hostess came and apologized and told us the breakfast menu for the day. Bacon was on it and I LOVE some bacon. Finally got seated, breakfast arrived, no bacon, they were out of bacon! Dissatisfaction! After breakfast talked with inn hostess and told her we didn't need our room cleaned but could use some clean towels and trash taken out. She said ok, she would do it and then hang a rope across the steps to let the housekeeper know we didn't need service. Then we left for the day. Got back late, clean towels, trash not emptied. Next day, left the rope down, left for the day, got back late, no clean towels, trash still not emptied. Oh, and we went down to breakfast by 8:30 to make sure we got seats and food! I'm There is a small fridge in the dining area with ice in baggies and you can store something small but that's it. They do have coffee/tea and small snacks t/o the day and night. This place is clean but not exceptionally clean, the outside grounds were nice but not exceptionally nice. Which I feel is the theme for this place, everything is nice and comfortable but not exceptional. Back to the breakfast, they make your breakfast and serve you, there are no options, you get what they are serving. The food was good. Would I stay here again? Not sure but glad I did stay here at least once.,

But everything else was a solid 3. Nothing wrong with it at all... But, I was underwhelmed based on my previous experiences. When we checked in, the host was fine. The room was fine. The bathroom did leave some things to be desired. There was not a good place to put your toiletries. We also had to climb into a very deep bathtub to get to the shower... If you are clumsy, like me, you may walk away with a couple of bruises. The house itself was very pretty, and was decorated in a manner appropriate for the property. I would've liked to seen some warm blanket to sit out on the patio with, board games, or puzzles to pass the time. There was only one sofa, and it was not in a cozy little nook where you would want to hang out. The food was fine. The menu is heavy on carbs and sweet breakfast treats. They were executed well enough. But there was not any particular breakfast that knocked my socks off. Again it was fine. The location was very convenient to downtown Asheville. It would be a two minute drive or a 10 minute walk to downtown Asheville. This bed-and-breakfast did not appear to be owned and operated by the hosts, rather an absentee corporation or business. I think that made the difference. Everything was fine, but it didn't have that touch of home that you expect when you stay at a bed and breakfast. For example, when we wanted to use the television, and needed some assistance, when we called the number that was left, the call was blocked. On a whim , we texted Fortunately, they responded right away. But ultimately, after 6 PM you are on your own in terms of staffing. Overall, I can recommend Beaufort House, but I think next time I will try something different.

The Inn is perfectly located, just a short walk and even shorter drive/uber to downtown. The room we stayed in was adorable and super comfy. We loved the furnishings, soft sheets and towels on the bed, etc. But, the in-room gas fireplace was by far my favorite amenity -- I found myself not even wanting to venture out but rather sit in the room warming my feet by the fire. (Don't worry though, we went out!) Throughout our stay, it was fun to discover all the hidden treats in the common areas. There were homemade cookies and chocolate in every nook and cranny of the place! Breakfast was amazing and prepared fresh each morning. Lots of helpful info way of pamphlets and brochures are all over the Inn but if you need any advice, I'd encourage you to just chat with Emilie. She had lots of great suggestions on where to go and what to do and seemed to genuinely love the area. We're looking forward to our next visit!

While the Inn will not guarantee your first choice of room when you make your reservation, we were able to choose from three rooms upon arrival, which included our top two choices. I would guess most B&Bers don't prefer rustic decor, which is why our first choice, the Appalachian Trail Room, was still available. (The others are more luxe, such as the Parisian room or the Moroccan themed room). We loved our room, which is set off from the main house and looks like a log cabin. Tom is a gregarious innkeeper and makes lovely and thoughtful breakfasts. Breakfast is taken in common areas of the inn, such as the solarium or the library, on trays. We took ours into the solarium, where we had a nice view of the beautiful Japanese garden landscaping. I think people are put off by the complicated pricing structure (for instance, it is possible to book w/o spa treatments but it's hard to tell from the website) or the mystery surrounding the reservations process. It is true that some rooms do not have their showers (all have whirlpool tubs in-room) and that the shower for those rooms is located in a common area. However, I believe three of the rooms have a shower in-room as well; ours did.

If you plan on checking-in after 6pm, they leave you detailed instructions on how to get access to your room key and find your room. We did not interact with any staff our entire stay until we were leaving and someone asked us where we left our key.

While waiting on the porch, we noticed several items left out--loose baseboard trim, a broom, a bag of cement, and a detached flexible downspout in the walkway--which immediately gave the impression that the property wasn't being actively maintained. The outdoor areas continued that theme. The side yard and fire pit area looked like they hadn't been used or maintained in some time, with weeds growing through the pebble ground, empty or dead plant pots, and older or broken furniture visible around the property.
