    The most romantic location we've ever been to. So quiet you forget you're only 15 minutes from downtown and all your favorite places and restaurants. The outdoors area was beautiful and perfect to take a nice stroll. The rooms are HUGE and they offer the softest robes to hang around in. The morning breakfast was perfectly balanced and gorgeous. Water and coffee/tea is available either in your room or at the dining area. I wish I had more pictures but you'll be so submersed in the experience you'll even forget you brought a phone! So happy we booked this place!

    We stayed here recently for a romantic couples getaway. We liked how close it was to Eno and it sounded tucked away and peaceful. We've stayed at a few B&B's so this was not our first but was probably the most hotel-like place we've stayed. The room was very spacious, the gas fireplace was lovely and we liked the oversized bath. We went to lay in bed and found the sheets were 100% polyester microfiber (not "luxury Egyptian cotton" as advertised). We are hot sleepers, and I loathe the feel of microfiber so I texted/called to see about getting cotton sheets. They left cotton sheets outside the room so I unmade/remade the bed. My other big issue was with the yuck factor of the duvet. There was an old yellowed duvet with just a flat sheet laid over top of it versus a duvet cover that goes around both sides and is secured at the bottom. I can't imagine it is washed after every guest, and it looked old. I'm not a super germaphobe about bedding but there was no way to keep the old duvet covered with the sheet not attached. I tried to find alternative blankets in the room but they were folded in a drawer and didn't look or smell freshly washed either. I have never asked for new sheets or blankets at a hotel/b&b or airbnb before, I thought my fiancé would think I had lost it but he agreed. The Inn sits right next to a busy street and our room unfortunately faced it. We both woke up several times to traffic noises/horns/motorcycles/etc. I didn't realize we'd be so close to the road. We aren't particularly light sleepers so I'm not sure how traffic noises haven't been mentioned in previous reviews. It was fine, it was clean outside of the bedding issues, they were taking COVID precautions seriously, but I would not book again. For the price, it was not worth it. I wish I had more positive things to say

    During a recent visit to Durham, NC we had the pleasure of staying at the Arrowhead Inn. The Arrowhead Inn sits outside of the hustle and bustle of downtown Durham, which gives you that in the quiet, country vide. However, country certainly does not describe the actual Inn. The Inn is very grand and elegant from the outside to the inside. Each room is meticulously decorated to allow you to step back in time to the days of Southern grandeur, but with all of the modern amenities that we all need, such as free wifi. Each room had a private bathroom, tv, and mini frig. The room we stayed in had a really nice walk in closet, which was a great place to store all of our equipment. The Arrowhead provides breakfast each morning. You can enjoy your breakfast in the dining area or on the lovely back patio. The back patio is also a very nice place to relax with a glass of wine or cup of tea at the end of a busy day. For whatever reason life has brought you to Durham, NC the Arrowhead Inn is a great place to stay.

    While on a little weekend road trip with my mother, I was lucky to google upon this Band B and we decided to stay. We had a suite upstairs, with a nice living room with a fireplace, couch, writing desk and radio. The high ceilings and 4 poster bed made it feel even more spacious. Everything was VERY clean. There were antiques, but all were in good shape. The breakfast in the morning was quite good and they can accommodate special issues such as gluten-free or other allergies. The downside was that this B and B is ON THE HIGHWAY. Loud truck/car noises were made all night long. Bummer. Bring your ear-plugs.

    We had a lovely stay at this bed and breakfast. It was a perfect halfway point between Northern Virginia and Myrtle Beach. I was impressed with the instant engagement of the innkeepers even though I had booked our stay only 2 days before our arrival. I was excited to have the option of dinner at the Inn and we're very glad we did. The entrees were very well composed and delicious. We stayed in the Montclair Room. It had wonderful historical accents and antiques. I felt transported in time. Breakfast was so tasty! I loved the option of having a gourmet made to order meal from 8-9am or sleeping in and still being able to get continental breakfast until 10:30am. Every detail was thought about and that really made us feel at home. We will do our best to come back and visit!!

    This place was gorgeous! We adored our time and hated to leave. We definitely plan to return! The owners did a great job of making my breakfast to accommodate my food sensitivities... this was a huge plus for me! :)

    I can't say enough about how perfect our staycation here was. The owners Phil & Gloria went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect, romantic, relaxing, and seamless. They allowed us to arrive early and had setup our couples massage to be had 30 minutes after our arrival. The romantic cottage was more than we anticipated. The fireplace next to the tub was surrounded with candles and the steam shower was a nice added touch. Phil is an amazing chef and made sure that our food restrictions were considered for all of our meals. The service and food were fabulous and the fire pit out back was a perfect place to cuddle up and finish our bottle of wine from dinner. If you're looking for a nearby upscale B&B for a romantic staycation then you must book a room at the Arrowhead. We'll be back once every season. Thank you for your extraordinary hospitality Phil & Gloria!!!

    My husband surprised me with a one-night getaway (stayaway?) in the Garden Cottage for our anniversary. We live in downtown Durham, so it was just a quick drive north before we arrived at the lovely landscaped property (flowers! figs!). ACCOMMODATION Private, as it's detached from the house, and charming. Has a fireplace and big, fluffy robes, a large whirlpool tub to fit two, and a shower with steam setting and dual heads. The sheets were so soft and cozy, I totally scoped the label and promptly ordered myself a set when we got home (psst, Charisma 400 thread count). Since we weren't staying in the main house, we didn't see much of it, although we did enjoy some time in the dining room which doubles as a common area during the day. Light snacks were set out mid-afternoon (scones, mixed nuts) and we grazed while battling it out with Bananagrams. FOOD The absolute highlight was the Inn dinner we booked for the evening of our stay. This was a four-course locally sourced meal whipped up by owner - and talented chef - Phil. We were seated in a cozy corner with candlelight and a personally printed menu congratulating us on our anniversary. Ours started with fried green tomatoes, then a salad. For my main, I enjoyed crab cakes, asparagus, and creamy risotto. Finished off with a rustic apple galette (but had a hard time choosing among two other decadent-sounding desserts!). Oh, and the focaccia - I couldn't get enough! The pace of the meal was perfect, and the owners have a solid wine list to accompany the food. Breakfast the next morning didn't disappoint either. The restaurant at Arrowhead Inn is undoubtedly a true "hidden gem" in Durham's burgeoning food scene. HOSTS This pair is a delight to talk to! Gloria and Phil are both accommodating and approachable. We really enjoyed swapping stories about our favorite "foodie" spots in Durham, Italy's treasures, and hearing about their adventures as B&B owners. LOCATION For out-of-towners, this may not be an obvious choice because it's not in the heart of downtown or in a "walkable" urban area. But others may favor it for that same reason: tucked a little away from the city, but still a very quick drive into town and all its attractions. EXTRAS The only part of our stay that wasn't perfect was the in-room massage. We'd arranged to have this take place shortly after our arrival. While the two masseuses were very nice and friendly, we weren't able to fully relax during our massage for a number of reasons... after moving furniture around in our room in order to set up their tables, one masseuse was overheated and out of breath (so, he was sweaty and breathing heavily). About halfway into the massage he asked if he could turn the AC on; I obliged I felt so badly for him. But it did leave me a little chilly! Meanwhile, my husband's masseuse forgot to bring the head cradle for her table, so when he was facedown, he had to twist his head to the side. They packed up and left, but forgot to move the furniture back in place, so after our massage hubby and I carried the little table and settee back where they belong (which was not a big deal for us to manage; but just felt notably not up to par with the excellence the Inn exudes everywhere else). We've already recommended Arrowhead as a staycation to several of our local friends, and hope we'll be returning visitors soon!

    As someone who travels frequently for work and is loyal to Marriott, I always appreciate earning…read moreBonvoy points. I chose this Residence Inn because it was close to my client in Raleigh and, most importantly during a North Carolina summer, it has an outdoor pool. This is an older property, but it's clean, quiet, and laid out more like an apartment community than a traditional hotel. If you're staying for several days or longer, the full kitchenette with a refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, microwave, and separate living area is a huge plus. I also appreciated the spacious work desk, reliable A/C, and comfortable bed after long workdays. The complimentary breakfast was one of the better hotel breakfasts I've had recently. The eggs were surprisingly good, the coffee hit the spot, and there were plenty of options to start the day. The outdoor courtyard and grilling area are beautiful, and the pool is large with plenty of lounge chairs, making it a relaxing place to unwind. A few things kept this from being a five-star stay. The property is showing its age, with worn bathroom tile and dated finishes. Water pressure in the shower was weaker than I'd like, and there wasn't a convenient shelf or soap dish. The layout also means a fair amount of walking from the parking lot to some rooms, with only one elevator serving the building. After one of the area's heavy summer thunderstorms, the entrance near my building flooded badly enough that getting inside without soaking my shoes was difficult. Hopefully that's something management can address. Check-in was friendly, although after a full day of work I would have appreciated a quicker, more efficient arrival. On the other hand, I loved being able to message the front desk through the Marriott app. When I asked about pool towels, they brought a fresh stack out almost immediately. Overall, I enjoyed my stay. It's in a nice, quiet part of Chapel Hill, offers good value, and is a solid option if you need extra space or plan to stay for several nights. While I'd probably choose a newer property next time, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if I needed to be in the area.

    Stayed over the weekend and we were pleased with our stay. We checked in pretty late Friday night…read moreand the front desk was able to accommodate our request of being on the 3rd floor. Breakfast was good and there were plenty of options. Public areas were clean and neat. There is an outdoor pool and a lot of outdoor seating space with grills and a fire pit. Our room was also clean and neat. Would stay here again.
