The Teacherage

This was our very best sleeping night on our vacation. The room we had was very cozy and warm with comfortable linens. The location is remote so bring dinner. Yes the building is being restored, and yes we had a shared bathroom but that did not detract from our enjoyment. I think Brenda and Graham are just very accommodating and friendly hosts which made our stay so good. We arrived on a cold and rainy night and they gave us hot tea and cookies-- I tell you that was the most welcome thing after arriving on bicycle in the rain. The breakfast was nice and the price was affordable. What matters to us when traveling is a good place to store our bikes, a hot shower, how comfortable we sleep and a good breakfast --so we got all of that.

Lovely old boarding house. Quiet and quaint. Hosts Graham and Brenda are friendly and happy to answer any questions about the surrounding area. Excellent breakfast. It is not fancy, just very comfortable and welcoming.

We stayed at this rural B&B in early October because it was close to Merchants Millpond state park. It's a charming property with friendly and accommodating owners (and a cute cat!) Our room was large and clean with pretty antique furnishings. The (shared) bathroom is down the hall. We enjoyed a delicious home-cooked breakfast on the porch in the morning. FYI, there are no TV's in the rooms but there is complimentary wifi for guests. I would also be aware that Google and Waze won't navigate you precisely to the house since it is quite rural. If you're coming from 158, turn towards the Sunoco station (at the intersection of 158 & 32), then go about half a mile and the house will be on your right set back from the street a bit. The only groceries in town at at Family Dollar but there is a bi

My boyfriend and I needed a place to stay for one night during our trip to the outer banks. Brenda was so accommodating, letting us reserve on the same day and being welcoming even though we got there way past our initial ETA. The room was clean and cozy and I got all the rest I needed. I definitely recommend it to anyone who appreciates a good night of sleep in a quiet, historic place.

We had a little trouble finding the place, but some helpful neighbors pointed us in the right direction. The landscaping leaves a lot to be desired. And there is an abandoned school next door. The owner is super friendly. She gave us the wifi password, but when we tried to use it late at night and it didn't work, we didn't want to wake her. We also didn't feel comfortable waking her in the middle of an August night when we were so hot and couldn't control the room temperature. And I didn't check my email until the morning- that's when I realized that breakfast is not included in the price. We couldn't find the owners to ask.
