“roomy and clean”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013

We stayed at Spat's, a cabin that permits children, which was wonderful since we wanted to visit with a younger family member. Pat was coridal about helping with my reservation, and I was sorry she was out of town during our stay. Chris, the substitute innkeeper, was friendly and experienced, but the breakfasts both day were just disappointing. It had something to do with the poor quality of the eggs, I think, and perhaps overseasoning or, on our second day, overcooking. Chris tried hard to accomodate, but we have had much nicer choices at other B&B's in the area. Otherwise, the experience was perfect. Quiet and comfortable!

“New Year's Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 2, 2013

We stayed at the property on New Year's Eve 2012. Pat and Tom are excellent hosts, and the accomodations were both charming and immaculate. The accomodations are within walking distance of downtown, and Pat helped us by offering different options for dinner and celebrations. We Greatly enjoyed our stay and will be going back the next time we are in the area.

Room Tip: All of the rooms are nice. We had are choice, but would have been happy with any of them.

“Above & Beyond!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 20, 2012

Time flew by & it was days before my daughter's graduation when we realized we had not made reservations. We were not required to book a 2 day stay which was the first biggie. First impressions were great & Christmas was evident everywhere. The Inn was spotless ( i checked).
Our hostess was helpful in securing reservations (last minute) for my daughter & her friends to meet for dinner & the next day we were greeted cheerfully w/an earlier than scheduled fantastic breakfast.
Hospitality is number one here. This is not to say that the accommodations, etc were less than stellar. The entire experience was fantastic & I would & have strongly recommended a visit to the Camellia Rose Inn.

“Simply too short!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

I had the pleasure of staying at the Camellia Rose for two nights during the Thanksgiving Holiday period. I was traveling with my daughter, granddaughter and grandson. We felt so "at-home" and wishes only to have had a longer stay. Innkeeper Pat is everything you could want, welcoming, kind, gracious and helpful. Also a great cook!! We look forward to returning.
