Detailed Reviews
My stay at the Inn at Teardrops last month was as wonderful as the first time, many years ago. The rooms are cozy, spotless, and tastefully decorated with antiques. Tom, the proprietor, always engages guests in interesting, stimulating conversation over a full, delicious breakfast. This is the place to stay if you are visiting Hillsborough!

My daughter and I stayed here for nine days while our house was being renovated. Tom the owner was very hospitable. He had breakfast with us and gave us a lot of information of the history of Hillsborough.The innkeeper, Jorge, made delicious breakfasts. We both love staying here. Even though we live in Hillsborough we are planning on coming back.

In the small but historic town of Hillsborough, there is a very special Bed and Breakfast for those who care for a great place to stay in pre Revolutionary War surroundings. The house dates back to 1767 and is furnished with early 1900's furniture, antiques and paintings. The bedrooms are air conditioned, very comfortable and the bathrooms have been modernized. Downtown is walking distance (one block) and features several superb restaurants. Points of interests range from art galleries and small shops to a recently added chocolate shop. My wife and I have stayed at the Inn numerous times and always enjoyed a great nights sleep, a fine breakfast with Tom and his staff as well as having tried the local restaurants. If you like fine historical homes, antiques, fine food and a great host, you will have to look a long time to find an Inn like this.

I called the Inn at Teardrops to reserve rooms for visiting family, and talked with the manager, who promised to call me back. After a day, I called again and left a message. After another two days and several more unanswered calls, I gave up and booked another place. C'mon, man!

Again, I am reminded how special Teardrops is. We have stayed there many times since 1990. A wonderful spot to enjoy a very cool little town. We adore it and hope to return for many years to come. Amazing hospitality, beautiful, cool, clean rooms and always a yummy breakfast.
Historic antiques and art in every room.
Lots of history to see and things to do from Ayr mount to the Masonic lodge! Antique shopping and yummy, healthy food abound.
We love it! A gem.

The neighborhood, the accommodations and the innkeeper, Tom Roberts were all delightful.
The house retains many of its pre-Revolutionary War appointments, including original fireplaces. Early nineteenth century additions that expand on the original saltbox design flow together nicely.
While surrounded by history, the house boasts modern kitchen, bathroom and laundry facilities.
The welcoming atmosphere, the graciousness and the extra touches make even a business trip a charming getaway.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Inn at Teardrops. The host was a native of the area, very charming and willing to share a wealth of knowledge when we asked. The charming inn was built in 1768 and filled with antiques and artwork. We were in downtown historic Hillsborough, NC and were and easy short walk to restaurants and shops. We can't wait for the next opportunity to return!!

We stayed in the Inn at Teardrops for 4 nights while visiting family to attend our Grandson's High school graduation. Our Granddaughter was thrilled at seeing a squirrel, a rabbit and a variety of birds. Accommodations were very nice and the host was a model of "Southern hospitality". Host's name is Tom and he makes an awesome breakfast. Would stay there again on our next visit to the area.

This is the best B&B in the Triangle.
It is convenient to Chapel Hill, Durham and even Raleigh.
It has excellent amenities (4-poster beds, down comforters, private and spacious bathrooms, Wi-Fi, gardens, quiet environs, excellent breakfast, flexible arrangements etc.) and gracious hosts.
Worth the drive!

Our family recently hosted a family reunion in Hillsborough. The owner, Tom, accommodated our family guests from 7 months to 79 years old, and did so exquisitely. Not only is the Inn itself beautiful with its vast array of antiques, art, and books but Tom is a true Southern gentleman. I was tickled when he would stand when guests would enter the room. He even held an umbrella over my brother's head as my brother ran to his car in a sheer downpour (of course, Tom running too!). Tom is gracious, generous, and absolutely delightful and his Inn shares every single one of these characteristics. Be prepared to leave with a lasting impression of warmth and hospitality unique to this very special place. We cannot thank Tom enough for his tremendous role in making our family reunion simply perfect.
