I had a wonderful stay at the Albemarle Inn. The room was extremely clean and the inn was well kept. I was very impressed. The only drawback was the breakfast. It wasn’t great and some of the food wasn’t very fresh. Overall it is reasonably priced and a beautiful inn.

Continental breakfast was ample and coffee was good. Felt like home to us and we...See More

Stayed the weekend of 05/23-25/2025. Absolutely delightful. This makes you feel you are in one of the PBS Masterpiece series due its splendor. It is an old house and you will hear it, but don’t let that stop you. Will stay again. Charming place.
