Culpepper Inn

Had an excellent stay here, enjoyed the pool, my bed was comfortable, the accommodations were perfect. Hosts are terrific! Highly recommend!

Very nice bed and breakfast. Great location on Main Street in downtown Elizabeth City. It is in easy walking distance to shops, waterfront parks, restaurants and bars. There are no hotels in the historic downtown area of Elizabeth City which is why we choice the B&B route (didn't want to drive).We did not stay in the main house but in the adjacent building. It turned out good for us. The building is nice, more private and the rooms have a private bathroom. You get access to the main house as well as the tavern.The tavern is very cool. Nice bar, seating area and a TV. You have to bring your own booze since they don't have a liquor license. Plenty of parking at the house for guest, all complimentary. You also get access to the pool in the back but it was not open when we were there (winter).The owners Mike and Holly were great and provided excellent information and recommendations on Elizabeth City.

This was the first time I stayed at a Bed & Breakfast. Mike & Holly are so nice. Like family. We had the biggest room, and I was very comfortable. the pool was open, the garden was nice and the breakfast coffee, and eggs were good.

Great quaint personable place to stay... we have stayed in several airbnb's over the summer as we looked for a new home in this area.... this is the best of them all! We keep returning!

I really wanted to like this place because the old couple are maintaining "history" by keeping up this house while of course profiting extremely in the process. I left a good review on Airbnb due to this fact alone. Here is the actual review: The bathtub was from the 80's, olive drab green, dark, and crusty as if 409 was just sprayed on and left. Soaps and other toiletries are seriously lacking. Most doors don't lock or close easy if even at all. I paid through Airbnb which had the tag on it as "near the beach". This is 100% false. Over an hour to a decent beach with tolls and more if you decide to go on a busy weekend. Through Airbnb I reserved the only room that appeared available and it wasn't in the main inn. Could care less. Well they seem to have over booked or double booked my room because they "upgraded" us to the main inn yet denied us breakfast with all the other main inn guests leaving us to feel like we were kind of in the way. I even asked if I could pay for breakfast so my lady could eat before the long drive to the beach and was told "no that's legal". Not even kidding. The free breakfast is all costco bulk items or the cook is just terrible. Everything was dry and cold. The yogurt in the fridge is literally a spoon full. You get one spoon of yoplait. The fruit cup is dried and looks as though it was on the last few days of its lifespan. 2/3 coffee pots work and both the working ones were empty by 8:15. We were very careful in the room as it reminded us both of our grandmas and you know what grandma does if you mess up her stuff. Yet she left a review on my Airbnb complaining because 1. We didn't utilize coasters....trust me, the 2 available were used even though they were warm beach beers since the mention room fridge isn't actually in existence. Then I got a complaint because i left 3 unopened Coronas for the husband of the old couple running the place. Thought he would enjoy free beer and I didn't want to drive with it. Well I got literally shamed for thinking that way. She also claimed we ripped her 20 year old, Walmart branded mattress protector that was under the sheets that weren't damaged at all. Seriously, just spend $10 every 20 years and get a fresh one. I think that is long enough but there is more.....oh if you want to sit in the bench outside you need to weigh less that 115lbs because it sinks into the ground and slams your head on the dirt if you try to use it. My lady was not happy about that either. P.S. they are not electric car friendly AT ALL. I asked to use a normal outlet overnight to charge my electric only Tesla so I wouldn't get stranded (no super chargers in Elizabeth city) and was talked down to and critiqued for asking. Average cost of charging a Tesla model 3 for one night.....1.33 cents if charged to full. I do 80% so less that a dollar. She "Holly" wasn't having it at all.

When I booked this I felt like I was taking a bit of a gamble since it was for my wedding night but it was a hit with both me and the wife! The innkeepers were welcoming and even had a little sign congratulating us on the door to our room. We stayed in the carriage house. The seclusion was perfect for our wedding night and the furnishing were cozy and comfortable. The shower was especially nice!The breakfast was quite good, it was sausage, French toast, a cinnamon infused pear, some OJ and some orange crumb cake.All in all it was a great experience and I definitely anticipate coming back here in a year or two. Watch out for the cat- it likes to follow you up the stairs and made for quite an adventure in our case!

Be careful if you make a reservation in advance! We booked a reservation a month ahead, then Hurricane Matthew hit. Under no circumstance could I cancel with a refund. In fact - my card was charged when we originally booked. The owner said we should have purchased the protection insurance, she offered us an extension to stay but would not allow anyone else to stay in our place. We ended up eating the $170 reservation, with absolutely no mercy from the owner given that a hurricane had hit the area!

The home is beautiful and the staff is very professional. I highly recommend this bed and breakfast. There's a reason it's been voted the best in the Albemarle area.

The Culpepper Inn is super cute and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Poolside Room. Upon arrival, the self check-in was so easy and we were greeted by a personalized welcome package just inside the community Tavern Room. The Poolside Room is beautifully decorated and the attention to cleanliness and detail was evident. Shortly after we got settled, we had the opportunity to meet Mike, who was so friendly (and Bruno!). At our hosts' recommendation, we enjoyed a quick, scenic walk to the waterfront for dinner. After settling back in at the Inn, my husband and I had a great time enjoying the hospitality and fellowship with both Mike and Holly by their beautiful pool. Check-out was just as easy after enjoying the breakfast goodies provided for us in the Tavern Room. Having made some new friends, I have no doubt that we'll be back to visit The Culpepper in the future.Thank you so much!

What a hidden gem. Beautiful property with a swimming pool. Very clean and enjoyable place to relax. The owners Holly and Michael could not have been more friendly. We highly recommended this beautiful get a way!!!! We will be back and bring friends and family. Thank you Michael and Holly!!!!
