The Pack House Inn is a beautiful B&B that I had really high hopes for. Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to my expectations. When we made our reservations, we were asked what time we would like to check in. We told them 2 P.M. When we arrived, shortly after 2, we were told by the person in the office (who we had to wait on for about 15 minutes) that check-in was at 3 P.M. No, problem, we thought. We'll just go explore Downtown Edenton, which is only a few blocks away, and return in 45 minutes or so.We returned around 3:15, only to find that our room still wasn't ready. After waiting an additional 30 minutes or so (in the sweltering ENC heat, mind you), our room was finally ready. We were staying in the cottage, located adjacent to the main inn, and I must say that I wasn't that impressed with the place. It was not up to par with the rest of the place. It wasn't dirty, just old and decrepit. The cottage definitely needs some attention. The cottage is also the place where breakfast is served, which makes it virtually impossible to get any sleep after breakfast starts. The floors in this building creek very badly, and you could hear the pounding footsteps in your room quite early in the morning.We were in Edenton for a friend's wedding, and after we returned from the reception that evening, we were surprised to find that we had been locked out of the cottage by the other couple occupying the second room. After calling the office, we had to wait another 30-45 minutes before someone showed up to let us in the place. I was not happy, to say the least.Breakfast was done very well at this B&B. Its also worth mentioning that the bed in our room was extremely comfortable. There were some bright spots along the way, but overall, I was not that pleased. I think I would give The Pack House Inn one more try, but only if we were able to book a room in the main inn, and not the cottage. Hopefully, their performance will be a little better the next time around.

The inn was very nice in terms of our room but the innkeepers were not very friendly. This shocked us since they tout they won the innkeeper of the year award. The pancake breakfast was average. While eating breakfast the innkeepers stayed in the kitchen while the waitress served the food. The waitress was friendly.

We stayed here for week and enjoyed our stay very much. The owner and staff were great. The breakfast was always good. This is not a high end resort. If you like sitting on a wide porch to watch the rain, then this will be a place to tryout. The rooms in the Pack House are nicely appointed. The main house has nicer rooms. We found this location great for visiting the surrounding area.
