All reservations done via on-line registration through an offshore provider who is not friendly. Did not see a phone number on the website. Did not feel open, relaxing, or particularly welcome. Felt like we had to stay in bedroom or kitchen. Require guests to haul away their own trash! Room was hot. Sleep Number mattress in a waterbed frame, but firmness control did not work. Bathroom marginally clean. Kitchen use allowed, but BYO food and pots and dishes. ##### Neil Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 6 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very quaint and quiet place.

This beautiful historic landmark is being lovingly restored by a friendly and dedicated couple. Our room was clean, nicely furnished, and included a very comfortable queen bed and private bath. We were served a sumptuous breakfast at 8am each morning except our last, since we had to leave at 5 am. Our hosts left us a del service breakfast instead, and before hitting the road we enjoyed coffee, oatmeal, yoghurt, and cheese. The parlor features many interesting books, a marvelous collection of decor and furnishings, magazines, a chess set, and photographs depicting local history. We had breakfast one sunny morning on the side porch, where they keep the croquet set. Sunbury is one of many quiet little towns with long histories in the region, and while it has few stores, it offers lovely country drives to places of interest from Edenton and Hertford to Murfreesboro, and even Suffolk Virginia. It sits on the edge of the Great Dismal Swamp, with all of its natural and historic tours and activities. The Swamp was a major link in the Underground Railroad. Nearby Scotland Neck boasts an interesting bird sanctuary, with thousands of birds from around the world. The Teacherage itself has a fascinating history, which our hosts were enthusiastic to share. We felt right at home there, got great sleep, great food, and enjoyed the very special ambiance of this bucolic North Carolina bed and breakfast! ##### Jeffrey ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 14 Nov 2017 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Stay at Teacherage Our stay at the Teacherage was pretty much what we expected. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of light for reading in the room. The private bath room was tiny and the sink was in the room rather than in the bathroom. However, it was helpful to have a toilet nearby in the night as we are an older couple. The hostess was very nice seemed eager to help us if we needed any help. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 23 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent stay at The Teacherage The Inn keepers were very friendly and accommodating, the Inn was very clean and well-kept. Room was cozy, clean and pre-warmed. I'll be staying here again! (To qualify, I did not eat the food, but was required to leave a score. I'm sure it's delicious though) ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 20 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### hidden gem I would recommend this to a friend with one caveat. If you are looking for a fancy upscale inn this is not your place. If you are looking for a simple place with soul then you'll feel at home. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Sherrie 11 Jul 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The bed was super comfortable but the room stayed pretty warm the entire time we were there (July). I never could connect to the wifi and cell signal is non existent for AT&T. Be prepared to travel at least 15-20 minutes for food. Perfect location to visit Dismal Swamp and Merchants Millpond State Parks. Everyone was very friendly. ##### Sherrie Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 25 Jun 2017 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Teacherage first time Confusion on breakfast procedure the first day but better the next. Had some ants the first day. Rain the next day took are of that. Didn't see anyone until breakfast the second day. Not much interaction.Advertises view of garden but not sure where that was. Couldn't use the shower next to our room. Had to go downstairs for a shower. Upstairs bath was quite muggy and hot. Sitting or social rooms were not available for use most of the time. I would like to give it another try if it is brought up to what is advertised. ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 7 Apr 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nothing like it looks Bad experience nothing like I thought it would be. ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### Carol 4 Apr 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Mattress deflated The air mattress on one side did not hold the air.

Very peaceful place and wished we could have stayed longer. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent value. Superb service, lovely place. I was late due to a late start and then getting lost. One of the hosts waited for me to arrive!! The service was superb, the price very reasonable, and the stay was excellent. The room was huge, the bathroom immaculately clean, and the bed&breakfast was lovely. I came for business, and plan to have my family stay here on a future vacation! ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Heather 12 Oct 2016 Disappointed no breakfast was offered. ##### Heather ---
