So hospitable! The Aerie is ideally located which was why we chose it. The bonuses were the lovely room, drinks and snacks, and both outdoor and indoor lounging areas. They happily accommodated some special dietary requests and made us feel at home! Highly recommend!!
Beautiful Historic Home near the center of town. We stayed in the Kennebec Suite (very nice). Checkin/out was easy. I wish we had stayed longer and had the chance to enjoy their breakfast.
This particular B&B is exceptional and highly attractive for casual, mature travelers. A stuning classic colonial that offers an outstanding level of thoughtful details. The property, owned and managed by John and Beth Blackwelder, provide comfortable period style accommodations that are safe, quiet and convenient to the lovely coastal town of New Bern. An excellent breakfast with coffee is served with a smile and courtesy often uncommon in todays world. Great value and very enjoyable weekend getaway!
Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us. So happy you enjoyed your stay.
10/10 Excellent

Cute BnB!!! The home is historic and decorated beautifully. Our room was very comfortable. The breakfast was great! I loved being able to walk to the shopping and dining nearby.

Thank you so much for choosing The Aerie for your visit to New Bern. Thank you so much for the great review.
The owners were very nice they make you feel like you were at home! The room was amazing very clean everything you needed. The owners went out of their way to make us feel at home. It was in perfect walking distance to the river as well as numerous places to eat and shop. The outside. Fire pit was amazing. We will definitely be back.
The property is lovely, our bedroom looked like it was out of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, the bathroom had a huge spa tub and the breakfast was delicious! We were warmly greeted by the owner of the property and shown around, and the bed is super comfortable. Would recommend to anyone staying in New Bern.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review!! We are so happy you enjoyed your experience.
Beautiful property with an incredible room. It is called “The Hidden Room” because it is outside the second floor with its own private entrance. It is romantic, luxurious and comfortable. There is a staircase directly to parking or you can access through the Inn. Bed is amazing and all amenities are provided. Beth did a great job showing us the building, which has been wonderfully restored. Several fine dining options are within walking distance. This is a true find and we will include in our future sojourns south to visit our son in St Augustine.

We are so happy you stayed with us and had a good experience. Thank you so much for your descriptive, wonderful review - we truly appreciate it. Hope we see you again!
It is a lovely B&B. There were a few things that could be better. The room was very cold and blew right onto the bed. The bed in the Tuscarora room is short and was a bit of a problem for my husband. Also, the bathroom lighting is inadequate. It was very difficult to see and to feel confident about applying makeup. The space is great, and the decor is stylish. Also, cleanliness is top notch. Great breakfast and a wonderful tour by Beth!

We so appreciate your feedback as we always strive to improve. Thanks for the review.
This was a wonderful property with a great historical feel. I was not familiar with New Bern before and I would love to go back to learn more about its history. I would definitely stay here again. The host took us on a personal tour of the property and explained the amenities and answered questions. The bed was comfortable and the bath was modern. Our room was one of the smaller ones, but it was very comfortable. Breakfast was especially delicious.

Our first time ever staying at a Bed and Breakfast and this one was perfect in every aspect! The house, the staff and the breakfast, all fantastic! We love New Bern and the Aerie just gave us one more reason to love visiting!
Whenever I am in New Bern, I always stay at Aerie Bed and Breakfast. Very nice accommodation, great location, excellent breakfast and the owners, John & Beth are lovely and very friendly, wanting to help. Always a welcoming place to stay. Enjoy!!
