County Home Bed &
Breakfast Located on N.C. Highway 101, a half-mile north of the
intersection of U.S. Highway 70 East, the County Home B&B is just minutes
from Beaufort's famed historic district. Known as the County Home, it is one
of the town's most interesting buildings and is Beaufort's only bed and
breakfast listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in
1913-14, before the days of Social Security and welfare, it was operated by
Carteret County for 29 years as a house for the area's "poor, aged and
infirm." The building's architectural and cultural interest kept it safe
from demolition until it was bought by Terry and Nan O'Pray for restoration
into a bed and breakfast. Because of the building's simple yet classic
design, don't expect the stereotypical Victorian home most imagine for a bed
and breakfast. Instead, you'll find ten private, individually decorated
efficiency suites complete with comfortable, charming decor. Its location
and backyard pavilion on two acres make it an ideal getaway for weddings,
family reunions or special weekends. Tell your family and friends you're
going to the poorhouse where Southern hospitality is spoken with a Northern
accent. Children are always welcome, and pets are allowed in special
pet-friendly rooms. |

Cousins Bed and Breakfast Cousins Bed and Breakfast in downtown Beaufort, known
for a sumptuous breakfast, is also the only bed and breakfast that allows

offer two air-conditioned rooms with private baths, furnished with an
island motif. Located in the Historic District, Cousins resides in the
Jarvis-Brown House, circa 1820, and is right across from the historic
Carteret County Courthouse. Cousins' tariff covers an incomparable full
breakfast prepared by Elmo, who is a master chef and has published his own
cookbooks. Whether you're a guest or not, make sure you visit their shop,
Martha's Collection of Spices & Gifts, which is full of wonderful items
for yourself or to take home as a gift. (See our
Shopping chapter for more information.) |

The innkeepers and restorers of the Langdon House (circa
1733), Jimm and Lizzet Prest, extend the hospitality of good friends and
provide all the extras that give their guests a personalized experience of
Beaufort. Each of the four guest rooms has a queen-size bed and a private
bath and is furnished with antiques in keeping with the old Colonial/Federal
home. The latest renovation is their "Master Guest Room" with an extra-large
whirlpool bath for two and tandem shower with a Grohe Aquatower as well as
other surprises. Come here to relax; sleeping late is considered a
compliment to the innkeepers. The hallmark of the Prests' hospitality is a
full breakfast, served until 11 AM. A hearty serving of fresh fruit is
followed by one of the house specialties, such as stuffed French toast,
Belgian waffles or Lizzet's Mexican cuisine, if your appetite is
adventuresome. With a word in advance, the Prests are happy to cater to
special diets and preferences. Credit cards and personal checks are
accepted. Bring a change of clothes and a good attitude, and they'll take
