I enjoyed my time at Shellie and Tony's home/B&B, and I recommend it. I know that (like some owners/managers) , they read reviews and comment, and I think that people can be intimidated by that. But for people reading this--I'm keeping it real. My into to Rocky Mount itself wasn't fantastic--when trying to find the B&B--I saw a young woman... More

This is an interesting inn, with the same intimate style service and accommodations we have found in European cities; basic but very comfortable. If you are looking for over the top luxury, go elsewhere, but if you appreciate decent, clean and honest folks trying to provide you with a comfortable accommodation, this is perfect. The family is unobtrusive yet very... More

I do not know why it took me so long to write this review. My wife and I spent our 21st anniversary there. Shellie and her family were extremely accomodating and super nice. We asked for vegetarian breakfasts that were prepared for us perfectly. When I asked for decaf coffee she made a pot just for me! The house is... More

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Claiborne House and greatly appreciated being accommodated on short notice. Shellie was very helpful in providing advice on where to go and what to see locally. The inn and surrounding grounds are superbly maintained. Particularly noteworthy was the cleanliness of our room and the public areas. Breakfast was great, particularly... More

What a wonderful experience we had at the Claiborne House! Shellie gave us a warm welcome which included cookies, brownies and fruit upon our arrival. Additionally she provided us with great tips on nearby sites of interest. Every nook and cranny was decorated with beautiful antiques; our room was delightful, including an electric fireplace. The breakfasts were delicious and filling,... More

My wife and I visited for our anniversary and could not have asked for a better experience. We spent two nights in the Wash House aka " The Love Shack " and it was everything we wanted. The room was immaculate and had everything we needed. The breakfasts each morning were excellent and enough for two people. Although we went... More

My husband had arranged a surprise weekend for me and this is the place he picked for us to stay. Great job with the planning!!!! Claiborne House is tucked away in a tiny town with lovely views. The weather was perfect for morning porch sitting where I could ogle the scenery while sipping coffee before breakfast -- always scrumptious and... More

From Shellie and Tony Leete's warm welcome, to our cozy, quiet , well equipped room, to the good coffee, the amazing breakfasts, and the chance to meet other very happy guests, we have to say staying at Claiborne House was the highlight of our two week holiday. We were provided with accurate local information (historic, botanic, scholastic, musical, social) that... More

We came here for our one-year anniversary and the experience couldn't have been better. The entire place was beautifully kept and tastefully decorated. We stayed two nights and both breakfasts were wonderful, right down to the heart-shaped tomato specifically picked out for our breakfast plates. (That makes a great innkeeper, not a strange one! :) The girls who attended to... More
