- Austin (10/5): - This B&B provided what was probably the best B&B experience we have ever had. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated, as were the public rooms. and our bed was very comfortable. Adequate parking was available in the rear of the property. The breakfast food was amazing. Innkeepers Tracy and Gretchen Du Peza could not have been nicer, especially when we missed the usual check in time by several hours. The rate was more than reasonable. We will certainly stay at the Benjamin Ellis House again the next time we are in New Bern.

- John (8/5): - Nicely kept historic home in a great location convenient to the water front. Bed was reasonably comfortable and with nice linen.

- Anthony Alexander (10/5): - Great sleep!
- Gregory (10/5): This is a must stay location - So glad we picked this property. The owners were fantastic, the historic building was lovely, the location perfect. Breakfast on fine china sitting around a table with the other guests was not only delicious, but friendly.
- Evan Shaffer (10/5): - The property is a gorgeous home with over 3000 sq feet in immaculate condition. The rooms were spacious and in superb taste. Our guest room was quiet, superbly decorated and quite comfortable. Breakfast both days was delicious; we enjoyed chatting with other guests at Elllis House. Our hosts were gracious, helpful and quite friendly.
- Ray (6/5): Conference Stay - The breakfast schedule being only after 8:30 was disappointing. I stay at b&b's largely for that convenience, but the late meal created problems with my schedule each day. I did get a paper bag "to go" breakfast one day, but it fell short of a hot meal to start the day. I could have gotten at least a continental breakfast at a hotel.
- Jerry (10/5): - First bed and breakfast experience so I don’t have anything to compare with. I was pleased with the owners attention to making us geel welcome.
- Harold (10/5): Short but wonderful stay - Gretchen and Tracy are wonderful innkeepers. It was a pleasure staying with them.
- Frank (10/5): - Staff was very accommodating. Bed was very comfortable.
- Joel (10/5): - Beautiful accommodations, impeccably maintained. Delightful hosts and fellow travelers. Highly recommended.
- Charles (8/5): - Coffee was not conveniently available. Not a real problem. Hosts are pleasant.
- Benjamin (10/5): - Everything about our stay was fantastic! So much to do in the downtown New Bern area and this is in the perfect location.
- Akin (10/5): - Lovely breakfasts, right in downtown, and beautiful historic house.
- Thomas (10/5): Right at Home - The innkeepers made us feel right at home. They shared the history of the house; oriented us to the town; and provided special breakfasts because of one of our dietary needs. The house itself is centrally located within walking distance of everything we had planned to visit. The town was, in our mind, a miniature Charleston!
- Susan (10/5): Felt like home ! - Russell was great! Extra clean room! Felt like home! Fresh breakfast made daily! 👍
