Terry House Bed & Breakfast

Located in a lovely historic building in the heart of the historic district so that you can wander around the town and take in the sights or walk a few doors down and have a good meal (ask for your 10% discount if you dine at Jessup’s Tavern). The staff is very nice and the hot breakfast was great. There are hundreds of interesting collectables scattered about the house so if that is your thing, you will have come to the right place. Communication in terms of making our reservation was a bit difficult and when we arrived there was no one around to meet us. We called the number provided and got no answer so we wandered around the town a bit and the owner had returned by the time we came back.
As long as you can put up with a little quirkiness, then you might be happy here. We stayed in room #2 which has an in room bath but room #1 requires that you step into the hallway to get to your bathroom. Our room also had a TV with cable and a small refrigerator but no clock, so bring one of those if you require one. The bed in room #2 was firm (just the way I like it). For $ 100, it’s a good deal; just be prepared to see a few things that need a little sprucing up. If you pack light, no problem but if you are coming with a lot of luggage, be prepared to lug your bags up a pretty long set of stairs (or two sets if you are staying on the third floor).
They do have wifi even though everything else is very low tech. Ask for the password when you arrive. There is self-​serve coffee located on the second floor but it is is bit hidden away so look for it at the top of the stairs around the corner to your right. It’s one of those k-​cup machines. And if you are dismayed by the lack of shampoo in the bathroom, you will find a basket in the hall with large bottles of shampoo you can borrow.

Comfortable rooms and great breakfasts. First day was fresh fruit cup with a waffle topped with cream and strawberries and 2 sausage links. Second day 2 scrambled eggs and bacon and biscuit. Plus home made pumpkin mini muffins and cinnamon bread. Yummy!
We were on the third floor in Rm 5 which was the wedding room with a full bath. Room had a small fridge and a TV although we never turned it on. Bring your own hair dryer or you can run a floor down and grab the communal hair dryer and rerun it to the basket. Rates were affordable. Definitely an option over a sterile hotel!
