The Jarvis at 220

We had the pleasure of staying just one night at The Jarvis at 220, and we’re already dreaming of returning for a longer visit. This beautifully renovated historic home in the heart of New Bern is full of character and charm, with elegant decor and all the modern comforts you could ask for. Our bed was incredibly comfortable, and our room had a sweet little porch out front where we enjoyed morning coffee. The bathroom was a standout—huge, luxurious, and spa-like, a true treat after a day of exploring. Ian, the manager and breakfast chef, was a highlight—warm, welcoming, and full of great stories. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and made us feel like guests in a grand home. Although we were the only guests that night, the house felt vibrant and full of life. We can’t recommend The Jarvis at 220 highly enough for a romantic weekend getaway or even as a beautiful event venue. We’ll absolutely be back!

The Jarvis is a beautiful house. It was like being in my own home( maybe nicer!). The decor is beautiful. It is a restored old home and not one detail was missed. The beds and linens were luxurious. I am picky, I need a nice firm bed with fluffy linens. This was just that. The bathroom was restored to modern efficiency with a full walk in shower but still eclectic. Coffee was ready early, and we enjoyed it on the front porch. Breakfast was not a buffet, but eggs benedict served hot. The town is completely walkable from the house. Great place for a cozy getaway. We will definitely go back.

This was our first visit to New Bern and we were so pleased that we selected the Jarvis at 220 for our one-night stay. It is memorable because the innkeeper, Ian, is a welcoming gracious host and made us a delightful breakfast in the morning. The rooms are all immaculate and beautifully appointed with gorgeous antiques. We stayed in the Jarvis Room and the extra-comfy king bed had beautiful linens. The bathroom was huge with separate sinks and filled with nearly all the toiletries you could ask for. It was a pleasure to meet and get to know Ian and we hope to stay there again on a future trip!

We have traveled all over and especially love a great historical BnB; and the Jarvis is now in our Top 3. The breakfast was wonderful, location- perfect, room amenities- tops, comfort of bed and softness of sheets- you’ll melt in them! Very clean, with nice coffee/tea bar + bottled water. Lovely front porch to rock on and watch New Bern pass by w/ a cup of coffee or beverage of your choice in the evening. Ian- he’s fantastic and simply knows everything about hospitality and the area. Do not hesitate to stay here at the Jarvis.

Outstanding experience. Recommmend highly. Ian was fantastic.

Very Happy Guest I loved everything about the Jarvis Inn. I stayed in the cottage and it was just perfect, the bed was so comfortable. Ian the Inn Keeper was very attentive and made sure I had everything I needed for my stay and he had great recommendations for dinner and night life in town which I took him up on. I especially loved breakfast Ian made the best Eggs Benedict I’ve ever had. It was my first time in New Bern definitely not my last and I look forward to staying her again.
