The Jarvis at 220

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.

Apologies to the Jarvis on this tardy review. We stayed back in April as guests when the property was re-opening under new owners. This was our third stay having been guests under previous owners. Our experience was 5/5, if you loved the Jarvis before you will continue to love the Jarvis. It continues to be our Go-To for our accommodations when we are in New Bern. It gets an A+ for rooms, location, breakfast, and much more. If you like a quiet and peaceful stay (check), if you love a great breakfast (check), if you want to be extremely close to downtown (check) and much, much more. I hate for the word to get out and rooms to be difficult to book but the Jarvis has earned a 5 star rating and all that comes with great reviews!

The Jarvis is an amazing property!! From the front porch to the fluffy pillows, everything was exceptional. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating. Brandi, the owner was on site, and offered superb southern hospitality. Ian, took care of every detail, and is quite an amazing chef. They both offered plenty of advice on must do’s and eats. Very convenient walk to a lovely downtown with everything you could want or need. We look forward to coming back very soon.

Outstanding Gem recently re-opened for B&B stays, previously the Jarvis at 220 was only available as an event venue. My wife and I were there celebrating Mother’s Day. The rooms were large and comfortable, and the porches always seemed to be shady. Centrally located to everything downtown, the Tryon Palace was walking distance. The basement is an inviting playroom, with billiards, flatscreens, and oversized stuffed sectionals, perfect for relaxing on a hot afternoon. The staff was meticulously organized and friendly, it felt like a home and not just lodging.

What an amazing weekend at Jarvis 220. Truly the R&R we needed, staying in the Sunset Suite; perfect for a couple and very elegant and calming! The owners, Michael and Denise were welcoming, friendly, accommodating, and definitely present to assist with the needs of all who were staying there! All the years we have traveled and stayed at B&Bs, this one absolutely is in our top five! It was spotless, with the highest quality toiletries, linens, towels, down to the smallest detail. Denise is quite the chef, and spoiled us with her yummy breakfasts! She even provided wine and cheese Friday evening upon our arrival! New Bern was just lovely and everything we had remembered…friendly, quaint, great restaurants and selection of breweries…we drove out to Oriental and had a lovely lunch at Yawl’s…definitely worth the trip! We will return sooner than later. Thanks again Michael and Denise! P.S. Jarvis 220 is a lovely wedding venue, as witnessed by us during our stay…truly amazing, and magical♥️
