My wife and I had a very nice time staying at Carol's Garden Inn. The first night, we arrived later than expected (around 9 PM) and Carol herself was waiting to greet us. The Inn is warm, welcoming, and feels very authentic and homey. We visited the week before Christmas, so the house (interior and exterior) was completely decked out with seasonal decorations, which my wife absolutely loved. Our room (I believe it was the Daisy Room) was very charming and the hall outside the room had a generous selection of books and movies available to guests.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention perhaps the two most memorable aspects of Carol's Garden Inn. The first was Carol's breakfasts - they were amazing. Every morning when we rose and ventured out of our rooms, we were greeted by aromas of German apple pancakes, homemade cinnamon rolls, or omelets. What a great way to start the day. The second most memorable aspect of our visit was Carol herself. She was so warm and welcoming! She helped us with suggestions of must-see spots in Durham. She made us feel very much at home. Thanks Carol - we look forward to staying with you again whenever we return to the area!
