Although we’ve stayed in many country inns, this was only our second time in a B&B, so we weren’t quite sure what to expect. Our stay far exceeded our expectations. Hosts Jim and Debbie Vickery were welcoming and accommodating without being intrusive. We stayed in the lovely Victorian room, and were impressed by all of the little personal touches that made our two-day stay particularly memorable. Breakfast in the morning included fresh fruit salad, homemade zucchini or pumpkin bread, and a hearty entree, such as banana pancakes with sausage, or baked ham and eggs with cheese. We played backgammon on the porch while enjoying an afternoon snack, and took advantage of the Vickery's extensive collection of DVDs. The home is conveniently located to the downtown area, and the Vickerys helped out by providing dining recommendations and directions. If you’re planning to visit the Durham area, I wholeheartedly recommend a stay at the Old North Durham Inn.
