The Jarvis at 220

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.

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 Gleason Cottage at Jarvis was the best accommodation we have ever experienced. The attention to detail that went into the design, execution, and decor of the space was superb. The very comfortable bed, luxurious shower, huge closet with washer/dryer, full kitchen, and carefully selected furnishings, made the Gleason a peaceful getaway. The icing on the cake were the special breakfasts that Ian thoughtfully prepared each morning. This is a one-of-a-kind gem and we will be back!

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.

My husband and I have been staying at B & B's for 28 years and the Jarvis is our favorite! Not only was the house spotless and beautifully decorated, the innkeeper, Ian Smith, made our visit priceless. The breakfasts he served were delicious and beautifully presented. Ian has a great eye for details to make your visit memorable. He is by far the most cordial and attentive innkeeper we have ever encountered and made us feel like a guest in his home. We stayed in the cottage and it was worth every penny.
