Drove over to Wilmington and checked into the Gravestone Inn. If you know me by now you should know I adore B&Bs. I enjoy the history and charm, the personal service, the unique look and feel and the little details that inn keepers usually ensure make your experience pleasant. This place was ah-mazing! Great location and plenty of parking. This is essentially a 1900s mansion and they have 9 rooms spread over three floors - very spacious. I couldn't hear another soul in this space. Great for some quiet me time if you care for it. Very tastefully done and recently renovated. I was in the Bellamy Jr and loved that every floor has a common seating area that guests can gather at if they want. concierge at the front desk give you all the info you need on attractions. They have a grand common dining area where they serve breakfast every morning - everyday juices and breads/fruit followed by an entree of the day. They also host wine hour every evening in the library area and should you crave for something in the wee hours then they do have a 24 hour pantry with some snacks and beverages for your convenience. I was totally blown away by the space and would go back in a heartbeat. I also love that I got to meet and speak with other guests while at breakfast or whine hour and we were able to recommend and suggest to each other places to check out or dine at. That's another personal interaction you would probably never get to experience in a big hotel. Of course, if you don't care for it then it don't matter but whats the deal of visiting any place without interacting with the people there, is my train of thought. Check out the pictures and I know you will want to stay here when you visit. They are at 100 S 3rd St. in Wilmington.
