My Granddaughter and I visited the Arrowhead Inn, Fri-Sun.

The Inn is delightful, as is it's location. Our room (Benson) was beautiful. The room had everything we needed and more.

The food was wonderful! The cranberry scones - melt in the mouth delicious.

The innkeepers, Phil and Gloria were also delightful.

We could not think of a thing we would change!

I highly recommend it!

The cabin was absolutely lovely; we did not want to leave! It is a beautiful place to get away from everything and just relax in a gorgeous and well thought out environment. Not only was the cabin beautiful, but the garden was amazing. I would love to go back during the Spring to see it in bloom. I agree with one other reviewer that the breakfast was excellent with the exception of the main egg dish. I love garlic, but this was just too much. Overall, I would go back there in a heartbeat; it was worth every penny.

Located about 7-8 miles outside Durham, this historic inn has all the stuff that gives it a high rating and generally deserving of its high regard by Tripadvisor reviewers. We were generally happy with our one night stay, but found our breakfast to be better in its side dishes (jams, fruit, bread) than in the main egg offering, and felt that the innkeepers were more business people than they were passionate innkeepers. Still Arrowhead was a good value, and had the weather been better we could have enjoyed the expansive grounds, which looked quite lovely outside our rain streaked window.

The Arrowhead Inn was a rare gem in all respects. Splendid setting. Lovely old plantation manor house. Cozy elegant rooms. Gourmet breakfast. And most important, hosts who make you feel at home. The library of dvd's is an added plus for insomniacs like myself. My only regret was staying here in Winter when I could not take advantage of the hammock out back under the magnolia tree surrounded by a sprawling garden. Guess I'll just have to go back.
