“private, convenient, classic - a B&B to remember”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2011

We stayed in the cottage because we had 2 kids with us and were thrilled with the decor and comfortable beds. The claw foot bath was great. Janice and Portia were so friendly and helpful and yet completely laid back.They had to leave early in the morning so they brought breakfast to the cottage and made sure we had everything we needed. They even let us use the cottage for the day and take our time checking out. It's true The French House does not take credit cards but it was all in keeping with the place which is from another time! The house is 4 blocks from the historic district and 4 blocks from the Cape Fear Museum which the kids loved. The area was lovely to walk around, beautiful historic homes everywhere. It was also kind of fun to think of all the movies stars who had stayed there (Wilmington has the largest production studio outside of Hollywood) and we had a giggle reading the thank you notes! I recommend going to Wilmington just to stay at the French House!

“When of the best B&B stays we have had”

We just returned from a stay at this wonderful B&B. It exceeded our expectations on every level. We had the French Suite and I really did feel like I was sleeping in Provence. The room was large with a huge, beautiful bath & claw foot tub and vanity. The bed was comfy and it was nice and cool on a very hot day. The room had a fridge which the owner stocked with coke, water and beer! We also had this lovely sitting room with fire place and down sofa to ourselves. The pouch was beautiful & had a comfy couch and fan. I sat out there and enjoyed some tea and watched the neighborhood go by. In the morning, Janice (the owner) brought breakfast to our room on a tray. Parking was free and easy and we walked to several good restaurants. The location of this place perfect for visiting Wilmington. We like Elijah Restaurant for crab cakes---nice view directly on the river. We had dinner at Deluxe. A foodie destination with a nice menu and wine list but I must warn that is was noisy. We could even walk to Kilwins for really great ice cream. It took us about 15 minutes to drive to The Point at the end of Wrightsville Beach for a day of reading and swimming. It was a walk from the car to the water but it is a peaceful calm beach. We packed lunch and drinks in our own cooler and Janice gave us ice. Can't wait go back from another heavenly short get-away.

“Beautiful home, Fantastic Hostess, Great Location”

I just completed a 2 night stay at the French House B&B. Janice is the best. She went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed to enjoy my time in Wilmington. The B&B is located in the historic district and is within walking distance of attractions and restaurants. Parked my car when I arrived and didn't move it until I was ready to leave. The suite is lovely - large and spacious with plenty of amenities.

“outstanding bed and breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2010

Highest recommendation. We stayed for two night at the French house and could not be more pleased with the rooms, the breakfast and the hospitality . It was great. The location is ideal for walking around the old town of Wilmington and is located near to many interesting and historic sites.
