The Teacherage was very quiet, clean and relaxing. The hostess was accommodating and helpful. We enjoyed breakfast on the side porch in a country setting with birds and trees.

This was quite the little surprise. This house was awesome. The owners of this property were great!! We were met at the door, as we pulled into the drive. If we are ever in this area, I will stay here again.

The innkeepers were friendly and accomodating. The location was perfect for our planned activities at nearby state parks. We appreciate the adaptive reuse of an historic structure.

Convient and affordable
The Teacherage was an interesting house. Historic background. The room was a bit austere, could have used a few touches, like cups/glasses/rugs (was chilly on the feet). Bathroom was simple, there again not terribly welcoming However, the host was very nice and price was good. Trash had not been emptied and mirror could have used a cleaning

B&B
We really liked the couple that run this B&B. They do all they can to make your stay great. It is differently not make for longer stays then a few nights No tv in room, had to share a bathroom, we were in the up stairs bedroom, hard stairs to climb and the most hardest thing was we had to be quite all the time like at 7pm we were asked to be quiet.

The Teacherage
The hostess was delightful! The location, in the country and during peak season for beaches, was perfect for us. It was central to each area we visited.

8/10 Very good

My room was clean and very comfortable and the innkeepers were welcoming and friendly. Some of the reviews had me a little worried but I am glad I disregarded them. I will stay there again when I go to Norfolk.

This is an out-of-the-way B&B. It looks run down on the outside, but it was quite nice. The owners were very friendly and accommodating.

It has potential or is on downhill slide
Odd 48 hour prior arrival time notification required to make sure host is there. All reservations done via on-line registration through an offshore provider who is not friendly. Did not see a phone number on the website. Did not feel open, relaxing, or particularly welcome. Felt like we had to stay in bedroom or kitchen. Require guests to haul away their own trash! Room was hot. Sleep Number mattress in a waterbed frame, but firmness control did not work. Bathroom marginally clean. Kitchen use allowed, but BYO food and pots and dishes.

Comfort, quiet, and a glimpse into history awaits!
This beautiful historic landmark is being lovingly restored by a friendly and dedicated couple. Our room was clean, nicely furnished, and included a very comfortable queen bed and private bath. We were served a sumptuous breakfast at 8am each morning except our last, since we had to leave at 5 am. Our hosts left us a del service breakfast instead, and before hitting the road we enjoyed coffee, oatmeal, yoghurt, and cheese. The parlor features many interesting books, a marvelous collection of decor and furnishings, magazines, a chess set, and photographs depicting local history. We had breakfast one sunny morning on the side porch, where they keep the croquet set. Sunbury is one of many quiet little towns with long histories in the region, and while it has few stores, it offers lovely country drives to places of interest from Edenton and Hertford to Murfreesboro, and even Suffolk Virginia. It sits on the edge of the Great Dismal Swamp, with all of its natural and historic tours and activities. The Swamp was a major link in the Underground Railroad. Nearby Scotland Neck boasts an interesting bird sanctuary, with thousands of birds from around the world. The Teacherage itself has a fascinating history, which our hosts were enthusiastic to share. We felt right at home there, got great sleep, great food, and enjoyed the very special ambiance of this bucolic North Carolina bed and breakfast!

Stay at Teacherage
Our stay at the Teacherage was pretty much what we expected. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of light for reading in the room. The private bath room was tiny and the sink was in the room rather than in the bathroom. However, it was helpful to have a toilet nearby in the night as we are an older couple. The hostess was very nice seemed eager to help us if we needed any help.

Excellent stay at The Teacherage
The Inn keepers were very friendly and accommodating, the Inn was very clean and well-kept. Room was cozy, clean and pre-warmed. I'll be staying here again! (To qualify, I did not eat the food, but was required to leave a score. I'm sure it's delicious though)

hidden gem
I would recommend this to a friend with one caveat. If you are looking for a fancy upscale inn this is not your place. If you are looking for a simple place with soul then you'll feel at home.

The bed was super comfortable but the room stayed pretty warm the entire time we were there (July). I never could connect to the wifi and cell signal is non existent for AT&T. Be prepared to travel at least 15-20 minutes for food. Perfect location to visit Dismal Swamp and Merchants Millpond State Parks. Everyone was very friendly.

4/10 Fair

Teacherage first time
Confusion on breakfast procedure the first day but better the next. Had some ants the first day. Rain the next day took are of that. Didn't see anyone until breakfast the second day. Not much interaction.Advertises view of garden but not sure where that was. Couldn't use the shower next to our room. Had to go downstairs for a shower. Upstairs bath was quite muggy and hot. Sitting or social rooms were not available for use most of the time. I would like to give it another try if it is brought up to what is advertised.
