The Holly & Ivy Inn

OMG where do I start??? This is the first time we book a B&B and we weren't sure what to expect since online pictures and real life don't come close to comparison sometimes. Well, we were blown away. The cleanliness and tidiness and attention to detail were excellent and the room (The Farmhouse) just absolutely beautiful. We met (we assume) Mr. Hayes and he was nothing short of courteous and friendly. Our room was ready about an hour before check-in thanks to his speedy service. We fell in love with the feel of the bed and comforter - trust me, you've never experienced anything like this and you must. Ironed sheets??? Yes, that's right! We can't rave enough about how spotless and antique-with-a-modern-twist this beautiful place is. The ONLY thing we didn't like, and this had nothing to do with the B&B itself, was that immediately after turning the corner you're in a rough looking neighborhood. Just be weary overall, but that shouldn't take away from the experience of booking at The Holly and Ivy Inn. We truly wish the Hayes many blessings in their continued business. THANK YOU!

This place is wonderful. I stayed here in October and couldn’t wait to stay here again. The rooms are so well decorated and warm and inviting and clean. The whole house is beautiful and they have everything you could need – extra toiletries, snacks, drinks, etc. - and a nice patio to have coffee and/or a glass of wine. It is also walking distance into downtown – great location. The owner is so helpful and even though we weren’t sure how long we would be staying, he did whatever he could to work it out so we’d have a room available. The value of this place is amazing and so much better than staying in a hotel room. Highly recommend.

The service is spectacular & cleanliness stellar. It’s rare to find customer service of this magnitude at any business. What a lovely home & ownership.

Excellent place to stay right near downtown Newton, NC! David and his wife (the owners) have the best customer service! We stopped here on Labor Day weekend on the way to the mountains to celebrate my wife's birthday. From the time we booked the master suite until check out, the service was excellent! Room very clean and nicely decorated. The B&B is in a good location close to everything. The snacks we're tasty, and although their wasn't a full breakfast due to covid restrictions, the snacks and food provided throughout the day made up for it. Highly recommended! Minority friendly is a plus as well because we have been some places in smaller towns that we were not welcomed as a black couple, but I could tell that David and his wife love all people. We will be back! ud83dude0a

Exceeded expectations on every level from making the reservation to check out. Clean, cozy with everything you could need and more. The owner was super sweet, gave us restaurant recommendations and was there for anything we needed. I would definitely stay here again!
