    Simply lovely. The decor and room furnishings and amenities were classic. The owner was also helpful and friendly. The breakfast was SUBLIME. Small town Rocky Mount and the mountains are a great fit for this classy but comfy old house BnB....

Company info

Please note when reading the reviews that The Claiborne Bed and Breakfast was purchased and came under new management as of June 16th, 2023. Reviews of the previous ownership are not able to be removed. In particular, the previous owner had two cats that roamed that resulted in some unhappy reviews (but some were very happy to have a surprise kitty join them!). To either your delight or chagrin, there are no longer cats roaming The Claiborne.

Property info

This Queen-Anne Victorian farmhouse was built in 1895 for Benjamin Angle, one of the founding families of Rocky Mount, atop Claiborne Avenue. It features six guest rooms, each with private bathroom with a range of sizes from double twins to king suites. The Claiborne's 130-ft wrap-around porch provides a beautiful vantage point to enjoy a glass of wine, a rocking chair, and a view of downtown Rocky Mount and surrounding mountain ranges. The home is carefully decorated in a curated collection of antique and vintage finds for a nostalgic feel, but with a nod to modern amenities such as all new linens and towels, plenty of places to charge devices, complimentary Wi-Fi, and free vehicle charging. A full hot breakfast is provided as well as all-day coffee and tea.

Neighborhood info

Rocky Mount, Virginia is the county seat of Franklin County and located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
