Hamilton Scot Inn

Very beautiful inside and out

Lovely inn keeper. The inn is closed this December but Eric was wonderful and allowed us to use the Inn for her engagement party on December 7th. Eric is extremely knowledgeable about all the historical pieces and so much more. Would highly recommend the Inn even though I haven't spent the night there. You should go there for a relaxing ambiance, the fantastic property views, and the rooms.

I called looking for peace and quiet and what I found was a majestic piece of heaven in Carey’s own backyard. Quiet, peaceful and serene with all the comforts of a 5 star hotel.
Eric opened his doors for me and from the time I heard his welcoming voice over the phone to the time I departed after my weekend getaway, he made me feel welcome and like an old friend in his home.
Small details were considered like fresh cut flowers in my room and a plate of chocolates to a warm welcome at the door followed by a tour of his magnificent house. Breakfast each morning was prepared on my time and all I had to do when I was ready was send him a text asking if the coffee was ready.
Two days was not enough to take in all the beauty the Inn has to offer and I wish I had the time to have stayed a week or more enjoying Erics hospitality and delicious food.
True hospitality at its finest! Can’t wait to come back the next time I’m in North Carolina.

While my review is quite late, I have only great things to say about the Inn and our experience. I would absolutely, and very highly, recommend the Inn to anyone considering a special occasion or even just a getaway weekend! In May of 2016, my fiance and I booked the Inn for our wedding weekend (including all events). Let me start by saying that Eric is one of the most gracious hosts we've ever encountered. He made us feel as if we were at home and part of the family, which made our weekend even more amazing. The Inn and the grounds are absolutely stunning and will take anyone's breath away, even on a regular day. But for our wedding day, Eric and Kyla turned the Inn into something magical. On-site event planning provided by Kyla made the planning a breeze and was very much appreciated. Both Eric and Kyla were willing to work with us at every step and were extremely accommodating (and very considerate of our budget!). Even our dogs were allowed to be present for the entire weekend! I'm not sure words can fully express just how grateful we are to have found such an amazing venue, coupled with such outstanding service. Our wedding day guests (around 50), including family who stayed on-site for the weekend (20 - thanks to additional sleeping arrangements provided) were all amazed at the level of service provided and the accommodations...everyone absolutely loved the wedding. Kyla and Eric took care of everything from the food ( provided by a celebrity chef!), bar service (even allowing us to bring our own), the guest rooms and decorations! Everything was fantastic and we couldn't have asked for our special day to be any more perfect..even in hindsight. So Eric, please forgive the delay in providing my review, but know that you and Kyla were instrumental in allowing us to create beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you both!!

My wife and I just spent the afternoon with Eric. And, what can one say he is a gracious and Innkeeper. The tour of the mansion and the seclusion one immediately sees and feels is palpable. Please visit and stay at this glorious place. We surely will after seeing the rooms and luscious beds. Thanks Eric for the tour!! Mike and Cindy
