A full, and scrumptious, breakfast served each morning may include apple-pecan pancakes, Canadian bacon, homemade breads, muffins and fresh ground coffee, teas and juice. The Meadows Inn, formerly known as the King's Arms Inn, was a private residence until 1980 when it was established as New Bern's first bed and breakfast inn. The inn is now named for its original owner, New Bern merchant John Alexander Meadows, who built the house in 1847. Meadows Inn has eight guest rooms, each with television, VCR, private bath and antique and reproduction furniture. A housetop suite offers a beautiful river view.
Phones are available in each room, and local calls are free.
Complimentary soft drinks and tea are always on hand. Military and corporate rates are available, and call for special rates for holidays and special events such as weddings. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This Colonial Revival style bed and breakfast is about a block from the Tryon Palace Complex. All rooms are air-conditioned and have private baths and telephones.
