Bed and Breakfast Description

Relax with afternoon refreshments on the veranda overlooking the award-winning English gardens or fireside in the parlor. Located in park-like grounds in the famed Grove Park district, the Albemarle Inn offers ten elegant rooms and a spacious two-room suite with an enclosed sun porch. Each room pampers guests in the luxurious comfort of period furnishings, fine linens, goosedown quilts, and a private bath with a clawfoot tub. Gourmet breakfasts graced with crisp linen and gleaming silver are served each morning in the candlelit dining room or the warm, light-filled sunporch overlooking an English garden.

Our gourmet breakfast menu varies daily featuring an assortment of chilled juices, seasonal fruit dishes, gourmet entrees and great teas and coffee (the beans are roasted here in Asheville for our own special blend). In addition to serving fresh fruit salad with lime yogurt topped with pecans, we feature a number of warm or baked fruit dishes which bring raves from our guests including cinnamon poached pears and strawberry soup.

Among our guests' favorite entrees are stuffed French toast(topped with orange sauce), homemade ruffled crepes with roasted red bell pepper sauce (featured on the cover of Marquee magazine) and eggs florentine topped with tomato-basil vinaigrette, made with basil fresh from our own herb garden.

And save a little room... we delight in surprising our guests on occasion with a dessert course. Guests rave about our homemade lemon tea bread.
