A charming Inn in a charming Town.
Lovely old Inn in the heart of Hillsborough. They have complimentary coffee every morning and biscuits if you ask for them. Even though it was not listed as an ADA room a grab bar in the shower would help due to shower size. Sky lights are in 2nd floor annex rooms. While lovely, the sun rises early. The room had been beautifully renovated and was very clean. The Inn offers lunch and dinner. However there are lots of fun places to eat in town. It’s best to sit outside and enjoy a beverage.

2 night stay
The Colonial was great! Beautiful, peaceful, and with plenty of old southern charm. Great location to downtown Hillsborough. Stayed in a double queen room annex and it was very spacious. Beds were very comfortable and bathroom was very nice. Really liked the outdoor seating for relaxing. Only constructive criticism is they need towel rods on walls in addition to the hooks and it would be nice to have the small refrigerator sit on a table instead of on the floor. Will definitely stay there again when in the area!
