Really enjoyed our stay, but: not much soap in the bathroom, breakfast vouchers were nowhere near enough to pay for breakfast, would be nice to have some cookies or doughnuts for people with no time for breakfast on the morning they travel.

We didn’t want to leave!
Charming Victorian home! We enjoyed hot tea and snacks left by the owner upon our arrival. We stayed in the Fireside Room. The bed was comfortable, a little bit creaky, but comfortable and we slept well. The house was very clean and the owner is super nice. There are vouchers for breakfast at a local restaurant in a cute town square with lots of shopping.

A Magical Manor!
Amazing in every way! The Carriage Lane Inn is a grand home that takes you back to the 1899 era when it was built with bespoke furniture, elegant decor, and spacious manor rooms. Staying here is both a priviledge and a pleasure, creating a memory I will treasure forever. The hosts are fantastic, and the location is central to everything in Murfreesboro. More than excellent, this place is absolutely magical!

The bed was terribly saggy. The house was cute, but you could hear every little thing the other guests were doing/saying from our room. We got no sleep. Pros: the shower had good hot water. The surrounding area was quaint and we were able to walk to the diner that they provide breakfast vouchers for.

So this was a cute little place, but the room was set up a little different than the photos, which was okay, but then the bathroom had a huge window by the tub with a SHEER curtain, and you could see right in to the bathroom from the outside...

Not a Bed and Breakfast
The place was very clean and in good repair. However it is not a bed and breakfast. It is a room in a house and you get a voucher for breakfast redeemable at a nearby restaurant. So that took away greatly from the experience. Guess I didnt read enough reviews to know that. So for me the higher price was not worth it.

Liked the historic character and friendliness of the owners. They were also very accommodating if a problem arose. For example, the breakfast place (nearby restaurant) was closed for Veterans Day. So, the owner reimbursed the same amount at another restaurant of our choice. I would definitely return.

B&Bfan, Indianapolis, us

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
On line it said the B&B was full and we were reserving the last room out of 8 rooms. We looked forward to an enjoyable conversation with other guests over breakfast but there actually were no other guests. Nor was there a nice home cooked breakfast-instead we were handed a voucher to a diner that we had to leave the B & B to get to with diner quality food. The B&B was rather shabby and the seating in our room was worn out and soiled. The mattress was not very good. Definitely not worth the price. Overall I would not recommend this to others. It is not a typical B&B experience. On the plus side there was plenty of hot water.

I am sorry you were disappointed with your stay. This is a Historic Inn. We love sending our guest to City Cafe for breakfast. It is on the downtown square. It is true, this is not a typical Bed and Breakfast and depending on the privacy of our other guests you may or may not see them.

This property has 3 rentals, 2 houses and the event house. We were in the main house. The first floor king bedroom was comfortable and clean. If you like eclectic and vintage from Victorian and onward this will be fine for you. If you are looking for fully updated and pristine the property may not be for you. A breakfast voucher is given to you for a wonderful cafe on the square, typical small town and delicious. It is located on the former Oakland’s plantation.

I loved this house! The tall ceilings, the hardwood floors! We had a great room with a private bathroom. The common area was nice and the kitchen was great. We put our things from our cooler in the fridge overnight. The bed slept well. We went to the City Cafe for breakfast and that was also a great experience. Our vouchers covered our whole meal - a win win situation! We were close to the event venue we came to town for, and Frank (the person who signed us in and showed us everything) told us tricks to getting there that the GPS just doesn't know. Overall great experience and if we ever have the need to stay in Murfreesboro again, I would definitely go back there. Excellent value!
