Welcome to the Ann Street Inn

Surrounded by the charm of one of the oldest towns in North Carolina, the Ann Street Inn is housed in a beautiful, historic two story home that was built in 1832. The Inn is decorated with heirlooms, art and antiques that will transport you back to a time of quiet grace and simple pleasures. Ideally situated on a quiet, tree-lined street, the Inn is a haven of comfort and romance.

Each guest room has a private bath and is furnished and decorated in a different romantic theme; two of the rooms have whirlpool tubs. Each room includes luxury bath amenities – just bring your toothbrush! Cozy, yet elegant, living and dining areas complete your home away from home.

I have been the proprietor of the Ann Street Inn for over 16 years now. During that time, I've met a lot of wonderful people, but none as wonderful as my husband John... we were just married over New Years, 2020!

Born and raised in Louisiana, I understand the true meaning of Southern hospitality – and the importance of delicious food! Leave “continental” behind – breakfast at the Inn is an event: home-made specialties such as quiche, breakfast casseroles, and fried grits are complemented by fresh fruits and juices, and Beaufort’s best coffee – imported from Louisiana 🙂

As the Inn has only three guest rooms, you can be assured that your needs and requests, be they restaurant recommendations or dietary requirements, will be personally handled.

I look forward to seeing y’all soon! Donna Babington – Owner, Ann Street Inn

We are conveniently located in the center of downtown Olde Beaufort. The Ann Street Inn is a short, one block walk from Front Street and the Beaufort Inlet waterfront. Filled with whimsical shops, casual water-front cafes, world-class restaurants, and venues that feature live music late into the night, Front Street literally provides “something for everyone”.

Interested in history? Just stroll down Ann Street, past historic homes and beautiful gardens, to visit treasures such as the Old Burying Grounds and the Beaufort Historic Site, with its authentically restored homes dating back to the 18th century, and buildings such as the Old County Jail (c. 1829) or the Apothecary Shop (c. 1859). The North Carolina Maritime Museum is just a few steps further, on Front Street.

When it’s time to come home, you can choose between relaxing in your own antique-filled room or on one of the Inn’s two wide front verandas, open to refreshing breezes and overlooking the leafy green beauty of Ann Street. We use Young Living, Thieves household cleaning products. It’s a green ecologically friendly plant-based cleaner containing thieves and lemon YLTG quality essence oils. Because it is free of harsh chemicals it is safe for use around children and everyone!

We also have an award-winning garden and sitting area out back: a tranquil setting that provides even more peace, quiet, and privacy. You can nap, read, or enjoy a complimentary cocktail or glass of wine as the sun sets.

Come enjoy the ultimate in relaxation and leave your worries behind. Feel the breeze, hear the birds, enjoy the sun and let us show you what Southern Hospitality is all about.

We’ll be back

“Adopted granddaughter, Kassie, and I enjoyed a Spring Break evening with Donna at her B&B. After a long drive in pouring rain, she greeted me with a glass of wine and plenty of cookies for Kassie. Gracious hospitality, a tasty send-off breakfast and an open door for friends to stop by. A word of warning to anyone who loves games – she’s competitive and dreams of Rummycard moves in her head. We’ll return soon to enjoy the sites in and around Beaufort — and book a room at Ann St. Inn.”

Just Perfect

5 Heart Review on ILoveInns.com

“We were staying with relatives in Salisbury NC and drove to Beaufort for a three night stay. We booked The Ann Street Inn and it was perfect in every way. We had a lovely welcome from Donna who is a charming lady who looked after us so well during our stay. Our room was lovely with a balcony to sit on and watch the world go by and a large comfortable bed. Breakfasts each morning were fabulous and changed each day….all the food home cooked by Donna. The Inn is within 5 minutes walk of this pretty town yet it’s on a quiet street. There are plenty of good restaurants in town and Donna had very kindly booked some for us. It was a real treat to stay with you, Donna in your lovely home and I hope we see you again on a future trip to America.”

Wonderful Anniversary

5 Heart Review on ILoveInns.com

“We were celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary, and we were very pleased with our choice to stay at the Ann Street Inn. From the moment we arrived, Donna made us feel right at home. The Duke of Beaufort Room was most comfortable, and the jacuzzi was perfect. The breakfasts were divine, especially the fried grits. We also enjoyed meeting some of Donna’s friends and sharing drinks and pimento cheese on the front porch. Donna has created a great oasis in beautiful Beaufort, North Carolina. Her southern charm and hospitality are the epitome of America’s #1 Small Town. We would not hesitate to book another stay at the Ann Street Inn. It totally lived up to its wonderful reviews!”

Great Inn!

5 Heart Review on ILoveInns.com

“First visit to Ann St. Inn for us, but not the last. We spent two great nights in the Duke of Beaufort room. Donna is a fantastic hostess making every effort to make our stay a good one. The room, house, porch and garden are built for relaxing and chilling! Donna is a great cook, tour director and conversationalist!. The location is quiet and convenient. We parked our car (private spaces provided) and never needed it until we departed. Everything for a great couple days is within walking distance. Only compliant is that we we only stayed two nights!”
