Hi!

I just wanted to let you know how amazing our stay was at Duncraig Manor this weekend!  So many reasons that my husband Scott and I had such a lovely time.

Ed and his wife were so VERY NICE, we felt at home the entire time!  They were both so welcoming, accommodating, and helpful throughout our entire stay.

The house is so beautiful, what attention to detail!  We enjoyed our time admiring the pictures, antiques and special items in the common areas of the home.

The breakfasts we had were so very tasty!  What a start to the day, really very nice.

So happy that we were able to do the 5:00 hors d’oeuvres, the conversations had were so enjoyable! Glad to not miss it, thanks for offering that!

The gardens, well…so so beautiful.  So many beautiful things from the fountains, mossy bricks of the paths, lily pads, beautiful furniture to sit on, such quality iron gates to walk through, enjoyed looking at the variety of plants, beautiful exterior lighting at night, loved every moment.

A big thanks for the wonderful stay and will plan to come again!

My buddy and I stayed here as part of a short golf trip. The accommodations and breakfast were great and I enjoyed photographing the property and grounds. The owners were great and we enjoyed the other guests. I highly recommend it.

Donald & Caroline,

Thank you so much for everything you did to make our wedding day so special. 

We had the perfect weekend getaway at Duncraig Manor and Gardens. The property and home are just beautiful and met all of our comfort needs nestled in the quaint town of Southern Pines. We enjoyed every moment from relaxing on the Terrace with a cup of coffee, delicious afternoon hors d’oeuvres and drinks, to the most amazing breakfast. The small touches like turndown service and even recognizing my husband’s birthday meant the world. Nothing was as amazing as the owners Don and Caroline and their attention to detail, kind and welcoming atmosphere, and their help for us by making dinner reservations and booking our massages in the spa which allowed us to just relax and enjoy our time fully. The town offered such great places to eat and explore which made it the perfect getaway. We highly recommend a stay here and will be back for sure!

Caroline and Donald,

What a pleasure it was to spend such a lovely weekend at Duncraig Manor.  My daughter, Mary, and I felt so warmly welcomed by the inviting ambience of your inn.  It truly was like staying in the luxurious home of a friend!

Your breakfasts were not only delicious, but lavish and nourishing as well.

Many, many thanks for your gracious hospitality.  I hope I get the chance to stay again.

The Duncraig went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend spectacular. Caroline and Don are not just proprietors, but the heart and soul of the Duncraig. They are vital to what a wonderful experience it was to have them host me, and my family, as the bride to be before my big day, as well as my husband and I following our wedding. I would recommend any bride make the Duncraig part of your wedding. It’s big enough to host a reception on the manicured grounds, but also very intimate with a luxurious private honeymoon suite. Additionally, any traveler looking for the southern charm of an immaculately refurbished manor in the best historically preserved town in NC should put the Duncraig as a must stay. The hospitality, food, and atmosphere were 5 out of 5. Thank you Caroline & Don, we can’t wait for our next visit!

Dear Don & Caroline,

I’ve stayed in many places in the U.S., SE Asia and Europe.  Without exception, Duncraig is the most gracious of all.  I appreciated your warm hospitality and excellent food.  The overall splendor won’t soon be forgotten.

God bless both of you.

Thanks for a wonderful stay. The house was spectacular, as was our room & breakfast. So glad we came. A wonderful birthday present.

A wonderful relaxing place.
I loved it! We will be back! Perfect as is !

Do yourself a favor and stay here. The grounds, home, etc. are incredible and one of a kind. My husband and I were looking for a place that would feel like an experience as it was our 10th wedding anniversary and that was what was provided and more. Upon arriving and pulling up to this picturesque manor, we were greeted by Caroline and she made us feel right at home, and gave us a tour of the home. They have lovingly restored this manor and put thoughtful touches into the design (rooms were themed around different countries or cities/states). Then Don and Caroline served wine and appetizers poolside! Delicious! And we talked with the other guests as we sipped and snacked. For dinner they had plenty of recommendations and offered to make us reservations. We headed towards Pinehurst for dinner although there were plenty of places for us to dine just 5 minutes away. The next morning’s breakfast (eggs Benedict and waffles) was perfection with added ambience of eating with the other guests, plus music, plus the view of the grounds from the windows. Can’t wait to travel to Duncraig again and spend more time with Don and Caroline! (Logistically – the place was sparkling clean, beds comfy and there was plenty of privacy if it was wanted. This is a place that gives you that five star feeling from start to finish.)

We had an amazing stay at the Duncraig Manor. They go above and beyond with the 5 PM wine with hors d’ouevres, turn down service, and the breakfast was to die for. Highly recommend staying here and we can’t wait to visit again!

This is a beautifully restored estate located on the outskirts of the charming town of Southern Pines, NC.  This Tudor-style mansion was originally built by the head of Quaker Oats.  Touches of charm are everywhere — antiques, paintings, gardens and fountains.  The restoration is a marvel of preserving the past while adding modern touches — like instant hot water tanks and WI-FI.  The wine and mini-meal on arrival were bested only by the morning breakfast.  We celebrated our anniversary using Duncraig as a B&B, but it is so elegant that it could also serve as an event venue.  You will enjoy your host and hostess, too.  They have plenty of experience at this (including properties in Missouri, Colorado, New York and Georgia) and it shows. 

My husband and I spent our honeymoon here. By far the most amazing place! 

Wonderfully restored and beautifully historic manor! Great place to stay!

Rest. Renew. Return.
May God bless you for the mercy and grace you have shared with us.

Lovely stay. Hosts were delightful. WiFi worked great, beds & linens were plush, “Butler’s Pantry” open to all for drinks and snacks. East access to WM Foundation & downtown So Pines. Literally nothing to even nit-pick as a criticism.
