 "Less B&B than elegant mansion, Graystone is downtown but feels as quiet and remote as the countryside." Full review
 "This is the grandest of Wilmington's B&B inns. A neoclassical stone mansion from 1905, it offers 12- to 14-foot ceilings and Victorian-period furnishings." Full review
 "This B&B inn was built in 1905-06, and a tasteful remodel has maintained its lovely turn-of-the-century charms."
