Thomasville Bed and Breakfast
Felt like we stepped back in time. Beautiful house. Don’t miss all the original wood floors, ceilings and trim. Joy was helpful. The breakfast was on point. I will be recommending this place to friends.

The night desk clerk was one of the nicest I have ever encountered! He was so helpful and being we were ladies and children staying he put us close to the office in the front and well in the light. I was so appreciative. The breakfast and the ladies working with breakfast were so nice and so helpful ...

We stay here a couple times a year when we are in town visiting grandchildren. It is nothing fancy at all, but we only sleep there and it's clean and affordable.
