The Nutmeg — Hotel in Wilmington

A very comfortable place to lay your head and catch a nice breakfast in the morning.

The couple that runs this B&B are from the UK and South Africa and are a very sweet couple and very helpful.

Reportedly they have 14 guest rooms here. The rooms are of different sizes and they also have family suites (that I have not seen yet). All rooms seem to have different layouts and furnishings which is nice not go have a cookie cutter room in each room (as long as you are the type that is ok with that). You are greeted with a couple of chocolate chip cookies and a mini fridge which offers snacks (cookies are free, the snacks you have to pay for). There is a TV in each room and I believe each room has its own bathroom and shower. The rooms are split between the two floors and each time our room was upstairs. They do offer WiFi, but connectivity from the upstairs guest rooms is weak at best.

Downstairs this B&B has a wood burning stove in one room and a fireplace in the dining room which they keep stoked. There are couches and comfy chairs to curl up in and read a book or just doze in (as I did). They have a table in one of the rooms so if you bring back a snack or dinner you can sit there and eat. They have a game room with board games and puzzles (although there are guest rooms right off of the game room, so not sure if the people playing games might disturb the guests). There's a room with books to choose from and the whole atmosphere is quiet and peaceful. They also offer a pay-as-you-go mini bar with a handful of offerings just off of one of the living rooms.

The breakfast part of the "B&B" is slightly curtailed at the moment due to the pandemic. Instead of sitting at a table and ordering breakfast, you must order the evening before and a brown paper bag breakfast is waiting for you. A bit of a downer, but not anyone's fault under the conditions. But there is self-serve coffee, juice, tea, etc. for those that need. I wish coffee was left out and fresh for more than just breakfast, but that's ok, there's an independent coffee place just up the road on Route 9 within walking distance.

They also have a relatively new outdoor pool which I think would be nice to come back and use during the summer weather and perhaps we might just do it .... after all, our most recently visit, it was -12.4 degrees when we woke up in the morning which didn't allow for a...

Disappointing Stay at Nutmeg Bed and Breakfast

(Update: I see this property is for sale) Unfortunately, my stay at Nutmeg Bed and Breakfast in Wilmington was not what I had hoped for, especially after paying almost $250 for one night.
