We had a very comfortable stay at Franklin Terrace bed and breakfast! Paul is the sweetest person and he takes best care of his customers. It is centrally located and easy walk to Main Street. It’s nice to know that it’s recognized as national historic place. The structure is originally erected in 1887!! If there’s something to complain, the bed is too soft for our convenience and one of the staff Kelly can be little bit more friendly.

Charming b&b. Used to be girls school in 1800s. Each room decorated differently. Breakfast delicious. If you want something different, safe, and charming, it’s worth consideration.

Everything a bed and breakfast should be- charming host, comfortable room, yummy breakfast! Plus screened in porches for reading or games. It’s an old house with modern conveniences and has a great story. Walking distance to many shops and restaurants. We couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay.

I was in Franklin for just one evening and had booked at the Franklin Terrace Bed and Breakfast. I had not noticed that I was not on the first floor and since I have issues with stairs I mentioned this to Paul. There weren't any rooms on the first floor so he offered to give me a refund if I wanted to go somewhere else. I decided it would be ok for one night if I just used my backpack and left my suitcase in the car but Paul figured out a solution in a larger cottage room that I could use and not have any stairs and he didn't charge me for the extra cost. There were a lot of things going on at the place when I arrived, the AC was being fixed, a window had been broken in one of the rooms and Paul was dealing with that besides finding me the perfect room. Breakfast was delicious and during that time Paul told us about the history of this B&B. Paul definitely made the stay welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed.

Our stay here was very relaxing. The home is very old and that gives it such personality. Loved the old furniture, pictures, decorations, etc. Our host made an amazing breakfast with homemade strawberry jam and whipped cream. Would stay here again next time we go to Franklin!

The host and staff were awesome. Really nice sized bed and breakfast in the heart of Franklin. Only stayed for a night in the Baron room but it was so inviting and enjoyable. The breakfast spread was awesome and we really appreciated The host. Just had a great stay and hope to stay for a longer period of time next visit. Highly recommended!

Iffy way to escape fire. Cushions on porches dusty and dirty. Very old building in need of maintenance. Part of floor rotted in bathroom. Very small shower. Innkeeper nice, but failed to bring extra towels when requested. Breakfast good. Mattress hard.
