The room was amazing. Breakfast was so delicious. The owner Patrick, was so gracious and over accommodating. He upgraded our room without asking. We will definitely stay here for now on when I visit my (Birthplace) home town. Patrick ‘s dog was so cute. He greets you and loves to visit. We felt at home.Rooms: Our King suite was spacious with a living room. The bathroom was the size of a bedroom.Nearby activities: The Museum is in walking distance as well. The water is near as well.Safety: We felt safe and can’t wait to go back.Walkability: Walking to downtown area is a plus!Food & drinks: Breakfast was amazing. I love French toast but Patrick’s is the best I ever had. My husband had eggs , bacon and potatoes, he loved it as well.

This was our second time staying at the Blue Ruby and in the first floor suite. It’s a very spacious suite and the separate entrance/porch is a plus. Patrick is a wonderful host with lots of knowledge of the homes history and the area. The cherry on top is the delicious breakfast made fresh each morning at the time you choose.

I can’t say enough about Patrick, the amazing food, the beautiful home and how special we felt. We will be back and can’t wait for another hug and amazing experience. He took care of all of our family of 15 and made it look easy.

Its like having a suite at b&b price. Fabu breakfast, kept us full till dinner. Think family has stayed in every room at this point & all were comfortable with plenty of space. Dog friendly makes this our go-to place in EC.

Patrick was a great host, and the food was absolutely delicious. The location was great, and our room was clean and very spacious. It was close to breweries, coffee shops and local shopping. The price was great, and we will return for sure.

We stayed at Blue Ruby for 2 nights while visiting family in EC for Thanksgiving. Have been before when it was Grice Fearing house but this is a totally different vibe. Patrick is a wonderful innkeeper and all of our requests were met with a smile. It's a very relaxed, quiet and friendly atmosphere. I love Patrick's style for decorating! The breakfast is made to order and was delicious! Close to everything downtown. Reasonable prices! Very dog friendly!! Lacey is a sweetheart greeter and gets 5 stars!!! Will be back!

Historic home with lots of charm. Host was great and very accommodating. I traveled alone with my pup Jolene, I felt safe walking her in the area. Breakfast was delicious too.

The Blue Ruby is a wonderful experience, not just a place to stay. It is charming from the moment you walk in, relaxing while having a glass of wine on the porch, and immaculate for a good night's sleep. Breakfast is hot and delicious with great conversation! It is conveniently located for a walk through town by the river. I couldn't ask for a better experience, and highly recommend Blue Ruby.

My husband and I stayed at this terrific B&B during a recent visit to Elizabeth City. From the minute we walked in until the time of our departure we were treated like "family". Patrick, our host, was accommodating and friendly. Our rooms were extremely clean and inviting. The breakfasts were tasty and made to perfection. An extra perk was meeting the resident fur baby, Lacey. I would highly recommend this be the place to stay if you are visiting this area....you will not be disappointed. If I could rate with more stars I would. We've already booked our next stay. Thanks to Patrick and Lacey for a great visit to your beautiful B&B!!!!

Beautiful property. Lovely rooms, good coffee, and breakfast. The owner is very welcoming. The house has really neat features. We stayed in the oldest part of the house. It's downstairs and a little separate from the rest of the house. Perfect if you have a younger child with you.

We had a wonderful time at the Blue Ruby. Room was spacious, bed comfy, and the bath towels large and soft. Great downtown location, quiet and easy walk to local restaurants, shops and waterfront. Patrick is a gracious and warm host, and he truly loves inviting guests to his Bed and Breakfast. His side kick Lacy is adorable and loves attention. Breakfast is delicious and the selection is wonderful. We will definitely stay here again on future travels.
