The Cottage on Hancock - entire historic cottage

This private historic cottage (c. 1850) is located in the heart of historic downtown New Bern and steps away from shopping, dining, and the waterfront. The cottage was originally a law office and sits on the property of the historic Coor-Cook residence (c. 1790), listed on the New Bern Architectural Walking Tour.

Guests have access to the entire cottage- one bedroom with queen-size bed. Full bathroom. Eat-in kitchen. Separate living room. WiFi. Onsite parking for 1 vehicle.

PLEASE NOTE PRIOR TO BOOKING:

-The cottage is not wheelchair accessible. There are four brick steps outside the front door and no handrail (see photo of front door). Bathroom is also not wheelchair accessible due to size.
