Thistle House Art
Most of the time the Eslers and the Novotnys are available for tours of Thistle House. During these tours we hear the oooh's and aaah's about the murals in the bathrooms and on the butler's pantry. We, also, are questioned about the needlework art  located throughout the house. Often our guests are amazed because we haven't included these things on the website.

Well, we are going to remedy that this month.  The incredible talents of Hudson resident, Wendy Griffith, and the needle work artist, our own Phyllis Esler, are a big part of what makes THISTLE HOUSE unique in the Bed & Breakfast community.

By the end of September, check back with us again, we hope to have this art work included in our gallery throughout the HOME, ARTS & GIFTS, and ROOMS pages.

Ceud Mile' Failte'
"One hundred thousand welcomes"

 
 'Ceud Mile' Failte' translates to "One Hundred Thousand Welcomes," and that’s what you’ll get when you stay at Thistle House Bed & Breakfast – and Wedding Place.
>From our peaceful, scenic setting in historic Granite Falls, nestled in the foothills of North Carolina’s famous Blue Ridge Mountains, to each of our beautifully appointed theme rooms, Thistle House is the embodiment of old-fashioned care and up-to-date accommodation.
All BandBs are not created equal, and if we do say so (although we mostly let our delighted guests speak for us, as you'll notice throughout our web site!), we pride ourselves on being a cut above.
Please don't take someone else's word for it, though - see for yourself. If you have never experienced the kind of stay that we’ve crafted into a uniquely enjoyable and memorable guest experience, you owe it to yourself to visit this outstanding North Carolina Bed and Breakfast.
Find out for yourself why our guests rave about our distinctive atmosphere and signature touches, like our famous breakfasts, and authentic and atmospheric artwork supplied by local talent like artist Wendy Griffith.
In truth, any photographs and even accolades you’ll see exhibited on our web site fall short of the in-person experience, where you’ll get far more than just a flavor of the attention and detail that awaits each of our guests.
No greater compliment can, we feel, be granted than the ones we get from so many  happy couples who have chosen our North Carolina bed and breakfast for – not simply a happy and eventful stay as guests – but as the place to get married and usher in their new lives. We leave no detail overlooked – even to the clergy, who carry our full faith and confidence.
 We constantly work to improve and enhance the guest experience, which is why we became known, after our first year, as The Wedding Place!
Each of our theme rooms speaks to a level of thought and care that is far beyond the scope of cookie-cutter motels, a magical and restful experience that guests come to cherish, and eagerly return to:
•        The House of Burnett Room, our largest and most elegant, a favorite for brides and honeymoon couples;
•        The Bell of the Borders Room, which evokes the luxurious elegance  of bygone days;
•        The Robert Burns Room, which blends casual with elegant, in rich colors and historic memorabilia;
•        The popular and newly refurbished St. Andrews Room, which imbues the bedroom with the feel of a cozy, restorative garden sanctuary, and offers our most luxurious (two-room!) bathroom.
For a taste of Scotland that’s sure to instill a craving for more, our Bed and Breakfast is a delightful, delicious, de-lovely experience that combines the ease and feel of home with the romance and relaxation of an Inn.
Come to North Carolina and indulge yourself, or rather – let us at the Thistle Bed and Breakfast inn indulge you. Whether traveling solo or with your soul mate, treat yourself by letting us treat you. Life is short. Pleasures to treasure are few. Indulge – let yourself be transported to a time of gracious living and accommodation, of romance and relaxation. That’s what we’re here for.
Make yourself at home on our web site, and when you have the urge, simply book yourself (or yourselves, as the case may be!) a room at rates that you can lock in prior to year-end.
Whatever you read and see, it’s even better in person. Especially the food, like our amazing breakfasts, which some have told us are so tasty that guests have requested to invite their local friends and relatives.
Because this happens so frequently, we have decided to open for breakfast only on Saturdays.
