Beautiful Inn

This was my first experience staying at a B&B and it was awesome! Lee was a gracious host and is very knowledgeable of the area. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. I enjoyed the Koi pond and got to pet the fish! I will definitely stay again when I go back that way.

Would stay again!

Great stay at Roanoke Island Inn! Service was amazing and loved that they give you complimentary water bottles and snacks/beverages to make the stay that much nicer. The room was very clean and the AC unit worked great. The location is so nice with a very short walk to numerous shops and restaurants. Would definitively stay here again!

Beautiful!

We stayed here for 3 nights as part of a longer trip to the USA. What a beautiful location & place! We were lucky to have a room which looked out onto the lighthouse. We loved the spacious room & the old furniture, it was all very fitting for the location. It was lovely to sit & read in the veranda rockers in the warm afternoons after a busy day out! The level of hospitality was excellent from the housekeepers & we liked being able to help ourselves to breakfast & drinks from the 'help yourself' kitchen which was all very relaxed & convenient. The hotel is a short walk away from the boardwalk & shops although there wasn't much open when we were there as I think the main tourist season was over. Its a short drive over to Nags Head beach & the Wright Bros memorial which we visited on a couple of days. We hadn't realised that Roanoke itself was the site of the very first settlers landing so visiting the Fort & excellent visitor centre was an unexpected pleasure.

Exceptional Roanoke accommodation.

This was an exceptionally friendly hotel that catered for all our needs. Breakfast was substantial and treats/soft drinks/coffee and fruit available 24 hours at no extra cost. Location perfect and room was spacious with a large bed. Staff had excellent knowledge of the area. One difference to your description, this hotel does not have a swimming pool

When we booked this stay we had no idea what to expect. What we saw far exceeded any expectations! This is historic building, yet it is impeccably maintained. The location is just across the marsh, boardwalk and historic lighthouse. The views are amazing. The garden has koi pond and a gazebo. It is very quiet and peaceful place, yet in walking distance to the marina, Festival island and downtown Manteo (“t” is silent, so it is actually pronounced “Man-eo”) The beds we’re comfortable, bathrooms were clean and breakfast was served in charming kitchen. Living room has comfy seating. Check out the second floor terrace - for rocking chairs and water views. The inn was featured in the “Outerlore” - a series of ghost stories about Roanoke island. We wanted to see an apparition, but alas, nothing disturbed our sleep in our quiet room. We would like to thank our host- innkeeper Megan for her great knowledge of the area and taking good care of us!

A hidden gem in Roanoke

We visited the Outer Banks for Spring Break. Stayed here for the last two nights. For trips going towards Hatteras, this is a must stay. Good location, historic island and lovely accommodations. The rooms were a nice size, with the bathroom in the middle. Very clean, nice towels (liked the different color face 'makeup' towel so as not to confuse it with other wash cloths, and comfy beds. Our son had his own adjoining room, which gave everyone privacy. Convenient location, access to mini-fridges in common area and the continental breakfast was enough to get us going. Owner called me early to let us know room was ready and he gave us a good dinner recommendation. Also interacted with another guy who gave us good directions for historic sites and other tips. A really nice, relaxing, quiet stay. The Inn is part of a small compound with a cottage and expansive enclosed green space with a gazebo. A perfect place for a lazy, summer visit. Thinking about returning then. Thank you for a great stay - enjoyed it!
