What guests think

Reviews of The Inn on Pamlico Sound highlight a scenic waterfront setting with beautiful Pamlico Sound views, consistently friendly staff, and an on site restaurant that many guests consider exceptional.

Rooms are generally comfortable, with some spacious options and features like jetted tubs and quiet AC, but a few feel dated or small and there are isolated reports of thin walls, a creaky bed, or an unusable sofa bed. Cleanliness is usually praised, and the property’s extras such as scenic decks, a small dock, gardens, parking, and EV chargers add convenience. The cooked to order breakfast is widely praised, though one review noted a short delay one morning. Expect a relaxing stay with excellent food and welcoming hospitality.

Room was ok not the cleanest ( but building is older so maybe that has something to do with it) they have packed a restaurant, pool, local events and hotel in a small area. Staff was very friendly, good cookies and very greatful for snacks in room upon arrival. For the area it was probably good.

Very clean room. Quiet air conditioning felt great at night in the middle of the hot and humid summer. Big very comfortable bed. Extremely convenient high quality restaurant with great food at this inn. We enjoyed every meal with a great variety of choices. Friendly attentive and efficient staff. Lots of small welcoming touches like morning coffee in the lobby and afternoon cookies. On-site EV charging; very important for our vehicle eliminating range anxiety. Absolutely beautiful view overlooking Pamlico sound with spectacular sunsets. Highly recommend!

The staff is super nice, the rooms were by far and away the cleanest of any hotel or B&B I’ve ever stayed at, and the food at the restaurant was more than worth the price. True chef in the kitchen while still putting enough food on the plate to fill you up each time. WILL be staying there again!

The hideabed was not as advertised. It had a piece of plywood under the paper thin mattress and nobody could sleep on it. It was extremely uncomfortable with no cushion. It shouldn’t be advertised as something that can be slept on.

The rooms were a little small and outdated for the price. Paying top dollar - granted the expectations were a little on the high side for bathroom, amenities, area in general, service. May still be the best in the area but don't expect the type of value you would typically expect for this price. The bed for example made huge creaking noises whenever you made a small move which made sleeping a little more difficult...

We loved our three days at The Pamlico Inn. The staff could not have been more helpful. Breakfast sitting outside overloooking the Pamlico Sound was very special and we got a great ‘grab and go’ breakfast when we had to leave early on the Friday morning! The location of The Pamlico Inn makes it easy to access Hatteras Seashore and Ocracoke both of which are very beautiful. We’ll return to England with lots of lovely memories and hope to come back and visit again.
