Lovely little gem of an Inn. Very scenic. The folks here are top knotch and very helpful. The restaurant is superb! Rustic but all the little nuances make it high quality and a place to visit any time of year. 10 out of 10!

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.

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.

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!
