Quaint little inn with an outstanding restaurant!

Staff and servers were attentive and friendly, and everything was clean. The complimentary breakfast at the gourmet restaurant far exceeds any other hotel comp. breakfast. The setting on the Pamlico Sound is gorgeous with many decks to enjoy the scenery.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The rooms were a little small and outdated for the price.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...

Staff were fantastic and very helpful. Breakfast was a great start for the two days we were there. The bed was very clean and super comfortable! The small dock on the sound was a bonus, I was able to get a little fishing time in. We look forward to visiting this Inn again!

We had an unobstructed view of the sound. Our room was large, with a super comfortable king bed and a jetted tub. Breakfast was included and it was terrific- ordered from menu with lots of options and plenty of food. Pamlico Inn is outstanding!

Pamlico Paradise

Very much enjoyed our time - the Staff are awesome; food is very good and plentiful. Only one negative note: the walls and floors are thin, so depending on how busy and how lucky you get with neighbors, and your tolerance for human noise, this may affect your experience.
