This place is so beautiful and unique. We had a great experience with Lee, who told us all about places to go and things to see. They had snacks and breakfast and it was just a wonderful experience.

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!

Lovely place to stay. Location to downtown Manteo is ideal. All the lovely shops and restaurants are in walking distance. Our room was great. Only negative was that the front of the heating/ac unit came off in the room. Staff said it was on the list for repair. Loved the convenient beverages and snacks. Breakfast was good. A beautiful place to stay. Pam was battling a cold when we arrived so we spoke more to Lee and Suzanne while we stayed there. Very friendly and informative about the area.

We absolutely loved this hotel!! It is right in the heart of the town and within walking distance to everything. What a delight Pamela, the manager, was to speak with!! She knew everything there was to know about the island and was also quite funny. The Inn provided breakfast every morning, snacks, water etc. They also had complementary bikes to ride around.

Wonderful, quaint inn. The guest lounge had a kitchen with coffee, pastries, bread, yogurt, hardboiled eggs, coffee, tea, juice, soda, cookies, cereal, and more. There's a large library and comfortable seating. The grounds are lovely, with seating, even a covered area, and adorned with a beautiful koi pond that once belonged to Andy Griffith, who lived on the island. Most of all, Pam, the manager, was a total delight. Attentive, gregarious, funny, and sensitive to all our needs, the experience would not have been the same without her. The Inn is a destination. We'll be back.

We love it!
We loved our stay at the Roanoke Island Inn this past week! It truly felt relaxing and serene. It was an oasis in the middle of the Outer Banks. I really appreciated that Pam called us to let us know that our room was ready early and that we could check-in as soon as we were ready. Our room was really comfortable. The grounds were lovely. We liked being able to walk to Manteo. We can't wait to stay there again!

The Quiet Retreat We Needed!
My fiancé and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Roanoke Island Inn! It was our spring break (as educators) and we were is desperate need of a proper getaway. The location of the inn cannot be beat! We visited the local historic locations and took advantage of the broadwalk directly in front of the inn to explore Downtown Manteo. We will definitely come back and have already shared our experience with our friends and family.

A piece of heaven
Where to begin? The view? The landscape? The quiet? This was a tremendous experience. I’ve visited Manteo before, but I’ve never experienced it like this. This place has a magic to it. It has the ability to heal wounds, to rekindle love, and give a sweet reminder that life is precious and should be cherished. I want to return to this place and pray it continues to prove how beautiful life truly is when you take the time to slow down and appreciate it. What a wonderful treasure this place is.

The property was in such a beautiful place, right across from the water. The gardens were manicured perfectly and were also natural at the same time.
