we arrived a couple of days early for my niece's wedding, staying at the Inn to reduce being on the road during the wedding activities. What a great decision that was, as Laurie Eden and the Innkeeping staff made our stay most comfortable and relaxing everyday. Owners Steve and Sharon also visited periodically, making sure everyone felt at home and... More

We stayed at the Inn just last week in the Sea Oats room. What a lovely place! Yes, it is a little pricey, especially the dinners, but the warmth of the staff and the serene beauty of the Pamlico Sound make it a special place to visit. But for my husband and I, the best part of our stay was... More

We recently had our wedding here and could fill up several pages talking about how wonderful the Pamlico team was in making it the most perfect, fun filled days of our lives. The Inn is great, the staff is professional, the rooms are nice, Chef Forrest is A1 and the Inn locale, with all of its natural beauty, is superb.

This Inn has a wonderful balance of a boutique hotel and a bed and breakfast ... In addition to the beautiful surroundings, charming grounds, and lovely rooms, I felt welcomed and well cared for during my stay. Customer service with professionalism and a caring spirit made the stay worthwhile. The food prepared from fresh herbs grown on site was an... More

From the views, to the rooms, the staff, the food, the service. Not a detail was overlooked. I wanted for nothing! I felt as if the inn was my home, I roamed carefree & never felt out of place. I'll never stay anywhere else!!

This has set the bar. We were lucky to come across this place. We stayed in the primrose room. The attention to detail and the service was first class. The staff made our stay an Experience. We were sad to only be able to say a night and are already trying to figure out how to come back!

Ok, I much prefer bed and breakfast inns over hotels but most are a bit lean on the food side of the equation. Not the Inn on Pamlico Sound. The rooms are spacious and beautiful, clean with comfortable beds. Pool and facilities more than adequate. But a must do is dinner at their restaurant. I would rate this as one... More

In preparation for our upcoming wedding at the inn this coming October we spent the weekend to meet with Steve, the innkeeper, and Forrest, the Executive Chef. My fiancé and I were so pleased with everything in such a way that words can't even explain it. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, the rooms were beautifully decorated, the bed...

When we make our weekly visits to Hatteras Island we like to go out for a special dinner at least one night and always choose the Inn at Pamlico Sound. While more pricey than most other Hatteras Island restaurants, enjoying a meal at the Inn is well worth every penny. If you don't mind spending a little extra to have... More
