Being early March, it was 55 degrees on day 1 and 69 on day 3. Being from Vermont, any day is a good day to sit at the end of a pier watching the sun rise and/ or set with a coffee/ beer in hand. The restaurant was excellent, with complementary breakfast, and dinner service available.

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.

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.

A perfect place to get away

Views are incredible. Service is even better. We loved every bit of this location. This is the perfect spot for couples, girls trip, peace and wellness. Whatever your looking for they have it. The staff is so friendly and warm. Breakfast was great and included in the room. Cannot say enough great things about the inn at Pamlico.
