Cute charming Manteo BnB conveniently...

Liked: Pretty and charming decor, nice chandeliers, comfortable bed, quality linens, cute antique furniture, nice landscaping with flowers all over, little waterfall pond, cute decorations. Beautiful porch for sitting. Gas fireplace in the room. Good breakfast, more food than you could eat. Great coffee machine. Spacious room, large bathroom. Great location for exploring Manteo and nearby barrier islands. Good restaurants nearby. Bicycles are available from the inn to roam around the neighborhood. Cookies in the lobby. Electric door locks prevent losing keys. Happy hour daily, for those who like wine and snacks, although we skipped it.
Disliked: Noise from the door of the adjacent kitchen, no soundproofing from kitchen work area. (Stayed in Garden room). Heard loud voices, clinking dishes every morning very early. Woke us up. Then when we lay down for an afternoon nap, similar experience as they prepared the happy hour snacks. Kind of annoying and inconvenient. We also were cold and didn't find out we could adjust the heat until a few days after we checked in as the control was not in the room but located behind a door marked "do not disturb". Would have been good to be informed of the location of the control upon check in. We also never got the promised wifi login info, although we didn't use it much and relied on cell service. Inn keepers never said hello in person or introduced themselves, which was very odd for us, having stayed in many bnbs worldwide. That always seems to be part of the bnb experience that makes it special vs a hotel. (although we got several text messages) . That just felt impersonal. I also saw a bug in the tub, a little silver-fish which made me avoid trying the big soaking tub that initially looked very appealing. Only saw one but figured if there is a baby bug, there must be more adults hidden. Didn't want to make a fuss and risk breathing toxic insecticide, so just used the shower instead.

Loved it!

Liked: Very comfortable, and a lovely room (Tower Suite). Very welcoming hosts and a fantastic breakfast!
Disliked: Location depends on what you want to achieve. Manteo is lovely, but a shortish drive to most things.

Superb

Liked: Friendly, clean, comfortable and great breakfast!

Lovely

Liked: THE BED, as well as having a unique charm, is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in - including my own at home ! We had the Roanoke room. The breakfasts were excellent. The location is an easy walk to the marina and a few restaurants. The wine and nibbles (included) in the late afternoon was a great way to meet and talk to other guests.
Disliked: It was a bit awkward to carry suitcases up to the third floor on a narrow staircase, it would not have suited anyone with mobility problems. However I’m sure the owners/staff would have carried anything if asked. There is also a ground floor room.

Our stay coukd not have...

Liked: Location; history; first floor suite with private entrance.
Disliked: Plumbing issue (leak from above); however, innkeeper was on top of it. Plumber had been there earlier during the week and it appeared everything was repaired.

Wonderful introduction to the Outer...

Liked: This was our first visit to the Outer Banks. The location of the Inn in Manteo is beautiful. Away from the hustle of the tourism in the area yet close enough to enjoy all the OBX has to offer.
