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'...

We had a very nice stay, the Inn is in a nice location, has a great restaurant and the rooms were very clean.

Clint the owner greeted us and made us feel special. He and his team truly knows the meaning of hospitality. We had two rooms for the four of us. Both were superb. We also had a tour of the other rooms and all were beautiful. I work in high end hospitality and this place is fabulous. Clint also gave us some really good tips on where to dine. Spot on. Anyone visiting the Manteo area should book this place. A gem for sure. The attention to detail in each room is sublime.

What amazing hosts they were truly brilliant and couldn’t do enough for us helping out and going beyond expectations. You would not find nicer people and the room was lovely in a great location. Also great to have Amazon prime and other channels available and good WiFi.

As always, excellent, however a cockroach was seen exiting the air conditioner. Maybe an exterminator needed. Aside from that, everything else was good.

The First Colony Inn is a lovely old property in a great location for visiting the Outer Banks. Our room was spacious, clean and well appointed. Buffet breakfast choices were very good and the hot option varied each day. There's a wonderful beach opposite the inn and a good selection of restaurants and shops nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

Excellent hotel, would definitely stay again, highly recommend.

Friendly check in, we had a suite but disappointing that although full kitchen there is no dining table & chairs. There is a small sofa with small table tray and a pull out table on wheels with computer chair, so eating a meal tricky. No easy chairs either. Wish i had just booked a standard room. Breakfast not to my taste To get to beach you have to cross a road and obtain access via their swimming pool and boardwalk.

Hotel was excellent, but out of season not many places to eat. Beautiful location almost on the beach.

What a delightful stay in this small Inn tucked away in a natural forest.. the Inn was full of artefacts and antiques collected over the years. Such a peaceful place to stay with gorgeous views of the bay from the porch. Linda and Ron were perfect hosts. They even fed the wild deer for us so we were able to see the wildlife close up. Thanks for a lovely stay
