Scarborough Inn

I have NO CLUE why I did not review this place in 2011 when we visited! O_​_​o Shame on me.
Anyways, a friend has now asked me for suggestions on where to stay when visiting the OBX and I remembered how much we enjoyed our stay here.
We really liked the location, because it was very tranquil and central. We would have b-​fast nearby and then cross the channel into the OBX proper. The channel is about in the middle of the banks, so it was an equal distance to go to Corolla or to Ocracoke.
This is an old Inn, so if you don’t like antique furniture or the smell of old buildings don’t visit. I hate when ppl give reviews as ‘it smelled like my grandmas’. Uuuuhhhh, if a building is made of wood it will smell like old wood. Period. I love that smell and I enjoyed my stay very much. The room was VERY CLEAN and it served our purpose. We don’t ask for much in a room since we only use it for sleep. So the little TV was never used. I remember that the little window AC unit had a hard time keeping the room cold, but we were fine. We don’t need to sleep in a freezer :-)
We loved it, I would go back to the same INN if I was to visit again.

The best place on OBX! The location is very close to downtown of Manteo!!! The staff and housekeeping are so good! The atmosphere is very nice! You should definitely stay there!!!

Stayed here, the room was very comfortable and clean. The location is pretty good in Manteo. The rates are very reasonable compared to other places nearby. Beds are okay.
I would stay here again if I am in the area again.

An excellent value. This romantic inn is a real OBX find. Nicely located near one the the best OBX restaurants, and with a nice family restaurant across the street, its location is a plus. Room #16 is a romantic hide away. Rebbecca the proprietor is very pleasant.
