Enjoy an escape from the bustling central Outer Banks beach towns and plan a quiet respite in the scenic community of Manteo with a stay at the Scarborough Inn. Featuring just 14 rooms that are beautifully appointed with antiques and period furnishings, this charming and quiet inn may be adjacent to US Highway 64, but it feels like it’s miles away from the rest of the world, and – (with the exception of the modern amenities) - from another, slower-paced time in local history.
The hotel is just minutes away from the Nags Head beaches as well as the miles of undeveloped Cape Hatteras National Seashore coastline, and is also nicely close to historic Downtown Manteo, where a wealth of shops, cafes, restaurants, art galleries, and antique stores can all be found. The rooms are nicely accommodating, with free Wi-Fi, TVs with cable service, microwaves, mini-fridges and coffee makers, and complimentary continental breakfast is served daily in the main lobby area. After long days of exploring favorite Outer Banks sites like the North Carolina Aquarium and the Roanoke Island Festival Park, followed by quiet nights in a charming B&B-style setting, visitors will fall in love with life on the outskirts of the coast at the Scarborough Inn.
