"The inside of the house, kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean. The main floor living, kitchen, and dining room were perfectly laid out and welcoming in decor and design. We greatly enjoyed the outside deck seating for breakfasts. The only issue our family had were that the mattresses were slightly uncomfortable. Overall, we recommend this place and would stay here again."

This is a well placed hotel with access straight onto the beach. We requested, and got, a room with direct beach access and a constant view of the spectacular dolphins, usually evenings and mornings, and constant seabird activity of the pelicans and gannets fishing for small sprats I guess. Room cleaning staff are incredible, and the breakfast cafe was scrupulously clean with a terrific selection of breakfast items, the highlight for us being the really efficient waffle makers.

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.

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.

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'...

Nice hotel with very comfortable bed and good shower.
Single use plates / cutlery / cups at breakfast which seems environmentally irresponsible, though at least the plates were paper and not polystyrene and there were recycling facilities.
