Carisbrooke Inn

Warm, clean, roomy, good food, no complaints. Very enjoyable

My recent stay at the Carisbrooke Inn was short but pleasant. While the Inn is not in the newest, most modern condition, it is charming, with all of my needs addressed, and very friendly owners. I really enjoyed the house dogs and the breakfast was excellent. The only downfall was being woken up early by the roofers working on a nearby home. I would definitely stay at this Inn again.

My husband and I stayed at the Inn through Labor Day Weekend. I have stayed at the Carisbrooke Inn many many times and have stayed in some of the largest rooms but because we waited too long to book we stayed in a smaller room and found it to be adorable, clean, cool and on the first floor right next to the cookies (an added attraction). This room was definitely up to the usual standards that we have come to enjoy at the Carisbrooke. When we returned home I decided to get a new bed because our bed is not nearly as comfortable as the beds at the Carisbrooke. We spent some time sleeping on the deck this time around because the breeze from the ocean was so great after our long walks along the Boardwalk and back with some stops at the casinos. Glad we stayed at the Inn again and will definitely be back.

We stayed at the Carisbrooke Inn over the Labor Day weekend and we were generally very satisfied with our experience. The location is excellent, only a few hundred feet to the boardwalk. There a couple of decent restaurants right around the corner and a liquor store on the corner. The food at breakfast was very good. The room was clean and in good condition. The air conditioning, ceiling fan and flatscreen TV were all in good working order and much appreciated. The deck was a nice place to relax and read while enjoying the ocean breeze. The bed was probably the biggest disappoint for us. It was a bit small and too soft. The bathroom was also extremely small. The shower reminded me of a boat.

Thank you for taking time to write a review. We are very happy you generally enjoyed your stay with us. I am also sorry you had some dissapointments. All of our beds are either queen or king sized. In the room you chose the bed is a queen. We do mention the bed size on our web site and this should have also been displayed if you booked online. If you used a 3rd party booking site we can not guarantee they will provide fully accurate descriptions. Beds are very personal things. I'm sorry you found this one too soft. Most guests find our beds extremely comfortable so we have kept this level of firmness based on customer feedback whenever we replace our beds. The bathroom in the room you stayed is very small. In these old houses when bathrooms were added sometimes they needed to economize on space. The shower is a standard sized stall shower for a home but I can see how it might feel smaller. We do have pictures of the bathrooms on our website so hopefully people are able to see they are smaller when they are booking. We do have several other room options with much larger bathrooms for people who need or desire more space. Again thank you for taking the time to write a review. We hope you will consider visiting us again and perhaps one of our larger rooms will be a better fit for you.

Wonderful experience in every way. Every detail is perfected.

My boyfriend and I loved our stay at Carisbrooke Inn! Can't wait to go back!

The Carisbrooke Inn is located right on the shore and within a long walking distance to Atlantic City right on the boardwork. The Inn was quiet, very clean and the hosts were great. The breakfast was very, very good. Tasty homemade french toasts and muffins.

The inn was very nice. Our room had a good view of the ocean and was spotless. Only bad part was a motel next store that hurt the atmosphere a bit.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Carisbrooke Inn. The innkeeper was warm and friendly and there was a special coziness to the inn that was charming and welcoming from the moment you stepped foot in the door. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. We were happy to have chosen the Carisbrooke Inn for our stay and will most likely use the inn again for future getaways.

The Carisbrooke Inn is an absolutely beautiful place to stay. The rooms were neat and clean and the whole place was elegant. Highly recommended.

We had a fabulous time. The beds were luxurious. The bathrooms were immaculate and new. The food was first class and the setting was perfect for our gathering. Thank you. Outside activities: We had a lovely dinner at Angelo's, minutes away. We walked the boardwalk and enjoyed the beach. We finished the the day at the casinos for dinner before returning home. A terrific alternative to a casino stay. My conference experiences are changed forever for the better!

Never been to Atlantic City before, would love to return sometime. Only 2 miles south of casinos, 1 block from beach/boardwalk. Local neighborhood, bike rentals, restaurants. Loved Sid the dog (we are dog lovers). Excellent breakfast, cookies. Very comfortable bed. What more could you ask ? Rates were very reasonable. We highly recommend this place !!

Everything about the Carisbrooke was perfect. It was steps from the beach, which was quiet and serene; yet we could be in the middle of the AC nighlife within 10 minutes (a cab ride back was only $15 as well!) Our room was beautiful, extremely clean, and so comfortable. Breakfast was incredible. Could not have asked for anything more and we look forward to returning next year!

We recently spent a few days at the Carisbrooke Inn. The service was great, the room nice, the food was good, and the view from the deck was wonderful. Being off season, the rate easily fit into our budget. We got the lowest price room and the bathroom was very small, but the value and service given trumped the size of the bathroom. We would definitely go back to The Carisbrooke Inn.

We spent a wonderful five days at the Carisbrooke Inn. This was the first time at a B&B for us and hope to go back many more times. The room was very nice and had a spa bathroom. The breakfast was different each day with wonderful blueberry pancakes, waffles, omelets and homemade sausage. The hosts were very attentive. The B&B is only 1/2 block from the ocean and can be viewed from the deck. Sid the dog was also a great host to my guidedog. He had a ball!

Charming B&B, great rooms, delicious breakfast, freshly baked cookies and fruit thoughout the day and happy hour snacks. Every detail is covered.

My wife and I have stayed at The Carisbrooke Inn many times, and we will keep going back. The owner and staff at The Carisbrooke make you feel welcome and relaxed. The rooms are very clean, nicely decorated in a Victorian style and the beds are really comfortable. Mornings at The Carisbrooke are my favorite time, when you get a delicious breakfast. At my stay in August, 2010 for 3 days, I had french toast (Day 1),waffles (Day 2) and a spinach-feta cheese omelet (Day 3). Get away from the stress at home and spend a few days at the beach in Ventnor.

This is a wonderful place to stay for a relaxing vacation. Being able to sit on the beach during the day and walk the boards or travel to the casinos at night is great. The Inn is surrounded with a warm and friendly atmosphere serving a fantastic breakfast every morning and 5:00 p.m. snacks and drinks in the afternoon. The very friendly and hospitable staff make the Carisbrooke Inn a place to return time and time again. Jean Reinert

Things have changed. Not as friendly & and breakfast not as spectacular. The young helpers/cleaners are friendly but that's about it...

It seems this reviewer has stayed with us before and I am especially interested in better understanding why they felt the service has gone down since a prior visit. I hope the reviewer will contact me directly at the main e-mail for the inn and let me know specifically what made them think this. It is our goal to make every guest experience the best it can be. We certainly do not want to be unfriendly so if I or any of my staff presented themselves that way I am very sorry. I hope this guest will give us an opportunity to try again. Please contact us so we can fix this for you.

Old time charm of a victorian villa. Staff extremely friendly. Breakfasts had a homemade taste (especially the blueberry pancakes) Accomadations were very clean and up to date. Close to beach with beach chairs supplied. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will certainly return.

It was perfect for us. We had the room with the view of the Ocean! It was quiet, the food was excellent. Best bed we ever slept in. I could go on and on....The flat screen HD TV was so nice I could not get my boyfriend away from it.

It was my first time at the Carisbrooke Inn. My partner and I were looking for a romantic place to stay in Atlantic City that was near the casinos but without being right in the middle of the hustle and bustle. We found that at the Carisbrooke Inn. The room (#9) was fantastic; wall of windows and and amazing bathroom with steam shower. Apart from the great room, what struck me the most was the amenities and service. There was full breakfast served, beach towels/chairs, drinks and snacks throughout the day, etc. The staff was courteous and went out of there way to make sure my stay was enjoyable. We booked a package (helicopter ride and dinner at Morton's with a personal driver) that topped of the weekend. I also enjoyed the atmosphere that was conducive to chatting with other guests. Meet some nice folk. The establishment was LGBT-friendly. The casinos were about a mile away; which was a nice walk on the boardwalk.

The Carisbrooke Inn is a wonderful bed-and-breakfast. The management is accessible, hospitable and very helpful. The rooms are nicely appointed, clean and pleasant. I could check my e-mail on the computer in the lobby. Breakfast was delicious, and prepared a bit earlier than usual at my request.

Very good inn, service and breakfast. Good location too! A quick drive (or long walk) to AC.

Our stay at the Carisbrooke Inn was absolutely AMAZING. We were there March 21st to the 23rd and we were completely blown away by the quality of the food, service and atmosphere. The bed we slept in was unbelievably comfortable, in fact twice we laid down to watch a little television before heading out on the town and BOTH times we were asleep instantly due to the comfort of the bed. The service was unbelievable. We were the only ones in the house as we decided to go midweek, and the staff was unobtrusive and yet readily available. Their dog Sid was such a joy as well. It rained pretty much the whole time we were there and thankfully they made sure we were equipped with an umbrella. We had the option of using a private back door entrance or the front door. Our room came equipped with a sitting porch where we took coffee in the early evening and relaxed. At 5 o'clock the cocktail hour with a very fine wine and amazing assortment of cheeses and vegetables was wonderful. And breakfast - there are no words to describe how incredible the fresh baked breads and homemade sausage were. What a wonderful way to start off the day! As we were there for our honeymoon, we hope to celebrate our anniversaries there as well!

The Carisbrook was a comfortable stay, nice place, rooms are pretty, cozy, and clean and fresh. The hostess very pleasant and accommodating and a wonderful cook. It's conveniently located about 10 min from the hustle and bustle of AC. I'd reccommend to anyone. We enjoyed our stay.

John and staff will pamper you and ensure you enjoy yourself! Skip the cold, boring casino hotels and experience the warmth of the Carisbrooke! A slice of heaven just off the boardwalk!

The room was very nice with a partial view of the Ocean. There were always snacks and refreshments available. The breakfast of homemade blueberry pancakes and fruit cup were light yet filling enough to get us started in the morning. The hostess was extremely warm, friendly and helpful. Her recommendations of the local restaurants were precise. My advise is to stay away from the strip for dinner and enjoy the local offerings where you can enjoy a fabulous dinner while being in a warmer, friendlier atmosphere.

We are locals who like to get away from it all every now and then. We had stayed at another B & B in Ocean City for our honeymoon 3 years ago and we thought that place was the best, wrong, The Carisbrooke is right up there at the top! Everything was wonderfull.

I was recommended to stay at the Carisbrooke and it exceeded my expectations. From the comfort and cleanliness of the charming rooms ( I stayed in Room 10 with a view of the Ocean) to the really excellent breakfasts, continual all-day supply of home made cookies, fruit, bottled water, plus the use of a fridge, microwave, small library, and porch. It all made for a really wonderful stay. The Happy Hour at 5pm allowed everyone the option to come back together and talk about their day. John the attentive and brilliant innkeeper (and his great hardworking staff) provided a hot snack, cheese,wine and soft drinks for this 'happy hour' and it was all wonderfully done. I can really highly recommend it. It sits next to the Ocean - and once you have stayed you will visit - as I will - again and again. Well done to the Carisbrooke. Thank you. Janet

This place was 100% enjoyable from check-in to check-out, exceeded our expectations and was exactly what the relaxation doctor ordered! We'll be back ASAP! Linda, Voorhees, NJ

My husband and I are frequent visiters at the Carisbrooke Inn but this is our first summer stay. We both had a great time and as usual the Inn was wonderful and John is just the best Innkeeper. He is very knowledgable about the area and most accommodating. The beach was just beautiful and the breakfasts fabulous. Our room was perfect.

The Carisbrooke Inn Bed and Breakfast spoke to us when we entered the front door and we knew we had to stay. John showed us the rooms and we fell in love with the upstairs room overlooking the ocean. For two nights, they pampered us and made us feel very welcome. Thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts and the other guests we met. Oh and the steam shower - WOW!!!

WOW! What a fabulous time we had this past Father’s Day weekend! .....Not to mention... we are still basking in the “afterglow” of one of the best “Mini Getaways” we have ever had together! John and the wonderful staff made our “Sky’s the Limit” Package...one to always remember and we highly recommend this “treat” to all couples who want to spice things up in the relationship on a huge and luxuriously romantic level! We were extremely honoured to be the “first” to try this wonderful package special..and for the price it is certainly a “STEEL”!!! From the Luxury Car service to each venue...to the wonderful Pilot on the Helicopter ride over the Coastline...to the grand finale at Morton’s Steakhouse...we felt like “Celebrities” throughout this entire excursion.... Then to top everything off! To have the most wonderful “homemade” breakfasts after a fabulous night’s rest in the most romantic spa room with it's own private terrace...Room 2... Well...Let’s just say....the Carisbrooke Inn has become one of our Favorites for anytime we need that special mini-vacation for a romantic and luxurious fun filled experience at a great price! Thank you John for your endless hospitality and patience... Thank you Agnes for your wonderful breakfasts and hospitality.. Thank you Kate...for your beautiful smile, and gracious way of making us feel welcome! God Bless you all! We’ll see you real soon....and that’s a guarantee! Crystal and Edwin Clyne

This was our third year to visit the Carisbrooke Inn. The accomodations, hospitality and services continue to be consistent and exceptional. The rooms are comfy and have wonderful amenities in the bathrooms. The owner is courteous, helpful, friendly and considerate of the vacation time of the guests. He provides exceptional!! breakfasts, beach towels, chairs, tags, use of a frig, evening apps and hires pleasant professional staff. I now tell everyone about it and will go back for many years to come.

On a windy night in the middle of May, we found refuge at this beautiful seashore inn. We were welcomed into the foyer and led to the large parlour for refreshments. With treats in hand, we chose to sit by the wall of windows and casually thumb through the selection of magazines and books. As the light faded, dinner became the topic. We could go toward the glitzy lights of the casinos, or head toward Margate and the restaurants there. Once settled back at the Carisbrooke Inn, we climbed to the third floor beautifully appointed room #9. Here, we had our own wall of windows from where we could watch the wind-tossed sea. Warm and cozy were we, protected from the wind and the rain. Our luxurious sleep was followed by a delicious breakfast of blueberry pancakes. So much effort has been put into blending the charm of the original house with modern conveniences, the effect is seamless. A special point must be made about the beautiful tiles and design of the steam shower in the private bathroom. We are happy to have been able to experience this lovely B&B when the weather was less than perfect, her attributes shone even without the sun.

My partner and I were very impressed with EVERYTHING at the Carisbrooke Inn. There was always delicious food around for the taking, a great selection of DVD's for rental and a lovely Inn dog to make the stay extra-special. John, the innkeeper, was also wonderful.

visited overnight, John and Agnes could not have been nicer. the room was large and bright and the bed was most comfortable. breakfast was delicious, all homemade ingredients. But best of all, was Sid the lab puppy. He is a delight. The inn feels like home as soon as you walk through the door. We will definitely make a return visit in summer. I have stayed at many B&Bs and this is one of the best. thanks for your hospitality.

We spent Valentine's night at the inn in room # 8 which was decorated in pretty red tones, had an electric fireplace and a huge bathroom. It was spotless, as was the whole inn. John the Innkeeper and his staff are welcoming and accommodating. A++

I did not expect much at a B&B. The Carisbrooke Inn exceeded everything I had expected. The rooms were spotless, the "feel" of the place was marvelous and most comfortable, and the breakfasts were delicious. The staff was terrific as well as John Batista who was so helpful in anything that needed to be done. If you have the chance, go to this place and enjoy the beautiful ocean and Inn itself. A terrific get-away!

Very cozy, charming inn; everything was spotless. Bed was very comfortable; whirlpool tub was fabulous. The scones and blueberry pancakes were the best I've ever had! Would definitely go back.

My husband and I stayed in Carisbrooke Inn on Memorial Day weekend and the whole stay exceeded my expectations. Breakfast was wonderful and the room service was great! They cleaned the room mid afternoon while we were out and about. I would recommend this B&B to anyone staying in A.C. to get away from all the riff raff of downtown.

a super clean tastefully decorated inn.minutes from atlantic city, yet far enough to enjoy a deep sense of serenity and peace.top gourmet breakfast, fresh ingredients, all homemade.
