Located in Corolla, 600 metres from Currituck Beach, Wild Horse Inn provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Guests can enjoy a meal at the restaurant or a drink at the bar and free WiFi is available. Excellent location - a short walk to the Currituck Lighthouse & Maritime Museum & several places to eat. Beds were very comfortable & A/C system is quiet enough so it won't keep you up all night. Breakfast was great. We didn't have a chance to have dinner, but if breakfast is any indication, I'm sure the food would be great too. Banana Dog Cafe (a food truck run by the owners daughter on premises) makes the BEST coffee. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. A short (4 mile or so) drive into town for more shops & restaurants.
