Channel Bass Inn

Chincoteague, Virginia.

A world of peaceful elegance surrounds you when you enter the Channel Bass Inn. Originally built as a private home in 1892, the Inn was converted to a small hotel in the 1920s. Today it offers a wonderful respite to travelers from all over the world.

Bed and Breakfast Description

This Chincoteague B&B landmark has six beautifully furnished, air conditioned rooms, including one suite, each with private bathroom. The rooms are spacious and peaceful, most with king or queen size triple-sheeted beds, and have comfortable sitting areas for reading and relaxing. The waters of Virginia's Chincoteague Bay can be seen from some of the rooms.

The Inn also has a public Tea Room where a traditional English afternoon tea can be enjoyed by both residents of the Inn and visitors to Chincoteague. The Channel Bass Inn has been awarded a 3-star rating by Mobil.

The beautiful island of Assateague is just minutes away - you may borrow one of our bikes, or drive. The beach is unspoiled - there is nothing to buy - it's just you and your blanket!

One can enjoy the unspoiled beach of the National Seashore, or spend hours biking, hiking and kayaking on the beautiful Wildlife Refuge, where the wild horses roam.

After a wonderful day outdoors, one can browse through the many shops and boutiques on Chincoteague, and enjoy a leisurely seafood meal at one of the fine restaurants on the Island. Those Chincoteague oysters are a favourite with visitors and natives alike!

For wine lovers, a nearby vineyard offers winetasting of locally produced wines and delectable fine chocolates!

Afternoon tea is served at the Channel Bass Inn Tea Room five times a week, usually. Barbara's scones are outstanding - a four-course afternoon tea costs $17.50 per person. Inn guests enjoy a special rate of $9.00.
