Carisbrooke Inn

I stayed here with my dog on 4÷27−4÷28÷16. What a wonderful place to be! I was looking for somewhere very close to the beach to stay with my dog. Found this place on
. They have 1 room at the Inn that is dog-​friendly. And, I have nothing but good things to say about this place… from the helpful and accommodating staff… to the lovely room… to the great location… to the fabulous price!
The room has a kitchenette with a full-​size refrigerator, microwave, stove, sink, and cooking utensils. Also has 2 small sitting areas, and the peaceful bedroom. The place was very nicely decorated and «beachy»!!
There ended up being a leak in my bathroom, and the mgr came over within moments to assess the situation. He came up with a solution to get us through the evening, until he could fully fix the problem the next day. He was very nice and apologetic. But, really… was no problem to deal with at all.
The breakfast was delicious and beautifully plated! The common room is a very relaxing and lovely atmosphere. They even offer free bottles of water and cookies/​fruit/​coffee/​tea throughout the day.
Will definitely be back to stay here again!

The guy I’m seeing is a teacher and was off for spring break, so I took him on a little trip here. The weather was colder than had been forecast, but we still had an amazing time. We spent some time on the beach near Boardwalk Hall, then checked in at the Inn around 4-​ish. We soon found out we were staying in a near-​empty inn, since it was off season. There was only 1 other guest besides us. Bonus!!!
Parking was tricky, but that issue was solved when the innkeeper very kindly gave us a parking pass, to park in their special lot one street over.
We were impressed right off the bat with how lovely the inside was. Our room was small, but that was fine, as I’d gotten a really good deal through
. I mean, like half price off the room. I was so happy with the price. We actually didn’t see much outside of the room for quite a few hours, if you know what I mean :)
The bathroom was detached, but it was right across the hall, and private (we had our own key), which was nice. They provided fluffy white bathrobes for us, which was a really nice touch.
We finally got hungry and decided to venture out for food. We ate a great meal at the Vagabond, then headed to the casinos to just check out Atlantic City – neither of us had been before. We went to the Borgata. I loaned my guy $ 30 to gamble with at Blackjack. On his 2^nd hand, he got «21» and won $ 37.50! He gave me my original $ 30 back, and we used the $ 7.50 for tolls lol We both know when to stop – when you’re ahead :)
Then we went back to the Inn and took a walk on the beach. The beach is so close, which is nice. The moon was full, and we had a little romance on the beach, then headed back to the inn.
The next morning, there was delicious coffee, coffee cake, orange juice, and fruit. we ordered what we wanted for breakfast, and had eggs, bacon, and toast. We were reluctant to head back to Philly, but we both had things to do.
We were sad to leave, but we will definitely be back!

This is my first experience ever with a Bed and Breakfast and it was quite great! As soon as we walked into the foyer, the house felt warm and cozy. We stayed here as a more affordable option to the big casino’s for new years eve. The location is very easy to find, in the summer it must be great to be literally half a block from the beach.
We stayed in the first floor, room #3, which was a smaller room right when you walk in. I don’t suggest getting this room if you are a light sleeper, since you do hear everything happening in the living room that is adjacent to the room. Luckily for us, we sleep through almost anything. The bed was very comfy, we had a nice sized tv inside and had all the amenities of a hotel room available. Although the fridge and ice were outside the room, it wasn’t a big deal.
The personal touches of the Carisbrooke that I loved was how they gave out champagne, cheese and snacks upon arrival. They also had free water, soda and juice and brownies and fruit available. As for the next morning, it was a gourmet breakfast menu we got to pick from pancakes, omlettes and all that.
The one major downfall is that they have no parking. There is street parking available nearby, but it is still a walk and not knowing the area, we would’ve preferred to have the car up front. The wifi also is really bad all over the place. The jitney bus service is nearby, a few blocks away to get to the casinos for cheap ($ 2 pp!) as well which is great.
Overall, I would definitely return, espcially during warm weather months to enjoy being this close to the beach.

My fiancé and I just spent two nights at the Carisbrooke Inn — overall, it was a pleasant enough experience. I have stayed at a number of B&B’s over the years, and this one was middle of the road for us.
The pros: Very close to the beach, Ventnor City beach is very nice, walking distance (about 1.5 miles) to casinos, the Inn was very clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and there was a good breakfast selection.
The cons: Breakfast was OK — potatoes were a little undercooked the first day, and my eggs were overcooked. The second day, the middle of my vegetarian sausage patties were still cold, but I did enjoy the french toast and fresh fruit. My fiancé enjoyed her french toast the first morning, but felt the pancakes the second day were bland. Coffee was eh.
I recognize that this is out of the control of the Inn owners, but the view and surrounding block of the B&B leaves a lot to be desired. The view is cramped by buildings, parking is very limited, and there is construction occurring next to the Inn — so it’s not the most relaxing or aesthetically pleasing area.
My only other comments are that the room we stayed in only had one mirror (in the bathroom) and it is very small — we would have really liked to have had a second mirror in the room so that more than one person can get ready at a time — especially a full length mirror. Additionally, the room had large closets, but no hangers to use! Sheets and towels are not high quality, I’m used to B&B’s offering higher quality amenities in the rooms. We stayed in the carriage house across the street, so maybe the rooms are a bit nicer in the main home?
For the price and relatively short drive from our home, we would consider staying at the Carisbrooke Inn again, if one of our other favorite places to stay were already booked.

We bought a Living Social deal for a one night stay here. We were very pleased for the $ we paid ($ 72), but probably would have been disappointed if we’d paid full price. The room is very small, but clean and well appointed. The bed was very comfortable, but the bathroom was probably the smallest I’ve ever been in. Not easy to maneuver in. The owner, John, was very nice and helpful, and the homemade breakfast was delicious.

Me and my boyfriend stayed at the inn in September 2014. We found it on a Groupon deal, and it was much less expensive then the hotels, so we decided to try it out. We had both never stayed at a bed and breakfast so we didn’t know what to expect.
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We were staying Friday thru Sunday, but weren’t able to take off of work Friday. Driving from Long Island to AC, we weren’t going to get there until 8 or 9. The manager (possibly the owner, he seemed to be running everything) was able to set us up for self check in, and he gave us great instructions to find our room and where we could park. The immediate area around the B&B was under construction, but didn’t hinder anything. The blocks right on the water were nice, but if you walked a couple of blocks in land the area was a little run down. But considering the situation in AC right now with all those casinos closing, it was to be expected in a way. This is no fault of the B&B, they kept the home nice and clean and it was a nice place to stay.
We stayed at the second house, not the main house. I forget out room number but I believe it was called the «sandpiper» room. The room was small, but cozy. We really felt like it was staying in someone’s guest room, which was nice. They set up all these snacks and drinks for free, which was awesome. My one complaint about the room as that it didn’t have a full length mirror, just a small vanity in the bathroom. I told the manager and he said he was going to be putting up a mirror. He offered to get me one, but I told him not to worry about it. But he was very nice to offer. We had breakfast at the main house the next morning and it was delicious, and they had a good selection.
The place is right on the beach, which is beautiful. We were able to walk up and down the boardwalk and we had such beautiful weather, too cold for the beach but nice for sightseeing. The jitney got us to and from the casinos, which was awesome, all we had to do was walk a couple of blocks to get the AC/​Ventnor City border. $ 2 a ride was much better they the $ 40 cab fare or a $ 20 parking spot. It was nice that it was away from everything, made us feel like we had 2 separate vacation locations.
One thing I didn’t care for (and this is just because we are 20 something’s going to party in AC), was that we felt we had to be quiet when we were in the house. No one told us to be quiet or anything, but I felt like we were the only loud ones, going in and out of the room to smoke a cig downstairs or go out for a drink, so we tried to be respectful. Which when we had a couple of drinks was a little more difficult ;)
But you’re looking for an adorable, quiet, and romantic place to stay, I definitely recommend staying here.

First time visit in September 2014. Stayed in room 7, well lit, blue and white décor, king bed. Perfect for weekend getaway. Well worth the extra cost to stay in the main house with king bed, parking space. Breakfast both mornings was delicious, pancakes a must try! The man who checked us in also ran breakfast both days, pleasant gentleman. Quite accommodating for check in and out, no trouble changing check in to 3:30. Beach a half block walk away. Would come here again!

Great B&B just south of AC. 30 seconds from the beach. Lots of restaurants around. Friendly guests and staff.

WOW this place was incredible. On the same block as the beach, you get your own private porch, Jacuzzi bath, and the room comes fitted with complementary champagne & craft beers. The bed was SO comfy and the room was spotless. The breakfast in the morning was great, but very busy. We actually had a nice experience of talking with a random couple and sitting with them for the meal. It made me feel like I was on the titanic dining intimately with other travelers. Furthermore, the staff was friendly and above & beyond accommodating, which really is what seals the 5 stars for me. If I return to AC, I would definitely look into staying here.

Great place, service was amazing! We booked the spa room with steam shower. It is a comfortable inn, they take much pride in serving and make efforts with the food that other inns generally do not. Great snacks late afternoon, wine; breakfast is homemade and anything you want prepared. I was very impressed! It’s great to see the such a genuine interest in serving the guests and it made the experience A+. Location is beach block, close to AC.

Friendly staff, great rooms, comfy beds, made to order breakfast
…all about 200 yards from the beach.
Can’t beat that!

I recently stayed at this B & B and found the staff extremely helpful. The staff called us back to tell us a room has opened, provided late check in information including places to eat, ATMs (only cash accepted and BYOB) at lovely restaurant around around corner and where to pick up a bottle of wine. In addition they found parking for our boat and trailer. I have not had such great service anywhere! Oh, and the rooms, breakfast and location were perfect

My boyfriend surprised me with a night at the Carisbrooke Inn for Valentine’s Day. I had never stayed at a bed and breakfast so I didn’t know what to expect but let me tell you, any time I have to venture back to AC, I sure as hell am not staying at one of the casino’s.
This place was right down the road, a 5 minute drive, not even, from all of the casino’s. It was quiet (unlike the casino’s with loud, drunken, 20-​somethings), the bed/​pillows were extremely comfortable, and the bathrooms (and the whole place for that matter) were very clean.
When we arrived the place smelled amazing due to the fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies they had just put out. Then, at 5, there was a complimentary cocktail hour with sangria and hors d’oeuvres. The next morning, breakfast was amazing. I ordered scrambled eggs with potatos and canadian bacon. As good as a restaurant.
I highly reccommend this place. It’s quaint and romantic. I suggested to my boyfriend that we make the Carisbrook

My boyfriend and I decided to stay here for our first time in Atlantic City. We stayed in room 10. This little inn is absolutely adorable and feels like home!
Check in was ridiculously simple, and the owners are so nice. There were cookies out when we arrived, and around 5pm they put out sangria and hors d’oeuvres in the sitting area. Breakfast the next morning was fantastic; I got the pancakes and my boyfriend had French toast. They also had a little continental breakfast available.
Our room had a detached bathroom across the hall, which we didn’t mind. They provided robes to wear to and from the bathroom. The room was cozy and fairly small, but not uncomfortable. The entire thing was pink and frilly — really cute, though kind of girly for my boyfriend I guess. The bathroom was bigger than I expected. Everything was very clean and nice. The whole place just has a really charming, welcoming feel.
It’s right on the beach, which is beautiful. The only downside is that it isn’t within walking distance of most of the casinos — especially with the cold weather. Luckily the Jitney bus system comes nearby, and will take you to any casino you want. It’s $ 2 a ride, so totally doable, but I do wish we had been just a bit closer to the main area. We had dinner reservations at a restaurant in Resorts, right next to the Trump Taj Mahal and the Steel Pier. That was over 3 miles away — so definitely not walkable in nice clothes.
If you’re looking for an adorable, quiet, and romantic place to stay, I can’t recommend this place highly enough!

Found this place on groupon and was very pleased to see how close it is to the boardwalk. Right away the service was great ! I took the spa room with hot tub the most pleasant and relaxing experince ever. Uoon my check in I revieved a complimentary bottle of champage and got breakfast in the morning bacon egss and toast. I will definitely be back again ! I felt like I was right at home

We found the Carisbrooke Inn with Groupon when searching for a getaway for our 6^th anniversary. I am not a big fan of Atlantic City, but really wanted to be near a beach since I’m from the midwest, and have seldom had the opportunity to see the ocean. The Carisbrooke was perfect! Within a block to the beach, and a mile and a half walk down the boardwalk to AC. The Ventnor beach was much quieter, which was exactly what I was hoping for, but we were still able to get to AC without having to drive.
The Inn itself is charming. It was our first experience with a bed and breakfast, and we stayed in the Ocean Suite. We basically had an entire apartment to ourselves. We were not expecting the jacuzzi tub, so that was a treat! The wine in the room was a nice touch as well!
Breakfast was delicious, and we had a lovely relaxing trip! There were lots of little restaurants in the area. Once our car was parked, we did not have to move it as everything was walkable. If we go back to AC, I’d much rather be here!

Friendly place, clean rooms, great location!
What a delightful little B&B! The inn is located in a quiet, clean neighborhood away from the AC hotels. It is really close to the beach and there are a lot of mom and pop stores and eating joints in and around within walking distance. Atlantic City hotels are just about 2 mi down the road.
We were booked in Room 4 on the second floor, and stayed for two days. We checked in late on Friday night (after 7 pm), and were given instructions on where to find our key and the welcome package (information about the inn/​room and Atlantic City). Also, let me put this down on record — it is an amazing feeling to walk in and find a batch of home made cookies waiting, after driving for 5 hrs in the pouring rain (yes, it’s left out for guests in the hallway).
The room was clean, and comfortably furnished. Other perks included free bottled water, free internet, free beach towels, free umbrellas, and free beach chairs. Yes, I wanted to emphasize the word «free» there. Maybe this is standard B&B practice, but it was our first time staying away from big hotels and it certainly felt more welcoming! Unfortunately, we didn’t get to try the morning breakfast since we are late risers. Maybe next time!

Stumbled upon this place on LivingSocial and bought the voucher for a romantic getaway for mine and my boyfriend’s semi-​annual anniversary. It was awesome!
In three words: Warm, welcoming and cozy. This bed & breakfast is close to the boardwalk but away from the hub and hustle of Atlantic City. The hostess who greeted us was so friendly that I immediately felt at home. Breakfast was simple and well-​made. Absolutely no complaints here.

Enjoyed the inn. Came in July and stayed a weekday. Breakfast was awesome! Staffs were friendly. Dog was mellow and friendly! It was nice that we’re very close to beach. The price was fair for what you get. Bathroom was tight though. Smells like old house but nothing out of the norm since it is an older house. Happy hour can be quite engaging especially if you run into interesting guests at the inn. The main complaint would be the parking situation. The inn definitely doesn’t have enough parking space for the max amount of guests it can accommodate. It was already full on a weekday, so be prepared to find parking on the streets.

The Carisbrooke Inn is a speck of cozy refinery in the sea of tackiness that is the Atlantic City area. My girlfriends and I took advantage of the Groupon, and being the type who prefer board games with friends over casino gambling and jeans over sweatpants with Corona on the butt-​this was the perfect respite for us. There is a lot of construction in the area right now but you are still a 30 second walk to a lovely, isolated section of the beach as well as several restaurants and shops including a liquor store. You are also about twenty minutes on the boardwalk from the main strip so you can head over to the Trump, put a quarter in the slot, sip a cocktail, and then run back to your Country Mouse headquarters and curl up in bed if you so choose.
The Carisbrooke itself is gorgeous and that makes it sort of out of place in its neighborhood. Each room has it’s own décor and personality but each keeps a beachy elegant feel. We stayed in the Red Room, described as the most romantic room in the house. It was clearly not meant for a group of best friends but a huge bed, cot in the room upon arrival, and decent sized bathroom made it work. I’m sure the room would be more than adequate for a lovely romance if that be your thing.
We were able to utilize to a lovely porch perfect for drinking and dining al fresco, although not overlooking the best view. The inn also provides access to a refrigerator, fantastic outdoor shower, courtyard, and plenty of towels and beach chairs. The included breakfast was fantastic-​eggs your way and blue berry pancakes were both big hits with us. We also took advantage of the complimentary sangria and snacks at happy hour. There are two majestic dogs who wander around and are very sweet and gentle.
For a reasonable price you get pancakes, sangria, dogs, red rooms of pain, air conditioning, a lovely beach and most importantly, a more relaxing experience of Atlantic City.
