Unfortunately, the owner did not teach at a pace for all of us to follow with as you would generally expect when taking a private class. She was not personable and did not have the details that we had coordinated in advance of the class. She was rather negatively opinionated about marijuana which we didn't even bring up yet she capitalizes on by selling such products representing it in her shop. The options are limited compared to other pottery studios that our family has done similar projects at previously. Waited a month for the tracking number for our mugs after emailing and calling with no follow up. After a month of waiting, she got nasty when I said I would soon be reaching out to my credit card company if a tracking number was not provided. Yes the mugs did show up looking as if they were dropped on the floor prior to being fired with shattered glazing. 100% would never do this again here. The first excuse for the delay was that they were too slow to get the mugs fired quickly, the second excuse was that they were too busy to keep up. If you are going to mess up, at least get your story consistent. Honesty is the best policy folks! Owner repeatedly rudely texted me after posting this to advise of additional false shipping information so I am attaching it to show the proof from usps. Seems as though she is trying to use intimidation tactics to keep her reviews at an inaccurate rating. She is quite unprofessional and unkind.

The atmosphere is calming and welcoming, the employees incredibly kind and helpful, the selection of available pottery to paint is SO vast. The cafe in the next room has an incredible selection of teas, coffees, pastries, you name it. There's truly something for everyone here even if someone isn't artsy. Wish I was in town long enough to take one of their classes! 11/10, I wish I could leave 6 stars!

We had an amazing stay at the Atlantic Inn in Hatteras, NC! The inn is absolutely beautiful, and…read morethe rooms were neat, spotless, and made us feel like movie stars on vacation. The homemade breakfasts were delicious, and the complimentary snacks and drinks were a wonderful touch. The elegant dining room and the huge front porch were perfect for relaxing with family-- we even watched a storm roll in off the water, which was unforgettable. The cute gift shop had some neat history about the building too. Best of all, the beach is just a 3-minute walk away. We loved every minute and can't wait to return! Highly recommend.

We have our sunset dinner here for our annual summer vacation with friends and the Inn never…read moredisappoints. Located directly on the Pamlico Sound this is a perfect dinner spot. This year they added an outdoor tiki bar and it has great views of the sound. So, if you come early for your reservation or want to stay for a few cocktails after dinner, this is the perfect place. The main restaurant has both inside seating with AC/heat and seating that is mostly enclosed but is more like outside seating with large windows that are generally open when the weather permits....not a bad seat anywhere you sit! During the summer months they host great acoustic guitar performances that can be enjoyed along with your dinner. This is the place to go to in the Avon-Buxton-Frisco-Hatteras area for fine dining and well worth the reasonable prices. During our visit earlier this week we ordered a kids meal, Elk chops, lamb, and the filet for this in our group and everything was cooked to perfection. The Chef was helpful at making recommendations on how the Elk should be cooked and the recommendation was spot on! If you're in the OBX this summer, put the Inn on your dinner rotation---especially if looking for a more upscale experience.

We ended up at Captain's Landing more or less by accident (at the last minute we decided to take…read morethe Cedar Island-Ocracoke ferry instead of driving via Manteo to Hatteras Island, and this was the only hotel we found with room -- most hotels on Ocracoke close in winter, and one that was open, Pony Island, didn't answer its phone or return our calls.) A helpful person at NC Ferries gave us the tip on Captain's Landings. We're so glad we did! We got the next to last room available at this inn, and probably on the island, a one-bedroom, one and a half bath suite for just $110. Rates in summer rise to $280, but there's a discount for weekly stays, and I would guess that this place stays fully booked much of the time. The inn, painted a light yellow and patterned after another, long-gone hotel on the island, the Ponzer Hotel, is owned by a ninth generation Ocracoker, Betty Chamberlin, and her husband. It is perched right on Silver Lake (the Ocracoke harbor) in the heart of the village, within walking or biking distance to just about everything, including one of the best and most pristine stretches of Hatteras National Seashore beach on the entire Outer Banks. In a Frommer's guidebook I wrote to the coast of the Carolinas and Georgia years ago, I rated this 14 miles of Ocracoke beach the best beach in the three states. In my view, it still is. You're also just a short bike or hike away from the lighthouse and the shops and restaurants in and around the village. Although they are closed in winter, you'll probably find as most do that the Flying Melon and the Back Porch are the two top restaurants on the island, and that Howard's Pub is a great watering hole. On this visit, we ate at Jason's for dinner -- it has good, fresh seafood and probably the best pizza anywhere around. The views across the harbor, including the Ocracoke Lighthouse, are wonderful. Our first-floor suite had everything we needed -- fully equipped kitchen, a balcony overlooking the inn's 10 boat slips and the water, a pleasant living room with a large flat screen TV with DirecTV and DVD player, and a comfortable bedroom with a quality queen bed. There's free Wi-Fi. The manager is very friendly and helpful, and she gave us good advice on the three restaurants that are open for dinner this time of year. We've visited Ocracoke many times during annual stays at Avon or Rodanthe on Hatteras Island, but I have only stayed overnight on the island only a couple of times. This visit, in late February, we lucked out on the weather. It can be surprisingly cold on the OBX in winter, but this time it was sunny and around 70 degrees in the day, perfect springlike weather. Ocracoke is one of the jewels of the North Carolina coast, and in our book Captain's Landing is the top place to stay on Ocracoke.
