Today, this Chincoteague bed and breakfast landmark has six beautifully furnished, air-conditioned rooms, including one suite, each with private bathroom.
The rooms are spacious and quiet, most with king-or queen-size 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 all visitors to Chincoteague. The Channel Bass Inn has been awarded a 3-star rating by Mobil.

Barbara and David Wiedenheft (from Leeds, England and Chicago, respectively) came to Chincoteague in 1992 to begin new careers as innkeepers. Although they no longer own Miss Molly's Inn, their first inn, they have established a tradition of scrumptious breakfasts and delicious English afternoon teas, featuring Barbara's "World Famous" scones. Here this tradition is carried on, and Barbara and David continue to extend their special brand of hospitality to their guests at The Channel Bass Inn. Barbara's ability to speak French, Dutch, German and other foreign languages will make visitors from abroad feel very much at home.

The dining room, once the setting for a four-star restaurant, has now become The Tea Room at The Channel Bass Inn, giving all visitors to Chincoteague the opportunity to sample a taste of England.
Afternoon tea is served to the public most days in the Tea Room. Seatings are at 3:30 and 3:45 p.m. Along with "World-Famous" scones, jam and cream, other tea-time delights may include trifle, Victoria sponge cake with strawberries and cream, "stuffed monkeys", apple cake and fruit tarts.

The Chincoteague Area
The native Indians called our island Gingo-teague, which means "beautiful land across the water." Historically, Chincoteague has been a fishing village, widely known for the salty taste of the oysters from nearby bays. Commercial fishing boats still off-load their catch on Chincoteague.

Nearby Assateague Island provides a natural backdrop for your stay on Chincoteague. Uninhabited now, it has become a National Wildlife Refuge and National Seashore. The Refuge, a favorite destination for birders, includes sandy dunes, marshlands and wooded areas. The Seashore provides long sandy stretches for walking, sunning, swimming, and shell-gathering. The wild horses, made famous by Marguerite Henry’s children’s classic Misty of Chincoteague, roam contentedly on Assateague Island.

Chincoteague Vacation Activities
There is much to do and see on the islands of Chincoteague and nearby Assateague. Walking, bicycling, kayaking and canoeing are favorite activities. For a faster pace, jet-skis and motorboats are available and young people will enjoy playing miniature golf or bouncing in the bumper boats. There are sightseeing tours on both land and water, and fishing boats are available for charter. After a day on the water, one can browse for antiques and gifts or enjoy a meal at one of Chincoteague’s fine restaurants.
