Breakfast was a throw away beds comfortable 100 yards from whaling museum- on the quiet side.. it was fine nothing special but certainly didn't overpay. More

Periwiinkle/Scallop Inn is a bed-and-breakfast guest house only few steps from the main downtown area, yet it is very quiet and serene. There is a large back garden with lounge chairs and patio tables for Periwinkle and Scallop Inn guests to use. We stayed four nights at the Scallop Inn. The house is immaculate. They provide free internet access and... More

My husband and I recently stayed here for 4 nights with our 4-month-old baby. While the location is great and the inn itself is very quaint, we were very disappointed by the breakfast. For a place that calls itself a b&b, they should put a little more effort into the breakfast. The "continental breakfast" consisted of Yoplait yogurts, fruit, and... More

Periwinkle is very clean, Sonja keeps the place in tip-top shape. Walking distance to downtown. You can't beat the price of $140.00 for a queen bed and twin bed in the room. More

Our stay at the Periwinkle Guest House was EXACTLY what we were looking for in a late summer getaway from Cape Cod. Our objectives were to tour the island on our bicycles, to walk to town for meals and to go to the Whaling Museum. It fit the bill PERFECTLY for us. There is an outdoor breakfast area where we...

I have to say, I too read the past reviews and was somewhat skeptical of staying here. Upon my arrival, I was greeted with a warm smile, and a genuine feeling of Welcome to Nantucket and The Periwinkle. The accommodations were great, the place was very clean, and the location was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at The Periwinkle... More

I read the reviews for this property and frankly was terrified to stay there, but the price was right. We stayed at the Scallop Inn in a king room with shared bath. It had recently been redone, and I thought it was worth the money! I loved the view, and the gardens were lovely too. They gave us muffins and... More

Had booked into family suite for 4 nights. On first night found that the twin beds were absolutely infested w/bed bugs..... too late that night to move. With our absolute insistence that we could not stay in either of the bedrooms they moved us to upstairs rooms. Apologies were abysmal. Breakfast next morning equally horrific-no service in kitchen-not a clean... More
