“New England Charm Only 2 Hours Away”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2013

The Pridwin Hotel is more like an old country inn. The rooms are simple and clean. The beds are comfortable. The hotel, located on Shore Road, is waterfront with amazing sunsets. As you drive up to the Pridwin, you notice the adirondack chairs on the lawn. The dining veranda overlooks the water with sailboats in the distance. The twin docks... More

We have enjoyed staying at the Pridwin on several occasions in the past few summers. The location is perfect, right across from the beach. The large deck is great for having a relaxing meal or cocktail. Sunset is beautiful over the water. After a day exploring the island we like to come back to the pool. We like the water... More

“I can't wait to return!”

My husband and I spent September 6th and 7th at The Pridwin. We were greeted warmly upon arrival and were pleased with our clean, comfortable rooms. WE had 2 overlooking the water and one that overlooked the cottages. Granted, if you are looking for posh and trendy, you will be disappointed. This is definitely a warm and welcoming beach hotel....
