My husband and I had a wonderful trip and The Cobblestone Inn and Robin, as the innkeeper, helped make it an unforgetable experience. We stayed on the 3rd floor. As we arrived fog and rain had just started; the top floor made for wonderful views of the harbor and the sofa felt like our special part of Nantucket even in rain. The location was perfect affording us access to shopping within minutes,the harbor , and the ferry within 2 blocks. Robin made me coffee in her kitchen when I awoke early one morning. She is only there in the background and the "perfect" innkeeper.

I normally don't write reviews but, after our third stay at the Inn I had to. We stayed at the Cobblestone on three occasions, once in Summer, once in early fall, and just completed a winter getaway in December. We find the Inn inviting, friendly, and homey. On all stays the innkeepers were warm and accomadating. We felt like visitors in their home rather than renters. We have stayed in the same room all three times at the top of the stairway, and found it to be charming, well appointed, cozy, and comfortable. The private bath was stocked with necessities and perfect for the 2 of us. The Inn's location makes it easy to get to all attractions in town, shopping, restaurants, ferries. In the summer we were able to quickly walk to the beach shuttles. It was nice to be able to make a cup of tea in the inn's pantry after a day out. The continental breakfast provided was nicely presented and more than adequate. We look forward to many more visits to the Cobblestone...

We found the inn conveniently located, it was a short walk from the ferry and to the downtown area. We were greeted for our stay by a note on the door. It directed us to enter our unlocked room and invited us to help our selves to a galley sized kitchen where we could find cookies and beverages. No water was to be found, but cokes were provided. We found our room to be clean but sparse. The only chair provided was in the bathroom, the only other seating was on the bed. There were shades on the windows, but not on the glass door, where only a thin cafe curtain kept prying eyes at bay. We spent the first night shivering under the generous covers. There seemed to be no heat at all, the air coming from the registers was not warm. The next morning, we discovered that it was warmer outside than in. We requested that the heat be turned up, and they complied. The breakfast provided was indeed a couple of quickbreads and coffee as a previous review reported. The weather warmed up, and we had a more comfortable sleep that evening. The next day brought cooler temperatures however, and we spent another cold, sleepless night in that little room. We never met the owners of the Inn, never saw them, never met them. My husband spoke to the housekeeper a second time about the excessive cold. and she said that we should have called her about the problem, but we're not sure how that would have been accomplished. There was a posted cell phone number for the owners, but we weren't sure that they were even there! Someone had obviously turned the heat down, but neglected to turn it back up when the temperature dropped. The Cobblestone Inn is a bargain on the island, but it's good to remember that you get what you pay for. I'd rather pay a little more and have heat, making the room livable, and a chair to sit in to read the paper. We wouldn't go back and wouldn't send anyone else there.

We chose the Cobblestone Inn because it was one of the least expensive B&B's on Nantucket, but given Nantucket's outrageous prices, it was still very expensive. We did very much enjoy the historical feel of the place (it was built in the 1720's) and overall it was clean and relatively comfortable. It was tucked away on a quiet side-street within walking distance to the center of town. However, it was very hot and humid when we got to our room mid-day. Despite having A/C advertised, it was not on, so we basically had to choose not to lounge in our room. One of the lamps in our room was broken. The two most disappointing things about our stay were that the hosts never even said "hello" to us (we do not like overbearing B&B owners, but it might have been nice to at least meet them) and the breakfast. Breakfast consisted of two type of quickbreads, which were very dry, plus coffee/tea/OJ and fruit. I know it was advertised as "continental," but usually continental also includes toast, cereal, and/or yogurt.
