My only regret in staying at the Ships Inn was that we did not stay for longer! Beautiful, airy, comfortable room. Knowledgeable and friendly inn keepers. Great location, walking distance to all the best shopping. Delicious breakfast in their wonderful restaurant.

Mary Lou and Bob made our stay at the Ship's Inn so relaxing.

The breakfasts were so much more than we had expected at a B&B. If we were a little late and the "good stuff" was already eaten/ finished, we especially appreciated the thoughtfulness receiving a heated up hashbrown casserole. Also, knowing what we liked, Mary Lou would kindly inform us of the addition of the sausage/egg casserole and bring out Special K cereal that had run out up front.

Maps, beach chairs, and towels were at our disposal. The afternoon tea hit the spot when we happened to return to the inn. Plenty of towels and toiletries were available. The staff seem to play double duty behind the scenes. Katerina did a wonderful job of maintaining a clean room for us and seeking out Earl Grey tea at breakfast.

If you have difficulty with stairs, this would be the only disadvantage for staying at the Ship's Inn. There are stairs to the main entrance, and if you are not staying at the room on the main floor, then there are narrow, steep stairs to the upper two floors. Bob efficiently handled delivering our bags to the rooms; however, even without luggage, one needs to be mindful of the stairs.

This is a historic building. The claw foot tub with showerhead and two faucet sink may be slightly inconvenient for some although we found everything to be quite charming.

The Ship's Inn is just as quaint as Nantucket itself. We hope to visit again soon.

The Ships Inn is a classic and historic Nantucket Inn. My friend and I each had our own single rooms and we shared the bathroom between the two rooms. This was a perfect scenario to have your own space and be able to go to bed whenever you want. The room was perfect for one person with cable TV, refrigerator, free Wi-Fi and a sink. It was a long room and not too small at all. The bed was very soft and comfortable. There was lots of white making it feel very Nantucket beach-like. The breakfast was wonderful with all kinds of delicious breakfast pies and cakes as well as cereal, breads, fruit, yogurt and fresh squeezed OJ. The restaurant for dinner was exceptional. Our server was one of the most polished servers I had ever seen and the dinner was wonderful. Classic American cuisine in a romantic and historic setting. Also, the location is steps from downtown with quiet and lovely little homes and streets close by. Finally, the living room is lovely after a day at the beach to drink fresh lemonade and eat cookies. I will be back to the Ships Inn for sure!

My husband and I just returned from our weekend stay at The ship's Inn on Nantucket. This was our first trip to Nantucket, since we usually spend time on Block Island and Martha's Vineyard. WOW!! Still can't believe what we have been missing out on all these years! The island is incredibly beautiful, the people are all extremely friendly, and the food is just amazingly delicious. We were there celebrating our 18th Wedding Anniversary and couldn't have picked a more perfect weekend weather wise. The staff at The Ship's Inn are so warm and accomodating. The breakfasts in the morning are just so yummy. Fresh fruit, all kinds of juices, freshly baked scones, muffins, cakes and of course their many delicious vegetable casseroles and bread pudding/ french toast-like desserts are all over-the -top!! The room we stayed in was very clean and comfortable. The pillows were on the "hard" side, and could definitely be a bit more fluffy. The shower also seemed to have a mind of it's own, and would lose water pressure a few times and when the pressure would return, the water was freezing cold. We regretably did not have dinner at the restaurant, although it was packed both Friday and Saturday night. The menu did look inventive and really good. We will definitely not miss the restaurant next time we stay at The Ship's Inn!!
