Three of us shared a room at this Inn in mid-July, for three nights. First trip to Nantucket so cannot compare this Inn to any others on the island. This is affiliated with The Roberts House/Linden House on the same street, and has the most beautiful gardens I've EVER seen with a property. The porches, one open, one enclosed, with comfy white wicker furniture and lace, were absolutely charming!!!
You walk inside ... there's a winding staircase, and the place is lovely and classy. Our room was on the second floor, #M7, and everything was first-class .... white lacy linens, Gilchrist & Soames bath products, turn-down service. The fireplace could be used in winter, big roomy bath, good TV ... beautiful. Comfy chairs and good reading light, wonderful King bed mattress! (My ONLY complaint is that the *twin bed* was not exactly a twin bed! It was like a futon built into a multi-windowed closet, a mattress on a wooden slab, not long enough for anyone over 5' 4". I managed, at 5' 9", but was not a happy camper with that. I'm sure a child or shorter adult would be comfy in it.)
Breakfast was Continental, next door at the Roberts House, and provided the most delicious homemade pastries and best coffee I've probably ever drank. Also, yoghurt, cereals, juices, fresh fruit ... very good start for the day.)
Location is outstanding ... walk to everything important; we rolled our luggage from the ferry with no problems or undue strain. Keep in mind that you will need to carry luggage up a winding staircase, if you don't have a ground-floor room, so keep it on the light side. Our room was $325 for three adults, high season. Rates are better off-season, of course. Also there are a couple of shared-bath rooms on the third floor that are much more reasonable ... rooms still lovely!
I LOVED this place and would go back tomorrow! I LOVED Nantucket, and can't wait to go back. Do try the Manor House Inn ... it is great!
