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 the rooms are equipped with television, a large sofa and plenty of high quality towels and robes. The staff is very friendly. Coffee, tea, juice and fresh fruits are always at hand in the shared kitchen and in the mornings they offer cereals and muffins. There is also a small patio off the kitchen with table and chairs. I would recommend Scallop Inn if you are staying in Nantucket. It is clean, quiet and close to everything.
