“fabulous!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011

people found this review helpful

we just celebrated our 25th anniversary with a four day stay at the arbor cottages. room was comfortable and very clean; bathroom was surprisingly accommodating. the location was very central to ferry, beach, bookstores, very good food and just tucked away enough to feel away from the busyness of traffic. the staff was welcoming, helpful and yet never underfoot nor intrusive. breakfast was exceptional; muffins were light and tasty, fruit, juice and bagels fresh, but the 'smoothy shooters' were the star: so good. after a full day of cycling, walking and shopping bringing a beer and a novel to the veranda or sitting room was the perfect setting before heading out for a nice meal. i had some anxiety about staying at the cottages as opposed to the Veranda Hotel. that was completely unwarranted. the hotel is great but i really appreciated being just that little bit more private. a near perfect trip- a little cloudy most days-
well worth the 25 years it took to get us there.

Room Tip: liked being in the front of the building

“Couldn't Have Asked for More...Perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 May 2011

This is the perfect balance between privacy and superior service...every little touch has blown us away. The breakfast is delicious, the flavored water and cocktail hour refreshing, and the location unbeatable. We are sure to return!

“We thought that Arbor Cottage was lovely.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2010

We thouroughly enjoyed our stay at the Arbor Cottage. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, the rooms were clean, the breakfast was delicious every day, and the location was perfect. We were traveling with extended family and the Captains Loft was exactly what we needed! It was difficult to find a room like that at any other bed and breakfast.

“Dream come true”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2010

Nantucket is a place I have planned to visit since I was a chlld. I decided this past summer the time had come -- I now have grandchildren. A friend and I stayed in the Captain's Loft at the Arbor Cottage at Six Step Lane, and it was exactly as I had hoped it would be! The staff at the Veranda is unbelievable! They were so helpful in arranging our every desire, and they made possible several memorable adventures! I loved every minute of our stay, and I am planning to return next year! The breakfasts were beyond anything we had expected. The lobby (including the enormous bowl of Hot Tamales) and grounds are lovely, and the location could not be more perfect! I fell in love!

“"Climate" control”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2010

A wonderful experience. Breakfast a bit fussy, but at these prices we should be pampered a bit. The room was hot at night with only a down comforter and a sheet so it alternated between chilly and roasting. The local natives were quite loud on the weekend - woke us up at 1 am each night we were there with loud parties. Rude neighbors can't be helped but we were quite bleary eyed. Off season a find, a steal, a gem - in season: choose your weekends wisely.
