“Great Location & Breakfast but Rooms Need an Update”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2010
1
person found this review helpful

The Ashley Inn is located on a beautiful street within a 5-10 minute walk from shopping, dining, and the Edgartown waterfront. Edgartown is the most charming town on Martha's Vineyard. Less crowded than Oak Bluffs but with more to offer than Vineyard Haven. Fred and Janet, the innkeepers of The Ashley Inn, offer a delicious homecooked breakfast each morning with several choices of a hot dish (omelet, quiche) and numerous cereals, muffins, pastries (the coffee cake is a must try), and fresh fruit. As for the rooms, I realize that they are decorated for the feel of the area but they are a bit dated. The bed is comfortable and I had a good night's sleep but the furniture in my room was dated, scuffed, and worn out. The tv was a small 13 inch and the remote control didn't work to change the channels. The bathroom in my room was in desperate need of a top to bottom makeover. The shower was TINY...literally like 2 by 2. It was a tight fit just to wash my hair. Forget shaving your legs in this shower. The paint was peeling from the ceiling above the shower and from the walls in the shower, the shower door wouldn't close, and the water was so loud coming out of the pipes of the shower faucet you would've thought a freight train was coming through the wall. I know it had to have woken up the people in the rooms above/below/next to mine. The noise was very loud.

The Ashley Inn has a lot of great things going for it - location, breakfast, and nice innkeepers - but the rooms and, especially, the bathrooms are in dire need of a makeover.

While on MV, be sure to visit the Alpaca Farm. It's really a treat. The alpacas are adorable. Plus, you can stock up on alpaca gloves, hats, and scarves.

“Great all around B&B for the price and locaton!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2010

We just got back from Martha's Vineyard and stayed at the Ashley Inn in Edgartown for 5 evenings. Fred and Janet were great, as well as, the rest of the staff. The location was convenient, but it is on Main Street, so it can be a noisy at times in the front rooms. The rooms were nicely appointed and very clean. We had a nice sitting area in our room and a very much needed air conditioner that was very quiet. The breakfast was a full breakfast that was delicious each morning. We plan on coming back next summer and will definitely consider renting one their houses for the family.

“Like being with family!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2010

My wife and I are very particular people when it comes to service and cleanliness, the Ashley Inn did not let us down. We were especially delighted with the personal touch of Fred, the Innkeeper, and his family, they made us feel extremely comfortable, almost like family. There is no doubt in our minds that on our next visit we will be staying at the Ashley Inn, we highly recommend it.

“A Lovely Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 June 2010

My mom, sister, and I just stayed at the Ashley Inn and were very happy with our stay. The innkeepers and staff were very friendly, attentive, and made you feel right at home. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. Scones, muffins, great coffee are set out and then a choice of a homeade hot breakfast is included as well. Lemonade, ice tea, scones, and homeade chocolate chip cookies are also put out in the afternoons. The living room is very inviting, a great place to relax, and hammocks are in the backyard to lounge too. Our room was clean, plenty of space, and a nice bathroom. A great location in Edgartown, only a three minute walk to the main street. Also, the inn has a great weekly rate, the first night the full rate, and the second for half off! A great stay at the Ashley Inn, would come back again!

“wonderful proprietors”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2009

Fred and Janet are the owners of the house. They are more than friendly and make you feel right at home. I don't know how they keep up their energy. The homemade breakfast is GREAT. Fresh scones and muffins are made every morning. The afternoon tea isn't really an 'afternoon tea'. Its just hot water put out next to mugs and a selection of tea bags, although they do serve fresh baked cookies next to it so that more than makes up for it. Now for the downside--my husband and I stayed in room #2 (adjacent to the main house next to the kitchen) so I can't speak for the rest of the rooms. Our room was in major need of renovation. The worst part was the bathroom. The light didn't work and the window sill was broken. Everything in the bathroom was generally old and worn. It needs to be gutted out and redone. The rest of the room was quite roomy but in general very run down. Until they're ready to renovate they should price this room as the 'budget' and not their normal rates. It is perfectly located in Edgartown and they provide you with a parking space.
