As we are English,we were intrigued to find out what kind of job The British Beer Co. would make of a "typical English pub" and I have to say, the jury is still out on that one, especially serving cole slaw with fish and chips, every Brit knows it should be "mushy peas"!
However, the rooms we had at the Seaside Inn, suite 201, were top notch! We were warned that, because it was situated above the pub itself, it could get noisy, and maybe at the weekend it can, but we stayed on Mon/Tues. so it was quiet. The rooms, bedroom(2 x king-size), bathroom and kitchen, were excellent. They were clean, beautifully appointed and supremely comfortable. The private deck was overlooking the sea-front and Marthas' Vineyard in the distance, ideal for people-watching with a glass of wine.
We were very impressed with the young lady who was the evening receptionist, didn't get her name, but she answered many questions regarding American customs and way of life, eg. "what is a tag-sale?"
We enjoyed a decent meal in the pub and self-catered the second night in the comfortable and light kitchen. As for the authenticity of the "British" pub, it was a good try. Having been in the "real ale" business ourselves in England, we feel that they would benefit by having their own micro-brewery and doing the job properly. That said, we would happily recommend room 201 at the Seaside Inn to anyone.
