Tiny rooms, noisy with a wedding ,strange service and poor,very expendsive food. Will never return

As you can be assured by my Trip Advisor profile; MTMB reviews, I have no hesitation writing a bad review when called for and have traveled extensively throughout the states and abroad with my husband and children. We have never stayed at a more charming, lovely place, ever, than the Summer House Inn located in the Siasconset corner of Nantucket Island nor dined at a better restaurant, which without question is the best on the island (check Zagat reviews!!). Todd English is the chef! It is not inexpensive, but so well worth it. The cabins are the most charming, romantic old world cottages that you could ever imagine. I am shocked reading a negative review as clearly this person is looking for an inexpensive bargain style lodging and experience which I don't believe exists on Nantucket Island. The cabins with the padlock barn doors covered with roses are just beautiful. Funny how folks have such different perceptions of things. The staff were lovely and saw to our every need. I viewed the owner dealing so well with one couple that were clearly under the impression that they were royalty. I admired his professionalism. Not sure i would have been so polite. My children are eager to return this summer as are my husband and myself. If you require a 5 star sterile, resort where you could get lost in the place, this is not for you. If you are looking for a charming, old world, ocean front, true Nantucket experience with a lovely pool, staff, piano bar playing old Broadway tunes and the best restaurant on the island, go for it and enjoy!

I stayed at the Summer House over Labor Day Weekend with two friends. We stayed in a two bedroom cottage which was absolutely adorable. The beds were so comfortable, great high thread count linens, spotless and LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! We all agree, this weekend could not have been better! The restaurant was phenominal, staff went above and beyond at all times and Todd, the bartender was awesome!

Peter and Danielle, the owners were onsite the whole weekend ensuring everything was going smoothly and making sure the guests were happy. This is a place you can come and relax and not have to leave, beautiful beach, pool, two restaurants and two bars on prettiest part of Nantucket! I can't wait to go back!

Forget that the meal was over $1,100 for 7 people and a shared platter for three gave 3 small oysters and three little neck clams each only a small ramekin of crab meat and another of lobster - but hey, we got a ton on ice with it.
Forget that the waiter explained that there was no need to tip as he was sorry he had not been able to be as 'attentive' as he would have wished and that the gratuity was already included - $120 for serving seven people?
Forget that the food got no fancier than 'Seared Halibut' - The real crime was that we ordered Bollinger nv champagne. The waiter came out and explained the had 'run out' of it and they were 'prepared' to offer us Perrier Jouet nv which "is $20 more" for the same price. This is simply untrue. Having rung the place just now they offer both bottles at the same price - even though Perrier Jouet is a cheaper wine than Bollinger - check it on www.winesearcher.com it is around $38/bottle ex tax, Bollinger is $60/bottle ex tax from any merchant.
But as we were a family group and treating one member to a special night out we decided to avoid confrontation.
Overpriced is one thing, but fabricating tales of generosity with champagne - that really gives you the measure of a place.
