“Wedding in October”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Can't say enough about the fabulous wedding we had here for our son. The service and food were absolutely amazing! The setting is so beautiful, with a terrace overlooking the water, great lawn where we had the ceremony, and lovely, clean, and recently renovated rooms. A large lobby/sitting area added to the comfort of all the guests. They even have a large two bedroom house that was perfect for the bridal party to get ready in. Other cabins are scattered about and very nice, each with it's own waterview deck and kitchen. We had almost 200 people and many stayed at the Pridwin. They also supplied breakfasts. It was an incredible experience.

Room Tip: Corner rooms are really nice, and so are the cabins.

“Beautiful location but very dated”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011

We were here for a wedding and decided to stay at the hotel. The folks at the front desk were very nice and helpful. The lobby was charming and the grounds beautiful with being right on the water. Our room was adequate and clean but had a smell to it. It was small and the bathroom was right out of another century! The towels were small and thin.My husband actually asked where I had put the bath towels. Perhaps I'm spoiled because I really enjoy staying at nice hotels. I knew the hotel was old so I expected pretty much what I got. The food was very good and if you are a "laid back and casual" person you might find this place very enjoyable.

Room Tip: Higher floors are quieter but you have to climb three flights of stairs.

“Old, Dated & Musty”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011

Was there for a family wedding. The room was tiny, A/C didn't really cool the room, shades didn't open so we couldn't enjoy the view or have fresh air.

The entire hotel has a musty smell to it.

“A lost gem, misunderstood by some and loved by us”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011

The view from the deck is superb, the bar is great and the restaurant is excellent and it is a shame that it has not been rated by Zagat. I do not think that the other restaurants at the island were better than this one. We felt transported in time. As a beach hotel, we never expected to find the same exact comforts of our home in Manhattan. However, the hotel was clean, staff helpful and place just wonderful. It was a perfect summer getaway from the Big Apple. We had stayed in other places in Shelter Island and felt scared of ticks and mosquitoes. At the Pridwin, we felt very safe. The wonderful selection of Brazilian relaxing music at the bar and lounge area was another good surprise.

Room Tip: Book in advance for an ocean view room. We stayed at the hotel, not at the cottages.
