Our host was gracious and upgraded our room. Wonderful stay. Used the free bikes to get around and loved the area. Breakfast was adequate but felt the up charge for a hot breakfast was excessive so didn’t choose the option.

The place was amazingly beautiful, very clean, they were very organized, we arrived late and they left a note in the front desk with information, that was good. The only thing we would it want to know in anticipation is about the “free breakfast” because it was only “Fruits, some pastry, juice, water and coffee”, it you wanted to have eggs or anything else you had to pay $20 the plate, so technically it wasn’t fully free. Other than that the place is amazing and I highly recommend it.

House was very nice, clean, and the host was very attentive. Would have rated it higher but the king bed was uncomfortable (the mattress had a high spot in the middle and sags on both sides) and the shower was too small (it was in a small tub with a curtain on all sides that stuck to me while I was showering)

Cute but cramped

We arrived late and there way a note with instructions. The manager was nice and friendly and told us to text her if we needed anything. We went to room and couldn’t get TV to work (on election night). Texted with no reply so we watched on our phones. The room was cute but very cramped. You could also hear the other guests in the hallway. The breakfast was nice.

Nice Owner

It was a cute B&B. The owner was not there when we arrived but I left her a message and she called back and gave me walking directions to the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard. She also recommended a great restaurant for dinner. The dining room fir breakfast was nice and she gave us information about the house and neighborhood. The outside was nice with tables and would be nice in the summer.
