The owner was very nice and accommodating. Our room was decorated beautifully and very clean. We loved using the bikes provided to us to ride the trail behind the B&B and it was only a 2.5 mile ride to a beach. Everything was close including transportation to the ferry over to Martha's Vineyard, Cape Cod winery, and other restaurants and shops. Very beautiful bed and breakfast and we will definitely return!!

The inn was fine for our purpose to be close to the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard. Room was very nice. Pillows were flat which is a big no no for me. Could hear someone snoring in the house. Situated on a very busy road but the inn has a fabulous bike path right in the back yard.

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.
