Amazing breakfast and just overall cozy feel of the place. Can’t ask for anything more and right in the heart of downtown Nantucket. We had a wonderful trip and the Barnacle Inn was a major reason why!
The Barnacle Inn was so quaint. The breakfast was amazing! The staff was super friendly! It is a short walk to downtown shopping and stores. I definitely recommend.
We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was the best place we ever could have chosen. Suzie is the best, she was extremely kind, helpful, and really cares about her guests. The breakfast was always fresh and it was delicious, every single person on the staff was friendly and kind. I can not recommend the Barnacle Inn enough!
Had a lovely stay at The Barnacle Inn. Room was comfortable and had all amenities. Breakfast in the morning in the front of the property was beautiful and relaxing. Perfect location as you can be right in two within minutes. Will absolutely return our next trip to the island!
The management is superb, so eager to be helpful! The Inn was super clean and provided beach towels, chairs, in addition to a lovely breakfast, iced water, coffee and tea all day, plus evening cookies
There are games and maps in the lobby
Extremely good location, close to all downtown as well as the bus terminal
We had a wonderful stay at The Barnacle Inn. The staff was so pleasant and helpful. Chocolate chip cookies in the foyer when you arrive and an amazing breakfast each morning. Convenient location - you can walk from the ferry, to town, all of the restaurants and shops. Will be back!
Suzie, Phil and everyone were amazing. We really loved the breakfast in the mornings. Great location just feet from Main Street. My kids loved cookie time. Would recommend 10 out of 10.
Our host Susie could not have been more sweet! The Barnacle Inn is cozy and makes you feel at home. Kind of makes you feel like you’re visiting family that has a beautiful house in Nantucket. We found it to be quiet and soundproofed. Warm cookies in the afternoon is a nice touch!
Open windows in our room, letting a nice cool breeze. Although air-conditioning is available. The location is perfect. Just a short walk to downtown plenty of restaurants and shopping. Not far from where the wave. (Public transportation) Drops you off and pick you up To visit many sites on the island.
It was clean, comfortable, relaxed and everyone was very friendly. All the guests said hello in passing and it felt very comfortable and safe for a solo woman traveling for business. I stayed extra days too!
A warm personal greeting on arrival with all pertinent info and key in an envelope. Beautiful breakfast every morning, protein fruit, coffee and warm pastries served on a tray to eat inside or outside. Convenient to activities.
