    beautiful decor
    quality food
    cramped room
    broken bathroom cabinet
    dirty sheets

    The restaurant and bar offered beautiful decor and quality food, with a standout Welsh pastry that was delightful. However, the attic room in the Manor house was a letdown. Additionally, noise from other guests and a lack of privacy made the experience uncomfortable.

    charming decor
    outdoor courtyard
    cozy vibe
    sparse room

    Charming decor and cozy vibe caught my eye upon entering this place. The outdoor courtyard provided a great spot for relaxation, perfectly located for easy access to nearby shops and restaurants.

    The room felt a bit too sparse for the price, with minimal amenities that left me wanting more—an in-room coffee maker and some extra blankets would have made a difference. Check-in time at 4 PM felt overly late, especially when the lobby setup doesn't provide much information. The lack of restaurant service during off-peak days means stocking up on provisions is a must—definitely not ideal for a weekend getaway. Also, I noticed some layout quirks. it might be a tad cramped if you're not used to more intimate spaces.

    live music
    convenient area
    light breakfast
    rental bicycles

    Had a great time with friends! We enjoyed live music at the local theater and checked out the Nantucket Atheneum. The area is convenient, and the light breakfast was a nice touch. Just a heads up, the luggage storage isn't the most secure if you're planning to leave your bags after check-out.

    The bike rentals were a disappointment. One had a flat tire, and the other had loose handlebars, which prevented us from exploring the area on two wheels.

    I had a lovely stay at Faraway Nantucket! The outdoor courtyard adorned with vibrant flowers was a peaceful retreat. My spacious Standard King room was beautifully decorated and offered easy access, making it perfect for me as a senior traveler.

    I had a bit of a mixed experience, thankfully the decor was beautiful and the breakfast was simple yet satisfying! Unfortunately, my room was uncomfortable and humid.
