I have been visiting Nantucket for much of my life, one or more visits per year for over 22 years. Being exceptionally knowledgeable about Nantucket and what it holds I can tell you hands down that this is the place to call your home away from home when you visit this beautiful island 30 miles out to sea. Nantucket is... More

Happily, we stumbled onto this inn! Very homey with everything you need. Slept like a baby in the comfortable beds. Greeted in the mornings with a beautiful homemade breakfast which included freshly caught(by the innkeeper) Nantucket bay scallops served in their shell with a wedge of lemon, alongside a colorfully decorated napkin wrapped around a surprise assortment of freshly baked...

Great location on a quiet side street just one street away from the centre. Very friendly owners. We had a nice sized room with a comfortable bed. The bathroom was nice, a bit rustic but clean. Would certainly recommend to friends.

The Barnacle is located just off upper Main Street near the center of Nantucket in a prime location. If you don't need a high end hotel or inn, this is a great choice as the prices are very reasonable. The innkeepers are very friendly and accomodating and the rooms are comfortable and clean. The guests are served an excellent breakfast... More

Although I did not stay here, after reading the following comments, I hope to visit one day! "When planning a visit to Nantucket, we were first impressed with how... More

The B&B is located on Fair Street two blocks from the historic downtown. Fair Street is a lovely brick street, beautifully landscaped, and historic white homes. The B&B is located across from the Episcopal Church, and the church is worth peeking into due to it Tiffany’s windows. Every hour on the hour, one hears the lovely church bells. The daughter-in-law... More

I discovered The Barnacle Inn in thirty years ago when from the hotel next door I spotted the wonderful garden filled with guests enjoying their delicious breakfast trays. Needless to say, that was it for me and I have been staying there ever since. It's like visiting your favorite aunt at her welcoming, sunny, casual summer place, steps away from... More

It was perfect! Suzie and Phil, the owners, were so welcoming and helpful to us from beginning to end. The Inn was clean and comfortable and a perfect location just a few minutes walk from the centre of town. We were given two rooms with a small private bathroom between them, which was perfect for our family of four. The... More

I recently stayed at the Barnacle Inn and it was a wonderful experience. The inn serves you breakfast on a big tray outside on the beautiful patios and gardens. This is so wonderful to have your breakfast delivered instead of having to stand around a table and jockey for space in front of a toaster and coffee maker. The breakfast... More
