The Carlisle House Inn is as charming during the "off-season" as it is in the summer months. My husband and I brought my eighty-five-year-old mother to the island to visit friends in November, and we stayed at the Inn for the weekend. My mother was able to stay in the first-floor room, which was perfect for her, and my husband... more

This was my first weekend trip to Nantucket and I was very excited. Based on a recommendation from a mutual friend, we booked the Carlisle House Inn without doing much research. Upon arrival, we had to ring the bell 3 times before anyone came to check us in. Because we were getting in later at night (9pm), I had called... more

We are frequent visitors to Nantucket, and have stayed at different B&B and Inns on each of our visits. We found the Carlisle House to be a nice establishment with a gracious host and an extremely convenient location in the downtown district. The inn was exactly as pictured on their website and as described. When we arrived early in the... more

Charming B&B, close to town,great breakfast, quiet at night, comfortable bed. Heather, the owner couldn't have been more helpful. We meet wonderful people at breakfast and the Saturday wine and cheese gathering where Heather also joined us and had lots of suggestions for meals and activities. more

Well. Let me start out by saying we LOVED Nantucket. What a great little place to relax. As for this particular B&B. Not so much. Ill break this down by good and bads to keep it easy to read. The Good: Location is wonderful. Short walk from the dock. Authentic Old House Owner did small load of laundry for us... more

We strive to provide friendly, helpful service, to be responsive to all guest requests, and to respect our guests' privacy. We regret that this couple was not delighted with their stay, and wish they had let us know during the several times we spoke together during their two-day visit. It is true that we do not rent bikes due to...

I was delighted with my stay at this lovely Nantucket B and B on North Water St. It was a short walk from the ferry, the front door is always open. My second floor room was small but suitable for one. It was charming and clean with an air conditioner, cable tv and free internet access. I enjoyed talking with... more

Not a good experience in all aspects. Cob webs, falling wall paper, terrible breakfest, and not the cleanest. Six nights to long. I will contact american express also. more

Our goal at The Carlisle House Inn is to live up to very high standards of hospitality, cleanliness and value. We are sorry that this guest was unhappy, despite the additional personal services we provided, such as doing their personal laundry and providing extra evening snacks. The corner piece of wallpaper behind the bathroom door in the room they occupied...

We decided to go to Nantucket last minute for a quick get away and I checked out the hotel web site. It very accurately described the room and the availability chart was accurate as well. The room we stayed in was a suite and was spacious and private. It was perfect and clean. The bed was comfortable, two tvs and... more

With all kids in camp, my wife and I sought out an inexpensive, by Nantucket standards, quick get away. We found value in the Carlisle House. I did a lot of online research, including trip advisor, to find a place that accepted 2 nights midweek with all the charm of Nantucket and location convenience. I can say we found it... more

The Carlisle House Inn was one of the few places that would accept a two-night reservation (most required 4 or more nights) and we had read ok things about it. The owner is nice and her children--mostly her teen daughter is friendly as well. The house has steep staircases that reach the various rooms, and we were on the third... more
