In addition to our stay at this property this August 2008, we also stayed here in July 2007 when it had a different owner. It felt friendlier then and the home made items tasted really home made. The breakfasts this time were only fair and you could not help yourself to the freshly prepared items which made it uncomfortable if... more

"If we'd only known", how much more friendly and accommodating we could have been to this guest. Our apologies for missing our goal of providing enjoyment and comfort to each of our guests. If you drink decaf coffee, prefer 3 muffins, would appreciate extra pillows, or need a taxi to the airport, we'd like to know because we aren't the...

Just returned from a stay in Room 4 (chosen because of another reviewers comments), and can report almost all positives. The linens were exquisite, the full bath had great hot water, and it was roomy and carefully decorated to the period. Needless to say, it was perfectly clean and there was not a spot of wear and tear. For the... more

We have recently returned from 4 nights on Nantucket at the Sherburne Inn, our first time ever in a Nantucket B&B. While experienced travelers to Nantucket, we have typically preferred the hotel experience offered by the White Elephant and the old Harbour House. However, given the Elephant's rather pricey rooms this year, we opted to try a B & B,... more

My wife and I have stayed at the Inn each of the last several Thanksgivings. When we called this morning to book once again, I was surprised to hear that the Inn had been sold. To my greater surprise, the new owners had increased the fee for the room we usually booked by 50%! So ... I just booked a... more

My husband and I were pleased that the Sherburne Inn met with our expectations - an attractive, quiet, clean B&B. Lovely in every way. The housekeeping staff is particularly friendly. The owners were extremely helpful in assisting us with our Nantucket sightseeing. We very much enjoyed the Sherburne. It's a wonderful property. (Room 4 - a nice size room with... more

This was my second time staying at the Sherburne Inn, which really says something, as I've stayed at so many places on Nantucket through the years. New owners Sue and John Daniels have kept the friendly, intimate, civilized feel of the place. Rooms/bathrooms are very clean/comfortable/cheerful. Common areas, including the outdoor deck and lovely yard, are inviting for relaxation. The... more

The Sherburne is in a great location on a quiet back street a short walk from Nantucket’s Main Street. We had rooms 4 and 8 (room 8 is the only room enjoying its own balcony and is situated directly above room 4) at the back of the Inn. There is a little patio area on the ground floor adjacent to... more

My friend and I had the opportunity to stay at the Sherburne Inn for two nights in July. The inn is extremely accessible to the wonderful shops and galleries in Nantucket and away from the street "traffic" that could potentially be noisy after a day of sightseeing and shopping. The rooms we stayed in were very clean, neat, and nicely... more

I thoroughly enjoyed my recent stay at the Sherburne Inn. The Inn is lovely, the guest rooms are attractively decorated and comfortable. The weather was quite warm and the air conditioning was a real treat. The location is very convenient to the beach, museums, shopping, and restaurants, and the innkeepers are very helpful. I'm sure to stay there on my... more

Generally speaking, my husband and I would never choose to stay at a B&B or an "inn" over a hotel. We prefer the anonymity and amenities of larger establishments over small talk in a 'breakfast room.' In Nantucket, however, B&Bs and Inns are almost impossible to avoid. There are only a few bona fide "hotels" on the island, two of... more
