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!
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!
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.
