Anchor Inn

A charming inn on Nantucket! I was absolutely impressed with how clean the rooms were. I have never seen a clearer bathroom in my life. Great location, short walk to town and the ferry. Has a place to park your bikes in the back. Friendly staff. I absolutely cannot wait to stay here again!

We had a great stay at the Anchor Inn! We appreciated the continental breakfast, beach chairs/towels, the fantastic location, and Nate’s hospitality. We also rented a Jeep from him one day and that was a welcome and convenient way to see more of the island. One request - we found the pillows very flat and uncomfortable - would be a welcome update. All in all we would definitely stay here again!

My husband had a couple of nights here. The room was nice enough and certainly clean. My issue was the outside area along with the breakfast. The outside areas were needing tidied up in a big way. Get rid of the old bike racks and deckchairs ( put them out of view)… tidy that area up! Cut back the hedge that you squeeze around to get to the rooms at the back… paint the steps/ decking and pop a nice door mat down. Make it more welcoming. We had a feeling of dread before we even entered our room! First impressions matter! My other observation was ‘breakfast’ This was where I felt that I had returned to the Youth Hostel experience. Yes… the quiche that came out was lovely. What about setting out the breakfast counter. Make cereals readily available, pop out jugs of orange juice and milk, pop the bagels/ muffins in a basket instead of having to open up packets and bags. Ditch the paper plates and plastic cutlery… it’s cheap and nasty. Individual portions of jam/ butter are better than communal jars where everyone is touching them. It wouldn’t take any money to improve this breakfast experience. Glasses and proper cups, napkins and coffee on tap… plus a tea box of different teas with hot water. Easy things to remedy. I’ve stayed in many Nantucket B and B’s and sadly this one was the poorest.
