The hotel is impeccably designed and the rooms are spacious to accommodate family stays. The hotel staff did not seem knowledgeable about the hotel itself and were not able to answer basic questions readily; also, no one answers the phone number when calling the main line.

A must-stay in Edgartown!

The Faraway is absolutely delightful. The rooms are beautifully decorated and from the second you walk in, the signature scent is relaxing and comforting. The pool and fire pit are beautiful and the perfect place to spend a few hours. We loved the location—just a few steps from shopping, dining, and the water. A must-stay in Edgartown!
