This was a great place to stay. It was close to town so we could walk everywhere. It was very comfortable and Nate was great with giving us information about the island.
Adorable inn right in the center of town. Great location, easy to walk to the shops and restaurants. Nate the proprietor goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. The breakfast (quiche, fresh fruit, yogurt, pastries, granola) every morning is a nice perk and made
We really enjoyed our stay at the Anchor Inn. Nate was great, very accommodating and helping our daughte rfind a quiet spot to study for her upcoming exams while we were there. He was full of information and the breakfast offering was a very nice compliment
The Anchor Inn is a great small hotel/bed and breakfast, located in easy walking distance to most sites. Natte, the caretaker, was awesome, answered all our questions and makes the best quiche! We will definitely tell all our friends about this place, and when we go back to Nantucket, we will stay here again!
The location is central but not right in the middle of all the noise and foot traffic. Room was accommodating and all the decor updates were appealing. Plenty of seating in and outside to enjoy quiet street. Nice and clean. Cont. B'fast of fruits, muffins and coffee, juice. Nate is a friendly and accommodating host!
We so enjoyed our stay at the Anchor Inn! The location is very walkable to many hot spots downtown. Nate, the inn keeper, was very amenable. He was communicative and offered us many ideas for excursions and dining.
Nate was super nice and helpful with all of his island suggestions and experiences. He was always available and responsive whether by phone or in-person. Would definitely stay here again.
Our stay at a vintage Nantucket Inn was not only a walk back in history - but an absolute delight. We appreciated the beautifully made beds and luxurious linens, as well as the availability of beach chairs and beach towels - also soft and luxurious!
We were on a girls' weekend and we loved staying at the Anchor Inn. Nate and his staff were great and gave us great ideas of where to eat and what to do.
The Inn was charming and very comfortable. We really enjoyed being able to sit in the living room after a long day of fun. Also, the quality of the bedding and towels was top of the line.

Excellent location with easy access to town. Friendly and hospitable staff.
Breakfast was disappointing on most days. Minimal and seemed store-bought

This was a lovely place to stay for Stroll. Everything is walkable, and while the room we stayed in was small, it was fine for 2 people. It’s an old house so that’s to be expected. Breakfast was nice, and while I am not a coffee drinker, the smell of a fresh pot was a lovely was to wake up in the morning. Staff is friendly and accommodating.
Amazing two night stay at the Anchor Inn. We had the Knowles room which was in the front of the property, great sunlight and views of the street and the side patio. Stayed with my boyfriend and the room was extremely spacious. Comfortable bed, friendly staff, amazing location. Quiet and quaint. Room had powerful AC and nice features with a sitting area and closet. we will be back next summer for sure!
The room was fabulous and the housekeeping impeccable. The breakfasts were amazing - bagels, yogurt, melon, strawberries, cereal. The showers were tiny - don't drop the soap, as you will have to get out of the shower to pick it up! But this is probably standard for these very old and historic homes. The proprieter was perfect - very helpful but never intrusive.
