My husband and I were to be married in a private ceremony on Nantucket, and our small group stayed at the Anchor Inn; we couldn't be happier with our choice of accommodations. Dennis was friendly, gracious and thoroughly accommodating... especially when the skies decided to open up and our venue of choice was rained out. We moved our very small... More

My husband and I came to Nantucket to celebrate our 20th anniversary, and we were not disappointed in the Anchor Inn or in Nantucket. Nantucket can be quite expensive, but staying there does not need to be. Though simple (in the most charming sense of the word), staying at the inn feels as though one is staying at a real... More

We first stayed at Anchor Inn some thirty years ago and liked it for its location, cleanliness, friendly proprietors and excellent home baked muffins. And now we can report that it still is the same friendly, well-run inn and the muffins are still delicious. Some of the rooms are bigger than others. The first time we had stayed in a... More

We've stayed on Nantucket many times before, but this was our first time at the Anchor Inn. The location was great, right in town, but on a quieter side street. History buffs will love the old whaling house, which dates back to the 1700's I believe. Being an older house, hallways, doorways, and rooms seemed on the smaller side. The... More

I know Nantucket pretty well & have stayed a lot of places on the island, but this was the first time for the Anchor Inn. It is a pretty place & I can only attest for our room & the downstairs & outside. The Morning star room is on the 1st floor, not huge, but not small, rather small bathroom... More

I echo everything in the previous review. This is a lovely inn. We stayed in the Tucker room. It has windows on three sides, and we enjoyed the great breezes, and the smell of nearby flowering trees. The bed was comfortable. This inn has a great location, about a block behind the Jared Coffin House. The innkeepers are very friendly... More

My husband and I spent two nights here in early May and were very satisfied. Since our room was available, Heather let us check in early, which was fantastic. We stayed in the cheerful Tucker room, which we liked because of its privacy. It even has its own staircase and a small balcony/sitting area with two chairs, nothing fancy but... More

We booked the Anchor Inn based on Tripadvisor reviews, and we were not disappointed. Heather & Dennis, the Innkeepers, were excellent, very friendly and professional. the room was great, as were the breakfasts. The Inn is very well located, just a short, and very picturesque walk to the town centre & harbour. The price was very reasonable - I suspect... More

my husband and I just spent a day on Nantucket and stayed at the Anchor Inn. The main reason I picked this location was the price, it was significantly less than the other locations I looked at. We stayed in the Platina Room which is located on the second floor. You need to go up a narrow steep set of... More

This was our second visit to Nantucket in two years and stayed at this lovely Inn which is just a short walk to downtown restaurants and shopping. The innkeepers were wonderful - our room was lovely - the public areas (especially the side yard) were very inviting. The Inn is located on a quiet street about a 10 minute walk... More
