Sherburne Inn

We spent two nights here. The Sherburne is one of three Nantucket inns run by the Nantucket Resort Collection. The price of these three inns is generally less than most other of the B & B's/inns on the island, so we were initially concerned that the quality would not be up to par. We were dead wrong. The Sherburne was a very good place to stay. It's on a very quiet street less than a 10 minute walk from the ferry, and within a 10 minute walk from most of the island's top rated restaurants. Our good-sized king room was on the second (top) floor of the historic house. The innkeeper (Kara) will help with carrying luggage up the stairs. One of the best features of our room was that it had a small porch directly off the room. It was lovely to sit out there on two nice Fall days. The room had a ceiling fan, large closet, and a fairly large flat screen TV. The bed is pretty high and a bit soft for us, but not a big issue. The bathroom was also good-sized, with a walk-in shower. Like most of the inns in Nantucket Town, parking is street only. A continental breakfast with lots of choices is served each morning (you can eat in the lobby or your room). Kara (innkeeper) does a great job. She's always there or within easy reach to answer questions, fix any issues, recommend restaurants, etc. Overall, we were really pleasantly surprised with how nice our stay was.

If you are thinking about booking a stay at the Sherburne Inn, do not hesitate - book it!! We were so impressed and pleased with this adorable inn. To start, the location was PERFECT. It's tucked away on a quiet street but minutes from all of the action downtown. All of our favorite restaurants and stores were under a 10 minute walk away. The inn has so much character and was recently remodeled so it feels clean, fresh and cozy. The common spaces are just lovely and we loved the outdoor seating areas that collected sunshine. Our room (the king petite) was impeccably clean, spacious and beautiful. We had a in-suite coffee maker, water, a steamer, plenty of hangers, a hair dryer and lovely restroom amenities - they have Malin + Goetz products. The towels, bedding and mattress all felt luxurious. There's a community refrigerator available, reading materials and an ice machine. They have beach chairs and towels. The daily continental breakfast was so lovely and had different items each day. They have coffee, tea, water, sodas and snacks available 24/7. In the evenings, they set out little treats for guests to enjoy. The manager of the inn, Kara, was truly such a JOY to speak with and made sure we had everything we needed. She felt like family and made our stay even more memorable. Overall, we were thrilled with the Sherburne Inn!! Can't recommend it enough. One thing to note, this is a bed and breakfast and not a "traditional hotel" - more of a cozy, home feel - which we loved!

My husband and I stayed at the Sherburne Inn on *** Street for 4 nights. I used TripAdvisor reviews and other guidebooks to look up possible accomodations in Nantucket. Sherburne Inn is a small historic inn (or bed and breakfast) with a fabulous location. We walked from the ferry and the inn was just outside the main town. Kara, the innkeeper, greeted us and showed us to our deluxe king room, located at the back of the property on the first floor. She showed us the layout of the inn - the common room, the location of the beach bags and complimentary beach towels for guests' use, and the various places where we could eat our included breakfast. They've thought of everything here: water carafe and coffee for the guests, a fridge in the common room with all kinds of drinks, snacks in a basket, etc. Our room also had a Keurig coffee pot and all the fixings, complimentary water, and a small guest fridge. Facility had great air conditioning that we could control. Guest robes were provided and stored in the closet. Kara asked us what we were planning and then suggested some sandwich shops, walks, beaches, transportation options, and restaurants. We made dinner reservations before we arrived; we used a combination of Opentable, Yelp, and Resy, and some needed to be booked 30 days before, a week before, etc. The restaurants we chose (Oran Mor, Ventuno, Queequegs, and Cru) were all terrific. We rented bikes from Young's Bikeshop for 3 days and were able to store them at the back of the property. We also used the island transport called the Wave to get to a number of spots ($3 each, one way). Stop looking at different lodging options and book this place now! Highly recommended for location, comfort, cleanliness, and of course, the kindness of the innkeeper, Kara! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful stay at the Sherburne Inn for our 40th Wedding Anniversary! Location: Perfect - just a couple of blocks from Main Street and the Harbor. An easy walk to the waterfront, restaurants, bike rentals, Shuttle stops, etc. Staff: Kara was an excellent host.... helpful, sweet, thoughtful, always anticipating guests needs. She greeted us like we were old friends and really made our stay enjoyable. Sharon with housekeeping was also friendly and very efficient. The Inn: Beautiful inside and out. We had a petite queen room and it was very comfortable. So clean and the bed/bedding were the most comfortable we have experienced travelling. Breakfast was very nice....a good selection each morning. We took our breakfast outside to eat daily. There was also a nice selection of water, snacks and a Keurig available in the parlor throughout the day. The Inn had backpack beach chairs, beach umbrellas, beach towels and totes available 24/7. Our stay at The Sherburne Inn made our first trip to Nantucket exceptional.

What a great addition to the Sherburne Inn! The new cottage is a real treat with private entrance, soft modern interiors, and a second outdoor shower! The cottage is a comfy architectural jewel! Kara and Cimone and staff are welcoming and wonderful hosts providing personal island tips and insights. This was our first trip to Nantucket and when we return, our first inn choice will be the Cottage at the Sherburne Inn.

The cottage at Sherburne was fantastic. Kara and Simone are so gracious, so warm. The room was appointed beyond all dreams. Warm, elegant and perfect location. The cottage is private but in the middle of the action. This is the place to stay.

The historic home is very central to everything that’s going on and the staff is absolutely exceptional at accommodating any needs you might have. We had a spectacular time there and will definitely return.

Just returned from a three night stay at the Sherburne. It is located a short walk from the docks and close to all of downtown. From the first contact with innkeeper Kara Russell at check in to saying goodbye, she always greeted us with a smile and showed interest in our activities and dining choices. We felt most welcomed and cared for. The smallish rooms were attractive and comfortable and very clean thanks to the longtime housekeeper, Sharon. Each morning Kara set up a lovely continental breakfast in the parlor, which always included a delicious baked goodie which she made! I recommend this inn wholeheartedly to travelers who want a small intimate lodging with a personal touch.

We could not have asked for a better experience on Nantucket! The location of this gorgeous Inn absolutely ideal, central to all restaurants and shops. The innkeeper Kara was above and beyond accommodating catering to our every need. The breakfasts were perfect and Kara even made freshly baked zucchini bread that was delicious. I’ve been going to Nantucket for years and this is by far the best experience I’ve had yet! I can’t wait to go back!
