We booked the entire inn for guests at our daughter's wedding last summer. Most guests had never visited Nantucket before. People were overwhelmingly positive in their comments to us.....Many of our guests were from the Midwestern U.S. and were a bit wary of Nantucket, thinking it might be expensive and/or elitist. They found the Barnacle Inn to be comfortable, a... more

Although reasonably priced compared to other inns on the island, we would not look forward to staying there again. Sue, the innkeeper, was friendly at first, but made rude comments to us throughout our stay. The breakfast was very good, but our rooms were never cleaned. (Although she asked us to give the maids a tip leaving us feeling extremely... more

We stayed here for two nights in July and loved it. The establishment was so clearly well-run and everything was great. We had a king-size room that was huge, and certainly didn't miss the TV. I read another review that mentioned thin walls and so on, but our room had no such problem. Great location too - just like 100... more

On an island of over-consumption, over-building and overly priced EVERYTHING The Barnacle Inn is the exact opposite. It's a quiet family owned 40+ year-old establishment that truly captures all there is to love about Nantucket (minus the Land Rovers). The location could not be more perfect (right off the top of Main Street), and the staff feels more like friends... more

The Barnacle Inn is a lovely family run place on Fair Street in Nantucket. (The church across the street is St. Paul's, not St. Mary's. Be sure to stop into St. Paul's to see the Tiffany windows!) The owners, Phil and Susie, are great hosts - very warm and friendly people. This inn is "old Nantucket" at its most charming,... more

Folks - ACK will always be expensive, but when you receive cordial arrival greetings, it is a keeper. The Barnacle Inn is the greatest - if you want a simple room, tasty, fresh and luxurious breakfast. delivered to the outside patio - you will find your best value here. And if you want to share a bathroom and save $100... more

This is by far the best place on the island. The owners are the most realistic, down to earth people around. The inn has a very loyal following. Most who you meet have stayed here many times in the past. Simply the BEST on the island. more

My faimly and I have stayed at the Barnacle for thirty years. Nantucket has changed, but not the Inn, which remains a quaint, spacious alternative to other places in town. It is set off Fair Street opposite the beautiful St. Mary's Church. The front porch is ideal for relaxing and enjoying a continental breakfast each morning served on china, and... more

I have stayed at the Barnicle Inn several times and have been extremely pleased each time. It's location is wonderful..............close enough for an easy walk from the ferry when you arrive laden with luggage. Yet, it's also off the main street traffic and is in a quiet location. Sue and Phil, the owners, are warm and friendly people and do... more
