The Century House is a very well run, clean and comfortable B&B in a very convenient location in Nantucket with only a short walk into town. I would definitely stay there again on my next trip to Nantucket. More

The Inn is beautiful and was put together with care. There are pictures everywhere and Jean explained to us that each had a special meaning behind them. We saw various people sitting relaxing and reading in the cozy sitting room that seemed to have a baked treat waiting daily. There are books everywhere and hundreds of DVDs that you can... More

Situated on picturesque Cliff Road,Century House is furnished with period antiques and has more books than many small libraries. JeanE and Jerry (the owners) are hospitable and engaging.. The entire staff is friendly and responsive. Our room was nicely furnished and the bathroom was not only spotless but completely updated. Breakfast was truly outstanding with a wide array of high...

I recently booked a room at Century House in nantucket thru nantucketaccomodations who quoted the room rate but didn't add on their fees as well as taxes. Oh well. The Berry room is first floor so lots of traffic coming in and out Gerry has a sign on the door asking people to close gently but that's prettywell ignored. the... More

My wife and I made our first trip to Nantucket in late July. Based on reviews and reputation we stayed at the Century House. Overall it was a very good experience. A main draw to Nantucket are the historical homes. Staying in the CH, 175 years old, definitely added to the sense of experiencing old Nantucket. Our room was very... More

I stayed at Century House again this year. Why would I go anywhere else? This B&B is pristine, charming and in the perfect location. It's an easy walk to town, the wharf, or the beach. Jean E, Gerry and Otilia make certain your stay goes smoothly. They give wonderful suggestions for restaurants! My room-Partridge Berry- was absolutely gorgeous!(-don't try booking... More

It's been said that there's no place like home, well, no so true if you're at Century House! The beds just may be more comfortable than what you have at home. I have never seen an array of fresh berries and fruits for breakfast along with a granola recipe discovered by the innkeepers themselves. Hats off to Gerry, JeanEllen and... More

The location is excellent. It's about six blocks from the center of town and about six blocks from Jetties Beach. Service is excellent. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Your hosts, Jerry and Jean, serve a lovely breakfast and I dream about the bread. Books abound and you are welcome to not only read them but take them home. I... More

Late review, but my wife and I stayed at the Century House for an extended weekend last September. I searched Trip Advisor, and given that I made plans last minute, I was pleasantly surprised to find the Century House available. I spoke with JeanE, one of the innkeepers at length, and she was extremely outgoing and helpful in selecting a... More

The owners were rude. Never introduced themselves. The breakfast was bland and the worst example of a continental breakfast I have ever seen. The room small and dusty. We were going to stay another night but left and found a better B&B in town. Don't waste your time or money on this place. The owners are odd. More
