Overlooking the beautiful village pond The Hedges Inn is an East Hampton, New York landmark. Home to the famous swans that, like our special guests, return year after year. This exclusive enclave is around the corner from world-class beaches, nestled among East Hampton's legendary estates and just steps from the Village. Built in the 1800’s and recently renovated to the highest standards, The Hedges Inn strikes the perfect balance between sophisticated luxury and unpretentious seaside charm. We invite you to enjoy not just the intimacy of your rooms, but to take advantage of our entire house as if it was your own. The Hedges Inn. "Your home in the Hampton's."

I stayed for a week last month and had a wonderful stay. The grounds and house are beautiful, location was perfect for me as I love the walk to Main Beach along Ocean Avenue and this is the closest B & B to Main Beach (about a mile walk which I do not mind as its one of the most beautiful walks to a beach in the U.S. ) Jenny and her staff are friendly, attentive and made my stay like a home away from home. I felt like one of the family! The house is well appointed with spacious living rooms, studies for relaxing, working or enjoying a glass of wine after the beach and an honor system bar which I appreciate (they are counting on the trustworthiness of their guests). What hotel would ever allow you to serve yourself at the bar and without some form of payment? The room was plenty for me and the decor was lovely with a beach theme. Entire property is immaculate, spotless clean. Breakfast everyday was exellent and Jenny makes sure there is something for everyone. Yogurt, fresh fruit, wonderful berries, smoked salmon, bagels, pastry and a choice of one of Jenny's delicious entrees. The casserole of eggs caprisse was delicious. Overall, a great stay and sad to leave. Will be back very soon. I love East Hampton and have been coming out for 20+ years. All my best to Jenny and staff and Love to EH!

We stayed here three nights over a fall weekend and were very pleased. The Inn was full two nights and everything with the C-virus was handled well. We especially noticed both the very good water pressure and the plentiful hot water. Wifi and TV were both good and we liked that the #1 FOX News Channel was included.
Of special note were the delicious hot breakfast specials served each day, truly "gourmet". The entire staff was helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.

This was our first hotel stay/ weekend escape from the city since Covid began and it was absolutely wonderful. Jenny was a fabulous host and was super helpful with recommendations in the East Hampton area. The breakfast was still really yummy even with the covid restrictions and everything was super clean/ individualized so there was no concern about sharing germs. We felt that the rooms and common areas were really clean and had no concerns from a health perspective. If the Hedges Inn was this good of an experience during a pandemic, we will definitely be be back!

We had high hopes for our weekend at the Hedges Inn after reading wonderful reviews but ended up very disappointed. While the inn is lovely and the location is great, the service was sub par. We arrived at the check in time of 3 pm, allowing ourselves time we needed to rest a bit after traveling, and to shower and dress for an event at 5 pm. Our room was not ready and while we understand the challenge of being short staffed, it was not ready until 4:30 pm! In addition, at check in we told the receptionist that we would be departing at 5:30 am on Sunday and asked if we could have a “to go” breakfast packed. She assured us that she would contact the manager and thought that was doable but we never heard another word about it. We did have breakfast “in house” on Saturday morning and again short staffing was clearly a problem. We arrived at the start time of 8:30 am and very little of the buffet was set up. We appreciate that the person on duty was doing his best but honestly at the rates for a stay at the Hedges the short staffing issues were unacceptable to us.

My brother & I planned a surprise 50th Anniversary Cocktail party for our parents at The Hedges which occurred this evening - and it completely exceeded our expectations. Not only were our parents surprised, but Jenny & her tema were in constant communication with us from the start of the planning, 4 months ago. Open bar, passed apps and a raw bar to perfection, plus the venue was absolutely perfect for the 45 guests who attended. The indoor and outdoor spaces were beautiful and we were allowed to decorate as we desired. Its was a night that numbers in the the Top Ten for us as a family and we have Jenny and The Hedges Inn to thank for that. We are so grateful for the memories made at the evening that ensued. Forever indebted, and pleased. Bravo Hedges. Bravo!

The Hedges Inn is absolutely lovely. We stayed for a long weekend in September. No crowds, the beach to ourselves and a great experience at the Hedges. Jenny and company do a fabulous job. Everything was spotless and they have anticipated all your needs i.e. beach towels, beach chairs, bikes etc. We had a small kitchenette in our very comfortable room with a private bath. Delicious continental breakfast. The grounds are so well maintained. Overall, a top-notch experience!

There aren't enough words to describe how wonderful our first stay was at the Hedges Inn. Every aspect of this place - the food, the host (Jenny is so wonderful, helpful and accommodating!), the room, the overall hospitality and vibe, and just right down to each and every detail in/around the Inn - far exceeded my expectations in a comfortable, yet elevated way. Our stay was so pleasant. I would wholeheartedly recommend someone to stay at the Hedges Inn, and we are definitely looking for reasons to return and stay longer!

Great service! The staff is awesome! One person was better than the next. The breakfast was fantastic, and eating out in the courtyard was magical! I met Adam who is in charge of the bar and can’t wait to have dinner at the new restaurant here next week!!!!

Avoid The Hedges Inn if there is any uncertainty in your travel plans. The reservation 'policy' seems to evolve and always favors the Inn. They charged for room reservations which weren't made and ran credit card charges for additional rooms/nights despite knowing we wanted to modify the reservation. But the worst part was the Innkeeper/GM herself. Unhelpful, unorganized, and nasty when dealing with reservation/business issues.

Responded Jun 6, 2017
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. The Hedges Inn is under new management! As such, all policies, reservation protocol, deposit schedules etc. have been reviewed and adjusted. On a more personal note, I am sorry that your experience here was such an unpleasant one. We are focused on providing a warm and inviting home for people visiting The Hamptons, and I would love the opportunity, should you ever come back out east, to show you what The Hedges is all about. Please reach out if you are ever in the area again.

The Hedges cancelled my reservation without notifying me . I called them the day of my check-in to request a late check-out and they told me my reservation had been cancelled! They never sent me an email regarding this and told me that that I could not stay with them. Don't ever stay here - they could just arbitrarily cancel your reservation too!

Response from annclarke70, Manager at The Hedges Inn
Responded Oct 1, 2012
After eight unpleasant phone calls from this reviewer in the course of a couple hours the review comes as no surprise. However when the inn receives a call after a reservation is made and the caller identifies themselves as the personal assistant to the person booked, has the reservation numbers, dates and other pertinent information and tells us they need to cancel, well - we cancel the reservation! It was also fully refunded although it was within the 30 day non refundable policy. If this was a mix up in the 'other house' we cannot be held accountable. It is our goal to book reservations certainly not to arbitrarily cancel them! It's unfortunate it happened.
