Great
Charming and quaint hotel and room. Would definitely stay again. Minor feedback would be to suggest ensuring that there are mirrors added to the room itself. There was only one mirror and it was located in the bathroom. Made it a bit challenging to get ready.

The employees at this property went above and beyond to make our stay absolutely perfect. Our room was on the third floor, no elevator, stairs only. In Nantucket we expected to walk a lot so this was not an issue for us. Our room was beautiful, clean and well maintained. It was my 63rd birthday and a complimentary bottle of champagne chilling in an ice bucket, a box of Artisan chocolate and a birthday card were waiting for me in my room. It was so thoughtful of staff to do that. The staff were always corteous and very helpful with our questions. So happy we stayed here. I hoghly recommend this nostalgic hotel to anyone looking to be completely satisfied with their stay!! Well done Faraway staff!

So cute! Where's the rest of our sink?
Cute hotel and room, plenty of space. Great location, staff was lovely. Was very confused about our bathroom sink. Couldn't wash our faces in it.

This hotel is so cute! It has an excellent restaurant, Sister Ship, right on property, which was one of our best meals on the island. Spent a lovely afternoon reading on their covered porch in their adorable courtyard. Staff was all friendly and quick to respond to requests. 10/10!

This property has no lobby. The check in is a hallway in the front of the hotel.
The employees are not very friendly and should be, because you’re paying a premium price.
The common areas and courtyards are beautiful and well appointed, and the location is very good.
Overall, I was underwhelmed with the Faraway
Nantucket.
