We chose Century House for the third time and can say again that we made a good choice. We travel to Europe every year and have visited many countries and places; and Nantucket Island is one of our favorite destinations! Century House is beautiful, private, and most of all relaxing. Our room, White Narcisus was spotless. Always nice to see innkeeper Gerry! He has great suggestions for restaurants and things to do. Don't forget the chocolate chip cookies when you're there.

Our room - Daylily -shared a very thin wall with the room next door. Normal conversations were heard, "into the night." We choose this room at the recommendation of the person taking out initial phone call: We would have paid more for a more private room. Breakfast was excellent. Staff was friendly and attentive. Emailed questions were never replied to. You must call to get answers.

Century House is a beautiful b and b. We love art so the collection of wall paintings hanging all over the inn was impressive. Location wise it was very accessible to the town area and restaurants. Our getaway was everything we had hoped for . We were mainly looking to have a relaxing time away. It rained, but we enjoyed our king-sized room. Comfortable bed, cheerful decor, and open windows where we could hear the rain drops. It was fun laying around, watching movies, drinking hot chocolate and having too many cookies- a perfect snack every afternoon. Although we had wished for less rain, we had a chance to relax. We still fell in love with the charming ambiance of the Century House and the island and we'll definitely return. Donald and Elizabeth
