    While originally looking for convenience as well as comfort because of family business in the area when I first stayed in August of 2011, I discovered I'd hit the jackpot for a B&B: not only a great bed, along with convenience, comfort, ambiance, charming and accommodating hosts in Sandy and Ron, but also...fantastic breakfasts by Sandy. I'd brought my running shoes so was able to work off some of those scones, eggs, waffles etc by running down and along the beach, which is close by. I have since been there several more times in the fall and most recently January 2012. My children and brother also have enjoyed their stays. We all appreciate Sandy and Ron's local knowledge and contacts as well as the peacefulness of having a quiet cup of coffee on the back deck in the morning while watching all the birds coming to the feeders in the lovely garden. I have stayed in several of the rooms at this point, and each has been charming with a great view of Plymouth Bay. The B&B is located along a stretch of Warren Ave that has many lovely historic homes.

    Our party of four stayed in the top floor apartment with our own bathroom and magnificent views of the ocean. Pros: free Internet, great breakfast (I still wish I had the recipe for the almond tart!), spacious rooms with beautiful furnishing, lovely innkeeper (thank you Sandy for your help with dinner and the useful hints what to do) Cons: you need to go back there :-)

    We very much enjoyed our stay at the Thornton Adams House last evening and today. The hospitality and atmosphere was great and Sandy even woke up early to make me breakfast before my big meeting today, thank you Sandy! We will definitely be staying there again in our travels. Luke

    My wife and I had a marvelous time at Above the Bay at Thornton Adams House. We have stayed at a few B&B's over the years but this was, by far, the best experience we have had. The house was quaint and we had a view of Plymouth bay from our window. Breakfast was outstanding starting with hot tea or coffee and juice followed by the main course. The table setting was exquisite with a view into her back yard garden where we saw wild turkeys, rabbits, squirrels and birds. The best part of our experience, however, was meeting Sandy. We were there for 7 days and each day was outstanding. My wife loved it so much she wants to sell everything and move to Plymouth! If you have never stayed in a B&B before, you should know that much of the experience depends on the person(s) running it. In all of our B&B experiences we have never met anyone more gracious than Sandy. She was dedicated to ensuring that our visit was enjoyable and memorable. When in the New England area, we will not stay anywhere else.
