    Could not recommend this lovely B&B enough! Sandy was warm, welcoming, gracious, and friendly. The room was beautiful and the bed especially comfortable. Sitting at the dining table or on the deck allows for a view of their beautiful yard and garden. Very nice to have breakfast while watching the hummingbirds and butterflies flitting about!

    A wonderful B&B experience

    January 22, 2013

    We stayed for a long weekend at the Thornton Adams House B&B and we had an absolutely wonderful experience. We got the jacuzzi room (highly recommend this room) that was so cozy and neat. The entire place was so welcoming. Sandy was incredibly welcoming and looked after us well - yummy breakfasts in the morning with some treats followed by helpful advice regarding the area and local restaurants/must-see's. We're definitely coming back to stay here again!

    My wife and I stayed here during Thanksgiving week. It was fabulous in every regard. You will not go wrong by staying here. We hope to return to Plymouth again some time, and we will stay at Thornton Adams when we do.

    Relaxing week-end

    November 12, 2012

    We had a wonderful week-end at the Thornton Adams House. Our room was lovely and cozy with a view of the ocean. Breakfasts were delicious and were served a little later than usual at our request. Sandy was very knowledgeable about where to go and what to see in the area. She recommended a couple of restaurants that were yummy. Would definitely go back.

    Would definitely return

    October 03, 2012

    We stayed two nights at Above the Bay in late August. Sandy was a wonderful host and breakfasts were impressive. She inquired about and was very accomodating with particular food requests. She was a wealth of knowledge about the area and provided numerous suggestions on restaurants, attractions and even routes to make our motorcyle ride even better. Plymouth and cities in the Cape should thank her for not only promoting the Cape, but taking such pride in wanting her guests to enjoy their time there as well. We really enjoyed talking with the other guests, including two couples from the UK. Would definitely make a return visit.

    Great Experience!

    September 09, 2012

    We were so fortunate to be in such a beautiful area for a holdiay weekend, which was definitely highlighted by our stay here. The house was beautiful, Sandy was so warm, welcoming and gracious, and her breakfasts were outstanding!

    Lovely

    August 26, 2012

    Nicely located a bit outside the downtown area, so it's quieter. There is a sidewalk on one side of the road all the way into town. It's a nice 30 minute walk. The rooms were very nice and clean; the beds were comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, and Sandy was a pleasant hostess. I highly recommend this B&B.

    Great B&B!

    July 05, 2012

    Fantastic B&B! The house is lovely and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. Would definitely visit again and recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Plymouth. Sandy is lovely and a really great cook and we loved Madison the dog! Thanks for a great stay.
