Delightful B&B steps from downtown Edgartown. And a B&B that actually offers breakfast? Feels like a dying breed... Check in was a snap, and our modest but perfectly comfortable suite was ready for our 3p arrival. A spacious main room featured books, magazines, attraction guides, loads of seating and freshly baked (I mean, still warm) oatmeal raisin cookies. Get in my face. Parking on a peastone lot is situated directly behind the main house. Four lefts from the front driveway and you're there. Mattress slept us beautifully, and having ice cold A/C blowing on our feet (room 6 exclusive? IDK) was a totally welcome bonus during a 98º summer day. And the breakfast! Quintessential B&B setup: gold rimmed china, a coffee station with excellent teas and piping hot local roast, fresh squeezed juices. I had a savory and spiced granola with seasonal berries over yogurt and the wife went Belgian waffle with strawberries. Clean plate clubs, the two of us. (We even saved room for a tiny bite of lemon poppy muffin, blueberry scone and cinnamon coffee cake, also avail.) Location, immaculate management, and ultimate coziness with nary a wisp of stuffiness give Ashley my highest recommendation.

Due to some issues at another place, we had previously booked, we were able to find this Inn online during the 1st week of June and booked it. The Ashley Inn is centrally located; 1/2 mile from the Stop and Shop and close to town. Upon arrival, we were given a choice between two rooms and selected the one on the 2ndfloor near the fire exit which included a fireplace, sofa, and mini fridge. Fred was an excellent host. List was provided with many excellent restaurants. Room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. Breakfast of fruit, coffee/tea, and muffins was available. Free parking is available behind the Inn. There is also a parlor with nice library and calm music that plays. Would definitely recommend this B&B.

Stayed at the Ashley Inn for 5 days during off season, I had a wonderful time! Fred is a great host! Gave me some really good suggestions on where to go and places to eat, he even gave me maps! I also had a pleasure of meeting Annie, one of the staff and she is absolutely delightful! Very warm and welcoming I loved my stay at the inn and I will definitely coming back! Ashley Inn is a little piece of gem!

Had a wonderful stay here recently while in Edgartown for a friend's wedding. The decor is charming, the rooms are comfortable and well maintained, and the excellent coffee and homemade breakfasts they serve each morning were one of the highlights of the entire trip. Not to mention the delicious fresh-baked cookies and lemonade they put out each afternoon. We'll definitely be staying there again next time we're on MV!

Very relaxing place to stay right outside town. Just a three to five minute walk to most restaurants. Fred is so hospital and helpful.

Josie was simply a highly professional and accommodating person. She truly understands what it means to make people feel special and was able to handle a few of our requests with ease! We stayed in a top floor suite with two awesome deck areas overlooking water street. The room was clean and well appointed, bedding was overly comfortable . There are no elevators , so be prepared to get some great exercise if your lucky enough that access the third floor. The property is very well maintained. Great location too. Very central access to waking Edgartown - and easy access to the many island highlights. Side note : Being a huge fan of JAWS, I was so delighted to determine this property was shooting location along Water street it was shown in the scene where Brody walked to the hardware store across from the bike store which now houses a great coffee shop. So close to the Chappy ferry as well. Highly recommend this property -

But, it was hostess, MaryGail, who made our stay unforgettable. We will always associate Martha's Vineyard with memories of her graciousness, generosity, warm laughter and beautiful spirit. She makes you feel welcomed and at home, as if you're visiting a friend. Bravo to The Christopher for having such a wonderful person as their manager. The only caveat to booking at The Christopher is the very steep narrow staircase to the upper floors. A second handrail would be a good safety measure. These stairs would prohibit some from being able to access the upstairs rooms.

Peaceful elegance without pretentiousness. If you know the difference. Beds and pillows are world class. The rooms appointed with real antique furnishings. Not cheap knockoffs.

Or motor your yacht. Or just take the car ferry like we do. Just make your reservation well in advance. If you want peace and quiet without the outside world, this is your home away from home.

It's probably my fault for assuming such an old Inn wouldn't reek like a filthy old antique store. Our suite, The Coach House was overwhelming overran by mold/mildew, the only way to mask the stench was to set the A/C to extremely cold settings throughout our 5 day stay. This was actually a serious problem for me because I have severe allergies and asthma... I chose not to address this issue to management, as management had proved to be completely unhelpful, and unaccommodating to us during our entire stay... so I figured why bother. Unfortunately all of our belongings we had with us (suitcases, clothes, shoes, toiletry bags, flight bags, purses), and the thousand(s) of dollars we spent on souvenirs, and gifts purchased throughout the 5 trip, all came home with us reeking of mold, I'm livid. Don't even get me started on experience of staying on the property, guests are not encouraged to socialize with other guests, guests are not allowed to have outdoor conversations without getting asked to leave... or have the inn keeper show up to see whats going on and just linger around as your trying to enjoy the outdoors because your room smells so badly. My welcome letter stated: "For ALL of our Inn guests to enjoy, we offer the living rooms with the fireplaces in the Main Inn, and the Summer House porch." We were specifically banned from using the common porch, we received two written letters telling us so. Along with the common porch being roped off and a typed out sign stating the porch was only for the rooms in the Summer House to enjoy. This happened after we checked in and specifically asked Cole (the gentleman that checked us in and gave us the tour), if smoking cigars were allowed outside on the property, in which Cole stated anywhere outside on the property at any of the seating areas a cigar could be enjoyed, Cole went on to show me the Summer House porch, stating a cigar could be enjoyed at those seating areas if we'd like, because he said it's such a nice area. After the fact, we were asked by Jack to move off of the Summer House patio that very same evening when my partner wanted to enjoy a cigar before we went in for the night. Later during our stay we received a hand letter stating the we could use a real-estate office porch to sit at, and the Summer House porch was roped off. We paid for the most expensive suite on the property at $1,750 per night, this is not the kind of treatment or living conditions one should ever expect. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, and you couldn't pay me to stay here again. If I was a person of color, this place would be sued into oblivion for discrimination, contractual breach, and selective enforcement. According the Department of Justice, singling out a paying guest from using a listed common area can be considered unlawful discrimination if the action is based on a protected characteristic (such as race, religion, sex, disability, or national origin) or violates the equal enjoyment terms of your contract. When It Is Unlawful Discrimination Protected Class Status: If the guest is singled out because of their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin, it violates federal civil rights laws (like Title II for public accommodations) and state human rights acts. Contractual Breach: A paying guest enters an agreement that includes access to advertised amenities. Denying access to a listed common area without a neutral, safety-based justification breaks that service agreement. Selective Enforcement: Applying a common area rule to only one specific person while allowing everyone else to use it creates strong legal evidence of disparate treatment or bias.

Walking through the front door feels less like checking into a hotel and more like arriving at your own beautiful home in the heart of Edgartown. We were welcomed by the warm, attentive staff with delicious homemade baked goods and refreshing fresh lemonade, immediately making us feel at home. The rooms are beautifully designed, blending timeless New England charm with elegant, whimsical touches. Our room was incredibly spacious and thoughtfully appointed, complete with a charming kitchenette that made it feel as though we had the house all to ourselves. My dog is like my child, so he travels everywhere with me, and I especially appreciated how pet-friendly the Hob Knob is. The adorable dog-themed lamps added a fun touch, and my pup was thrilled to find Milk-Bones waiting for him in the room. Every detail reflected genuine thought and care, from the luxurious Frette linens to the Molton Brown toiletries. Nothing felt overlooked. The location is perfect--just a short walk to all the wonderful shops, restaurants, and charm of Main Street in Edgartown. At the same time, having an on-site parking lot made it easy to explore the rest of Martha's Vineyard by car. Breakfast each morning was absolutely delicious, and by the end of our stay, we found ourselves wishing we had booked a few more nights. The Hob Knob offers the perfect combination of luxury, comfort, and hospitality, and I can't wait to return.

Pros: Perfect location. Within walking distance of shops and…read morerestaurants in Edgartown. Awesome toiletries The room has a fridge The window AC unit worked well The room was spacious They have bar right next to the pool Cookies, Milk and tea from 5-9. Keurig in room In the mornings they have muffins and coffee in the lobby. Cons: Shower doesn't have a door it's hard to gauge the water No elevator We arrived via Lyft around 915pm. We were immediately greeted and checked in. They had just finished their milk and cookie hour, but the lady was nice enough to get me some cookies to snack on since we were starving. The hotel doesn't have an elevator, but it's only three floors and the staff assisted with the bags The room was big and clean. The bed was comfortable. The toiletries were great. They lathered well and smelled great. The room didn't look dated like some of the reviews stated, but I think I read they had just been remodeled. I definitely recommend this hotel. Don't look anywhere else. Tip: There's a few liquor stores nearby if you're looking for inexpensive drinks There's a fast food sea food restaurant (Quarterdeck) right across the street from the bar that serves food late into the night

Me and my fiancé just had an intimate wedding in Edgartown. Our family and toddler stood at this hotel since our hotel did not allow kids. Never had I felt staff lack hospitality, common sense or courtesy like the staff at the Kelly House. One example, my dad (who is blind) had just checked out at 11 am and he left his bags at the lobby. At 12 noon he wanted to use a restroom was denied access since "he checked out". Was told to "find somewhere outside that has a bathroom". Never asked to help with luggage. Never opened doors. Never made eye contact or a hello, or a good morning. Continental breakfast normally consist of more than two items. In this case it was burnt coffee and some sweet muffin for which you have to ask for one by one. If your in a group of 4 or 5 and one person asks for a muffin don't you think you should ask if others from the group want any? So let's say you're an introvert who doesn't care about courtesy or a false advertised continental breakfast, or any form of hospitality. You just want a clean/nice place to sleep and leave. Well this place is not it. You have to tell the staff to clean. They only cleaned our room once during a 4 night stay.
