Ship's Knees Inn

I absolutely loved this bed and breakfast. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. I could not say enough great things about this place. I already want to plan my next visit.

It is a beautiful B&B in Orleans ! Great location! Self check in was easy . The gal that worked Saturday was super helpful with providing restaurant recommendations! The property is very clean, staff is super friendly !! The breakfast was AMAZING!

It is a beautiful, well cared for Inn. Rooms are lovely, the bed very comfortable. Delicious breakfast

The grounds are lovely, well maintained with beautiful flowers

Not impressed with the hospitality. In summer 2023 Covid protocols still in place for self check-in. During the pandemic, I understood the need for them, but at this point it seemed like lazy hospitality when observing others getting welcome tours and given recommendations for activities. I understood a continental breakfast was offered, but muffins made from mixes, no protein except for hard boiled eggs on single serving plates and no seasonal fruit though it was the height of berry season conveyed cutting of corners at every opportunity. I knew I’d booked a small room, but expected comfort for the price payed. However, the bed was uncomfortable, the window unit air conditioner reduced sunlight, never cooled the room so was constantly on and it (or something else) gave the room an odd smell. There was a large mini refrigerator in the room, but it had no freezer shelf making it useless for beach goers needing to keep ice packs cold. Each of these things alone are not enough to seek someone out to share dissatisfaction, but the totality of them was enough to make us feel cheated when we’re familiar with lodging in the area and what they cost.
