Under the same ownership as the Menemsha Inn next door, this upscale hotel has one of the island’s top restaurants, the Beach Plum Restaurant, on site. The main inn building and cottages are set in a 7-acre garden property with colorful flowers throughout. The rooms, some in cottages and some in the main house, vary widely in size, but all are decorated in a pleasing French country style. Many of the rooms in the main house have balconies, screened-in porches, or patios, the better to enjoy harbor breezes.
