We needed a last-minute room and were able to get one of the newly renovated queen bed rooms. It felt new and was very clean. The owners suggested a restaurant up the road and even offered to keep our leftovers in their fridge in the lobby. But, they took it a step further by picking up a fridge from a... More

My experience with the Inn at Onset Bay was just more than I could have ever expected. I had reserved a cottage for a so called meeting place for the 11 or so rooms booked by our friends for my wedding...we are local to the area and rather than entertaining our guests at our home the cottage on their premisis...

We booked a room for 4 of us to stay in. When we got there Cheryl said she moved us to a room on the first floor. This made the trip so much more enjoyable with our 2 year old. The room was beautiful with a small efficiency kitchen and bath. The room was larger than I imagined. The small... More

We needed a spur of the moment place to stay as we were having renovations done at our home. The first time I called to make reservations, the owner, Cheryl gave us the cottage room at their Inn. Just a day before, the contractors switched it up on me, and I had to call to cancel at the last minute.... More

We booked a block of rooms at the Inn on Onset Bay for our wedding in June 2012. Cheryl, the innkeeper, was accommodating, friendly and detail oriented. I was notified when a guest booked a room and was given preference for the handicapped room for a family who needed it. All our guests were greeted with a warm welcome from... More

Stayed a weekend here recently. It's a lovely old Victorian inn. The room itself was last decorated in the 70s i'd say, but it blended in with Onset in general-low key, relaxed shabby chic. Everything was clean, incuding the small kitchenette. Better lighting/higher wattage light bulbs would've been nice. Also, this place has the tiniest hotel soap bars in the... More

We stayed here for almost two weeks and we very much enjoyed our stay. Owners are very friendly and accommodating. Rooms are clean and spacious, it's walking distance to everything (e.g restaurants, stores, parks, beach etc.) which was very convenient for us especially with the kids. Feels like home to us and kids were really happy. Can't wait to go... More

This is by far one of the worst places I have EVER stayed in. Room had a constant mold and mildew smell, Ceilings are cracked , walls dirty and bathroom and kitchen were disgusting. Everything is outdated and gross. Very overpriced, needs major renovating. DO NOT STAY HERE.

It is upsetting for us as inn keepers to have a guest check-in, never come to the desk with a concern (one such as serious as mold) not take the time to fill out a comment card, not say a word at check out and then write such a negative review on line,If a guest does come to the desk... More

We felt at home immediately. The room was spotless and spacious, and right across the street from a pristine beach. The people were friendly. Our room had a kitchenette, and we could grill on the patio. We would like to come back next year.

We needed a place at short notice for one night to attend a wedding nearby. The owner graciously booked us at short notice, waiving their 2 night policy during this time period since they still had a room open. Their rooms all have new air conditioning, we were grateful for that due to the heat wave with temperatures in the... More
