My husband and i just returned from a lovely anniverary getaway at Quintessentials. The Innkeeper, Sylvia, was the consummate host - greeting her guests, chatting, giving great insights into the area. She is warm and friendly and made sure we had a special time. She also serves up an awesome breakfast. The Inn is immaculate, inviting and a great place... More

Wonderful get a way!! massages on premise and were great. Restaurants in Greenport spectacular. Sylvia the innkeeper was delightful!

As a birthday surprise, my husband booked a short stay at Quintessentials for us. As neither one of us had ever stayed at a B&B before, we were a little uncertain as to what to expect. When we arrived Sylvia prepared an afternoon tea and baked a birthday cake (complete with a candle and the infamous happy birthday song) The... More

I had two spa services (facial and massage) which were professionally performed and reasonably priced. Breakfast was delicious, but served (I thought) a little late, @ 9:45 a.m. I'd go back in a...

I stayed at Quintessentials during the North Fork's House and Garden Tour. Let me tell you, Sylvia has one of the most magnificent gardens that I have ever seen. There is a lovely outdoor sitting space with a cooling fan where I enjoyed brownies and lemonade. The house was spotless and fabulous. We had her famed corn beef hash in... More
