We went to the Hamptons for a womans get away and stayed at the 1708 House. "We were only going to stay two nights but ended up staying three. Skip was a wealth of information and was a cordial host. I think Southampton is better than West Hampton. Better shops, less NYCish and a nice hometown. I live in Marblehead,... More

First of all, the location is excellent and you can stroll through town without using a car. Everything you might want or need is within walking distance! The owners were antique dealers prior to running this charming inn so 1708 House is chock full of lovely period American furniture.There is a wonderful country breakfast included int eh room rate served...

This was the best vacation we have ever had. We rented a cottage and it was pristine. The management and owner were very hospitable and welcoming. The food was wonderful and afternoon was refreshing after spending the day shopping in-town. Everyone was helpful in suggesting where to go and what to do next. Definitely the best experience ever. I would... More

Fantastic location. Friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful, private, and clean accommodations. We are always nervous about traveling with our 2 year old as we need a separate room for her since she is a light sleeper, and we are always wary about waking other guests up in the mornings. We stayed in cottage 12 and that addressed all of our... More

Last December after Christmas, the Midwest and East Coast experienced a blizzard. I had reservations to stay at the 1708 House, but my flight from another state was canceled and I was unable to return to New York in time to make my reservation. I phoned the 1708 House to explain the situation, and the owner answered. He could not... More

Did not actually stay here, but if you are in the military or support the military, you should stay away from this place. My wife & I had to cancel a stay here due to Hurricane Irene. When my wife spoke with the owner about possibly refunding our deposit, she mentioned that her spouse is in the military & about... More

While we welcome reviews, I would like to reiterate that the above review reflects the opinion of a person who was not a guest of ours. It expresses his personal opinion based upon a telephone conversation, with remarks out of context; and, therefore, it is not a review of what our property has to offer our guests. Also, omitted from... More

I just returned from a 2nd visit to The 1708 House in two months. That should tell you something. In the heart of Southampton among modernities, here lies this immaculate "five century" home turned Inn. The owner has clearly put painstaking time into every detail of this original 1648 home with impressive period renovations. The bathrooms are of European quality,... More

We were moved here after Box Farm let us down (big time!!), but what a stroke of luck. Loved everything about the 1708 house. Couple of mins walk to shops and restaurants, yet never troubled by noise. Staff friendly and helpful but not intrusive. Public areas beautiful, filled with antiques and very comfortable - loved the cellar games room. After... More

I have to say that I was really surprised at how much we enjoyed our stay at 1708 Inn. Our room was really lovely and the queen bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was fine, could use some counter space but it didn't detract from our enjoyment of the room. It was very quiet (love). The owners are pleasant and... More
