Perfect gem
On a scale of 1 - 10.....I rate it a 20. It was such a beautiful place and in the perfect area. We walked to dinner, came back and relaxed on the porch. We were enjoying the peace and quiet and then we heard the church bells ring 8 times and then a little song played ever so softly. The Inn had beautiful antique furniture. Always had some, water, coffee and snacks out. The sweetest woman checked us in and then showed us around. We definitely want to come back and stay for 3 or 4 nights.

I think it is a bit misleading. It called an Inn but it’s really a bed and breakfast.
People were noisy coming in at night.
Nobody offered to help with bags up 3 flights.
Pillows were uncomfortable and had makeup stains

The Palmer House Inn was a beautiful B&B located within walking distance of shops, dining and Martha's Vineyard ferry. The first thought my wife had was that "they thought of everything!" Every detail was attended to. Inn owner Tom was very friendly and helpful with recommendations. We have stayed at many B&Bs and this one was one of the best!

Owned by a lovely and welcoming couple, the Palmer House Inn boasts a property that honors prominent writers. The Inn’s mascot Brody and the staff truly made the stay at the beautifully aged Victorian home one of a kind. Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer.

This precious gem is located in the center of Falmouth. Restaurants, pubs and shops are within walking distance. B&B owners are helpful and accommodating. We are looking toward booking with Palmer next year. Thank you Bill and Tom.

Nice B&B
Friendly & cute room! Nice front porch to relax in ricking chairs. Easy access to shining sea bikeway & town. All walking distance. Breakfast was good and plentiful, wait staff attentive
Only didn’t really enjoy the big dogs tail swishing on our table at breakfast. Definitely a lovely place and will go back

Best B&B
Amazing property and stay at The Palmer House Inn. Very gracious hosts, delicious breakfast and amazing room. Very clean and comfortable bed with the most amazing linens. I did not want to get out of bed. Beautiful property and plenty of parking at no charge. Felt like I left all of the world's worries behind .... Gardens so beautiful and the attention to detail on every item considered. We would definitely stay again. Brodie, their dog, was just an added bonus when we checked in. Very memorable part of our vacation.
