Exceptional in every way. Jeanette is so warm and welcoming; we enjoyed our chats with her every morning at breakfast. The inn itself is quaint and peaceful, with beautifully decorated rooms, all of which are meticulously maintained. The location is perfect: only a few miles from lovely restaurants and convenient ferry service to the islands. Our dinners at Glass Onion and Landfall were excellent. Highly recommend the Frederick Williams Inn and Falmouth overall!

We enjoyed our stay at Frederick Williiam House. It is in a perfect location. Staff was great. My critique woud be the outdoor seating area could of been cleaned better.. table and chairs were dirty, spider webs and bird poo on all of them. I also do not think it should be advertised as breakfast included as you do have to pay extra for the continental breakfast- and the breakfast that is included is pastries. aside from that we would consider returning here.

The owner was very nice and accommodating. Our room was decorated beautifully and very clean. We loved using the bikes provided to us to ride the trail behind the B&B and it was only a 2.5 mile ride to a beach. Everything was close including transportation to the ferry over to Martha's Vineyard, Cape Cod winery, and other restaurants and shops. Very beautiful bed and breakfast and we will definitely return!!

The inn was fine for our purpose to be close to the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard. Room was very nice. Pillows were flat which is a big no no for me. Could hear someone snoring in the house. Situated on a very busy road but the inn has a fabulous bike path right in the back yard.

The place was amazingly beautiful, very clean, they were very organized, we arrived late and they left a note in the front desk with information, that was good. The only thing we would it want to know in anticipation is about the “free breakfast” because it was only “Fruits, some pastry, juice, water and coffee”, it you wanted to have eggs or anything else you had to pay $20 the plate, so technically it wasn’t fully free. Other than that the place is amazing and I highly recommend it.
