We stayed on night here and it was a lovely hotel. Our room in the main inn was very quiet and the breakfast the next day was delicious! Highly recommend and definitely worth the cost of the room.

Margin Street Inn is absolutely immaculately kept, exceptional service, and wonderful inn keepers! I recently planned a 3 day wedding weekend in the area and the tent was situated at Margin Street Inn for 2 nights. I worked with Sarah & Chris for a year planning out the weekend and guest accommodations and they were so kind and warm throughout the process. I was lucky enough to stay on site for the weekend and had a fabulous stay enjoying a cozy room, amenities, and a tasty breakfast each morning. I hope to return for both work and pleasure soon!

Sarah & Chris are amazing! I had a short stay, but the quality of service was extraordinary. I was greeted as soon as I arrived and immediately felt welcomed. The inn and my room were extremely clean, comfortable, and well-kept. The location and grounds are absolutely beautiful! I only wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy all of the amenities. I would absolutely stay here every time I visit Westerly. Highly recommend!

Lovely inn on a quiet street near the river. Both the main house and the guest house are very nicely cared for and you have many rooms to sit and enjoy a book, coffee or conversation. The breakfast that Chris and Sarah prepare is delicious. A wonderful getaway

The Margin Street Inn is a classic New England B&B on a quiet street next to a river. The rooms are old world classic and comfortable, and the hosts (Sara and Chris) are charming and gracious.
