Nice place, but we kept finding various bugs in our room. Moths and ants and some bug I didn't recognize. Also, our ceiling vent kept leaking, and the hot water took ages to come on in the shower. Views were lovely, though.

If you ever need an escape from city life, stay here. I have lived and grown up in big cities my whole life and it wasn’t until I came to Menemsha that I understood the beauty of simple living. I learned a new word while on this trip “bucolic”. In one word it describes my entire experience. From seeing wild turkeys roaming the property, awakening to cows and the sound of over 15 different types of birds in the morning I was surrounded by nature. My highlights included: the beautiful stroll to the beach, gathering fresh farm eggs, an adventure with two escaped cows (my first cow herding experience), the amazing WiFi (where I was able to work remotely), the oyster shells on the driveways, amazing sunset BBQs, baking croissants in the morning, visiting local farms for the best fresh produce, meats and cheeses, walking to the fishing village to buy the freshest seafood right off the boats, having a fully equipped kitchen, and that amazing wood burning fireplace. The staff is amazing. Jonias taught us how to build a great fire and helped us set up our bbq. Bob (owner) personally helped us with setting up our WiFi to ensure everything ran smoothly! Sarah our angel who was our guide and wonderful host. Thank you for your generosity and for showing some hardened city folks the beauty of country life. We hope to return soon and bring our families. Thank you again!
Love quiet location. Public or private transport available.
An amazing quaint property hidden amongst lush flora. Best thing about it? The Proprietors, Sarah and Bob Nixon!! Oh, and Chef John. Food was exquisite! Rooms in the Carriage House were lovely. Nice balcony with amazing views. Staff met every one of our needs. Felt like home, but way better. Hated to leave. Can't wait to return!!!
We spent 2 weeks at Menemsha's Cottage at Ruth's House. We absolutely loved everything: the peaceful nature, being located in this beautiful farm cottage by the sea surrounded by friendly cows, chickens (free fresh eggs every morning :-)), ducks, goose, etc. There is a little trail through the forest and dunes that leads straight to Menemsha's village and beach in less than 10mins. There you will find the famous fishmarket for fresh lobsters, oysters and fishes. Menemsha's beach has the most beautiful sunset on the whole island and we could witness it from our cottage everyday. We loved how well equipped was the cottage with a full kitchen, 2 BBQ's (one gas and one charcoal/wood), a fireplace and tons of woods, perfect for Smores at night. This is a perfect place for foodies like us. There is a least 5 amazing beaches at less than 10mins drive from the cottage. They are all different, some includes a little hike from the forest. Other have direct parking next to the beach. We loved them all and made sure to switch beach everyday for a different experience. The cottage itself was super luxury and spacious. The beds are super comfy so we had great nights sleep especially in this peaceful nature. We loved Menemsha cottages and we cannot wait to come back. We travelled the world and this is a truly special place. We want to thank Sarah Nixon the owner for her exceptional hospitality. She was wonderful and gave us great tips every of fun things to do, we followed them and we had the time of our life.
Location is peaceful and serene. Fun walking trail to the water. Rooms amply sized. The experience was what I would call rustic...repairs were in order in the rooms. My screen door was off its hinges, faucet leaked, phone did not work. In absence of cell signal we could not depend on the internet service or even a land line. If you are not expecting luxury you can be comfortable here. The staff was friendly and somewhat apologetic about the need for repairs. Breakfast was served daily but the menu was the same daily as well.
Very cozy place with nice staff and service. Beautiful location and rooms are very cozy too.
Lovely place and people. Owners are awesome!
