It was extremely family friendly, easy to get to from the Ferry and everyone was so friendly. Their luggage policy was so helpful. They watched it for us after we checked out until we took the ferry back later that everything.

This is a beautiful place. My room was spacious, and very clean. The only down fall was they put kids in the room above us and they were up at 6 am and very loud, other then that will definitely go back.

Stayed 3 nights 4 days at the Island House Hotel with two adults and two children ages 10 and 6. Overall, good stay; however, would have appreciated more sensitivity and accommodation for dining experience, especially since I called ahead to verify food allergies with staff beforehand. I was informed by the front desk that the Head Chef Phil would oversee dining options for our child with food allergies and would speak to us before ordering (had restaurant 1852 reservations). However, this did not take place which I’m surprised, because even at chain restaurants like Bravos, the restaurant head chefs will take the time to come out and assure us that there will not be any cross contamination of food due to our child’s severe life threatening food allergy. At any rate, I had high expectations for this he Island House based on ratings from Trip Advisor, but moved a notch down due to this experience. Beautiful, well-kept grounds. Bike Rental is on-site and a plus. Be ready to pay for coffee at 1852 Grill if you order breakfast, all prices are high onsite. The BBQ at ICE house for dinner was really delicious. Ordered the brisket and had no regrets. Even had a friendly dog visitor Bean that we fed leftovers to. Nice atmosphere at ICE restaurant; the hotel should definitely consider having heat lamps near the dinner table for cold nights dining outside and padding for the seats.
