Margin Street Inn will forever be a special place for my husband and I. We stayed here for several days for our wedding weekend and couldn't have had a better experience. The grounds, rooms, hospitality from Sarah & Chris and the morning breakfast are fantastic. You'll feel relaxed by just stepping foot on the front porch. We cannot wait to be back each year.

Relaxing, calm, quiet luxury at its finest, set in a little nook of Westerly. Sarah and Chris are the most gracious, warm, welcoming hosts and they make the BEST breakfast. Everything was top notch yet low key and finished with the most subtle, but thoughtful touches. We can't wait for another weekend to tuck ourselves away here!
- Julia Fox
We had the most magical trip! From delicious homemade breakfasts to our immaculately cleaned and designed room, we couldn't have asked for anything better. Chris and Sarah were incredible - we can't wait to come back!
