Above the Bay At Thornton Adams House

Stayed here for one night on Valentine’s Day weekend for a near-​from-​home mini vacation. The room was big and comfortable, the night was quiet, the host/​owner was polite but respected our privacy, the location is ideal (between the view of the bay and being close to good restaurants in town), and the breakfast is substantial and tasty.
When we arrived, Christine met us at the door and promptly showed us around. While the house is fairly new construction (1990s), Christine and her sister did a wonderful job procuring a mix of modern and vintage furniture and decorations to make the rooms feel both comfortable and bed-​and-​breakfast-​y.
We stayed in the biggest room in the house, which has an terrifically comfy king sized bed, a love seat and TV, tons of extra space, and a large whirlpool tub in the bathroom. The view looks out to the bay, which is a short ways across the street. It was a quiet and comfortable night’s sleep, and breakfast in the morning was complete and delicious — we had orange juice and coffee along with scrambled eggs, roasted potatoes, waffles served with a fruit sauce and maple syrup on the side, and a fruit cup with yogurt. We dined with the one other couple who had spent the night, and enjoyed chatting with them and Christine when she came out with our food. She also has a sweet old black lab named Murphy, who made an appearance during breakfast and was very well behaved. Overall a terrific stay!

Our host, Christine, was very friendly and accommodating. Our room was very clean and comfortable with a large balcony. Great prices and only a few miles from town.

Wonderful accommodations. Recommended by locals, great breakfast, beautiful rooms, and Sandy provided invaluable advice about what to do in town, along with special discounts. No tax on B&B stays meant we found an incredible deal! My husband and I would rate this 10 stars, as our time in Plymouth has been the most enjoyable vacation to date.

Our stay with Sandy was wonderful! She was an excellent hostess and accommodated our every need. She was kind enough to give us access late at night when our trip was delayed. She provided helpful tourist tips and excellent breakfast! We loved our stay there and can’t wait to go back

Well it’s my first morning after staying at his B&B and have to say. Very nice. Sandy was very helpful. When we checked in she had some coupons that saved us a bunch of cash at the Mayflower and mill. She accommodated our food allergy issues.
Daughter was entertained with piano and her dog Sandy’s dog Maddie.
Sandy was flexible on room assignments since we were the only guests this early in the season. Had a nice nap on the balcony overlooking the garden Woke up early and coffee was made.
So overall a good experience.

Sandy is a wonderful host and does phenomenal breakfasts. The house is very beautiful. I had a great stay at a great price.

We stayed at The Thornton Adams B & B this past December through Christmas. Sandy made certain that everything was just lovely. The historic home was decorated beautifully for the holidays and although we were away from our home, Sandy made sure that we felt very comfortable and welcome in hers. We had our privacy when we wanted it and if there was anything that we needed or wanted to know about we were always made to feel free to ask. My husband, preteen son, and I really appreciated the invitation and accommodations to have tea or coffee during the day or night. The breakfasts were always homemade and deliciously prepared. The dining room table was set differently and specially each day. We were very sad to leave, but look forward to staying there again one day.

sandy really goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and make sure your stay is great. she called and scheduled a walking tour for us of plymouth and gave us directions to everywhere we wanted to go. the rooms were quaint, comfortable and the area was surrounded by beautiful trees with the fall turning the leaves to a redish brown. there’s a view of the water from your room (if you get one on that side of the house). it’s just down the street from the plantation and just a 5 minute drive to downtown plymouth, the mayflower, the rock and all the restaurants and bars. the overall stay was a 5 out of 5. the breakfast was fantastic and the conversation at breakfast with sandy and the other visitors to the b&b was pleasant and interesting as you can swap stories about places you visited in the prior days and get info on what’s worth seeing for yourself. if you plan to stay in this area, you can’t go wrong with sandy and her b&b

I was in desperate need of a ‘solace by the sea’ getaway, and «Above the Bay: The Thornton Adams B&B» delivered. It’s especially perfect if you’re in the Boston area and need a quick vaca without hassle, traffic, or a too-​bad-​a-​dent in the wallet. (Very reasonable, actually.) Ron and Sandy are your innkeepers, and they’re awesome. Actually, I only met Sandy, but given how cool Sandy is, I’m sure Ron rocks, too. Sandy has THE PERFECT personality for a B&B: she’s fun, lively, conversational – and really wants her guests to have a nice time. Her recommendations to me – restaurants, spots she guessed I’d enjoy (She was right!) – were spot on. That was pretty impressive given that she knew me for all of an hour before making those recommendations. Actually, she gets to know you right away when you call to make the reservation; trust me, you’ll feel like you’ve known her for decades. And her breakfasts are… YUM. She makes sure when possible that you get cranberries (local!) at least somewhere in the breakfast. (Very cool.) Oh, and poundy puppy Angus was the cutest. He’ll be there to greet you when you arrive. Go. Have fun. Relax.
