Bassett House Inn

Our family stayed at this Inn one weekend this summer and one weekend last summer. It is not fancy but it is clean. There is abundant parking and Michael, the owner, provides a beach pass. You can bring your pets. There is air conditioning and it is conveniently located. It is not inexpensive but much more affordable than most, if not all of the other Inns in the area. Plus, my experience has been that Michael does not require a three night minimum as many Inns in the area do. The area is beautiful and the only time we spend at the Inn is to shower and sleep. For those purposes, this Inn is more than adequate. We would stay again.

The owner/operator is very nice and friendly. However, I would not stay here again, especially for the price. Room doors don't lock, and everything in the place is old - but not in a nice or rustic kind of way. Only had to stay here last minute on the weekend, and it's the last time I let someone else make a reservation for me without looking it up first.

Last weekend I sailed with my three kids and one of their friends between Gardiners Island and Shelter Island. Everything was perfect: the temperature, the wind, the sunset. We suddenly had a major problem with the sailboat and things went from fantastic to horrible in a few seconds. Thanks God nobody got hurt, but I was stranded on the water with four kids. We were rescued by some nice people on a motor boat which brought us to East Hampton. One couple was especially helpful and found the Bassett House Inn for us, which still had some openings. At this time we were slowly approaching midnight, but Michael Bassett did not mind and received all of us with open arms. The same evening and the next morning I had to arrange towing the boat, find transportation, keep the kids busy, talk to the i

I had a most enjoyable time staying at the Bassett House. Among the best locations in East Hampton -- Convenient to everything. The innkeeper is most agreeable. This is a fabulouse place if you have a dog. The facility has a very expensive, large back yard that has a number of chaise lounges and is as comfortable as it gets both for a place to relax and let your pet run free.

We had a wonderful time at The Basset House during our summer visit. The Bed and Breakfast is charming and the host, Michael was wonderful. ||||This Bed and Breakfast is in a great location also, close to Main Street and the East Hampton airport. I would stay there again!
