Old Gaol Tours

Learn about the chilling crimes committed by the former inmates of Old Gaol and find out what life might have been like held in one of its grim cells.

This historic jailhouse is one of the highlights in Nantucket Town. But it's not the only spot worth visiting in the area. After you've paid the entrance fee and enjoyed your adventure at Old Gaol, check out nearby Jetties Beach, Surfside Beach and Madaket Beach as well.

8.8/10 Excellent! (853 reviews)
Beautiful and serene property, wonderful staff, great concept for a hotel. Amazing fitness center. Very reasonable price for what you get. The only small flaw is that the free continental breakfast is limited and low quality: what tastes like fake eggs, processed, made-from-frozen packaged homefries, plain white bagels, plain white bread. This is a contrast to the theme of health. Otherwise, four stars!

They had goats in the back! I wish the fencing were more hand friendly and shirt friendly - I could lean over to pet. Breakfast was nourishing. and I could make tea in my room!
