Beautiful place absolutely ruined by horrific service
Pros:

The hotel facilities and its location is absolutely fantastic!

Cons:

I have never experienced such poor service from hotel staff in my entire life, particularly for such a premium property. Hotel staff members watched as we literally cleaned and wiped down a breakfast table instead of helping us; they only asked us if we would like to place a paid drinks order. The restaurant maitre d' was incredibly rude and refused to sit us at a table despite it being free as we had not booked in advance and staff members at the beach bar consistently forgot our orders. It is such a beautiful place, and such a shame that it was ruined by such horrific service

My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much.
Pros:

Breakfast was included. Gluten free options were available. We were able to eat outside on the porch area which was very lovely. The room was new and very clean located in the main building. King size bed was very comfy! The pool area is just the right size, and you can go across the street and hang on lounge chairs/umbrella on a small beach area as well. We were able to use the facilities the day we arrived and the day we departed (before and after check-in/out times) which made our one night stay feel even longer! Showers, sauna, steam room available to use. There is also a valet service if you need to be driven to the ferry etc. They had a BBQ night while we were there--decorated so quaint and beautiful location on front lawn. Overall great experience.

I will continue to stay at the Pridwin, it is one of those hotels. I look forward to every year. I always love it there
Pros:

it’s a very nostalgic property on Shelter Island. It is always clean and the staff is super kind. They are from all over the world and really try at all times to make you happy.

Cons:

The one thing I did not like was we were eating dinner last night, which was a Sunday and it was 930 at night and they had shut all the interior lights down. They did not rush our meal that we had on the deck, but you could tell they were ready to go.

The Pridwin is a perfect place to stay & like a little slice of heaven.
Pros:

From the moment we arrived, we were treated with respect & kindness. The hotel is in a lovely location with a stunning view from the back covered patio & deck. Our room was comfortable and clean. We had a nice view of the grounds, ocean & pool area. The breakfast buffet was simple, but fine for our taste. Chefs were preparing made to order omelets which is what we ordered, along with avocado toast, fresh fruit, & pastry.

Cons:

Nothing. Everything was perfect

Pros:

The Pridwin is a beautiful property with a stunning view and old New England, Americana historic vibe. It is a quintessential experience if you want to have quiet yet convenience to both the north and south forks. The ferry is quick and the island is beautiful and quiet if you go during off season. Lovely long weekend trip for me and my husband. Highly recommend.
