Travel + Things to Do
Guests can fly into either the Providence T.F. Green Airport (PVD), or Boston Logan (BOS).
New Bedford (where our room block is located) is a 45 minute drive from PVD or a 1 hour and 15 minute drive from BOS.
There are busses (Peter Pan, etc.) available to book online from Providence T.F. Green. Or, you will be able to book an Uber from either airport. We also recommend renting cars for those flying in if you plan to day trip to the beach, etc.!
Nicknamed "The Whaling City," New Bedford's small downtown area is charming, with cobblestone streets and a view of the fishing harbor.
We recommend checking out the Whaling Museum and Moby Dick's Brewery (good beer and food)-both walking distance from our hotels.
Cork Wine & Tapas and Merrill's are also good restaurant options!
Otherwise, we highly encourage you to seek out one of the other day trips mentioned below!
Horseneck Beach in Westport, MA is about a 25 minute drive from New Bedford and is absolutely gorgeous for a day trip!
Mattapoisett is located on Buzzards Bay right at the gate to Cape Cod. You can easily drive onto the Cape and checkout the beaches etc. there. Or, take a ferry (no wheels needed) from New Bedford to either Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket for a day trip (or longer). If you go to Nantucket, don't miss our favorite spot, Cisco Brewery!! If you have any questions or would like suggestions just reach out to Kate!
About 45 minutes away, Newport, Rhode Island is another great place for a day trip! Be sure to checkout the famous Newport Mansions along the Cliff Walk.
