About this apartment rental
It was once a Pharmacy from the year 1949 until 1979, it is today a self-catering apartment, and your home away from home in Southern New England – Taylor’s Pharmacy Guesthouse.
In Fall River MA, a small town on the border of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, nestled between Boston, Cape Cod, Newport and Providence, the apartment is located near Historic Downtown neighborhood. It is close to restaurants, public transport, and nightlife. It is close to restaurants, family-friendly activities, public transport, and nightlife. At a walking distance from Ruggles Park... a stroll from Quequechan River Bike Path, Historic Fall River, Government Center, and Downtown. A three-minute drive from Heritage State Park and Battleship Cove.
The space
Taylor's Pharmacy operating years were a time when treating a date to an ice cream soda or a lime rickey at a pharmacy was a ritual in the art of courting. The pharmacy soda fountains served a mouth-watering array of sundaes, splits and frappes while featuring specialized Fall River drinks such as vanilla cokes and the iconic coffee cabinet. Kids would play in Ruggles Park and stop at the pharmacy to buy candy.
It's the nostalgia of those days I try to bring into Taylor's Pharmacy Guesthouse space through old pictures of the Pharmacy and our neighborhood, vintage elements related to the drugstore, the 40s-70s, and the history of our city.

Debora was a wonderful host. Everything was very cute, comfortable and extremely clean. Staying at Taylor's Pharmacy Guesthouse was the right pick to make our vacation relaxing! I would stay there again and again.

What a wonderful stay we had! The hostess thought of everything including a welcoming breakfast, coffee bar, and supplies for my one year old grandson’s stay (high chair, playpen, and baby bath). Directions for check in were very clear and there was plenty of room for three adults and a child in this beautifully decorated apartment. We took a walk around the neighborhood and visited a small summer festival at the park while we were there. We were pleased with the area as it was just a short drive to local beaches and restaurants and close to everything we had planned to visit. Would love to stay again if it’s available the next time we’re in the area.

Debora was so easy to work with and so kind as weather altered our plans. When we finally arrived, not only did we find a clean, adorable apartment, it was so welcoming. I had asked about dairy free restaurants in the area since my daughter is allergic. Not only did she give us some places, she had dairy free treats and drinks waiting for us! It was a very comfortable, relaxing stay and very much appreciated!

This was my second year in a row staying at Taylor’s Pharmacy Guest house and it was just as wonderful the second time around! The host’s attention to detail makes everything very aesthetically pleasing and also cozy and welcoming! Both of my stays she left some “welcome food” which came in very handy throughout the week. The bed was very comfy and everything was very fresh and clean. As someone who likes to be cold to sleep, I also appreciated that there were fans in both bedrooms :) Highly recommend staying here and I plan to be back again!

We could not have been happier or more comfortable at Taylor’s Pharmacy!!! Deborah is an excellent host, she even provided us with milk, eggs, butter, English muffins and yummy muffins. The apartment is spotless and beautifully decorated. Parking can be iffy with a bigger vehicle, but that’s city living. It’s location is perfect for a walk downtown. Being from Fall River, I’m so happy to see the pride in the city Deborah shares with her guests.

This place was so cute and Debora was a great host. She kept in contact with me and if I had questions she was quick to respond. When we arrived we had fresh flowers and muffins on the table which was so thoughtful. She had the fridge stocked with yogurt, granola, eggs, English muffins a small container of OJ and 1/2 gallon of milk. I’ve not been to a place where the host has been so thoughtful to leave items like this. If you are looking and this place is available go ahead and get it booked. You will not regret it! 5 star host and 5 star place. Also try the little ice cream shop around the corner!!! I will definitely book again when I am in the area!! Thank you so much Debora for everything!!!

My stay at Taylor’s Pharmacy was absolutely perfect! I booked it for a fall get away in October and did a lot of day outings. It was very conveniently close to Providence where I spent a lot of my time and within reasonable driving distance to Salem and Concord MA where I also did some outings to! I cannot express enough how welcoming of an environment Debora created. Everything you could want was already thought of and provided! I hope to come back in the future! :)

How wonderful Taylor's Pharmacy Guesthouse was for our week in Massachusetts. Perfectly located at the center of all we planned for the week, including Newport, Warwick and Providence RI as well as Cape Cod and Boston. The hosts did everything the could to make us feel like family. The place is warm and cozy, yet spacious enough for my husband and I. We worked in the mornings, then headed out each day for a trip to someplace fabulous, sometimes grabbing takeout before heading out to an evening in. The stay was reasonably priced and wonderfully accommodating. Do yourself a favor and book this location. I can't say enough wonderful things about the place and the hosts.

Great Experience
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Taylor’s Pharmacy Guesthouse and much of that was due to our host, Debora. Everything was perfect and “as advertised “. Any questions or concerns we’re handled immediately and efficiently. We were very satisfied and would stay again if our plans allow.

Great Cozy Gem with a Historic Feel
So cute, charming, and spacious...and less expensive than a typical "cookie-cutter" hotel room. It was a pharmacy until 1970, so the decor is set in that era. My boys even got to experience a real working record player!
It's in a nice neighborhood near Riggles Park and close to a place that makes homemade ice cream. It's minutes away from the Fall River waterfront as well as Newport, Providence, and all the area hot spots.
The owner, Debora, is super nice and a great host. There's a bike you can use, a little patio with a fire pit, and all the little details like bagels and coffee, eggs and milk in the fridge, etc. when you arrive..
If you'd like a unique, artsy, retro, cozy, and historic space that feels like a home away from home, give this local gem a try. All four in my picky family loved it. Eight thumbs up! :-)

Outstanding!
My sister and I brought our mother to visit the Newport Mansions for her birthday. Our stay at the Taylor Pharmacy Inn was perfect. Debora, owner, surprised us all with a birthday cake in the fridge. So thoughtful of her. Very clean, comfortable and relaxing. Available bicycle and fire pit were an added bonus. We all plan to stay again and introduce this hidden Gem to out friends and family members. Added bonus-Portuguese bakeries in town with great breads and pastries!

Cozy home near points of interest
Debora’s guesthouse was perfect for a girls trip. The record player, outdoor patio and references to the old Pharmacy were fun. Debora also stocked the fridge, left delicious croissants and replenished our towels too. The guest house is kept so clean. Debora’s attention to detail made our stay even better. Debora is a wonderful host! We love her guest house.

Best place in Fall River
Literally no problems the place was amazing. Plan on staying here for future stays up north. It was down the street from our friends so it was very convenient for us. Everything was self explanatory and found everything super easy. Best place I’ve ever stayed in!! Can’t wait for my next trip up here.

Wonderful!
Everything was great and exceeded my expectations. Very nice property with attention to details in every room. Upon entering I felt welcomed and “home”. The host had decorated the unit for the holidays which made the stay even more memorable. Then to discover a very nicely stocked refrigerator with more than enough items for breakfast for the week including egg nog from a local dairy. Loved the stocked coffee bar with the French Press, bagels and croissants!

Fall River has a VRBO!
This is a very nice place in a very nice neighborhood! Nobody I knew, knew there was a VRBO...conveniently located, central in Fall River, decent access...WHO KNEW! So now my family all knows and will be referring people there when a nice place to stay is needed.

Great value, Very clean
Loved this place! We visited Fall River for family research. It was conveniently located to the sites we needed to visit. Very clean and the owner was very easy to work with. A very nice bonus, she stocked the refrigerator with some staples as well as provided bagels, muffins, etc. French coffee maker (with instructions) was a fun experience. The only minor complaint I would have is the very small bathroom with small shower (I prefer tub baths). But, the pluses far outweigh this one minor minus!

So many cute discoveries!
This place has so many adorable comforts, perfect for a small family getaway. There is so much to see in decoration; lots of history.
Our host shared some neat finds in the area, and offers some great advice if you have time to explore.
We felt like we had a genuine home-away-from-home, and we had a wonderful stay. Wish we could have extended, but this there was another reservation. The Pharmacy is popular for a reason!
Thank you again, so much! We look forward to returning!

Best Host Ever
Where do I start with describing our experience!? This host truly goes above and beyond to make your stay special. The fridge was stocked with breakfast goodies and there was not a detail that was forgotten... From hand picked shampoo, soap, pastries, to the softest sheets I've ever slept on, this place is like an oasis. We traveled with two toddlers too and she made sure to include little extras for them. :) It isn't without quirk, of course. We happened to be visiting during one of the hottest times of year so we had to use the AC window units constantly while there which made it pretty loud inside, but wasn't really an issue. Also, as other reviewers had noted, the neighborhood is a little bit strange. The apartment itself is homey, cozy, and so wonderful, but the neighborhood is a little bit confusing...like I maybe wouldn't walk around after dark. We felt totally safe once inside but didn't hang out outside much. (Don't let that stop you from staying here. It really is a great place!)
We used our time staying here to venture into Rhode Island...we did the Cliff Walk and visited some of the beaches. Also the ICE CREAM is incredible! We loved the Ice Cream Barn. 😁

Perfect home base for seeing the area!!
Debora was wonderful and the check-in, check-out process was a breeze! She even provided some snacks for our arrival! Very thoughtful! The apartment was spacious with enough room to relax after a day of touring the area. Close enough to Cape Cod, Plymouth and of course all the Lizzie Borden sites!! I definitely reccommend this place!

Beautiful place and great host!
My boyfriend and I absolutely loved our stay! We went for a quick weekend getaway to celebrate our 9 year anniversary and this place was perfect and had everything we needed. It was also just a few minutes from museums, restaurants and attractions. Debora, our host was always very easy to contact and even bought us a cake for our anniversary which was very thoughtful. We felt right at home! Thank you!

Comfort and style!
Debora puts a lot of effort into making her guests feel comfortable. She cares about her guests and it shows. Very comfortable place, linens bed. We wanted for nothing. She even had continental breakfast for us. Very nice stay!

Cute apartment with great breakfast
We had a very nice stay in this unique space and enjoyed the vintage decor. Débora provided lots of good things for breakfasts for all three days, which was unusual for a VRBO and very convenient... plus it gave us a reason to use the pretty plates and coffee cups in the kitchen. The only downside was the bathroom, which was tiny enough to take this review down by a star, but it was adequate for the essentials and we managed.
