We just had a fabulous weekend at the Cape Arundel Inn. Can't say enough about everything. This was our first trip to the Inn and we are already planning our next stay next summer. The views were beautiful. The staff exceptional. Patrick helped us out checking on our tee times at the golf course and making a reservation for dinner... More

From the moment we arrived we were made so comfortable by the friendly and professional staff and the inviting and casually elegant atomosphere of the Cape Arundel Inn. The front porch has cushioned wicker couches and loveseats that invite you to sit and relax and enjoy the beautiful water view across the street. They think of all the little things... More

We were so sorry to leave this wonderful place. We discovered the Inn last year, but there was only a vacancy for one night. This year we made reservations early. Our three nights were not long enough. The view from our room was fantastic, and the room was so very comfortable. The grounds are beautiful, and the inn is well... More

For the past several years we have celebrated our anniversary by dining at one of our favorite restaurants, the Cape Arundel Inn. It has always epitomized fine dining--lovely environment, piano music, impeccable service. Our dinner there tonight, however, was an unfortunate exception. There were no candles or flowers on our table; our waitress, while pleasant, did not appear to be... More

My wife and I have visited the Inn for the past 4 years in late April. Have had great visits every year without exception. We only stay 1 or 2 nights, but have yet to eat dinner elsewhere - so much easier to walk downstairs for a gourmet meal and not worry about driving back. Every room is unique, and... More
