Just back from a FANTASTIC stay at the Lamb and Lion. We had the "Innkeeper's Pride" suite for the weekend and it lived up to every one of our expectations. The inn overall was great: everything from the fresh baked goods at breakfast to the spacious room with a woodburning fireplace to the very comfortable bed. All the comforts of a luxury resort with all the attention of a very small B&B.

Tom and Alice were great hosts and afforded us all the privacy we wanted but still managed to make sure everything we needed was taken care of immediately.

Recommendations for restaurants and things to do were perfect.

All in all, could not have been a better stay or a more delightful inn.

it's everything it says it is ...and more. Tom and Alice have created a unique and special getaway. The personal touches, as well as the excellent local advice were unexpected and made our stay both fun and relaxing. I think everytime we go back now we are going to try each of the rooms one by one...because, although our room was excellent, I peeked in the other rooms and they each had their own character. Highly recommended for a weekend or a week.

After the tourist information advised us to take route 6A and NOT route 6 the fun begun. When we stopped for a drink and sat down on the terras at the Taverne in Barnstable we asked for a good Bed and Breakfast. The waiter immediately recommended the Lamb and the Lion to us and was so kind to give us the telephone number. We called and booked for one night.
We really loved what we saw when we arrived at the place. Very friendly reception, fantastic room and lovely situated swimming pool. We changed our travel plans and stayed for another night. The book in the room with the history off the Inn, its owners and the funny dogs, also gave excellent recommendations for dining and many other things. At breakfast there is always a surprise home made baking dish. Eating and sipping your coffee on the deck with garden view with only the sound of birds around you is a wonderful relaxing experience.
Tom and Alice made us feel very welcome, we will surely see them again!

we just spent a wonderful weekend at the lamb and the lion. located in midcape, it was a very convenient base of operation from which to visit all part of the cape. tom and alice are extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and provides you with a book with a ton of recommendations. not only did they give us pointers in where to do the best antique hunting and the-can't-miss local instutions, they even helped us book reservations at restaurants. the best part was when they connected us with John the Oysterman [--] and we had the most amazing experience working on the beach, seeing how oysters are grown, and of course, eating fresh oysters.... and at the end of the day, we always looked forward to a soak in the hottub, and slept knowing that alice's home baked muffins waited for us in the morning...
