August 4,2007

In early July two friends and I attended a wedding in Cape Cod.When looking to book a room we considered the local hotels,but decided to look into The Beach Rose Inn Bed and Breakfast and did we hit the jackpot. We found it quite by accident but we are already looking forward to another stay. The house in itself is very quaint and lovely.We, (there were three of us) were given a beautiful room at the front of the house that included a porch. We had a great time relaxing at night with a glass of wine listening to all the evening noises, and the didn't include the sound of traffic.
Sheryl ,our hostess was a most gracious lady and was very helpful in advising us where to eat and what we should see.Her breakfasts were fabulous, and I must say she serves the most fantastic granola with fresh I have ever had.
We were even invited to a wine tasting on the back patio on Saturday evening. We had wonderful accomodations,great service,fantastic food and I recommend staying at The Beach Rose Inn when you visit Cape Cod.

The Beach Rose Inn is a great B&B tucked away from the traffic of downtown Falmouth and close to gorgeous beaches. The owners are incredibly kind and accomodating, the food was fabulous (fresh fruit every morning, great entrees), and our room was charming, comfortable, and clean. (I had the opportunity to see other rooms while we were there too and they were all similarly wonderful- some larger than others- all cozy, clean and well cared-for.)

The grounds were beautiful and well-maintained, with a great new deck and a water feature that rivals the best I've seen on HGTV- perfect for enjoying an evening glass of wine!

My husband and I both got massages at the inn as well which were great and wonderful to have on site.

I can't say enough about this place- we will definitely go back!

First the few good points: the inn was spotless; the inn owner was accommodating (i.e., made eggs when I didn’t care for the breakfast); mid week rate 3 nights for the price of 2. The usual room rate is $175 per day. However, the bad points turned me off. We had the Nobaska room, an extremely room small room made even smaller by a low ceiling. Almost the entire room was taken up by the king sized bed. . The bed linens looked as if they had been left in the dryer too long, they were badly wrinkled. They were not changed during our 3-night stay. The bathroom was tiny. I hit my head bending over in the shower to pick up the soap. The room was in the carriage house at the end of a noisy gravel driveway. If the noise of incoming cars didn’t wake us the head lights shinning directly into the window did. We took a walk and found a discarded toilet dumped the grounds. Unlike most B&B’s we have stayed at there was no fruit bowl or cookies to tide us over until breakfast is served at 8:30. Breakfast was adequate, but I suspect the orange juice was canned.

The Beach Rose Inn
West Falmouth, Cape Cod, Massachusetts


Situated on a quiet, tree-lined dead-end street in West Falmouth, The Beach Rose Inn offers guests a charming and lovely respite in Olde Cape Cod.

The rooms in the main inn are bright, romantic (but not gauche) and airy with comfortable beds and private baths. A room air conditioner is provided for sultry summer nights, and a charming “faux wood stove” (it’s actually an electric heater) takes the chill out of those cool summer evenings. Rooms in the carriage house each have their own entrance, offering guests additional privacy.

A light-filled veranda with wicker furniture provides a soothing place to relax and enjoy a morning coffee. And the coffee at The Beach Rose Inn is outstanding. Provided by Cape Cod Coffee Roasters of Mashpee, the coffee is delivered to the inn once a week – fresh-roasted.

Falmouth center, with its restaurants and boutiques, is a ten-minute drive. Woods Hole is also about ten minutes away. But my boyfriend and I decided to pedal our bicycles along the scenic, quaint roads until we reached the salty little port with its renowned oceanography center and daily ferries to Martha’s Vineyard. (A former railroad-trail, just outside the inn, is to be transformed into a bike path 2008 season, which will link West Yarmouth to Woods Hole, carrying bicyclists through beautiful fauna and wild landscape.)

Innkeepers Sheryll and Douglas Reichwein, Cape Cod Natives who have owned and operated the Beach Rose Inn since October 2006, are friendly and gracious hosts. Sheryl cheerfully shares area “insider tips” to guests interested in exploring greater Falmouth and beyond, including the Cape’s secluded Outer Banks, the artistic alternative village of Provincetown, and Martha’s Vineyard (the inn sells ferry passes to Martha’s Vineyard, departing from Woods Hole).

During our visit, Douglas was busy building a new deck that, when finished, will offer guests outdoor dining overlooking the beautifully landscaped, lush backyard.

A pleasant young staff keeps the guest rooms clean and serves the breakfast that Sheryl prepares. As two traveling vegans, we appreciated the soy fruit-yogurt, homemade granola (maple syrup; not honey!), soy milk, and delightful fruit salad that were presented to us each morning. We observed nonvegan guests enjoying French toast, what looked to be a vegetable/egg frittata, and bacon (not soy bacon, though, so we abstained!). Fresh juice and tea were also offered, along with the fabulous coffee. We also appreciated Sheryll and Douglas’s extra accommodation of a small refrigerator in our room for our own vegan snacks (and beer!).

We chose The Beach Rose Inn for our four-night stay to be nearby relatives, who were visiting from Ireland, and staying at a seacoast resort/conference center three miles away on Old Silver Beach. Initially, we had considered staying at this same resort, but after reading mediocre to poor reviews about this resort on Trip Advisor, we opted not to – and instead discovered the lovely Beach Rose. We were not disappointed (unfortunately, our relatives who stayed at their seacoast resort were disappointed).

The Beach Rose Inn is a wonderful place to relax and lazily explore Olde Cape Cod. We departed the Beach Rose feeling soothed, calm, healthy and refreshed. We happily recommend this delightful inn to other visitors seeking similar experience and who could appreciate a comfortable and soothing alternative to nearby larger and impersonal resort accommodations.
