My family and I have stayed at this inn before, and the new owners extended a warm welcome to us in June 2022 as well. We love this inn and highly recommend it. It is less than a mile from Chatham Center which is the perfect location to stay on the Cape and not be too far from any town you want to visit. The inn's grounds are beautiful, they have a variety of rooms to choose from, they serve a wonderful breakfast and even offer high tea. There are snacks in your room and you can enjoy some fresh baked cookies from the kitchen in the evening. There is a casual elegance to the inn and it is quiet, peaceful, and comfortable to be there. We have already made our reservations for 2023! We are very glad to have found such a wonderful place to stay when we are on Cape Cod!

Property's Favorite Review
My husband & I loved everything about Captain's House Inn!! Beautiful grounds & location. Staff were wonderful (Lauren & Mary) greeted us at check in, so welcoming & personable. We stayed in Lady Hope and I was beyond pleased, it was so quaint and has all the necessary toiletries. We were served tea & scones in the back patio, it brought me back in time as if we were in a London garden. Breakfast was even better, made to order omelet with pesto & mozzarella cheese. I'm drooling thinking about it!! I am so happy knowing this kind of old fashion Inn accommodation and service still exist, that delivers special attention and create beautiful memories. We will definitely stay again if I'm fortunate enough to return, I'll make sure we'll stay multiple nights this time :))

We stayed in this hotel because it was so highly rated. It’s a pretty colonial house outside of Chatham. Our room was the garden room, a small room outside of the main house. For the price it’s is not unreasonable to expect some luxury and refinement , expect to be disappointed. The WiFi worked intermittently and was slow. The TV worked on one channel. This is a glorified guest house so there are no hotel services, at night a number is available to call assistance. On arriving the young manager explained that we should expect a great breakfast served in the conservatory, Again expect to be underwhelmed. The room is functional not stylish. The breakfast is served by untrained people from a menu that is less than special. On our last day it took an hour for breakfast to served and it was poorly cooked and presented. The staff seemed overwhelmed by five tables. Our bill for three days was nearly $1000. Allowing for this being an expensive part of the world this is poor value. The atmosphere is amateurish and more about charm than service and value for money. This place is overpriced and overrated.…

What a delightful place! Spacious rooms (we stayed in #9), nicely and comfortably furnished. Bed was very comfy! Loved the gas fire place and warm homey feeling. Staff were great, especially Stephanie who is super attentive and tirelessly going out of her way to do extra things for the guests. Breakfasts were delicious and cookies/coffee/tea in afternoon/evening as well as the complimentary port and sherry was nice. Grounds looked great, wish we where there in the summer.

My husband and I went away this past weekend to just get away and escape reality. We arrived on Saturday afternoon the Inn was charming. The main house was so cozy with the afternoon tea by the fire on a cold winter’s day. Because it was the dead of winter it was pretty quiet, which we loved. The Innkeeper/staff was wonderful and breakfast was delicious in morning. Our room was spacious and had all the amenities we wanted. Jacuzzi tub was heaven and the fire place was very warm for a gas fireplace. My only complaint was the comfort of the bed, it was the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever stayed on and we struggled getting comfortable. Left early on Monday both with back aches. I would not return because of this reason, which is too bad, because we did love the Inn and location. Susan and Rik…

This pains me but must be said - we’ve been coming here for over 12 years. Very disappointed, always provided a fruit plate in our room with a thank you. No outside lights AT ALL and no one available to report to after 8pm. WiFi non existent - only non secure guest WiFi offered, which was useless. I could not access anything. This is a small inn - no e cuss for the non existent WiFi especially when you are paying $300 plus a night. Not to mention that the outlets were too loose, power cords wouldn’t stay in. Hair in sink, remote batteries dead. Definitely not up to par, not worth the money.

We are sorry you were disappointed with your most recent stay with us. Unless you ordered and paid for a fruit plate - we do not provide this to all guests. Like the rest of the world, we are extremely short-staffed, which is why there is only a member of staff on site until 8. We do provide contact information in case you need to reach anyone after those hours. We are not sure why you were having issues with the Wifi. We would have been happy to try and resolve the issue if we had known about it. Again, we are sorry you didn't enjoy your stay with us. Please feel free to reach out to us to discuss your stay with us further.

Gracious hospitality, lovely rooms, generosity in all aspects, but the icing on the cake is their food! Breakfasts are a treat and then add their cream teas in the afternoon and nighttime cookies! All around a memorable experience. The courtesy of their staff is unparalleled. Thank you.

My wife and I stayed here for four nights in mid-August 2021. On the positive side, the breakfasts were very good, the staff was accommodating and the grounds were spacious and well maintained. HOWEVER, our room, the Whirlwind, was terrible. It was dark, musty and did not have proper HVAC. They had installed a noisy temporary AC unit because the usual AC was out. The toilet did not work very well, paint all over the room was chipped and there was no closet for our hanging clothes only a small armoire, the door to which kept crashing into some of the random used furniture every time we opened it. The room was cluttered with unusable Salvation Army furniture and in the middle of the room were two huge chairs which took up most of the space. These chairs were totally different from the smaller ones shown on the website. Finally, the mattress was very soft and my wife found it very difficult to sleep on. The Inn should be embarrassed about charging $390 a night for this room. On our way home we stayed at a Hampton Inn, hardly a top of the line hotel, but it had much better amenities.…

We appreciate you taking the time to review us. We are saddened to hear that you did not enjoy your room. Many guests have previously stayed in the Whirlwind room and have been overwhelmingly happy with their stay. We apologize for the temporary AC unit, we are in the process of getting the original replaced. The Whirlwind room, along with all other 16 rooms, contains more 'antique' furnishings which adds to the 1800 charm of the place. While it may be easy to compare the inn to a hotel or a resort, that is simply not what we are. It is disheartening for us that at no point during your stay did you express any concern to us that you were not happy with your room. If you had communicated your concerns with us, we would have been more than happy to resolve the situation by offering you another room we had available. We always encourage guests to let us know if anything during their stay is unsatisfactory so that we can do our best to resolve the issue.

We stayed here for several nights while on a visit to Cape Cod. From check in to check out we felt very pampered. The Elizajane Suite is cozy but felt plenty spacious enough for my husband and me . The bathroom is huge! Breakfasts are cooked to order from a large menu of choices and a delicious afternoon tea is served as well. The grounds are lovely and offer many places to sit and relax. But the very best part of this lovely inn is the staff who all go out of their way to make each guest feel welcome.

Everyone from the manager to wait staff were wonderful and interested in the best experience for the guests. We were greeted by the manager and showed the layout of the facilities. They truly seem to care for their guests. Some nice touches include fresh baked cookies in the evening if you skipped dessert at dinner. We did take advantage of this. In the morning, they offer a full breakfast. We are familiar with the area but listened as the waitress gave other, out of state visitors, ideas on where to spend the day. She was spot on with her recommendations. The breakfast was individually prepared and perfectly presented. Our room reservation was changed several times due to issues at the inn. Each time we were offered our choice of available rooms and were offered an "extra" and chose a cheese plate in return for the changes. We ended up in the Captain Hiram Harding Room. The room was massive with a king size bed, two recliners and a couch and room to move around. The bed and linens were very comfortable and the room was quiet. The only negative to our whole visit was that the room smelled musty. It needed a good airing out. The windows opened but only stayed open with a stick. I would love to give the Inn a five star rating. It may be that the room had not been used in some time due to Covid,…

Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us, and we truly appreciate the kind comments about our staff! We are very sorry you found the Hiram Harding room musty. Unfortunately, as much as we clean it and air it out, it does tend to get that way. The Hiram Harding room is part of the original 1839 building, and with it being such an old building, sometimes that musty smell can occur. We appreciate the feedback and will look into other ways we can approve this issue with the room. We hope you stay with us again one day!
