Captains House Inn

My husband and I went and stayed here. It was wonderful from start to finish! My mother and her fiancé had chosen the Inn for their elopement. The staff was so attentive! Jill the owner was amazing. She made recommendations and reservations for us in advance. The places she suggested were both amazing. The breakfast that is included was freshly prepared by a fantastic chef. I would highly recommend this and will definitely go back again.

We honeymooned here 5 years ago and loved our experience here the first time so much that we decided that for our 5 year anniversary (and our first kid-​free vacation since becoming parents 4 years ago) we wanted to return. As we pulled into the inn the first night, I giddily told my husband that this was «my happy place.» We still love this place. The service is wonderful (the inn hires British interns who are studying hospitality), the food is delicious, and the rooms are great too. The inn manages to strike a quaint, but warm atmosphere. Their breakfasts were filling enough that we had very light lunches/​leftovers from the delicious meals we had at local restaurants recommended by the innkeepers (³⁄₃ we tried were winners!) and the staff was super-​accommodating in helping us warm our leftovers up and sending us back up to our room with extra silverware, etc… We enjoyed the cream teas each afternoon and the cookies at night as well. For our honeymoon, we stayed in the Clarissa suite and were blown away by its spaciousness and the amazing bathroom. This time, we stayed in the Eliza Jane and enjoyed its coziness. We’re already planning to come back for our 10 year anniversary :)

Well worth the stay. We only stayed two nights but everything was amazing. The breakfast may have been the best breakfast I’ve ever had. The buffet is good and the rotating menu options are great. Jill the inn keeper was very attentive and aware of all the customers in the inn. The rooms were lovely. The pool area is comfortable and clean. They offered home made cookies at night. There were cold water bottles that were free to grab whenever. They also had coolers, beach chairs and towels for the beach.
I feel like I am missing many more elements that made the stay great. I will most certainly go back next summer !

My husband and I eloped there in November 2014. I couldn’t have been happier with the decision… not only because I am madly in love with my husband, but because we picked an amazing spot to celebrate our romance!
The Inn Keeper, Jill, was our JP. She was amazing. Everything was custom to our requests and she was very kind and patient, even re-​arranging her afternoon so we could change our ceremony time to a bit later in the day.
Our room, which was beautiful, featured a jacuzzi tub, shower and fireplace. The linens were clean and the room was well kept. There was even classical music playing in the room when we arrived. We had the Inn make us reservations for dinner both nights we were there and the restaurant recommendations were right on.
I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a quiet, quaint getaway. It was a beautiful place and the cake they gave us as part of our wedding celebration was excellent!

I agree with every great thing said about the inn. Beautiful grounds, great service and lovely, BIG room with a huge soaking tub. We stayed in Trade Winds. Jill was there at breakfast both mornings to make sure all was good… and it was.
Staff was beyond helpful. they were young ladies from Great Britain in training for service.
We were there Sept. 8 and 9. Perfect time, perfect weather.

We stayed there last weekend. I needed a get away to de-​stress. This was an hours drive from our house and our first INN experience. It was wonderful. The room was terrific and was larger than the picture showed. The grounds were wonderful (for April). I can only imagine how beautiful it will be in another month. Everything was wonderful. We fell in love with this Inn and with Chatham. You won’t be disappointed.

We lucked out by getting this inn on hotwire. After checking out their website I called to add the «romantic package» (bottle of local sparkling wine and fruit and cheese plate) for my boyfriend’s birthday as a surprise. They were incredibly pleasant on the phone.
When we arrived we were surrounded by Cape charm. The grounds are immaculate and stunning. We loved that there was no desk and we were greeting by and introduced to the staff. We stayed in the Cape Lady and it was absolutely beautiful. Upon arrival my «romantic package» was in the room, complete with the card I had requested. My boyfriend was thrilled and the fruit and cheese selections were amazing! The sparkling wine was surprisingly good, and really the star for me was the rosemary cashews, you’ll have to try them.
We had breakfast outside, which was beautiful. Even the indoor seating is in a bright sunroom. My boyfriend praised the smoked salmon and the omelettes we ordered were unique and quite delicious. We sadly ran out of time to enjoy tea or croquet on the lawn, but we did make use of the DVD library, which has a varied and large selection for any mood.
This was our first B&B experience and it has quite possibly spoiled us. This is a charming and romantic inn in a beautiful town. We will most certainly be back for a longer stay next time to enjoy all the things we missed!

Quaint and charming! Personal service was phenomenal! We slept in one day and they called us at 10:00 am to see if we wanted breakfast delivered to the room. (which we did)
We stayed in Intrepid and it was very comfortable. Location was great as Main Street and the Pier were within walking distance. The property was beautiful with stunning trees, English & herb gardens and a lush green lawn for croquet. High tea was a nice touch. Overall a relaxing, quiet and private experience. I highly recommend this B&B!

Folks I hope I don’t sound cliché but this is one of the best B&Bs i had ever stayed in the MA area. This is an excellent place if you want that romantic getaway. The English breakfast was outstanding and Jill one of the owners would stop by to chat. You walk in and its like going back in time in this charming place.

My girlfriend took me here for my surprise 33^rd birthday last weekend, and though it was the off season, Cape Cod was still beautiful.
Staying at the Captain’s House Inn was very pleasant, I really enjoyed the English breakfasts, as well as the punctual coffee and juice delivery in the mornings.
Our bathroom though was a little cramped, I hit my head a few times on the staircase above the toilet.
There was a nice collection of movies to watch in the study, as well as free brandy and sherry. The gas fireplace kept us very warm at night too.
I liked my stay at the Captain’s Inn, it really made me feel like a captain for a weekend ;0)

We visited the Cape last summer and, to date, it has been one of my favorite weekends in New England. Captain’s House Inn only added to the charm. The innkeepers were friendly and helpful, the room was beautiful and clean, and the location was perfect. Breakfast was also very yummy. Everything was simply bed and breakfast perfection.

We’ve stayed a B&Bs all over New England, from Maine to Rhode Island. The Captain’s House was the most satisfying. At the end of our stay, we could not think of a single thing to complain about, so I’ll just make a short list of what we really loved about it.
Our room was spacious and everything worked. For the duration of our stay, the weather outside was hot and humid, but it was always a relief to return to our room at the inn. The A/​C responded quickly as did the gas fireplace late at night (more for ambience). The bathroom was well appointed with every amenity one could want. The décor was rustic, tasteful, classic. Outdoors the grounds and gardens surrounding the main home and cottages were delightful. Plenty of lush green spaces and a nicely cared for herb garden and several fountains. The pool is large and super clean. We found the staff were friendly, personable and always helpful, but not intrusive. The meals were far better than expected. Oh my gosh, the food was SO good! The dining room was clean and bright, tables set beautifully with bone china accents, and surrounded by windows to the gardens. There is also seating for dining outdoors. I still can’t get over the breakfasts. The blueberry pancakes were thick and substantial, drenched in wild blueberries, but not overwhelmed in syrup. The Waffles Foster have a delicious caramel sauce that makes you want more, even though portions are always generous. There are egg dishes, smoked salmon, sausage, etc., and other breakfast options including fresh baked goods daily. They serve high tea in the afternoon, but we were always too busy, out sight seeing, to partake.
These were just some highlights. The Captains House Inn is in an ideal location for access around the Chatham area. I would highly recommend it. I could tell the owners have spent a lot of time finessing the experience so that no details are missed. Whenever we left for an outing, our room was always cleaned before we returned. Even when we took a fairly brief trip away, we came back to a cleaned up room. In the evening, they even provide bed turn down service with chocolate truffles left for us, just as with best hotels. This inn was a place we looked forward to returning to each day of our Chatham stay. Two thumbs up, definitely. We’ll come back again.

What a nice surprise for a bed-​and-​breakfast!
This place is run during the day by English hospitality students who take everything that they do seriously. Which means that the attention to detail for a bed and breakfast was much higher than usual, a great surprise.
Additionally, they had high tea (and not to mention English accents) — so really felt like we had gone back to Britain for a night! Of course, the Earl Grey was glorious. And lavender scones + clotted cream = absolutely delicious. Definitely the high point of the stay, even better than the breakfast.
The room itself was nicely spacious as well, and a really nice touch that they had a DVD library available — which we took to use!
What a fun stay. Definitely recommend if you decide to stay in Chatham!

We loved it! They had every detail covered, from the free wifi in the rooms, to brownies at night, to printed out directions to various restaurants and sites in the area. There service was outstanding! We were going to miss breakfast and they called us to tell us they could bring it to our room.

Beautiful grounds and facility!
The best and most wonderfully surprising part was the array of gluten free foods they were willing to make for me daily. They must have known the way to my heart is through food! The rooms were quiet and nicely furnished. I would have preferred a room without carpets but it was clean and the bed comfortable.
Tea every day was extremely relaxing, breakfast was busy but quiet.
Great romantic get away!

Went back for High Tea… today was actually Holiday High Tea. My daughter and I were here a few years back. We enjoyed the great weather by heading to Chatham. After poking around in some stores and then headed for our 2 PM reservation. The entire inn is decorated brightly for the holidays. High tea was served in the conservatory. It was warm and bright with lovely views of the gardens with roses in bloom in Nov.
The tea was 18.00 pp. The three tiers featured savory sandwiches, scones and sweets plus a dish of homemade English trifle. We loved the mushroom pasties and the Branston Pickle and English Cheddar sandwiches. The trifle was delicious. We packed all of the cakes and cookies for my daughter to take back to college as we were full. Oh the pots of tea were delicious. I appreciated that they were decanted and hot and steaming.
It’s a charming spot. I highly recommend this for a perfect Holiday High Team on Cape Cod.

We have stayed twice just incredible. Everyone is so nice rooms were excellent staff excellent can’t wait to go back!!!

We just returned from our fourth stay at this excellent bed and breakfast. The owners and staff have been gracious, welcoming, and overall excellent in providing every comfort we could imagine during each of our stays.
The last two years we’ve stayed in the Lydia Harding Suite, which is absolutely fantastic, while previously we’ve stayed in the Clarissa Suite and the Lady Hope room, which were also very nice.
The breakfasts have been consistently fabulous, and the other amenities, such as afternoon tea, and late night snacks have been very enjoyable. They have a nice pool (where they’ll serve you lunch if you don’t want to stir from your relaxation time), and a small fitness center (to help work off those decadent breakfasts).
We have loved every stay here and plan on returning every year.

Delightful! Now, an afternoon bridal tea where the host requested guests to don a «going to the derby» hat might sound corny, or snobby, or prissy, but I can tell you I had a wonderful girly time. The house was exquisite and the tea and goodies were scumptious. Felt like something out of a storybook. Anne of Green Gables perhaps?
I was recently up in Cape Cod for a wedding, and we had this bridal tea for bridesmaids and close friends the day before. When my oversized straw hat wasn’t flopping in my eyes, I took in the beautiful cape-​style house and property. We enjoyed our tea in the sun room, looking out onto hydrangeas and fountain on the lawn. It got a little warm, but an unexpected treat on the way to the loo was the air contioned library/​sitting room you had to pass through that again felt like something out of a novel.
Everything we ate and drank was delcious. About a dozen teas to choose from, all served in a personal teapot each a different design. My chai was delicious and everyone kept raving about the english breakfast and earl grey varieties. First course was miniature sandwiches or «savories» — ham & cheese crêpe, turkey on cranberry pecan bread, cucumber & cream cheese, and more, yumm. Second course was scones with crème fraîche, homemade jam and strawberries, as well as an assortment of mini cakes and cookies — the ginger/​toffee bar and strawberry shortcake were a couple favs.
However, the icing on the cake (or high-​heel shoe-​shaped cookie as it were), was our server was authentically British!
Not sure how many of you are looking for a private tea party on the cape, but if you are, definitely do it at the Captain’s House!

Very relaxing.
My stay here was in the Lady Mariah room. Everything about my stay was wonderful. The room was quiet and private as well as beautiful. Have you ever heard of pumpkin pine? The floors are a beautiful glowing natuarally pumpkin colored pine-​gorgeous!
Breakfasts were delicious and satisfying. Service was perfect and the hosts/​inn keepers were very gracious.
The Captain’s House makes a great home base from which to visit the shore and Chatham is a great point from which to explore the rest of the cape.
I look forward to my return!
