"The rooms were VERY small, but otherwise adequate. It is near everything and the staff members were very helpful and friendly. Scargo Restaurant is right down the road (take right leaving property) and the food is great. Further down the same road is the Cape Cod Art Museum (the theatre and movies are also there). The Museum is wonderful and the sculpture garden there is really interesting."

The Inn At Cape Cod

10/10 Excellent
"This was one of the BEST bnb we have ever stayed in. We stayed in suite 5 at the top of the stairs with a seating area and fireplace and a large patio with outdoor furniture and card table. We used all of the space during our visit. There was a rainy day in the 60s so we dried out by the fire with books from the used shop across the street. Breakfast was delicious and very fussed over to be perfection. The owners are so lovely and helpful and I just cannot say enough about this beautiful inn. Stay here!"
