Simmons Homestead Inn

This was our first time staying at a B&B. The location was great. The yard, porch & hammocks were wonderful. The food was average and the room itself needed a little updating. We are hooked now on B&Bs. Feels more like home.

We stayed in 2006 for our anniversary, and this time was even better. We had a lovely spacious room in the annex. Bill & his staff were friendly & easy-going. Gorgeous red cats were meticulously groomed. Jaw-dropping collection of British sportscars -- fantastic!

We stayed at Simmons Homestead Inn over Labor Day weekend. We just adopted a puppy we didn't have the heart to leave for a long weekend & this place worked out great. Wonderful staff, very hospitable.

Bill is charming and quirky which comes through in his decor of animal based rooms. The rooms were clean but need some TLC, however the bed was too hard for my back and by the 3rd morning I had to go downstairs to the sofa. Breakfast was fine with no choices, but put all on one plate, fruit and eggs together, would have preferred separately. The first day we did Bill's tour of lower Cape Cod which was good. We met the other charming guests and dogs (you need to be an animal lover) at wine hour. Patty, Bill's housekeeper was lovely and helpful - I was allowed to do the laundry as we had been on the road for more than 4 days! All in all a pleasant stay.

Room was dusty and their was mold growing on the curtains and walls and lampshade. Chairs in our rooms sitting area were spotted and one was torn from wear. They don't vacuum the floors or sweep them when they clean each day. Also, found it unsettling that there are no locks on the doors to lock your stuff up while out. Breakfast, while all you can eat is limited to what is being made that morning so you better like it! Disappointing to hear a microwave going off at a B&B. Coffee was warm at best and no half and half cause the Innkeeper didn't want to serve it - so too bad if you prefer your coffee with half and half.

Bill, thank you for everything, we loved the place, we have a nice time around. It was great for my my dog Sasha, we'll be back! Beautiful inn. Great home.

The Homestead Inn is a wonderful place to take a break from the world. My family of 4 were very well tended to. Building is almost 250 yrs old yet is very well maintained, some area's need work but overall very nice. The caretaker is a wonderfully knowledgeable man. Knows everywhere and happy to guide you in a non-obtrusive way. Helps with everything from menu's to coupons. Being horribly allergic to cats I have to mention that there are 24 on the premises. I was vaguely aware of the odor only when I went into the caretakers Scotch room. Other than that no issue! Breakfasts were home cooked and to order-- he cooks you eat what he orders! Room for car buffs as well. I think 58 great old cars. Make sure you make at least 1 wine hour. His help, Patty is delightful. One last thought, if you sleep in #12 bring a sleep mask as large skylights will wake you up if your a light sleeper. Outstanding overall experience. Thank you Bill. You were right about the Boston Streets as well as everywhere else you sent us. Mark, Steph and the girls.

Great inn - interesting and unique innkeeper and house. Plan on many more visits.

You could spend hours reading The Walls. Bill (a very interesting Innkeeper) is clever and has put a lot of effort making this place unique and fun! Between the cars and cats there is so much to see!

What a wonderful place to stay! Bill the innkeeper was a wealth of knowledge about Cape Cod. It is a place we will return to.

Laid back host, comfortable inn and a great car museum (worth a stop just for that if you like sports cars). All you can eat breakfast and lots of helpful information about the area.

Room on 1st floor at a slope. Opening at floor of shower on one side. Stained old towels, dirty, desk fan, as no A/C had built up dirt. Dirty floors, carpet, dust. Allowed dogs, a plus, but won't stay there again.

Enjoyed my stay very much. This is my third time at Simmons B&B. Wonderful.

I love this inn. The decor is fabulous and they gave me all the information I needed to make my stay enjoyable. Food was great and I felt like a princess with the canopy bed.

We had a lovely time. One of the few pet friendly places around. Treated like one of the family.

My husband & I recently stayed at the Simmons Homestead for a few days in July. Everything about the place was charming. Every day we saw new things in and around the house that made us chuckle. Bill was a gracious host -- who gave us all the info we needed daily fun where to eat -- what to do -- maps & directions & good tips. My husband totally enjoyed Bill's car collection. Will be returning.

Host was very good and provided valuable information for dinning out and excellent directions and information on tourist sites.

Clean, rustic, charming place. Bill is a wonderful host, friendly, open, accomodating, gives honest advice re: what to do/ where to go. Rooms are interestingly animal themed. Will definitely go back.

Never heard back from the Long Dell. I was doing it the day before we were going . That was the problem. We did stay and the Simmons Homestead Inn, a B and B. Very interesting place , but you have to like animals. It is in Hyannis. Nice quiet place. bill is a gracious Host.

Excellent - Bill is the quintessential host! Looking forward to a return visit.

Excellent Inn to stay at!! Very pleasant staff & experience!! Be back soon!!
