We stayed at captain Farris house for 2nights. It was a wonderful experience. Breakfast was yummy. Our room and entire house was very clean. Lots of extras such as help yourself to soda, popcorn, DVDs,,cookies, teas and coffee. The bed sheets felt like silk and they smelled wonderful. The bed was so cozy. There are these great little cucumber oatmeal soaps and organic glycerin face soap. Sherry and Port wine are in the parlor for you to help yourself to a before or after dinner drink. I could go on and on. You will not regret staying here! The location is perfect for getting around cape cod as well.

My husband took me here last week to celebrate my birthday. When we arrived in our suite their was a gift and a card for me which the Innkeeper had placed on the newly decorated bed. I was touched at her thoughtful gesture. What a lovely way to kick off birthday week! My husband and I have been coming to the CFH for years. The house is decorated with originality and panache. The result is inviting and comfortable. We have come to expect the best when we vacation here and have yet to be disappointed. Our hosts create a no stress environment and do so effortlessly. We feel at home in the atrium filled with symphony music, the large and welcoming suite with romantic gas fireplace and the bright and cozy breakfast nook. Although it is always sad to leave when our trip is over, when we do we are refreshed and rested. It doesn't hurt that we leave well-fed either. I almost forgot to mention that breakfast is awesome. The CFH staff were unruffled with the dietary restrictions I had and simply incorporated them into their menu. Once you visit you will not want to go anywhere else!

We stayed here for two nights in the Davis Room. We loved it. Everything is so clean and inviting. Every detail is tended to. Nancy made us feel so welcome and at home. Breakfast was delicious. It was a wonderful romantic weekend and we can't wait to go back in the fall.

November 30, 2012
We were in the process of booking our stay at the Captain Farris House for next season and thought we would write about our experience of last season's stay. We have stayed at many bed and breakfasts and this is by far our favorite. It is such a nice atmosphere. Nancy, the innkeeper is very gracious and seems to always be there when you need her but at the same time gives us our privacy. Her breakfast is delicious and something we looked forward to each morning. The rooms are very clean and so pretty without all the fluffiness you find at some places. We are looking forward to our next visit. We stayed in the Phoebe White Room and it is as big as our apartment!
5 out of 5Lovely Stay
October 10, 2012
My mother and I decided to take a Fall Break and travel through New England. After flying into Boston, we headed to the Cape Cod area. We spent our first two nights at The Captain Farris House in South Yarmouth. We were not disappointed. My mom had never really done any traveling and had never stayed in a B&B. We stayed at B&B's everywhere we stopped during in our trip and even she said this was the best place we stayed. The inn keepers were nice and made us feel welcome. Our room was lovely and comfortable. They took care of the little things that really made it feel like home - goodies in the common area (sodas, water, coffee, hot tea, cookies, fruit), a place to store leftovers, movies to take to our room and popcorn to go with it, an evening sherry or glass of port, a very strong and fast wi-fi connection, and chocolates in our room. The breakfast each morning was excellent. It was convenient to the ferry terminals in Hyannisport to travel to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard. It is very close to the beach. The property is beautiful inside and out. I am so glad we selected this property for our stay in this area. It really was simply splendid.

This place was great. The room nice. The breakfast was great. This is the first time we have stayed at a bed and breakfast, and we really liked it.

I cannot even begin to describe how wonderful my first visit to the Captain Farris House was! My friend and I decided to take a girls' trip to Cape Cod and since we had never been before, we started researching where to stay online. I kept reading great reviews about the CFH and we decided to give it a try! What a fabulous find! This was my first experience staying in a B&B in the USA, so I was a little nervous, but there was NO need- this place was incredible!!! The house is on a quiet street and is beautifully kept. There is a large parking lot for guests around back which was easily accessible. Linda greeted us at the front door and chatted with us about the area and suggested several spots to eat/visit. She was so friendly and gave a lovely tour of the property. Our suite was fabulous! Two large rooms and a large (super clean) bathroom with very plush linens (and divine little soaps). The bedroom had a flat screen tv, with cable and a DVD player (several dvds available to borrow at the CFH). Each room has its own AC unit and the entire house has WIFI. It was fast most of the time, but at certain "busy" times we could only get it to work in the sitting room. There is complimentary coffee/tea/hot chocolate, soda, cookies and popcorn available 24/7! You don't see this anymore even at 5 star hotels! This was such a great amenity as my friend and I both enjoy tea and coffee during the day! There is also a complimentary breakfast each morning - what a treat! This is not your standard "muffin & coffee", Linda and Howard make full gourmet breakfasts, complete with a waiter serving you each dish. Sadly we did not get to try the "world famous" blueberry pancakes we kept reading about in our guest book - maybe next year! The location cannot be beat - We will absolutely be visiting again! Thank you SO much for welcoming us into your home!
