    We stayed at The Captain Farris Inn the end of October. Everything was perfect from the breakfast to the peaceful historic surroundings. Great hospitality with plenty of privacy. We loved that we could have breakfast at our own table and not at a community table, a romantic touch! This was our second visit and we are looking forward to our third.

    If you're looking for a weekend of romance, look no further than The Captain Farris House B&B. My fiance and I stayed at the inn this past August for the first time and we were floored! We've stayed at many inns all over New England, and this one surpasses them all. The inn itself is absolutely stunning - on the inside and the out. The rooms are very spacious and beautifully decorated. All the rooms have private bathrooms, which is a huge plus. We stayed in Room #2 (Captain's Quarters) and let me tell you - it was romance at its best! From the canopy bed, to the jacuzzi bathtub, there wasn't a moment that we didn't feel relaxed and in love! Nancy and Michael, the innkeepers, were beyond hospitable and welcoming. We could immediately tell that they LOVE what they do! They are passionate about their inn - and know EVERYTHING there is to know about things to do in Cape Cod! The food was incredible - from the afternoon teas and cookies - to the decadent breakfasts prepared each morning (all homemade by Nancy!). We cannot say enough about this B&B. We already booked our reservations for this summer (we're staying for a whole week this year...one weekend simply wasn't enough!).

    Captain Farris House A very comfortable and exceptionally well run inn in a good position to explore Cape Cod. It has nice rooms and a bright and sunny breakfast room. The breakfasts were excellent, and thoughtfully prepared and presented, although, being British, we still can’t quite get the idea of eating muffins with breakfast! There is a good restaurant within two minutes walk. We were greeted on arrival by the interim managers, John and Rosie as the inn owner was away. John and Rosie were excellent hosts and great fun. We were so impressed by their care and attention to running the inn and the way they looked after the guests that we actually recommended them to another inn owner for later on when they may also have to be away from their business for a time!
