Perfect B&B experience!

It was not only our first time visiting Cape Cod , but also our first time staying at a bed and breakfast and honestly, it couldn’t have been any more perfect! Carol and Jeff and staff made you feel like you were at home! Breakfast was creative and delicious! The atmosphere was so tranquil and relaxing. They even provided us with some great tips on sites to see and restaurants to visit This place is 5 stars! From the quality of the bedding and towels to the 5 star touches like homemade cookies and truffles on the bed! Thank you so much for all you did for us! We hope to be back next year! May God Bless you all❤️

The Captain Farris House is a beautiful place to stay. We had an amazing time. The room was beautiful and clean. Carol, the owner, was so kind and welcoming. The property is gorgeous and it’s very conveniently located to most attractions on the cape. The breakfast each day was incredible and the staff was super friendly and helpful with great tips for getting around. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, beautiful place to stay in Cape Cod.
