Spent two lovely evenings at the Captain's House Inn. Talk about charm! April is the perfect time of year to visit the Cape as the summer traffic has not yet begun. We stayed in a room named Clarissa, and it was everything and more that I expected from the pictures on the website. If you like lots of windows and beautiful sunshine streaming in, this is the room for you. Literally three walls of windows in the bedroom, and it had an adjoining sitting room with fireplace. I love the layout of the rooms - we didn't share a common wall with any other guests. It's an antique with what appears to be all of its original charm. Our room was located directly above the kitchen, and while I thought that may be a bit of an issue with aromas, etc., it was quite the opposite. Since breakfast is the only meal served, what greeted us each afternoon was the smell of scones and cookies baking for the afternoon tea. What a delight! Claude, the chef, knows how to make a breakfast to sustain you, and she's friendly and fun to talk with. Food was delicious and beautifully presented, and all the staff we interacted with were super friendly. The breakfast room is bright and sunny - a cheerful way to start the day. Bed was super comfy, and the pillows - we had four king size pillows on the bed of varying softness. I love that we had choices! Room was spotless. The grounds are lovely with lots of outdoor seating in both the sun and shade, as well as a screened gazebo with a heater for chilly evenings. I highly recommend the Captain's House Inn if you are looking to stay in or near Chatham.

Unbelievably bad experience. I just stayed here 1/14/24 - 1/17/24. I’ve been to the Cape a lot - I have family there. I chose this inn because of the fabulous reviews. My first issue was trying to get someone to get back to me after making my reservation. The website states that they will make arrangements to use a gym nearby and to schedule a massage at a nearby spa. I called and emailed asking for a confirmation that these things would be taken care of. No response. I called again and once again - 3 times. No one answers and I wasn’t getting a response. I received a text a few days later stating that this is the best way to get in touch with them. Someone did call me and I asked about the gym and the woman said she didn’t know anything about that or the massage. She stated she would call a manger and ask. I ended up finding a gym on my own. They did arrange a massage at a local spa which was very nice. They didn’t get back to me about that until the day before I was checking in. I drove 6 hours to get to the inn, and when I got there, no one was there for me to check in with. When I made the reservation I notified them that I would be there for a late check in. There’s a sign with a bell stating to ring it if you see no staff. I rang the bell and waited 5 minutes. I rang it agin and waited another 5 minutes. I rang it several times in a row and still no one answers. It was VERY cold and super windy and the heat didn’t seem to be on. I called the number for the inn and it went directly to voicemail. I hung up, checked the number, and called back, still right to VM. I waited a bit and called back and this time I left a message. I called again and again and no one answered or called me. I was there for about 40 minutes thinking I was going to sleep on one of the couches in the sitting area, then I received a text stating that my room was upstairs, unlocked, and the key was inside. I went up to the room and it was frigid. I had my coat and scarf on because it was so cold. I had reserved a room with a fireplace and there was no way to turn it on. The thermostat on the wall wouldn’t work and the fireplace remote was missing. Again I called the number and after several calls, it was answered by a man who seemed very annoyed that I was calling him. He told me he’d come in about 5 minutes, which he did. He treated me like I was stupid and couldn’t even turn heat on, until he tried several times and couldn’t get it working either. He said “I guess I’ll get you a different room”. Really!!?? You “guess”?! I told him I paid extra for the room with a fireplace, so he did get me a different room that had a fireplace. No apology, no offer to make amends for the problems. I went to bed shortly after getting there because it was late in the evening by this time. The bed was very comfortable, the pillows and linens were nice. The nest morning I went to the dining room and there were 4 other people there waiting for breakfast. They had their winter coats on because it was so cold in the dining room!! I left and went to get breakfast somewhere else. When I was going to bed that night, I felt wind coming into the room and thought the window must be open. I pulled up the blinds and an entire pane of the window was missing! All of that and the only time I saw any staff there was when the man came to give me another room. And as I write, there was no apology, no offer for a discount because of the problems, not even a staff member around to voice my concerns to. I will never stay there again. When I was at the local spa, they told me the owners who were there for many years sold it. I believe that all the good reviews must be from when the previous owners were there. Spend your money where people actually appreciate your business - not here.

This was such a wonderful cozy spot to enjoy. Every detail is carefully considered and the breakfast is Amazing! The staff is great. Each space has its own personality. Thank you for a relaxing few days away.

Our 3rd Thanksgiving staying here visiting family in Chatham. We love it here. The rooms are great (we had 3 this year, 4 last). Very comfortable and very pleasant. Nice touches too. Thr staff is extremely good and friendly. We especially enjoy breakfasts here. Delicoous , many choices, attractivr seyting and great wait staff. We will be back!!

This is a really charming inn with a great location in Chatham - everything is easily accessible. The included breakfast was outstanding and served in a really cute dining room in the main house, and the staff so friendly! The grounds are well-maintained and include a relaxing, serene garden. The room was ample in size and had a very Old World feel (the colonial-style bed in our room required a stepstool to get into!) - however the TV was undersized for how far away it was from the bed and picture quality was poor. It was fairly expensive (though peak season, I admit) and so I would not view it as an option for the value-conscious.
