Captain's House Inn

Just home from a few days at this amazing place. Our Lady Hope Room was everything we thought it would be, plus more - lovely sitting area with a gas fireplace. All their rooms are gorgeous and well appointed rooms throughout the whole Inn. Breakfast selections were awesome and the staff were all so gracious and welcoming. We will be back !

We needed some time to get away and it was my job to find something suitable that my wife would enjoy and not yell at me about. Ever see one of those nature programs where the male bird builds the nest then the female bird comes along to inspect it; if she doesn't like it, she tears it apart. I was worried. When we arrived, we were greeted by Rachel. She seemed to be embedded on the premises because we saw her for many days and at different times of the day. We wondered if this was her home. It wasn't, but she made us feel at home. Every morning, we showed up to enjoy a breakfast of whatever was on the menu. There wasn't a meal we didn't like. If we showed up in the dining room in the afternoon, just to relax, or read, or write, or whatever, Rachel offered tea and scones. A really nice touch. (By the way, light classical music in the background was fitting.) Very peaceful and relaxing. Just what we needed. The room was adequate for our purposes, but the great feature was the fireplace. Late March isn't the warmest time of the year, so when we came back after an outing on the cold windy beaches, throwing the switch on the fireplace to take out the chill was perfect. We said our goodbyes to Rachel before our last day because she was actually going to take some time off. We did threaten to come back again and bring more people with us to help enjoy another stay.

We have been staying here for Thanksgiving for several years visiting family and we love it. Everyone we met on the staff was very helpful and friendly. I left my blazer there and they returned it beautifully packaged. It's a very pretty place. And good location. Its within a longish walking distance to town and the beach and very near the fish pier.

My wife and I plan on returning as soon as we can. It was just that lovely! We had the smallest room available, the Garden Room, but it was private, very comfortable, and had an excellent bed. The attached bathroom was pretty big too, with a large walk-in shower. Also, the ceiling in this room was fine for average height guests, but if you're especially tall, you may want to try another room. This room also had its own entrance and a back door leading to a quiet little courtyard/side yard. The property's location is within walking distance of Chatham village. Walking maybe 15 minutes more can get you to the fish pier and the lighthouse up by the Coast Guard station.

We stayed at the Inn in October and upon walking in our room ( Northen light ) I could see it wasn’t clean. There was a stain on the bed spread which in my opinion should be washed after every guest, it remained there tillwe checked out.  The “frill” around the bottom of the bed was so dusty you could see the colour difference and under the bed was filthy! I didn’t walk around bare foot once! I collected a pile of hair from the bathroom floor, didn’t even look in the corners ! And I left it on the side hoping the cleaner would be horrified and do an extra good clean- it was left there til I complained about the cleanliness ! A new towel was hung up with a huge long black hair hanging off it! I dropped a cookie which as you would expect made a mess , we cleaned up as best as we could without a hoover and that mess stayed there all 3 days! Even after mentioning it AND showing the inn keeper a photo.  We had something that bleeped all night long , alongside the noisiest fridge in the world which didn’t make for a restful night! Overall the inn was tired, in dire need of a makeover, dirty and hugely disappointing , particularly given this was a stay as part of our  wedding anniversary . See attached photos
