We had the perfect weekend here. Quiet, convenient location. We mentioned it was our anniversary and when we came back from dinner we had chocolate covered strawberries and a red rose waiting for us. So nice!

We stayed at the Captain Farris Inn for a long weekend at the end of October. It was perfect from the great breakfasts to the peaceful historic surroundings. Nancy and her staff offered great hospitality but giving us plenty of privacy. This was our second stay here and we are looking forward to returning for a third.

My wife and I stayed at the Captain Farris House last fall, and we fell in love all over again! The inn was romantic, beautiful, and timeless. The service was fantastic (thanks Nancy & Michael!), and the breakfast - terrific! If you're looking for a romantic getaway for you and the person you love - look no further than CFH. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

5-Star Romantic Weekend!

Captain Farris House B&B

Nicole Caramanica

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!).

We visit this inn each year and our visit is always the perfect romantic and elegant getaway. Nancy makes us feel like we are her only guests even when they are booked up. The beautifully decorated rooms, gardens and all the little extras make for a wonderful experience.

My husband and I stayed at the Captain Farris Bed & Breakfast in October. We stayed in the Captain Farris Suite on top floor. The suite was quiet and romantic with high ceilings and beautiful drapes, a fireplace, large living room and separate romantic bedroom and a really large bathroom. We were celebrating our anniversary so Nancy had a red rose with chocolate covered strawberries in our room when we arrived, complimentary! The entire weekend was magical. The entire house is beautiful and also very clean which is important to us. We can’t wait to return next year.

My boyfriend surprised me with a trip to Cape Cod for my 21st birthday. We had a great time. Nancy was a great host and cook and even left me a birthday card on our bed. I would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I had such an amazing retreat at the Captain Farris house last weekend. It was everything and more than we expected. Our room, Bray's retreat was elegantly decorated. The two person jacuzzi was a great treat. Nancy and Micheal were fantastic hosts. They gave us an excellent idea to have dinner at this great Irish Pub. There was live music and so authentic! We will definitly be back!

We had a great weekend at this beautiful romantic Bed & Breakfast. The breakfast was amazing-3 courses and the best coffee I have ever had! Our room was immaculate with a large private bath with a double jacuzzi. The owners, Michael & Nancy and their staff could not do enough for us. We are looking forward to returning this summer when the gardens are in bloom. We highly recommend this inn.
