Travel Reviews of the Captain Farris House Bed and Breakfast
Frommer's Review
"Sumptuous" is the only way to describe this 1845 inn, improbably set amid a peaceful garden, a block off bustling Route 28. A skilled interior decorator has combined fine antiques and striking contemporary touches to lift this inn's interiors way above the average homey B&B decor. Some suites are apartment-size, containing sitting rooms equipped with a fireplace, and whirlpool-tub bathrooms bigger than the average bedroom. Next door, the 1825 Elisha Jenkins House contains an additional large suite with its own sun deck. Welcoming touches in rooms include chocolates, fresh flowers, and plush robes. Breakfast consists of three courses served in the formal dining room or the sunny courtyard. The central location puts the entire Cape, from Woods Hole to Provincetown, within a 45-minute drive, assuming you can tear yourself from this pampering environment.
Rated among the best inns in New England, the Captain Farris House B&B in South Yarmouth’s Bass River Village, offers rooms with private baths, Jacuzzis, phones, and cable TV amid the restored elegance of the mid-19th century. A complimentary three-course breakfast is served either in the formal dining room or interior courtyard. In the evenings, sip a glass of sherry before retiring to the elegantly-furnished rooms, some of which have working fireplaces. The inn, which is listed on National Register of Historic Places, is close to beaches and restaurants. Rates vary with season.

The SceneListed on the National Register of Historic Places, this bed and breakfast exudes the provincial charm of Cape Cod. Relax on the Adirondack chairs that grace the large veranda, enjoy the nearby beach, or walk, jog or bike on the Cape Cod Rail Trail. Guests can also hop on a ferry to Nantucket or the Vineyard. Children under 12 are not allowed, making the inn ideal for romantic getaways.The DetailsGuest rooms are individually decorated. Some feature private access to the wrap-around veranda, while others include Jacuzzis and iron canopy beds draped with damask duvet covers. Suites boast private sun decks, antique beds, fireplaces and brick patios. A gourmet, three-course breakfast is served in a glass-encased courtyard that makes it feel as if you are dining in a greenhouse. A Waterford chandelier glistens above the dining room, and complimentary cocktails are served in the parlor in the evening.

Tucked off busy Route 28 in a lovely historic district, this bed-and-breakfast beauty has 150-year-old bones that meet the expectations of a modern 21st-century guest. Antiques and sophisticated window treatments combine with damask duvets, plush white towels, and Jacuzzi tubs to create a relaxing retreat. Many rooms have private decks and fireplaces. Understated elegance infuses the interior and is balanced by quiet garden sitting areas. Because the inn is geared toward romance, breakfast is served at individual tables, and most rooms have private entrances. Open early Feb. to mid-Dec. Rates: vary with season, including full breakfast.
