This beautiful Inn is hosted by a very attentive staff. The breakfasts were supreme! Fresh baked cookies available 24/7 were so delicious! I highly recommend the Captain Farris House for a truly great and special stay.
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.
I would rate this B&B a 6 star if possible! The accommodations were wonderful and the staff was terrific! Our breakfasts were delicious and the cookies were yummy. Carol was a fantastic host and met all our needs. I would highly recommend the Captain Farris B&B!
We had a wonderful stay! The house is lovely and you can clearly tell that every detail has been carefully thought out. We loved the breakfast every morning, the delicious baked goods in the evening and the beautiful decorations throughout the house. Carol is an amazing host and she will make sure you have everything you need to have the best time - book this place - you won’t regret it!
The Captain Farris House was awesome. They genuinely care for their guests. They made sure we had everything we needed. Out of our 3 nights we stayed we only got to enjoy 1 breakfast. That breakfast was very good. The 2nd day we had to leave early and weren’t able to be there for the breakfast. On our last day we had to leave early and they made us a breakfast to go. I would definitely stay here again.
The owners are on site,and extremely cordial and helpful in every way ! The staff are helpful and happy,and wait till you breakfast,it's a real treat.
WE'D GO BACK ANYTIME!

I had never stayed at a bed and breakfast and Carol and Jeff made my first experience a truly wonderful and memorable experience. At the end of our stay, both hosts felt like family and will be missed. The service is excellent, the breakfast great and the building itself really charming. Would gladly stay again. So glad I was able to experience this!
Carol is an amazing innkeeper. She’s worth the stay in itself! However, the property is lovely, the food is delicious and the neighborhood is beautiful. It feels like being home. You just want to snuggle in to the home.
We stayed here 11 years ago and it still has the same charm! Carol and Jeff & team were great hosts, so welcoming and a delicious breakfast each morning.
Aunt Liddys room was really spacious amd comfortable with lots of character. We loved the private entrance, own staircase and deck. More great memories from Captain Farris House!
A cosy and relaxing place in the middle of nature and tranquility. Warm and friendly service, offered with old-fashioned simplicity, which makes everything even more authentic.

My husband and I had our 30th wedding anniversary here this weekend. We were so happy about the breakfast and service. The owners were wonderful. I would highly recommend this B& B.
Carol and Jeff were great host! You truly felt like you were staying with family & friends the whole trip. Breakfast was always a treat, the B&B is beautiful with fresh flowers all around and the home made cookies were so tasty! We would come back just to stay with them again!
