There are a lot of steps at this property. Our room was up a fairly steep, skinny staircase which made it challenging to get our large suitcases to our room. It is an old building with lots of character. Room was large but bathroom was small and not really able to accommodate two people at a time. Limited breakfast but overnight oats and yogurt parfait was good. Had a great patio with a fire pit. Overall nice but would not stay again.

Wonderful, atmospheric, historic inn, NEXT DOOR to Edward Gordy House. 👻 Amazingly well-stocked bar with great Belgian beers and inventive fancy cocktails.

Lovely property. Not completely worth the high price tag (high humidity in the room, noisy above the kitchen, staff were ok, not super pleasant), but I guess that's the price you pay for a few summer nights in Cape Cod. Our room was very clean and the bed comfortable. Location wasn't far from most places we wanted to visit.

The Chapter House is an absolutely beautiful property. My husband and I went to The Cape for our anniversary and couldn't be happier with our stay here. It was clean and had a very calm and relaxing feel to it. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. I cant imagine staying anywhere else at The Cape after staying at The Chapter House. Absolute 5 star experience!

I was really pleasantly impressed by my staying at the Chapter house. I was there just for 2 nights with my family and I did not regret our choice since the property is really nice, especially the space outside for enjoying a drink or making breakfast. Not knowing Cape cod we were not quite sure where to stay in the area but after visiting I would say the position is just perfect for exploring “the Cape”. Multiple choice for restaurants nearby and we discovered also a few nice markets were you can easily grab some food for your day. Continental breakfast was good with high quality pastries and good coffee.. if they offered also eggs and bacon it would have been perfect.

The room was very small and bathroom.Usually when you pay this much for a stay it is top notch.In this case it was not.Coffee in the morning at the main house was in a Keurig instead of higher standard coffee.Positive note was the room was made very early.The grounds were very nice and had a comfortable patio.

Visiting from the UK we found this hotel a perfect location for us. Hotel was perfectly clean and beautifully renovated for such an old building, it had everything we needed. Local village walkable, with a couple of shops and places to eat all with 5-10 minutes. Nearest large town was Hyannis, but central to anywhere else on the Cape.

The rooms were terrible. Very very small. Uncomfortable beds, small bathroom. Ac was very loud and old and most of the time doesn’t work properly. It’s either too hot or
Too old. Included breakfast was very bad. Terrible coffee, and drinks were stupid expensive at the bar. I ordered a single malt scotch that cost $48 for the whole bottle. I got charged $30 for a shot. Ridiculous. I was in switzerland over the summer at the most expensive hotel in the world and I ordered a 18 year old single malt scotch and I got charged $22 dollars. They also charged my wife $20 for a martini with well vodka, and charged me $14 for a grey goose martini. Inconsistent prices and doesn’t make sense. That’s what you get with family owned businesses with local staff. Do not stay here.

Not a warm and welcoming B&B. No owner on site, just employees. Breakfast was very limited. Muffins and yogurt. No fruit, no eggs, no nothing. All self service. I would not recommend this place.
