Perfect 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.

Excellent Experience!

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!

Wonderful, comfortable stay

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!

Best on Cape for personal attention to details

From the moment Carol met us on the front porch until we chatted one last time in the kitchen after a gourmet breakfast, we knew we were in great hands. Room was beautiful , oversized jacuzzi was the best, fresh baked cookies the surprise…. our second time, can’t wait for the next.
