The Tern Inn seems to have something for everyone. There’s a swimming pool, bicycles, nearby beach, breakfast room with full breakfast included, lovely outdoor patio with plenty of seating, small private cottages, rooms in the Inn and rooms in a small carriage house. There was even a complementary wine happy hour. The rooms were really well stocked with toiletries, linens, snacks, etc and the whole property was beautifully landscaped and maintained.

Outstanding Inn

There’s an endless choice of places to stay on Cape Cod, but I doubt there’s one as perfect as The Tern Inn. The location is mid cape, so everywhere you want to visit is never far away. John & Lisa were perfect hosts, always smiling, they clearly enjoy hosting at their beautiful property. Our room (in the Main Inn) was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. There are some lovely thoughtful touches, all day tea & coffee (including take out cups) & naughty but nice treat bowls in the lounge and bedrooms. The pool area was renovated this year with comfy loungers, Adirondack chairs and cabana towels supplied. Breakfast was amazing, hot ramekin dishes prepared each day with fresh sliced fruit and a great selection of breads, muffins & bagels. We would highly recommend you stay here. We will definitely “reTern”. Thank you John & Lisa for a great stay. Michael & Julie

Lovely property, yummy breakfasts, bikes

The Tern Inn was perfect for our 3-day stay in West Harwich! Friendly and helpful hosts, delicious breakfasts, bikes for guest use (but no helmets, so bring your own). Our room in one of the cottages was very comfortable. We would definitely stay there again!
