We loved staying here. Everything is pristine and clean. The breakfast was delicious - the blueberry pancakes likely the best I’ve had in my life. Very walkable to everything on Main Street. Easy to drive to other beaches further up north. The staff are professional and attentive - what a pleasure.
The innkeepers,Judy and Ray, make you feel welcome and at home. The breakfast was terrific. They have food and snacks and drinks available without additional charge all day and night. This is a wonderful and run by terrific people.
Judy and Ray were so warm and welcoming. The property was pristine, quiet, and very conveniently located to town. I would highly recommend this stay from someone who wants a touch of luxury with a home like feel.
Everything was easy to get too. The Owners and Staff made you feel like you were the only guests. The Breakfast and fresh baked snacks everyday were tremendous!
We had a wonderful visit to Chatham and enjoyed this B&B very much. The service was outstanding....great team. The Inn was comfortable and well located. Our room was a bit disappointing, however. Had a view of the parking lot and the ceiling in the room was an office-like drop ceiling that was 8 feet. so it felt a bit cramped. Would recommend but focus on staying in another room at the property.
The owner is on site and the bakery goods they provide are amazing. Breakfast was very good as well. Staff is very accommodating. I would recommend this place and I have never stayed at a Bed and breakfast. The only downfall for me was I was getting ready for a wedding and my hair is curly. Air condition was off as not needed in October. But hot shower made room very humid thus my hair became frizzy.

My husband and I have seen the Inn when walking by for years and have been interested in staying there. We finally made reservations a few months ago for a 4 day stay this past weekend. Our first mistake was not to request a room or query into what room we were assigned. The room we were given was horrible, and it was too late to make any changes or cancel. The room was small, cramped, and is dubbed "the pink room for a girls weekend away". NOT appropriate for a husband and wife couple. The shower curtain/rod kept falling down, and the cold water was on the left and the hot water on the right (and no written indication of the water temp and location) in the shower. The room has odd angles and was clearly an add-on that "Jack" seemed to have built. The cream colored wall paint does not fully cover the dark areas ("eyes") in the wood panelling. The Inn keepers are pleasant and kind. The breakfast is nothing to write home about. It isn't particularly tasty, a large quantity, or memorable. The pre made coffee upset my stomach, so we used the expreso machine they have, which worked fine. It was a 'fine' stay, but way overpriced. Not worth the $700/night.
We like to rate Bed and Breakfasts with high marks because we know a lot of work goes into being Innkeepers. We also want to be honest. Much of the literature written by the Innkeepers is different from our experience. Hopefully you can read between the lines.
Judy and Ray were amazing hosts! They were SO attentive and their goal was obviously to make you feel welcome and spoiled. Their breakfasts were great...they had many gluten free options, all tasty, and some even homeade!! Not something you generally see. We will definitely be returning!
