This was our first visit to the inn and we were quite pleased. The inn's website doesn't do it justice! We rented a suite as there were three of us and needed the space. Our suite had lovely ammenities and was very clean. We were there in the spring so it was not crowded and felt like had the place... More

Everything in this Inn was just right. Our room was spacious and nicely decorated and clean! Breakfast was scrumptious, coffee always ready. Nothing to complain about whatsoever. I would highly recommend the Ship's Knees Inn to my friends.

The Ship's Knees Inn was perfect for our weekend on the Cape. Close to the beach, bike paths and several good restaurants. Particularly enjoyed coffee and scones on the patio in the morning and a glass of wine in an Adirondack chair in front of our suite.

This lovely bed and breakfast lived up to its reviews and more. Our room was somewhat small but perfectly clean with attractive decor, a super comfy firm pillow top king bed and a great large shower. The breakfast buffet included fresh baked goods, fruit cup, yogurt, good coffee, and lots of toast able breads and bagels. We enjoyed access to... More

This was my go-to B&B until I had kids. I love this B&B because of it's location close to Nauset Beach. I love the decor in the rooms, it has a homely feel to it. When I stayed in the room with the shared bath, I hit my head a few times on the ceiling and I'm not that tall.... More

Last year we spent New Year's Eve at the Ship's Knees Inn and a couple of days on the winter beach. This year we arrived with the daffodils for three nights at the inn. The old sea captain's home provides a unique experience. The inn is clean, interestingly decorated and provides a diverse breakfast for the traveler who comes to... More

I have been to Ship's Knees Inn three times. The place immaculate and the service impeccable. The breakfast is ample and creatively displayed, with enough variety to please everyone. The location is perfect - near to the beach and within a short distance from Chatham to the south and Wellfleet and Eastham to the north, which makes day-tripping easy!

My wife and I have noticed Ship's Knees Inn for decades as we drive past the Inn on the way to Nauset Beach. We share a family cottage further up Cape. We wanted to have a weekend getaway on the Columbus Day weekend but try something different. We're glad we did. Very clean and cozy. Very quiet, at least that... More

I went to the Ship's Knees Inn with my mother in June and we had such a delightful stay that I visited again with my husband a few months later. We enjoyed a week-long stay which was just wonderful. The breakfast was fresh and delicious every morning. The rooms were charming and extremely comfortable with all of the amenities needed.... More

Fabulous location, comfortable accommodation, lovely innkeepers, Clean! We enjoyed a long weekend here and came home feeling like a million bucks! We love the fire pit and the continental breakfast included 'dirt bombs'! .
