We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Candleberry Inn, and we can confidently say it was one of the most delightful experiences of our lives. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by gracious host, Marco, whose warmth and hospitality set the tone for our entire stay. The staff's attentiveness was remarkable, ensuring that every need was met with genuine care and a smile. The ambiance of the inn is simply enchanting.The perfect landscaping surrounding the inn is a testament to the owners' attention to detail, with lush gardens and meticulously designed pathways that create a picturesque and inviting atmosphere. Beautiful sounds of nature surround the property, creating a serene backdrop that perfectly complements the impeccable taste showcased in every detail of the decor. Personal touches, such as hand-written notes and thoughtfully curated local artwork, made our stay feel uniquely special. Every detail, was thoughtfully considered, creating an experience that felt both personalized and magical. Our room was a stunning blend of elegance and comfort, complete with upscale toiletries in the bathroom, luxurious bed linens, and plush towels that added an extra touch of indulgence to our experience. Upon returning to our room in the evening, we were greeted by the delightful scent of fresh linens and subtle hints of essential oils, creating a calming, aromatherapy moment that made us feel immediately relaxed. This property is a true sanctuary for relaxation. It felt like we had stepped into a dreamlike storybook, where every corner held a new charm. One of the many highlights of our stay was the delicious homemade breakfast made by Angelo, which featured not only an array of artisanal bakery treats but also savory options that were simply mouthwatering. The staff even remembered our coffee preferences, ensuring that each cup was just to our liking. Each meal was served with adorable serving dishes that made the presentation feel like a work of art, enhancing the overall dining experience. From the hand-peeled roasted tomatoes, which added a burst of flavor that perfectly complemented the meal, to the delightful lime zest sugar topping, that provided the perfect balance of sweetness and citrusy brightness. Breakfast was visually stunning and incredibly flavorful, showcasing the care that went into every dish. The Candleberry Inn is a Diamond that exceeds expectations in every way. The combination of gracious hosts, caring staff, impeccable attention to detail, and a beautiful setting makes it a must-visit destination. You will want for nothing when you stay here and will leave feeling truly pampered. We can't wait to return for another enchanting getaway! Thank you Marco, Angelo and Staff. Brava & much love. read more

It would be a travesty to not rate this charming inn anything but 5-stars. And here is why. First of all the inn is beautiful, well appointed, and the building and grounds are well manicured and taken care. Second, the innkeepers themselves are very friendly and accommodating. Marco, Angelo and Steffi are delights to be around and talk to. They are more than willing to share their insights into activities on the Cape and places to visit. They are fonts of knowledge. As well as fun to talk to. Third the breakfasts are exceptional. Angelo is the master chef behind a varied and healthy breakfast. It was a treat each morning we stayed. A fruit course followed by the main breakfast. Fourth, speaking of treats. Each afternoon a small box labeled with our names with a bake good of some sort was waiting for us in the inn. They were delicious and much looked forward to. Fifth, the sleeping room was spacious with a very comfortable bed and a small but adequate bathroom. We had access to an outdoor veranda/porch sitting area, which we took advantage of each day. This small inn is a real treasure in Brewster. I highly recommend it. read more

Kathleen Lasher 5/5 3 days ago on Google The Candleberry Inn was a wonderful place for a three day get away! Charming old Inn was beautiful and tastefully done, everything was first class! All the rooms are beautiful, the landscaping and patio were so inviting. The innkeepers, Charlene and Eric and their staff, Brooke were so sweet and very welcoming! They have thought of everything! The welcome cookies available and saved for you every afternoon, the chocolates in your room, the magnificent breakfast offerings were so creative and delicious! The best breakfast around! The place was immaculate! Well done Charlene, Eric and Brooke! Hope to be back again! read more

It was so amazing to return to Candleberry and be blown away a second time. Marco and Angelo are both amazing innkeepers and gentleman. The property is absolutely immaculate and everything is so well kept. Our room was made daily. Each day the breakfast were as high end and as a 5 star luxury resort. We can't leave out saying thank you to Stephanie. She is an absolute angel and a ball of happy energy. We already booked next year to return and are counting the days. There is nothing left to desire or ask for when you stay here. It is a true visit with historic luxury. read more

We originally chose this venue based on its location and charm. The Innkeepers, Marco and Angelo, have created the most beautiful bed and breakfast experience. Their warmth and hospitality combined with beautifully decorated rooms, main house, and delicious menus far exceeded our expectations. The main house is filled with beautiful art and decor that perfectly matches the ambiance of the area and is complete with personalized touches that make the guests feel right at home. read more

A beautiful charming inn which felt like a welcoming home away from home. The people are warm and I can't say enough about the breakfast! Hubby and I had a great stay read more

Do you like having some of the friendliest Innkeepers, delicious breakfast (complementary with your reservation), proximity to the beach (12 minute walk), beach towels and beach chairs, free pastries provided during the afternoon, showering yourself in Malin+Goetz bath products, all while staying in a historical yet updated inn? If the answer is YES then I would highly recommend choosing the Candleberry Inn. Marco and Angelo were very accommodating to say the least. We started our mornings with a wonderful complementary multi-course breakfast that often exceeded our expectations (and more often than not, better than food that we've had on the rest of the Cape). In the afternoons we enjoyed free pastries also made by Angelo. The best part about this trip was that this high level of service was still made possible during COVID-19. Candleberry Inn has done the necessary precautions to make sure that we felt safe during COVID-19, such as: requiring masks outside of the room, allowing dining to be socially distant from other guests, and providing individually wrapped bags of ice and water bottles. We would definitely return again. read more

This B & B is one of the best that I have found. The owners work hard to enable their guests to relax in comfort. The rooms are beautifully decorated, immaculate and very comfortable. The surrounding lawns and gardens are lush, full of blooming plants and inviting. You are near several interesting sites within walking distance: including the Brewster General Store, and the Brewster Bookstore (well-worth a visit). The owners give very good dining advice. If you rise early, you can drive to a beach, return and enjoy an outstanding breakfast adjusted ( within reason) to your dietary preferences. A visit to the Candleberry Inn fells like a little vacation in Paradise. read more

It was so comforting knowing that our rooms were just in perfect shape every day. Just to wake up to a quiet and homey atmosphere was a dream! The breakfasts were gourmet and themed each morning served with professional servers. The living room and convenience of a refrigerator, Nespresso coffee, tea, ice water, & lots of books and games, gives you a sense of home. There is always room for all sorts of Ice Cream and Ices on back porch refrigerator... anytime you want! Then, mid-afternoon there is a box or bag of cookies, cakes or goodies. Get ready to go to the beaches on Cape Cod! The Inn has chairs, umbrellas and an outdoor shower when you return from the beach at the Inn. This is the 3rd time and I will return for another vacation. Boy, it was better than the year before! We love you Angelo and Marco! Thank you for your continued hospitality! read more

Stayed August 30th thru September 5th, 2020. We knew we were in for an amazing stay, despite Covid-19, from the moment we received an email to download the app that gave us all the info we needed... Procedures put in place to assure everyone's safety, info about the area, and almost everything you could possibly want to know was in the app. We arrived just about check-in time and Marco, one of the owners, greeted us warmly, gave us the tour of the property & the amenities, and handed us our keys... super easy - super smooth check-in. The property is beautiful and impeccably maintained... plenty of places to just sit and relax (while practicing social-distancing, of course), crack open the delicious bottle of wine we were provided by our hosts, or eat our always delicious daily afternoon "sweet treats". Daily breakfast was amazing... a different fresh fruit course every morning followed by a main course alternating between sweet and savory (poached eggs, pancakes, breakfast burrito, french toast, etc). The daily breakfast offerings were so well planned out, we didn't deviate off the menu once except one of us wanted scrambled eggs instead of poached... a request met with a "SURE!... whatever you want" response from Marco who also oversees breakfast service while his partner Angelo is in the kitchen churning out recipes handed down from his mom. We always left the table full and satisfied. Accommodations are amazingly clean and equally comfortable. The king-sized bed put us to sleep in short order, the towels are thick and soft, and the spa robes were a welcome surprise. Because of the pandemic, towel change service is by "request" only (basically you throw the towels you'd like changed into a large laundry bag and leave it inside the room next to the door). The inn is, in my opinion, one of the best areas on the Cape... centrally located to Cape Cod's best things to see & do. Terrific restaurants, a liquor store/deli, general store, ice-cream shop are all within walking distance. TIP: Stick with Angelo & Marco's local restaurant recommendations... we deviated once, and big surprise... we were not happy. Truro is an easy 30 minute drive, Provincetown 40 minutes, and Hyannis to catch the ferries to Martha's Vineyard & Nantucket about 20. A 2 minute car ride or 15 minute walk gets you to Breakwater Beach on Cape Cod Bay. Marco and Angelo provided beach chairs & beach towels so that was thankfully, a couple more things we didn't have to pack. We didn't bring or rent bicycles, but the Cape Cod Rail Trail and a bike rental shop are right in their neck of the woods too. We'll definitely be back to the Candleberry Inn. All the five-star reviews are well-earned. You won't be disappointed. read more

Candleberry Inn on Cape Cod - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Brewster, Massachusetts

Having cancelled our tour of the northern lakes of Italy due to Covid19, my wife suggested a Cape Cod vacation combined with a road trip up to the Cape. Armed with that request, I began searching for an Inn that offered an upscale, yet informal, comfortable atmosphere in and around the Brewster, Mass area. Frankly, it did not take long to begin focusing on The Candleberry Inn, 1882 Main St, Brewster, Mass. After digesting the many photos of the Inn's offerings, I knew we would be in for a treat if we booked within the Carriage House adjacent to the main building. We did, in fact, get that booking much to my liking! This particular room (No. 1) is situated directly at the front of the Carriage House, grade level with no steps or stairs needed to enter. There are other rooms within the Carriage House and main building as well. Following a lovely drive from our home in northern NJ, we easily found the Inn (with the aid of GPS) and, within several hours, turned into their manicured hedge-lined drive and parked within the generous parking area only several yards from the Guest Entrance. Our initial impressions included admiring the lush gardens and blooms that surrounded the main building and grounds. We arrived somewhat later than planned and were greeted, however, by one of the Owners, Marco who warmly welcomed us to the Inn providing an introduction. At this time, we sensed that we were in for a treat for selecting The Candleberry Inn for our stay at the Cape! After settling in, we explored our room and were delighted to find the private patio beyond the double French doors off of the bedroom. The private bath was found to be extremely generous in size and very well equipped with many spare, thick thirsty towels of all sizes including a good selection of bath and shower care products. We believe the bed in our room was a California King size and the room was sized accordingly. At breakfast time, we then experienced the culinary skills of Marco's partner and co-owner, Angelo, who prepared sumptuous 3 course dishes normally found in a very upscale restaurant. Comfortable tables and chairs were set out on the outdoor patio for breakfast. Again, the table settings reflected that of a grand estate from yesteryear, a real treat! Juices of several varieties were offered as well as an endless pot of coffee. It must be pointed out that a different hot breakfast fare was presented to us every morning, all quite delicious! Our hosts did not hesitate to take the time to chat with us each morning, a nice touch indeed. Every evening, Angelo prepares a surprise bakery treat, packaged within a neat "gift" bag with the guests names shown on the bag. We simply picked up our bag and enjoyed Angelo's creation each evening with a beverage. We brought some home as we had accumulated one or two bags during the week. Although many brochures were available for touring, Marco provided us with several interesting suggestions for getting out and about with the car. We found a special beach nearby, several restaurants just down the road and, one or two very high-end places in close-by towns. Each of those car rides brought us through the classic New England countryside passing General Stores and specialty shops, cruising the back roads of Brewster which were curved and winding as we explored the area from one end of the Cape to the other with beautiful sunny weather following us each day. Returning to the Inn each evening, we found the Carriage House to be peaceful and serene. We enjoyed the lush greenery just beyond the private patio and watched as playful chipmunks scurried in and about the dense vegetation beyond. Many hummingbird feeding stations were seen in and around the Inn as the height of colorful flowering stems attracted their amazing ability to stay aloft in one spot. We enjoyed each and every day and evening while being guests at The Candleberry Inn. Our hosts, Marco and Angelo, including their wonderful breakfast staff, created a seamless atmosphere which made us feel welcomed and comfortable during our entire stay. The Candleberry Inn is certainly recommended as a Go-To destination should your travels bring you to Brewster Mass or to the surrounding area! read more

Outstanding Inn! Marco and Angelo have perfected the bed-and-breakfast experience. We felt like royalty at Candleberry for our 25th anniversary. The room was gorgeous and peaceful. The grounds were beautifully landscaped. You will not get a better breakfast than at Candleberry. I am gluten-free, and they accommodated me in the most delicious way! Even the afternoon treats were labeled "gluten free" to put me at ease. Thank you Marco, Angelo, and Stephanie! This was an anniversary to remember. We will return! read more

The Innkeepers truly have put thought into every tiny detail and comfortable amenity to make your stay here feel like home from the chilled filtered water placed in your room's refrigerator every day to the home-baked treats every afternoon. The two-course breakfast each morning was nothing short of perfection. (Well done, Angelo, you successfully sold my husband on poached eggs, and that was not an easy task.) The inn's grounds are lush and green, and we enjoyed a couple of afternoons enjoying wine (from the Truro winery) by the outdoor fire. Marco, you were so friendly and welcoming, taking care to show us every amenity, advise us on sites around the Cape, and greeting us every morning for breakfast. You are a delight. You and Angelo have undoubtedly created an inn that allowed my husband and I to just be together with no kids and no worries. You really have thought of everything. Thank you (and your friendly staff!) for your gracious hospitality and for far exceeding our expectations. read more

My boyfriend and I did a weekend getaway to the Cape and stayed at this lovely B&B and we had the BEST time! The inn itself is so cute, well-kept, and very homey. The grounds are gorgeous and our stay in the Highlands room was exactly what we wanted. Everything was very clean, sanitized and expectations were clearly stated. The inn is also in a great location in Brewster and walking distance to the library and general store. We love the beaches in Brewster and all of our favorites were a short drive away. The innkeepers, Marco and Angelo, are very kind, caring, and professional hosts. They still made us feel welcome and were very personable even with all the extensive measures they have to take to take care of the safety of themselves and their guests. They also sent us a new app prior to our stay to help us read about different measures and accommodations we'd expect--this was a very comprehensible and succinct way to receive information ahead of time. Something that Marco and Angelo did that was above and beyond was send us a text around 10:30pm when they noticed a light in our car was left on. They saved us from a dead car battery in the morning which we thought was very considerate of them! The homemade breakfasts and afternoon sweets are delicious! Breakfast was on the garden patio and it's such a magical place to have breakfast in the morning. Even though the inn is on a main road on the Cape (route 6A) the garden patio provided enough coverage because of the luscious plants and flowers. (Would totally recommend drinking the Brewster Sunrise!) The afternoon snacks were delicious and we were excited everyday to see what yummy treats we'd get in the afternoon (they changed everyday). They also packaged these in their own individual containers and wrote any allergy information on these packages which I appreciated as I have a nut allergy. Although we didn't take advantage of this, there were beach chairs and towels we could use. Everything was clearly labeled what things were sanitized and where to put used items. This is all being said while in the midst of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, but we STILL had an amazing time because of the thoughtfulness of Marco and Angelo. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this and will definitely be back in the future. read more

If we could, we would give the Candleberry Inn a rating greater than five stars. Marco and Angelo are the most accommodating hosts any guests could ever hope for. The room and amenities were superb. Marco assured us that if there was anything we needed that was not already provided he would see that it was. But there was nothing lacking. Everything was perfect. It is no surprise to us that every review is a five star review. Lynne and Rick read more

What can I say about the Candleberry Inn? WOW! FANTASTIC! WONDERFUL! Everything is perfect from the grounds, the room, the breakfast and our innkeepers Marco and Angelo. We stayed in the see breeze room in the carriage house. There is an outside deck on the back of this building that we were able to enjoy for several evenings while we were there. Our room was very comfortable and included a small refrigerator. Each room has its own bathroom, no shared bathrooms. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. There is a lovely patio in the back where you can have coffee and sit and watch the birds. There are several restaurants that are within walking distance along with a late night bar. It's also centrally located for leisurely drives to different towns on the Cape. If you want the beach, you can either walk or drive to it. I'm not going to tell you what was served for breakfast except you won't go away hungry. I'm also pretty sure that Angelo or Marco can get you anything you need. If you are looking for a home away from home, this is it. I always end my reviews with the question, "would I come back here?" Not only would I come back here- I don't want to leave. read more

Our babymoon here could not have been more perfect! My husband and I stayed for 5 nights in the Carriage House and had the absolute best time here. Not only was the room exceptionally clean and comfortable, with meticulous attention to detail in the daily housekeeping, but the food was outrageously good. With a gluten intolerance, my husband is always a bit underwhelmed and disappointed by the limited options he has, but Marco and Angelo were exceptionally accommodating and made him alternative treats and breakfast dishes that were above and beyond all expectations, even better than some dedicated gluten-free bakeries we've tried! The service, the food, the rooms, the ambiance... not a single detail was overlooked by these owners. It was so incredible that we already booked our next trip here and plan to make this an annual vacation. We can't possibly recommend this place highly enough!! Marco & Angelo, thank you, THANK YOU for giving us the absolute best experience we could have ever dreamed of. See you next year! read more

Once convinced that babymoons are a real thing. The wife and I set out to find the perfect weeklong getaway location on the Cape. I wanted a historic feel and she wanted easy access to the local beaches and dinning. Next was to find a location that during a pandemic would be able to accommodate all of our wants and dreams. The Candleberry Inn in Brewster ended up being the perfect location for us. The Inn is perfectly set back from the main road in town. It is a short walk to the local creamery, general store, or restaurants. We spent days at the local beach. Make sure to buy your local beach parking pass before heading to the one of the Brewster beaches. The Inn keepers Marco and Angelo provided us with all the necessary information to have a successful trip. We arrived a little after 3 PM on the day of check-in. We were met at the door by Marco. Who graciously explained the abbreviated check-in policy. He showed us around the home and then to our room for the week. Upon entering we were surprised to find a beautiful note and present for our soon to arrive baby girl. That note and the stuffed owl set the perfect tone for our week at the Candleberry Inn. The house is beautiful and well-appointed throughout. The room we stayed in was located on the first floor. The wife loved not having to climb stairs with only 5 weeks to go. The room was clean. Shower was hot! The bedding was very comfortable. The in-room AC unit did an amazing job keeping the room comfy during the warm summer nights. The Inn provides chairs and towels for guests to use at the local beaches. If you are bringing a bike there are bike racks for use in the back of the property. The property has beautiful flower beds and a well-manicured lawn with adirondack chairs. Perfect for afternoon tea or the adult beverage of your choice. We spent an afternoon playing cards relaxing in the sun. One of the best moments of our trip. It was so relaxing and refreshing. Every afternoon you will find a perfectly boxed treat for you to snack. When we were there they had the different baked goods on the table for 3 PM. A delicious little snack between lunch and dinner. I'm telling you. You will not want to leave once you arrive! The reason you'll come back. Breakfast. The food prepared by Angelo is fantastic. The rooms are comfy sure. But the food is perfect. From the aforementioned mid day snacks to the breakfast. Every day for 5 days we were greeted with a new and tasty creation by Angelo. It is worth mentioning that the wife and I are both "breakfast people". We are both not looking forward to having to say goodbye today to our great hosts. I'm really not looking forward to going back to making my own breakfast every AM. I wonder what it would cost to hire a cook... I digress. It's worth also mentioning that our trip was in the midst of the 2020 pandemic. Which presented extra concerns for my wife and I. Marco and Angelo were amazingly helpful throughout our stay. When we booked they assuaged all fears related to our stay with them. Our trip ended up being everything we had hoped for. A huge thank you to Marco and Angelo for providing my wife and I a memorable babymoon! read more

My Dad and I came up to the Cape for a long weekend. Marco and Angelo were the most welcoming, hospitable innkeepers. They had suggestions on where to eat dinner whenever we asked, they welcomed us with open arms and we felt at home immediately. Breakfast was my favorite part of my stay at Candleberry. Angelo made the most gourmet breakfast I have ever had. Five stars! The first thing I tasted was my fruit course on the first morning: grapefruit, sprinkled with fresh grated ginger and topped with a little brown sugar and broiled. Absolutely scrumptious. They were so accommodating. I called to book a month in advance and Marco asked if there were any food allergies for either my Dad or me; I am lactose intolerant but mostly just make do with taking a Lactaid pill but since I mentioned it, Marco and Angelo stocked their kitchen with Almond milk for my coffee and for food they made for breakfast. There are always little baked goods, usually still warm and steaming, on the complimentary tea/coffee cradenza in the living room. I loved the cookies -a peanut/chocolate chip treat. And the cinnamon coffee cake. The room was very comfortable. I am a picky sleeper (I did end up bringing my own pillow out of habit) but I slept extremely well (it's that Cape Cod air, perhaps!) My Dad noted that his bed was very "springy". We stayed in a Carriage House room with two double beds, equipped with a refrigerator, which was handy for leftovers from our various restaurants we went to. I would come back and stay here again in a heartbeat. I rave about this place to anyone who will listen. My Dad and I still look back at our time here with great fondness, including the very enjoyable conversations we had with Marco and Angelo. What wonderful people/innkeepers. I really look forward to coming back here. read more

Even a FIVE STAR rating doesn't adequately describe this excellent bed and breakfast! The Innkeepers at Candleberry have an eye for detail and create a warm and comfortable environment. From the beautifully landscaped grounds, outdoor sitting areas, and gardens to the comfortable and clean guest rooms; you will be impressed. Let's talk breakfast. For the early risers, a well stocked / coffee and tea bar is always available just off the main parlor. The dining area is arranged for casual conversation with the other guests or quiet privacy, your choice. In mild weather you can choose to dine on the patio as well. There are several choices that remain a constant on the menu, but I always go with the special of the day. You can tell just by the way each course is plated, that it will be great. Fresh fruit skewers to start, family recipe omelette, and home baked (still warm!) muffin will get your day started off right. This place is a gem. Don't even think twice, you won't be disappointed. PS I think if you call ahead they can arrange good weather. It worked for me. read more

What an amazing place, experience, meal, and location! My husband and I visited for the weekend for a wedding nearby and we wished we could stay MUCH longer! There are not words enough to describe Marco, Angelo, and the rest of the staff. The room was immaculately clean and the bed was very comfortable as well. The location is great and they really keep the property in pristine condition - The landscape is gorgeous and the smell of the flowers every morning was so wonderful to wake up to. Angelo and Marco sure know how to cook up a great breakfast, too! My husband is a chef at a prominent restaurant in Chicago so sufficed to say his palate is not always easy to please, but Angelo and Marco really put together some thoughtful dishes. We really enjoyed spending the mornings in the intimate dining room and sharing conversation with everyone - My husband really splurged on the coffee and homemade cookies :) We unfortunately do not get out to the Cape as much as we'd like, but this may be more of a reason to make it happen more often. We will definitely go back and stay here. We can't thank everyone there enough for such a perfect and memorable stay! read more

This place is perfect! Attention to details in everything. Marco is very pleasant and accommodating. He made us feel welcomed. Angelo is a great chef he made delicious breakfast and freshly baked afternoon treats. What more could you ask for?! We would definitely stay here again. Thank You! read more

My husband and I just returned from our favorite place on the Cape, the Candleberry Inn in Brewster. If you love historic B&B's, do yourself a favor and make a reservation today. The hosts, Marco and Angelo, make us feel like the Inn is our second home and treat everyone like family. This year -- our fifth stay at the Candleberry -- we found a delicious homemade cupcake in our room to celebrate our anniversary and my husband's retirement. Warm touches like this one are typical of Marco and Angelo's hospitality and beckon us to return again and again. Their five star hospitality is matched by the Inn's five star food offerings. Angelo is an aptly named chef and baker-- the Angel of the kitchen. His delicious creations are so beautifully plated that you hate to eat them. Artfully arranged fruit dishes precede the main course and are served either inside or out, depending on your choice. (I like to eat outside where their luscious gardens spill over the edges of the covered patio.) Each meal Angelo makes is a gustatory treat, from the savory breakfasts to sinfully good midafternoon treats of cookies, brownies, or cakes. Offerings are generous and leave us so pleasantly sated that we rarely bother eating lunch. Marco is the "face of the place," so to speak. No one makes us feel more welcome than Marco each time we visit. He's patient and kind, and he generously gives of himself in any way we need. He personally inspects each room before our arrival to make sure everything is up to his standards, from the linens to the sparkle on the "jewelry" (the hardware in the bathrooms:-). He also keeps the morning breakfast running smoothly and always stops to chat with us despite being busy. The two men complement one another perfectly and make the Candleberry our Cape Place to Be. This year we were surprised to find that all the rooms had new bathrooms installed. Each now has tastefully tiled floors and showers, and some even have soaking tubs! I love staying in an historic home but I am grateful for modern conveniences too. Although the Inn is one of the oldest buildings in Brewster, it has every amenity necessary for 21st century living. The Inn's setting is perfect too. Everything you want or need is a short drive away, and the Brewster location is free of the commercialism that mars other sections of the Cape. Attractive old churches and homes line the streets, a cemetery with gravestones going back to the 1700's lends itself to strolls, or if you miss shopping, you can get ice cream at the Brewster Scoop or browse in the Brewster General Store, a local institution that has been selling everything from candy to lamp parts since 1866. Benches outside the store create a sort of town square where people gather to chat or relax and enjoy their surroundings. If you could remove the cars from the equation, you could easily imagine yourself living in an earlier, less hectic time. The Candleberry is also within walking distance of a local beach and within driving distance of several other Cape beaches. Personally we love the nearby Brewster Flats because of the spectacular sunsets and the expanse of open beach during low tide. If you like big, crashing waves, though, the National Seashore is a mere 20 minute drive away. Brewster is central to everything. I could go on about the immense pleasure I take from my stays at the Candleberry Inn forever, but you really need to experience it for yourself. My descriptions are poor substitutes for the real thing. My husband and I are already planning a return trip. We can't wait to go back! read more

We booked this place on a whim for a one night getaway on Cape Cod, but we were not prepared for how truly amazing it would be!

The breakfast made fresh every day was truly a godsend. It really made the place feel like home. We stayed in Seabreeze, one of the rooms on the upper level, and had a porch right outside it that we shared with the only other room on that floor, which was perfect because we often had it all to ourselves! The staff was so kind and friendly. I think about this B&B often and highly recommend it to those looking for a beautiful, quiet, relaxing spot to call home when you're in Cape Cod! read more

Marco and Angelo are gracious hosts, welcoming all to their lovely bed and breakfast. Our room was immaculate and extremely comfortable. The main house is lovingly maintained with beautiful antiques, but we were encouraged to enjoy the common spaces and relax with coffee and homemade treats every afternoon. Our breakfasts were delicious! And the grounds were spectacular!! All the spring flowers were in bloom which added to the elegance of this historic Inn. We look forward to visiting again.

My husband and I stayed here one night on the cape. It is so quaint and beautiful. We wished we could stay longer. Marco and Angelo are wonderful inn keepers and hosts. Breakfast was perfect and the inn is cozy. Angelo baked fresh biscotti and brownies for us to enjoy. Our room was beautiful and perfect for two people (room 5). Free parking. Brewster is a cute place to stay. We drove up to PTown for the night and Angelo gave us great local recommendations for food and drinks there. We are planning our next stay and hope to return soon! read more

Our weekend at Candleberry Inn was absolutely wonderful. Marco made us feel welcome before we even arrived as he helped us arrange for a late evening arrival. We stayed in the Garden Suite which was beautiful. We appreciated all the small touches throughout the weekend. The staff at the inn did a fantastic job of making us feel safe. They only sat a certain number of tables (outside in the beautiful garden) for breakfast, and you could see how often they wiped down common touch points. The breakfasts themselves were also amazing! Would happily return!! read more

See all

This bed and breakfast is excellent for food, service and atmosphere. Marco and Angelo are the best in making you feel as if you are their only guests. The breakfast not only satisfies the taste buds but the presentation is like something out of a gourmet food magazine. Oh and the afternoon "delight" surprises of cookies, brownies and cinnamon swirl butter cakes were a real treat in the afternoon. The bedrooms are comfy , cozy and include wireless phone chargers and up to date bathrooms. Our garden room had a cozy patio surrounded by trees and comfortable seating outside. The Brewster flats are only a short 5 mins away and if you check the schedule of the tides, you can see the sun set over the flats and capture nature at its best. The grounds of the Candleberry Inn envelope the house with blooming hydrangeas and mature trees that house melodious bird songs. We love you Marco and Angelo! Thank you for such warm hospitality and making our stay one to remember! Kathy and Susan. Room #1 read more

The innkeepers Marco and Angelo make this gorgeous bed and breakfast the perfect place to stay. From the amazing breakfasts every morning, daily treats, sparkling clean rooms, and beautiful grounds they truly go above and beyond to ensure you have a perfect stay. My wife and I went for our honeymoon and they even called the restaurant they recommended to get us a special table. I cannot recommend staying here enough read more

Unsurpassed! Candleberry's hosts, Marco and Angelo, offer everything that sets a B&B stay apart from a hotel: passionate attention to detail and a genuine love of people. After a wonderful three-night stay, my husband and I nearly cried when we said goodbye to them. First, the inn itself: the building and the grounds are immaculate yet welcoming. Our room (Breezing Up) was airy and beautifully decorated. The furnishings and wonderful wide-planked floor were a constant reminder the inn was originally built as a captain's house. As for creature comforts, it was easily the most thoughtfully-appointed room I've stayed in, with superb linens, comfy reading chairs, a quiet A/C unit, and other thoughtful touches. If you prefer details to surprises, check out the "Spoilers" section below. Be sure to walk the grounds. We stayed in late June, when the hydrangeas, roses, and lilies were blooming, but the gardens will be delightful in any season. The boxwood looks like something from an enchanted forest. There's ample parking as well. Now to the most important element in a B&B: the hosts. Marco and Angelo are generous of spirit and love what they do. That spirit shows in the extraordinary breakfast (our three meals exceeded anything I've had in a Four Seasons hotel) and the over-the-top attention to detail. Angelo works his wizardry in the kitchen while Marco attends to your every need with expertise and kindness. Their warmth came through in spite of the required masks. And if you're worried about COVID, they have taken every step to ensure everyone's safety, including that of their staff. Spoiler Alert! Do not read if you like pleasant surprises! You'll find two superb local chocolates in your room upon arrival. Angelo makes cookies from scratch every day, presented in a brown bag on the dining room table in the afternoon. The room offers two guest robes, two luggage racks, a high-quality close-up mirror, and fabulous towels (including two black washcloths for guilt-free makeup removal). Outlets abound, easily accessible from each side of the bed. Breakfast is an experience! First, Marco brings each person his or her own coffee carafe, which I love, and describes the two-course breakfast of the day. Fruit--in innovative, unique combinations--comes first, then something hot and satisfying. Each course is a feast for the eyes as well as the palate, prepared with utmost care, and served with grace. We were lucky. Because of COVID, the inn wasn't completely full, and that allowed us extra time with Marco and Angelo. It sounds corny, but we felt we were leaving two friends behind when we said goodbye. read more

Desperately looking for a change of scenery and relaxation amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, my fiance and I decided upon a trip to the Cape. We chose Brewster for a variety of reasons, including the history, the beaches, and the lush greenery. All those things we were hoping for were incredible, but our stay at the Candleberry is what will drive us to revisit. Marco and Angelo went out of their way to make sure that we were comfortable and ensure us that nothing would be compromised in the way of safety. Upon our arrival, Marco already knew who we were without having to share our names. He shows genuine interest in your stay and he and Angelo go out of their way to interact with and get to know the guests. The inn grounds are impeccably kept, and the breakfast is incredible. Marco and Angelo truly thought of everything when it came to our stay (tide schedules, lists of COVID compliant restaurants, the personalized service). Marco and Angelo truly make you feel like you are guests in their own home and it's unarguably clear that they love what they do. Exceeded our expectations! read more
