    Third breakfast course
    Jan B.

    I want to give this a 10 star rating. I do not think that I have ever stayed at a more charming, yet elegant hotel/ bed and breakfast. While we are diligent with reading reviews and scouring photos- it's easy to be disappointed- but not here. The Inn is lovely. It is also immaculate and the interior finishes are beautifully updated and while it is an historic residence, it has a modern twist with the appointments in the rooms. Exquisite beds and linens, quality flooring, absolutely stunning. Not to be missed is a delightful breakfast, local coffee beans and homemade jams to choose from. Do not think for one minute that this is any less than a 5 star facility. My hat is tipped to this husband and wove team. BRAVO.

    By far The best B&B I've ever stayed in anywhere. Beautifully furnished, decorated and appointed. Lovely gardens and pool that's heated and open all year! Fire pit completes the setting. This B&B is more like a relaxing spa experience--each room is supplied with high end soaps, and amenities. Macaroons and a hand written card completes your welcome. The food is delicious and presented professionally and graciously. I highly recommend Captain Freeman's.

    An outstanding bed and breakfast. Google will tell you it's a 3-star hotel but that's really a disservice to the quality and care that goes into your stay here. It's an old house but they have done a wonderful job updating the facilities (the bathrooms are gorgeous, AC was perfect) without sacrificing the charm. The property has a beautiful swimming pool and a great backyard garden for the lazy-afternoon-book-readers. It is walking distance to a small beach and central to many great dining options. The Covid-19 protocols they have in place are great and really reassuring that no corners were cut in ensuring guests' safety. The beating heart of the entire operation is the hospitality. Laurie and Jason are fantastic hosts and the great organization, thoughtful design and reliable great taste of Captain Freeman Inn is clearly attributable to them. The breakfasts are superb but the gentle guidance about our daily adventures (what to do, where to eat, etc.) in Cape Cod is certainly what I will remember the most. The price point is terrific - a steal considering what you get. We will most definitely return.

    My husband and I stayed here back in 1994. So glad we came back this year! Wow what a beautiful renovation! The rooms the grounds were so nice and every detail is not overlooked. The pool is my favorite area, so peaceful. Just the perfect stay by the most gracious hosts/owners. Oh lets not forget the wonderful breakfast, afternoon snacks, and coffee/tea bar available on each floor 24/7. Will definitely be back!

    My wife and I were invited to a wedding in Harwich and stayed 3 days at Captain Freeman Inn. It was our first time and we were very favorably impressed. The Inn is situated on a quiet street in a residential neighborhood and is a pleasant short walk to Breakwater Beach. It is immaculate, welcoming, and well staffed. Byron and Donna are helpful and always available. We enjoyed our room (Yarmouth) and found everything to be first class--the linens, furnishings, toiletries. The weather was changeable during our stay and the climate control system was effective and unobtrusive. The breakfasts alone are worth the trip. We have been in numerous B&B's with well-intentioned proprietors who try. Byron and Donna succeed magnificently. Besides breakfast, there are remarkable baked goods available during the day and a variety of fresh cold beverages. We would definitely return and advise others to give Captain Freeman serious consideration.

    Soon as I walked through the door, I fell in love with this place. The owners Donna and Byron are so welcoming, helpful and friendly, you feel like you are at home. What makes this B&B so special is its one of a kind charm, the amazing breakfast and afternoon/evening treats (to die for!), the staff including their cute sweetie dog Harrison, and all the extras you get with your stay (local made natural bath soaps, morning coffee located next to your room, bath towels, umbrellas, etc.). Each room is decorated differently so there is a room for every Cape Cod style. There were so many other nice people staying there that it just added to the experience. The location is also ideal, walking distance from the beach, close to major highways, centrally located to great restaurants, other towns and is next store to the historic Brewster General Store. A must see on your Cape Cod travels. You know you love a place when you get sad to leave and I'm still bummed our vacation is over. Part of the reason why my boyfriend and I had such a great trip was because of our experience at the Captain Freeman Inn. I can't wait to stay here again and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality, quaint and memorable B&B. Stay here for at least 3 days. I promise you will want to stay longer!

    Lauri and Jason are wonderful hosts who have created a charming and elegant Inn. Both the exterior and interior are beautifully decorated with so much attention to detail. The Inn is spacious, comfortable and immaculately clean. We stayed in the Brewster Room. We arrived to 2 decadent cupcakes and a personalized hand written note. The bed and pillows were so luxurious and comfortable. There is a large closet, a/c, gas fireplace. Additionally, bathrobes and slippers were available.The breakfast was absolutely delicious as were the sweet, freshly baked goodies available in the afternoon. Coffee and tea is readily available throughout the Inn. Laurie and Jason accommodated our different food preferences by providing us options. They out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable and that all of our needs were met. There are both blankets and umbrellas available to utilize outside. We loved the gas fire pit in the back and the rocking chairs on the front porch. They gave us suggestions for things to do in the area and were always available if we needed them. We will with out questions return in the future.

    We came to the Cape for the 1st leg of our honeymoon and stayed at the Captain Freeman Inn for 4 nights. I was excited for a sweet BnB, and this place was SO MUCH MORE! #1: the rooms are great! If you can tolerate a queen bed, the Harwich Room has THE BEST shower/bathroom. All of the rooms are cute though, and spacious with nice sitting areas. The antiques are well maintained and everything was extremely clean. #2: breakfast is out of this world! Every day our breakfast was unique and filling. We rarely needed to eat again until early afternoon or evening. #3: the owners' and staffs' attention to detail was exceptional. If I could give them 6 stars, I would. Thank you Byron & Donna!!! It was a honeymoon that one only dreams of!

Since…read moreit was a private retreat, we had our own chef (lobster dinner!) and meals provided by a local chef. There were seven of us and each of us had our own bedroom and private bath in the remodeled bed and breakfast inn. The Sea Meadow Inn was the home of Captain Isaiah Clark, built around 1783 on Route 6A, the Old King's Highway, in the town of Brewster which was often called the Sea Captains Town since so many built homes there. Now it is a bed and breakfast and each of the seven rooms has its own personality. I slept in the Jeremiah room, which was the room of Captain Clark's son Jeremiah, who scrawled his name on the attic door, and the name is still visible on the attic door! There is a large kitchen and sitting room in which we all gathered, as well a patio, a huge lawn with chairs, as well as a fire pit. I was there in October, but remnants of flowers were abundant in the gardens surrounding the house. The house has the floors, fireplaces, and nostalgia of an earlier era, but the private bathrooms and bedrooms are all nicely furnished. It's a magical place and I highly recommend it if you are looking for a place to stay in Cape Cod.

The bedroom features an oversized California King bed, a desk and chair, television and lounge chair with ottoman. Beautiful French double doors lead to one of the loveliest features of the room which is a private deck with chairs. The living room has a delightful fireplace, comfortable sofa and another television. There is also a tastefuly done little kitchenette which was stocked with dishes and glassware as well as a mini fridge. And off the living room is the attractive bathroom stocked with toiletries and comfortable robes. Right outside our room was a Flavia coffee and tea maker as well as another refrigerator with complimentary creamer, soda and bottled water. The table in our bedroom also had a complimentary decanter of sherry and two scrumptious chocolate truffles were left on our pillows each evening. Although most of the inn's rooms are in a separate building a few steps away, breakfast is served each morning in the main house and in the company of Harrison, the inn's resident and well behaved Labradoodle. An afternoon sweet treat of cake or cookies is also provided in the main house and there's always a bowl of chocolates if you need a sweet to tide you over. We had the bad luck to not have the inn-keepers, Donna and Byron, in residence during most of our stay as they'd suffered a death in the family and were out of state. However, they'd left clear instruction with their staff about our arrival and we were warmly greeted and welcomed. During our stay, the staff was quick to answer questions about the area and to provide restaurant recommendations. The room itself also contained a lot of information about local attractions and restaurants. The night before our last day we came back to our room to find a complimentary bottle of champagne and note from the innkeepers with their sincere regrets for having been away during our stay. That was a very nice touch and was greatly appreciated. On the down side, we actually didn't think much of the breakfasts as they were largely flavorless and frequently included microwaved bacon. We wondered if the food suffered due to Donna's absence because she was billed as the cook. Both Donna and Byron were back on our last morning and it was Donna who prepared our breakfast that day. The food did improve under her stewardship but we'd still say it compared poorly to other B&B's we've visited. Our room, though lovely, did have some oddities. All the plumbing fixtures were installed backwards so that all handles turned in an atypical direction and the shower pipe was loose which restricted some of the water pressure. The impression was that the work had not been professionally done. In the bedroom, the bed was oddly situated with one side far too close to the wall despite more than ample room on the other side. It made it uncomfortable for the person sleeping on that side to get in and out of bed. Finally, we do have somewhat of a pet peeve with inn-keepers who advertise suites, which should be two separate rooms divided by a door, even though the room does not meet that criteria. In this case, the only separation between the bedroom and living room was a screen. Nevertheless, the inn was quite nice and Donna and Byron were charming hosts who had trained their staff well. Brewster is located mid-Cape and convenient for day trips to Hyannis and Provincetown which makes this a good choice for a place to stay and there are some lovely beaches right by the inn. Overall we enjoyed our stay on Cape Cod very much.

Upon arrival of the "hotel room" - I use this loosely as it was essentially section 8 housing. We were greeted with a dirty apartment, a large wad of black tangled hair on the bathroom wall, a large wad of seemingly dog / animal hair in the foyer, a loud door in the foyer that slammed loudly and shook the apartment unit upon opening, and a musty smell that I can only assume was mold. Of course, I immediately requested to switch rooms to the main hotel grounds. We checked into an actual hotel room that was clean and normal. The breakfast, beach bar and ocean terrace were all fine experiences. The beach is the reason we return to this hotel property and did not disappoint ... until my husband was assaulted by another hotel guest's child, left unattended, on the beach. We were sitting on the beach when a child threw a large rock the size of my palm right at my unassuming husband's face. The child's parents did nothing. I immediately jumped up to attend to my husband and walk him back to our hotel room to ice his face. After he was situated, I explained the scenario to the concierge and a manager who was walking by. They took down my number and told me they'd reach out after corresponding with the hotel beach bar manager. I never heard back from anyone. Upon check out the next day, I followed up only to be left waiting in the lobby for 30+ minutes and then accosted by the hotel room booking manager. He was dismissive, haughty, rude, condescending, inappropriate, unprofessional and misogynistic. He said, "You should've contacted the police" "I don't know what you want me to do" "What do you want to get from this" when I simply asked him what hotel protocol or recourse would be as this was a hotel guest assaulting another hotel guest on hotel property. My husband's glasses were broken and he was bleeding. They did nothing to correct the situation, apologize or help. I would never stay here again and I am so disappointed as I was excited to show my husband the hotel that my late father, mother and I would return to each summer in my childhood.

It was so nice to be outside and take in the fresh air. The Front Lawn is a great spot for families and offers a relaxed, open-air atmosphere.
