Worst people ever to own an inn. Came to stay this past week (June 2026) and brought my infant. I did not read the policy that states children under 12 are not allowed (which is my fault). However, we came in with our baby, and the owner Ray was so rude, it was unbelievable and disgusting actually. He kicked us out and said you cannot stay here but would offer us a refund since it was within 24 hours. I walked away extremely upset but understood the policy. I now called the owners wondering where my refund is and he LIED!!!! Stating he never said that, when my husband and I both heard him say that explicitly and we have no reason to lie. He stated he would give us the refund since it was within 24 hours. I will be reporting this charge to my credit card company as this is fraud if I have ever seen it. When I called back he said "people go on vacation to escape children, not so you can bring them with you". Disgusting people and have never seen treatment like this in my life. read more

My friend and I were excited for our trip to Chatham and had booked a room at the Old Harbor Inn several months in advance, after researching several options. The trip got off to a poor start when we were shown to our rooms and found that one of them had a "private bathroom just down the hall." We never expected that a guest room costing more than $450/night would not be ensuite. When we checked with the proprietors about this and asked if we could have another room, we were told they were full up and that we "just had to accept that we had made a poor choice." That was certainly the case as our interaction with the owners was quite an unpleasant experience. Many reviews mention that the Inn is "Welcoming," but for us it was anything but. The owners blamed us (apparently we didn't read the fine print) and they told us that they would be happy to have us leave and forfeit our deposit. We didn't. We stuck it out. The experience and the bathroom situation were a shame because there is a lot to like at the Inn. Apart from the owners, the staff were kind and helpful, the building and grounds are very attractive, the breakfast delicious, and the location was excellent. read more

When you think of hotels/inn, you think of "oh it's just a place ill sleep and thats it." Not at all. The inn gave me such a Gilmore Girls vibe (their second inn, Dragon Fly). It was charming, homey, and most importantly for us, quiet. Judy and Ray who are the owners have been running that inn for over 26 years. And Rachel (general manager) has been there for 4 seasons. They are just wonderful people, and always welcomed us every morning like your own mom and dad. Rachel is probably your cousin. The breakfast were all home made and delicious. One morning we had waffles with strawberries. Another morning a quiche. I drink a lot of sparkling water, and so HAPPY they had a machine to pour your own. Tenz! Tenz! Tenz! Tenz across the board. Thank you guys (especially the staff!) for being wonderful. We will come again for sure. read more

Old Harbor Inn is a true gem. The property is kept in immaculate condition. They take cleanliness seriously here and I love it! Our stay was very comfortable. There was always PLENTY of complimentary water, tea, coffee and treats available throughout the day for all of the guests. The breakfast menu changes on a daily basis and was delicious. I still can't get over how amazing the orange, ricotta pancakes were! But really, the true highlight of our stay was meeting Judy and Ray (owners). They were so incredibly hospitable. Judy made us feel right at home the moment we met her. She's so nice, thoughtful and has a great sense humor! If you are planning to stay in Chatham, I highly recommend staying here. You will feel right at home. read more

First of all, I loved this little inn so much! My boyfriend and I decided to "staycation" here, and he mentioned when booking I was gluten free and WOW did they go out of their way to ensure we had options! Wine selection was wonderful, everyone was so friendly and typically staying anywhere we need to eat out and that's what we planned on but I love that they made breakfast gluten free and were so kind about it! (Neither of us expected GF croissants!) We loved the hot tub in the room it was perfect for a peaceful weekend away, do wish they allowed dining in rooms however we looked past that as it was the only down side! - Hopefully will be making this a yearly weekend trip at this wonderful inn :) the oyster room was so cute as well. (His favorite thing was the tv in the bathroom of course) read more

We decided to take a tour of the Cape and the last stop on our trip was The Old Harbor Inn in Chatham. We should have made this our home base from from the start. Everything is convenient to this location and the accommodations, staff and amenities are second to none. Book here fast! read more

If I could give 6+ stars to the Old Harbor Inn, I absolutely would. We spent a delightful weekend at this family-owned Inn and couldn't be more impressed. The rooms were spotless, the breakfast was absolutely incredible (including specialized sensitivity to my gluten allergy), and the staff were kind and attentive. Such a lovely place to visit and incredibly authentic to Cape Cod! We recommend this getaway to all of our friends and family!! read more

What do you look for in an unforgettable getaway? ---- comfortable surroundings, genuinely friendly and caring hosts and staff, and a delicious breakfast. My expectations were far surpassed on all counts. Everyone went out of his way to accommodate me and make me feel pampered. When I booked my reservations, I had asked whether the advertised blueberry pancakes were still on the menu. They made a note of that and made I didn't leave without making my wishes a reality. And the pancakes were scrumptious! An experience to remember. read more

Just finished our stay at Old Harbor Inn. We have stayed at many B&B's, we agreed this was among the best. The accommodations were updated, clean and very comfortable. Everything from the linens to the mattress was top notch! The breakfast menu changed daily. Everything was fresh and delicious. There were homemade treats and coffee available all day as well as a wine and cheese happy hour on Friday afternoon. Judy, Ray and their entire staff all work hard to be sure your stay is perfect. If you're near the Cape, stay here, you will be glad you did. We will definitely visit again! read more

Our stay at The Old Harbor Inn was excellent. Thank you Ray and Judy Braz, and the Inn staff. You are gracious and wonderful hosts. We stayed in the Yarmouth Room. It's a beautiful and spacious room and separate bath. Check this room out on the internet. The Old Harbor Inn has an enjoyable location, easy walking to historic downtown Chatham and to the Cape Cod seashore. We were treated to a gourmet breakfast every morning. Chatham has good restaurants and many-most are easy walking distance from the Inn. The beautiful Hydrangeas were in full bloom at The Old Harbor Inn - stunning. The Inn is easy walking distance to the Chatham baseball park for Cape Cod summer league college baseball. Ray and Judy have in depth knowledge of the Cape and really helped us enjoy our visit. Thank you. read more

Spent 4 nights here recently but have been coming here for 10 years. Love this place the ambiance, the breakfast and most of all the Inn Keepers Judy and Ray are warm and inviting people, we always feel like family when we are there. Have stayed in a number of rooms never a bad one. Stay there and enjoy S and R CT read more

We just spent the weekend here. Beautiful room, delicious food and lovely hosts. Plus, we could stay 2 nights vs 3 required by many other places. Loved it! read more

I spent four nights here over July 4th weekend with my girlfriend and we loved every minute of it. I have zero complaints, only positive things to say about Judy and Ray. Each morning you were served a diverse and delicious breakfast. They handled the Covid virus extremely well. All pastries were individually wrapped, the staff all wore masks, the tables were properly distanced from each other and the rooms were immaculately cleaned. Chatham is also a fun, cute town to explore and also close to so many other places to visit that are within driving distance of the Inn. read more

We stayed for four night as our "mini-honeymoon" and we had a wonderful stay. Judy and Ray were wonderful, friendly and very welcoming. The staff was so helpful in giving us information about where to eat and places to check out. They also helped us book a few excursions and were all around very accommodating. The breakfast was always great, there was a lot to choose from and there was something different every morning. Overall I would definitely recommend this Inn and I will stay again! read more

EEEEKKKKK!!!!! Don't take them at their word or confirmation number. They oversold and overbooked TWICE on me despite credit card confirmation. The customer service was ghastly. Over July 4th week-end they resold and overbooked my reservation without even contacting me in person. When I called to inquire what was going on with my confirmed reservations they had a who cares attitude. Their solution for their disorganized reservation system, "call the Chatham chamber of commerce". WHAT? On the other hand the Seafarer could not have provided more excellent customer service. They provided me assurance they stand behind their confirmation numbers and would surely contact me personally, rather than leaving a message while I was out of town and unable to have internet or phone service like Old Harbor Inn did. Unless you are willing to take a big gamble on a reservation being NOT guaranteed, steer very clear of Old Harbor Inn and their rude customer service help, Ray. read more

A fabolous bed and breakfast. I spent a night there in Feb with my girlfriend. Judy and Ray couldn't have been nicer. The room was very comfortable. Chatham is very charming in the winter and i am glad we stayed a the Old Harbor Inn. The breakfast was delicious pancakes and Judy had a ton of fresh fruit as well as muffins. I will be returning in the summer! read more

Very charming, warm environment with good food. We had a ground level room (was a basement) that was small and mediocre. I'd go again but be careful to choose a different room. Great hospitality. read more

Enjoyed my stay; they have wonderful staff. Judy and Ray were lovely! They have snacks available 24/7.

This place was the highlight of our trip! Ray, Judy and their staff are so kind and do anything possible to ensure you have a great stay. They upgraded our room and gave us a bottle of champagne since it was our honeymoon. The breakfasts are delicious, with fresh-baked breads and pastries every morning. Location was perfect and made walking in Chatham easy. Would absolutely recommend this B&B to anyone! read more

This was our first time at a B&B. My husband has never wanted to stay at one because he likes the privacy of a hotel. We stayed in the Sutcliffe Inlet, which was quite small, but still clean and quiet. It had a private bathroom (this was a requirement as far as my husband was concerned) which was a nice size, although the shower was VERY small with a cheap shower head (reminded me of a fixture one might encounter at a beach or fairground public facility); but again, this is more like being a guest in someone's home, not a guest in a huge chain hotel. The in-window A/C unit worked well. Our bed was not terribly comfortable, but we have stayed in many Marriotts and Hyatts with uncomfortable beds. This is always a matter of individual preference. If you are a late riser, you may miss breakfast, which is quite nice. It is mostly sweet pastries, fruits, yogurt and juice. The hot items served on our stay were quiche, french toast, pancakes and poached eggs. Its location makes this a wonderful place to park and walk all over Chatham, or drive to Hyannis or Provincetown. The hosts, Judy and Ray are wonderful-just as everyone says they are! For the money, this is a great way to experience Chatham for FAR LESS that the Bars Inn or the Wequasset (at $600-1000 per NIGHT) and you can walk right into town for dining and shopping. read more

This little guest house is a gem of a find; quiet, quaint and complete with family owners who go out of their way to help you plan your stay. We stayed in the Yarmouth Suite which was really comfortable. The room got a little humid [it was July] but does come complete with ceiling fan and aircon. There are lots of nice little touches the owners have put a lot of thought into - the large bathroom has a fridge filled with soda and cold water. There are also abundant snacks in the room and downstairs in the breakfast area that are free and replenished throughout the day. Tea and coffee is also always available as is a freeflowning supply of homemade cake. The breakfast is also very good and alternated daily - blueberry pancakes, bacon and cheese omlette - yum. Stay here if you are looking for a relaxing, kid-free break [they have a no-child policy]. When the sun isn't shining you can help yourself to the large film collection, this place is also very near the town centre and lively Main Street. Do the whale watching trip and brave the nearby Oyster Pond which is ideal [due to the calm warm waters] for swimming. read more

Three night November weekend stay. Can echo and even amplify on what other reviewers have written: friendly and accommodating hosts (Judy and Ray) and staff; fabulous breakfasts; great location; numerous amenities and "nice touches." Our room was large, immaculately clean, tastefully furnished -- and had a gas fireplace to take the chill off. Could not recommend this inn more highly. read more

This was one of the nicest stays we have had on the cape. We usually go to larger hotels with pools and on the beach. We have found our new place on the cape. A quick ride to many beaches. The Inn is immaculate, great location, and the food will keep you going for days. They are cooking fresh sweets in the kitchen all day. We had a great breakfast every morning, basically whatever you like!! We went the week of the 4th. It's a close walk to Main Street so need for a car. We walked at night to restaurants and for drinks. We brought a bottle of wine to enjoy on the beautiful patio. Judy and Ray truly do not know what to do for you. I can't say enough. I travel for work and read all the reviews and felt this is too good to be true. They won us over and this will be our new spot on the cape. I'm sure anyone who visits will feel the same. We also met some great people staying at the Inn. All ages and bey friendly!!!!! read more

Our stay at the Old Harbor Inn made our trip to Chatham very comfortable and fun. The rooms were beautifully appointed and every detail emphasized the local culture.. Owners Judy and Ray are natural hosts and great chefs always having something special to eat every morning. Their knowledge and description of the area was expertly informed. If I were to return to Chatham I would definitely come back! read more

The Old Harbor Inn truly represents the best of the best in terms of hospitality from the owners Judy and Ray to every member of their wonderful staff! Beautiful rooms, delicious breakfasts, easy walking distance to shopping, food and the beach. There's nothing more you need! We cannot imagine any place being better than the Old Harbor Inn. read more

We stayed here for our honeymoon and were completely thrilled with the Inn. The room (Oyster Pond) was fantastic and the staff was kind, thoughtful, and fun to talk with at breakfast. Easy walking distance to the shops in Chatham, the beach, movie theatre, Chatham A's games, everything you could want in a Cape vacation. We hope to return soon!! read more
