Wonderful, atmospheric, historic inn, NEXT DOOR to Edward Gordy House. 👻 Amazingly well-stocked bar with great Belgian beers and inventive fancy cocktails.

The chapter house was a great surprise, a really nice hotel with character in a very nice part of Dennis. The staff was friendly, the bar had great cocktails, and the atmosphere was excellent. I would highly recommend it, a much better experience than your standard hotel.

Lovely property. Not completely worth the high price tag (high humidity in the room, noisy above the kitchen, staff were ok, not super pleasant), but I guess that's the price you pay for a few summer nights in Cape Cod. Our room was very clean and the bed comfortable. Location wasn't far from most places we wanted to visit.

The Chapter House is a beautiful inn with spacious accommodations, a wonderful staff, and a quaint bar. Perfect place for a Cape Cod stay with lots of local flavor.

Incredible B&B built in 1719. Staff was amazing, breakfast delicious, the huge yard and firepit perfect, and the room spacious. What a gem!

Visiting from the UK we found this hotel a perfect location for us. Hotel was perfectly clean and beautifully renovated for such an old building, it had everything we needed. Local village walkable, with a couple of shops and places to eat all with 5-10 minutes. Nearest large town was Hyannis, but central to anywhere else on the Cape.

The Chapter House is an absolutely beautiful property. My husband and I went to The Cape for our anniversary and couldn't be happier with our stay here. It was clean and had a very calm and relaxing feel to it. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. I cant imagine staying anywhere else at The Cape after staying at The Chapter House. Absolute 5 star experience!

The place was very charming but the air conditioning was not sufficient with the small window unit. The staff were very kind and helpful.
