Fodor's Expert Review Carriage House Inn

Editor's Note: This location is reported to be under new ownership and therefore this review may contain inaccuracies.

There is a real sense of fresh, beach-resort elegance at this aged inn just outside Chatham's town center that has been maintained well over the years. Guest-room decor is a blend of contemporary sensibility with a distinctly Cape Cod feel; walls are painted in soothing hues of cream, soft blues, and greens, and each is blessedly uncluttered by frills. The former stables contain three larger and more secluded rooms with high-pitched ceilings, fireplaces, and French or sliding-glass doors leading to private outdoor areas. Begin each morning with a delicious full breakfast. The beach is a mile away.
