At a Glance

Pros
- with all the Victorian flourish, the smallish rooms can feel a bit overdone

Cons
Palmer House Inn Review
This turn-of-the-20th-century Queen Anne home stands on a tree-lined street, just a short stroll from Falmouth's Village Green. The Victorian interior of Falmouth's largest B&B is pretty if slightly over the top, with heavy period furniture, endless lace, and ornate stained-glass windows—many rooms have fireplaces. One good bet is the third-floor Tower Room, which has a view across the treetops. The large rooms in the 1910 carriage house are airier, with more-tailored appointments, and four newer rooms, all with whirlpool baths, are less ornate. There's a two-bedroom suite in a separate cottage (where young children are permitted). A candlelight breakfast is served, and afternoon refreshments are available.
