What Guests Are Saying
“We had an absolutely wonderful 3-night stay at the Candleberry Inn to celebrate Mother’s Day and our anniversary. Our hosts, Charlene and Eric, were extraordinarily helpful in keeping our room and the entire premises beautiful and clean. They gave us ideas on places to visit in the area and they were all great, especially the lavender farm where we bought several that we brought home and planted along our rock wall out front. We loved the entire place and everyone we met, and can’t wait to go back for a longer stay in the fall!” — Paul O., 5 stars

What guests are saying about Candleberry Inn on Cape Cod.
"We had the most wonderful stay at Candleberry Inn in Cape Cod! From the moment we arrived, we could feel the love and care that Charlene and Eric put into every detail of the inn. The property is absolutely beautiful—immaculately kept, spotless, and filled with warmth and charm that makes you feel instantly at home. Each morning was such a treat thanks to Eric’s incredible breakfasts. He created a new menu every day, and every dish was not only delicious but also thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. To make things even more special, Charlene baked small batches of pastries daily, which were always fresh, delightful, and made with such care. What truly sets Candleberry Inn apart is the genuine passion and hospitality of Charlene and Eric. You can tell they pour their hearts into making every guest’s experience unforgettable. Their attention to detail and personal touch made our stay exceptional in every way. If you’re looking for a place that feels both luxurious and full of heart, Candleberry Inn is truly a gem. We can’t recommend it enough and are already looking forward to returning!"

That being said, I can unequivocally say Candleberry Inn ranks #1 in the list of places we have stayed. Charlene and Eric love what they do and take such great pride in everything they provide, down to every minute detail, for their guests! The Candleberry Inn, its rooms, shared living spaces, and grounds are absolutely beautiful, comfortable, and meticulously clean. We had an amazing stay at Candleberry Inn and wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Cape Cod!"
