What Guests Are Saying
“We had a wonderful time at Old Manns Inn. The house has a lot of charm, especially the Lewis Bay Light Suite. The hosts, Brain and Charlie, and all the staff were very friendly and made us feel right at home. The welcome with name tags and national flags was very individual and personal. The complimentary afternoon snack (cheese, wine, nuts) from Wednesday to Sunday, accompanied by pleasant conversations with other guests, was particularly appealing. Every morning, there is a different breakfast menu with a special story, which we enjoyed on the beautiful terrace or in the dining room. Brewster is ideally located on Cape Cod for excursions in every direction.” — Uwe K., 5 stars

What guests are saying about The Old Manse Inn.
"We had a spectacular stay at the Old Manse Inn and couldn’t rate it highly enough for a relaxing Cape Cod experience. First of all, Brian and Charlie are the loveliest hosts and gave us the warmest welcome (and a British flag out front 😅). The Inn is lovely - so many small touches that make a big difference and it is decorated beautifully. Breakfast is definitely the highlight, freshly prepared each day and delicious. And the location is perfect for exploring the area (make sure to visit Brewster Scoop - best ice cream of my life). We stayed in Nauset Light which is the smallest room on the property but still felt very spacious and the shower pressure was excellent. Thank you for a gorgeous stay - we’ll be back for sure!"

The inn is beautifully decorated with both comfortable and period pieces, and you can always find a cozy place to enjoy a glass of wine in one of the numerous common areas. A high priority for my wife and me is a comfortable mattress, and the inn does not disappoint. We spent four days at the inn and were pleasantly surprised by a most delicious breakfast each morning. Coffee, tea, and cookies are available everywhere and anytime during your stay. We highly recommend the Old Manse Inn when you visit the Cape."

View on Google"I could not recommend Old Manse Inn more - I've never stayed somewhere with this level of attention to detail and personalisation to every single guest. Charlie and Brian were the ultimate hosts, making our entire stay feel like we were coming home at the end of every day. Breakfast was amazing, there were plenty of amenities, food, and snacks available at all hours, and they fostered a lovely community amongst their guests. Will be returning and recommending to anyone I know for a stay on Cape Cod!!"
