Guest reviews
What guests are saying about The Old Harbor Inn.
"Our annual visit to Chatham wouldn’t be complete without a stay at The Old Harbor Inn. Its central location, within walking distance to both town and the beaches, is perfect. We’re always welcomed back like family, and the hospitality never disappoints. George and Maroni are exceptional team members—always attentive, gracious, and ready with a warm welcome, delicious breakfasts, and afternoon treats. Judy and Ray, the owners, are consistently available to share their wealth of local knowledge on hikes, beaches, restaurants, and more. The Old Harbor Inn truly sets the standard for comfort and hospitality. We can’t wait to return next year!"

Judy was so personable. Homemade pastries daily. The convenience to downtown Chatham. I would rate it among the best in the country. The cleanliness! If going to Cape Cod, you are the best B&B. Maroni, I am sorry I forgot your name. It just came to me. You were WONDERFUL!!! Enjoy your time off. See you next year. Oh, Judy, I love your policies, no pets and no children under 12. That is what caused me to choose you over Chatham Inn Relais & Chateaux."

We made reservations five years ago, but the pandemic led to cancelled plans and a promised future stay. Five years went by and we never followed through, and for several years, honestly forgot about our Cape trip. Neither myself or my husband could find a record of a promised voucher, but one email (and approximately one hour later) to the staff, we confirmed that we still had an active voucher and would be able to to use it - now that’s impressive recording keeping! Judy (one of the owners) and her staff were all incredibly kind. From dinner recommendations, to making sure we had a breakfast to-go for our early morning trip to the airport, we felt welcomed and at home. The personal touches of homemade baked treats, an endless coffee/tea bar, and room ambience helped created a lovely stay on the Cape. We even met a couple who mentioned this was their seventh stay at Old Harbor, and would be planning their eighth soon! The Old Harbor Inn is a true gem, and is a wonderful place to stay on the Cape. While I’m sure the summer months are busy (just like all businesses on the Cape), Old Harbor was just as picturesque and lovely in the “off” season. We look forward to visiting again! Thank you everyone for making our stay so special!"
