“Great location & breakfasts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2012

Went over a weekend during the off season. Very close to everything in Falmouth and just a 10 minute walk to the Woods Hole Ferry shuttle bus. The breakfasts were very good and make sure to get the Cape Cod Sunrise at least once. More

Dear Joseph M. It is fun to host folks like you. We are happy that you enjoyed the "sunrise". It is such a simple little treat that makes guests smile first thing in the morning. That is our business, helping guests have a good nights sleep and providing them with a pleasant breakfast experience. If we have accomplished those two... More

“Perfect Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2012

We stayed at the Palmer House Inn for a weekend getaway. It was our first trip to Falmouth and definitely not our last. We most enjoyed the convenient location to downtown Falmouth. It was so nice to be able to walk a short distance to restaurants and shops. The room was immaculate and comfortable. We also enjoyed the afternoon tea... More

Dear Kate C, Thank you for the terrific review. Also, thank you for letting us know about the bright lights on the porch disturbing your rest. We will look into replacing those blinds with more opaque ones. We have to keep the lights burning all night so that late arrivals will be able to see their way. We hope that... More

“A Wonderful, Romantic Getaway”

We found this Inn through an Internet search and validated visitor ratings on TripAdvisor before booking. We were very impressed! The Palmer House Inn is an exceptional facility with clean comfortable rooms, very nice grounds/location, delicious breakfasts (the banana nut pancakes are to die for!) and helpful staff.

“Wonderful Inn!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2012

We stayed at the Palmer Inn for our 1st Anniversary, and most recently, our 15th. Once again, it was charming, cozy and personal. Inn Keepers Bill & Pat even left us a bottle of champagne at turn down accompanied by a sweet chocolate treat. Breakfast was delicious the next morning as well! A quiet little romantic getaway! Lovely! More

This is our 3rd stay at the Palmer House. We stay at the small cottage in the back. They let us bring our dogs! My sister and I brought our 2 nieces for a special auntie/niece weekend.

“Wonderful weekend at the Palmer House, Falmouth”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 March 2012

My wife and I spend a wonderful couple of nights at the Palmer House Inn in February. Since virtually no one else was there, we were able to see most of the rooms, just to look around, and the pictures on the Internet do not really do them justice. Bill & Pat were very accomodating and full of knowledge about... More
