“Wonderful Weekend Getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW

My husband and I just returned home from visiting the Cape. We had a fantastic stay at the inn, we stayed in the beautifully decorated Herman Melville room. The room was the perfect size for a couple and was very comfortable. The breakfasts were great, starting with a fruit course, homemade breads, granola/yogurt and a hearty main course. In the... More

“Wonderful wedding and honeymoon!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 June 2013 via mobile

It was a beautiful place to get married and stay for our honeymoon. The breakfasts were delicious. We got the elopement package. The package was awesome because it cut down on our stress level because a lot of the planning was already done for us. We are coming back next year for our 1 year anniversary.

Highly recommend, and the easy walking distance to... More

“Perfect Mother's Day Get Away!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2013

I took my mom and daughter to the Palmer House Inn for Mother's Day weekend and we could not have found a more perfect place to feel pampered. Our rooms (Walt Whitman and Samuel Langhorne) were beautifully appointed, with thick fluffy robes in the closet to slip on, and a welcome note with goodies to greet us. Turndown service, bedtime...

“Elegant Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2013

Our most recent visit to the Palmer House Inn was our best yet! Pat and Bill O'Connell, both seasoned innkeepers, are sticklers for detail. As always, our room was immaculate, the 800 point sheets were luxurious, and the breakfasts were imaginative, generous and tastefully served. On this visit, we stayed in the "Penthouse" on the Inn's third floor. We like... More

“A real gem in Falmouth”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2013

I recently had the chance to visit Falmouth, MA. What a lovely town. While many may not think of Falmouth as the ideal Cape Cod destination, I found Falmouth Village absolutely captivating. Great shops and great restaurants! It's all walking distance from the Palmer House Inn too. The first thing I saw was the beautiful pink May Day basked hanging... More

We just returned from our second stay at The Palmer House Inn and found it to be as pleasant as the first. Exceptionally clean, with many thoughtful guest amenities- such as the basket filled with Cape Cod chocolates and local potato chips in our room.
