"Feels like home - if home is a sprawling manor on the cape. Well appointed yet quaint and cozy rooms. Delicious food. Understated impeccable service. Views and setting beyond the imagination. Was here for a wedding so did not get a chance to try out the spa, tennis, golf... Can't wait to return for a longer stay!"

Real reviews from guests
"Chatham Bars Inn is one of those venues that never has to prove itself. It carries its reputation with ease — historical, coastal, and deeply rooted in the kind of Cape Cod beauty people travel for.

"We went for lunch at their Veranda Restaurant. While the hummus in the Crudite was amazing..seriously, the veggies included a rotted pepper and a molding cauliflower . The pizzas are huge and delicious. Great crust. We had the Pear and Honey and the Margarita. The Tomato salad was great! While a good meal, for the price paid; the veggies in the Crudite should be fresh and crisp."
"My kids, wife and I all love it here--what's not to love. The pool area and all the activities for the kids are fabulous. The flowers, landscape and views are absolutely breathtaking.

Service here is incredible, from the preppy young valets, to..."
