“Romantic getaway!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 May 2012 NEW

We loved everything about our week-end stay at the Palmer House. The location is perfect - for walking to town or the shuttle bus for the Martha's Vineyard Ferry. The Inn is charming and clean. Our bed was the most comfortable bed ever and we loved the sheets, towels and bathrobes!! The food was delicious. We really enjoyed fresh iced... More

“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.

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

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

“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!
