“Old world Charm”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Myself and boyfriend stayed here for 2 nights in November 2008. Wanted a few days away from Boston to explore the cape and this was a great place to stay. Typical New England house full of history and charm. Beakfast consisted of delicious fresh baked scones nd muffins, fruit, cereal anything we could want really! Tom would chat with us during this and offered loads of advice on places to go and see, where to eat etc. Was a lovely stay and would recommend to anyone wanting to experience good old fashioned hospitality.


We stayed here for two nights with another couple in mid september, once the rush of the season had past. The house is a quaint, typical New England home, lots of wooden furniture, books and nik-naks, quilted comforters and a lovely comfortable bed. The hosts, Tom and Rita, did everything they could to make us welcome and sat and chatted with us over breakfast and gave us some good tips for exploring cape cod. I would highly recommend this place for a quiet, chilled break.

“Quaint Old world charm with attentive hosts”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2010

We stayed here for two nights with another couple in mid september, once the rush of the season had past. The house is a quaint, typical New England home, lots of wooden furniture, books and nik-naks, quilted comforters and a lovely comfortable bed. The hosts, Tom and Rita, did everything they could to make us welcome and sat and chatted with us over breakfast and gave us some good tips for exploring cape cod. I would highly recommend this place for a quiet, chilled break. If you want modern and clinical and posh, I would suggest this place is not for you, but if it's comfortable, relaxed and quaint you're looking for at a reasonable price for the Cape then you won't find much better than this lovely b and b. We booked through Bed and Breakfast Cape Cod who were also really helpful. Thanks for a lovely time!

“Cozy, convenient, clean - great hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 June 2010

My husband and I came from out of state for a wedding just outside Boston and decided to make a long weekend of it to enjoy the Cape. We were looking for a place to stay that would be easily accesible to the Cape and Boston, clean, and yet not too expensive. We stumbled upon the Holly House as we were looking through reviews on the internet. While there weren't many reviews, all the reviews had said it was wonderful. We decided to take a chance and were glad we did. Tom and Rita couldn't have been nicer. They were friendly without being intrusive. The room was cozy, relatively large, clean and airy. The bed was really comfortable. Breakfast always had something homemade and tasty. If I had to find something to fault, it was that even if we did have our own large private bath(it was roughly the size of the bedroom) , it was not en suite and the shower was a little old (worked fine). But these were minor things - we thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would go back without hesitation.
