When you want to experience Cape Cod’s history, culture, and beautiful scenery while getting pampered and relaxing, you should stay at Candleberry Inn. Our Cape Cod bed and breakfast is the perfect place to call home during your getaway, and here are eight reasons why.
1. We’re Rated the No. 1 Bed and Breakfast in the Country
You know that you can trust Candleberry Inn to be your Cape Cod bed and breakfast because Tripadvisor ranked us No. 1 in the United States in 2022. Also, the site ranked us No. 2 in the world for bed and breakfasts.
On top of that, we’ve earned high praise from other travel magazines and guides — Yankee Magazine, Tour New England, New England Today, and Frommers Guidebooks.
Beyond our proximity to Cape attractions, they have admiration for the regal character of our 1780-90 Georgian Federal-style home, which is on the National Registry of Historic Places.
Magazines and travel sites mention our natural knack for outstanding hospitality, cooking, and attention to detail as well. We have a passion and enthusiasm for being full-time innkeepers, and we share interests in antiques and historic buildings.
2. Our Rooms & Suites Are Simple But Luxurious
At Candleberry Inn, our classic and traditional design comes through in a simple yet luxurious way. Our Main House has six rooms, while our Carriage House has three rooms. There’s a suite in each house — one with a private patio, and the other with a separate sitting room.
And, two rooms have wood-burning fireplaces, while two others have gas fireplaces. So no matter who you’re traveling with, we have Cape Cod bed and breakfast accommodations that are well-suited to your needs.
All of our rooms get the same attention to detail with next-level service. They feature queen and king-size beds covered in 600-thread-count sheets, which we iron before putting on the beds. We also provide Matouk duvets and blankets, as well as extra pillows. Of course, we offer daily housekeeping services too.
To make your stay even more comfortable, our houses are equipped with individual split cooling and heating systems. This means that you can adjust the temperature in your room for your comfort.
3. We’ve Upgraded Everything in Our Bathrooms
In 2021, we completed a comprehensive overhaul of the Candleberry Inn bathrooms. Our goal was to provide a new level of comfort and luxury, enhancing your getaway on the Cape. Each room and suite has a private bathroom with premium materials, and we’ve made them more functional and spacious.
The guest room bathrooms feature showers, while the Beach Rose Room and suites have showers and elegant tubs. No matter which room you choose, you can expect enhanced lighting and upgraded fittings and fixtures with tile and stone floors, stone vanity counters, and ceramic tile showers.
We encourage you to use our Malin + Goetz bath and skin products — shampoo, soap, etc. — plush Turkish towels, complimentary bath slippers, and embroidered Frette waffle kimono cotton robes. All of these items create an indulgent bath-time experience and leave you feeling refreshed for your Cape adventures.
4. You Get a Gourmet, Multicourse Breakfast Daily
When you choose Candleberry Inn as your home base for a Cape Cod getaway, you can expect a gourmet breakfast served every morning in our 1790s dining room or on our garden patio when the weather is nice.
And, we aren’t talking about any run-of-the-mill breakfast — we’re talking about multiple courses of freshly picked and made-from-scratch food.
Fresh Fruit
Innkeeper Angelo picks out the fruit course at various farm stands and markets, ensuring that it’s fresh and at peak ripeness for serving each morning. It’s the perfect way to start the first meal of the day.
Hot Main Course
Then, the hot main course will be either savory or sweet — alternating each day. A lot of the breakfast recipes that we use are influenced by our Italian heritage. And, again, we only use local, fresh ingredients for every dish. Everything is beautifully plated as well!
Breakfast Beverages
Our multicourse breakfast is no slouch when it comes to beverages either. Choose from gourmet coffee, cappuccino, espresso, tea, and fresh-squeezed juice. Plus, we can make you a signature Cape Cod beverage — the Brewster Sunrise.
Dietary Restrictions
We understand that some of our guests have food allergies, sensitivities, or other dietary needs. If that’s the case for you, we are more than happy to accommodate your specific needs. We only ask that you let us know any food restrictions that you have when you make your reservation.
5. We Keep a Stocked Guest Pantry for All-Day Food & Drink
In addition to starting your day right with a delicious breakfast, we like to keep you going with sweet treats in the afternoon. These made-from-scratch snacks are just the icing on top of a fun day exploring the Cape. We even have a self-service freezer filled with complimentary ice cream treats.
To go with your sweet treat, our Cape Cod bed and breakfast’s guest pantry has a coffee maker, self-serve espresso machine, and tea kettle. You can use these all day for pick-me-ups or just when you want a warm beverage.
You’re welcome to use the other small appliances, dishes, and more in the guest pantry as well — microwave, refrigerator, ice buckets, corkscrews, dishes, mugs, silverware, and glasses for beer, champagne, and wine.
You can enjoy your food and drink on our side lawn where we have some comfortable chairs facing historic Old King’s Highway. On the other hand, you can sit around a fire pit in Adirondack chairs.
6. You Can Enhance Your Getaway With Specials & Add-Ons
At Candleberry Inn, we aim to make every stay special. Whether you’re looking for a restful getaway, a chance to reconnect with your partner, or a unique place to celebrate an occasion, we can accommodate.
To amp up your stay, you can request a special package. Here’s a quick look at some of our package options:
- Best Birthday Getaway — Get a personalized cupcake for two, gourmet chocolate truffles, and a personalized greeting card.
- Anniversary Celebration Package — Find a chilled bottle of Prosecco upon arrival, a pair of etched souvenir wine glasses, and gourmet chocolates.

You don’t have to choose a package to enhance your stay at our Cape Cod bed and breakfast. We offer several individual add-ons and extras too — flowers, wine, gourmet chocolates and truffles, cupcakes, etched wine glasses, hand-embroidered Candleberry Inn tote bags, and hand-thrown mugs.
If you really want to pamper yourself, we can set up an in-room massage for you. You can get a 60-minute massage or a 90-minute massage with a facial for just yourself or for you and your partner.
7. We Put Convenience at Your Fingertips
While you’re staying at Candleberry Inn we want to make sure that you have all the conveniences of home and then some. As part of our extensive list of amenities, you have access to our high-speed internet and in-room clocks with USB ports for charging.
We offer luggage storage, printing for travel essentials, and other photocopying and printing services. We’re happy to provide same-day laundry service for an extra charge as well.
And since we’re within walking distance of the beach — the closest one is just a quarter-mile away — we have beach chairs, towels, and umbrellas so that you can make the most of your time in the sand. When you return, we have an outdoor shower to rinse away the sand.
When you want to take your Cape Cod adventure beyond the beach, we’re thrilled to offer recommendations for what to see and do. We can give you maps and directions, sample menus for restaurants, and access to our Touch Stay Guest Travel App. You can download our Vacation Guide too.
Additionally, we offer concierge and planning services. For example, we can help plan a whale watching tour or arrange a bicycle rental and delivery with a nearby shop.
8. Everything on Cape Cod is a Short Drive Away
When you’re choosing accommodations for any getaway, you don’t want to stay too far from all the attractions. Candleberry Inn is located in historic Brewster, which is at about the center of the Cape. Because of that, all of the best things to do on Cape Cod are within only about a one-hour drive.
Whether you want to take a scenic drive on Route 6A, embark on a sight-seeing tour, explore the Cape Cod Museum Trail, or shop the antique stores, you’re just a short drive from fun, excitement, romance, and more.
