Captains House had everything we needed for a quick overnight. We stayed in the spacious Lady Hope room, which was comfortable, well appointed and had a renovated, modern bathroom.

We slept comfortably at the quiet inn, then enjoyed a hearty breakfast in the sunny breakfast room. The location...See More

We absolutely love staying at the Captain’s House Inn. It feels like a private retreat, but then is close to downtown Chatham. The staff go above and beyond in making you feel welcome, and we love the rooms, the grounds, and all that is included (an excellent breakfast, tea and biscuits in the afternoon, port and cookies at night). We can’t wait to stay here again!
- Matthew Scult
Awesome rooms with a lovely old world feel to them. It is a nice estate with lawns to relax on and a very nice breakfast that is included. There are great facilities for the beach offered (parasol, chairs) and the location is enviable. Very happy with our stay and would stay again when we are in the neighbourhood.
