“Superb - Clean - Private Beach - Walk to Shops, Beach & Restaurants”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2012

My wife and I stayed an entire week at the Dunscroft B&B. The location is absolutely perfect for shopping, beach and local restaurants, not to mention that this mid Cape location is handy to just about anything and everything the Cape offers. Alice has impeccable taste on the interior decor and on the immaculate grounds throughout her property. My darling... More

“Charming but steep-”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2012

he house was nice and clean. A price a bit steep. Rooms were small and badly in need of updating. The lines were very nice. Bathroom latch needs fixing (old fashioned home made latch with a hook- seriously ?). Window AC's and a REALLY small TV (you need binoculars to watch). No waste paper basket. For breakfast- the french toast... More

Thank you for your review and we do appreciate your compliments of "clean and charming".. We do take all reviews seriously, and where feasible and/or sensible to us, add to, change, or correct any problems mentioned by reviewers. In this instance, we feel this guest was expecting a large hotel or Resort vs. an 8-room B&B. I choose to refute... More

“Dunscroft Plus and Minus”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2012

Location near the beach is excellent; You can walk to the beach on the Atlantic, then under state law, you can walk along the beach up to the high tide mark from one inlet to the next one. The colonial-style house is extremely nice, the room was very nice, no complaints. There are places to sit and read on the... More

Being a member of various Inn Associations, we Innkeepers share our views on Guest Reviews. Sometimes we scratch our heads in wonderment. While we welcome constructive criticism, there are so many people with different expectations, different personalities, likes, and dislikes that many times the reviews contradict. What is pleasant to one guest may not be to another. What one finds... More

It was comfy and the bed was heaven with the luxury sheets and we slept peacefully. It was clean and by my standards that is a real comliment for I am a... More

“A wonderful stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2012

On arrival Alice set the tone with her charming and friendly welcome. Located a stone's throw from the beach down a quiet side street we enjoyed our three days so much that we extended for another day. The room was most pleasant. The public areas were comfortable and homely. The highlight of the days was breakfast; not just for the... More

We have a house in Maine, but my husband grew up spending summers on the Cape, so he insists we spend a couple of nights each summer on Cape Cod. We usually stay in Chatham, but are glad... More

“My wife and I had a wonderful experience at this bed & breakfast.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2012

Alice, the owner, was a pleasure from the moment we called for reservations through to our departure. The facilities were well maintained and clean. The location was just a block off the ocean with beach access. Alice makes a wonderful breakfast and the french toast is not to be missed. Within a couple of blocks are 2 great restaurants that...

“A Great House In A Great Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2012

The sitting areas in this home are wonderful. There are couches and chairs surrounded with books. Also there is a spacious sun porch for you to enjoy. However you won't want to sit too long because the ocean is waiting for you just down the lane or you can go the other way and visit some shops in Harwich Port.... More
