I picked this b&b becuase it was #1 rated on Tripadvisor. I am glad I trusted you guys becuase our stay could only have been better if we had more than one sunny day. I guess early may comes with the risk of clouds and no reson for swim suits.
We booked with ease on their website. We had immediate confirmation AND a list of recommended restaurants with personal reviews and offer to make reservations for us. SOOOO great! I picked one for our first night and it was as great as they said.
We stayed in room #5, which has it's own private entrance. Not the greatest view from the back window, but its own fireplace. You have not lived until you've cosied up to your sweetheart in bed at this B&B with a fire going. (Warning, I will probably ramble, but I am trying to fit all of my glowing review in). We arrived and Paula gave us the full orientation of the place and our room. They had a small fridge with refreshments in the main house (free for those of us used to avoiding hotel minibars like the plague), fruits, snacks and homemade brownies (Gratis!). They have a library of information on chatham and cape cod in the main house for help in planning your activities and Then she showed us our room which was just lovely. They have HD flatscreen TV's in the room and TONS of DVD's in the main house for you to borrow. (recent releases and everything)...this came in handy on the cold nights.
The breakfasts we enjoyed were phenomenal! So creative and yummy. Every morning they would ask about our previous day and what we had planned for the day and offered suggestions and offered to call to make sure the activities were not cancelled. They made sure everyone at the hotel was happy and had plans for the day. Unbelievable service. I would definitely recommend this to my friends. Perfection. The only problem is I had a new standard to which I applied to my boston hotel that I stayed in after.... there is no comparison. ;-(

We tried booking the Carriage House Inn on the 22nd April, filled in the online form but heard nothing back.
Emailed them on the 25th and the 26th asking about the booking but still heard nothing back.
I work away from home so my email on the 26th was that I'd contact them on my return about the booking.
Whilst I was away we received an email on the 27th April asking us if we'd received the confirmation they'd sent us (when?).
On my return I replied saying we hadn't and that, whilst I was away, my wife had booked elsewhere (as she was worried that we were leaving it a bit late).
That cost me $20 as an "administration fee"!
I'm sure all the other reviews below are correct about how nice this b&b is once you get there and to be fair to them it does say on the website that a cancellation will cost you $20.
It did irritate me though... we heard nothing from them and then, when I said we'd booked elsewhere they said I ought to check my email as they had replied three times!
That irritated me further, my email account is working fine.
If you don't receive an email that generally means it hasn't been sent...
I know, I know... it's only $20 but it annoyed me!

We had a lovely 2 night stay at the Carriage House which was the perfect antidote to our busy visit to New York. The Inn is beautiful and was full of little touches such as complimentary soft drinks & home made goodies and a sound machine in the bedroom providing relaxing ocean sounds.

The hosts Paula and Tim are extremely friendly, they recommended and booked two excellent restaurants on our behalf and, best of all, encouraged us to take a whale watching trip which turned out to be the highlight of our whole stay.

If you are looking for quality accomodation with good amenities and great breakfast in a central Cape Cod location, look no further than here.
