Hosts are lovely and helpful while not intrusive. Room is nicely appointed with comfortable king bed with small but adequate bath and shower. Old house is very quaint. Use of refrigerator helpful. No food service but coffee, tea, fruit and homemade cookies make it homey. Lovely early Spring get away in convenient location to shops, restaurants, short drive to Nauset Beach.!

This is a charming inn a quarter millenium old. Our room was clean and updated and completely comfortable with perfectly up to date private bathroom. And we are picky! The innkeepers were cheerful and helpful but gave you space and privacy. It was quiet and classy and in a great location in East Orleans which is the best part of the Cape.

Rich and Jo were most welcoming. Great coffee, fabulous breakfast. The property was partially built in 1770 and is in great condition considering it’s age. A wonderful Cape Cod experience.

Beautiful and full character
Jo and Richard were amazing hosts, So kind and helpful! The Inn was beautiful and full of character. Our room was so clean and spacious. Breakfast was delicious everyday! They both go above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect! We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary while in the Cape and had a wonderful time. The Inn is conveniently located near restaurants, shopping and beaches. We will definitely stay there again!

It is an old 18th Century property with 8 rooms and Rich and Jo also live their, so not all rooms are huge, but many are and all are adequate for a couple looking for a few nights on the Cape. Being in Orleans it is central for exploring north and south, and Rich was a font of knowledge with suggestions and recommendations to visist and eat out. The lounge has Tea and coffee facilities and these are also on the first floor landing along with a shared fridge. Breakfast is fruit, yoghurt and granola followed by a different hot plate each day prepared by Jo. There is a lovey deli shop opposite with an abundance of fresh local produce to buy for lunch. Beaches are a 5 minute drive. We would go back here in an instant and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, friendly, homely B&B on the Cape. Great Job and perfect Hosts Richa dn Jo. Tim and Karen.

Charming Inn
Jo and Richard are the most incredible hosts! The energy at the Inn is so incredible starting with the outdoor seating area at the entrance. You can sit and watch the street activity, listen to the wind blow through the trees, sip a glass of wine while making new friends or enjoy a delicious morning breakfast. The rooms are very comfortable and well decorated. Coffee, tea and water are available all day. It's conveniently located across the street from an incredible market with wine, great eats and a bakery with pastries that looked incredibly delicious. We had a delightful stay and will definitely return. Jo and Richard are so welcoming and they genuinely care about their guests. It's more of a guest experience rather than an inn experience.

Very pleasant.. but the rooms are small, understandably, in this classic historic venue. Price doesn't quite coincide with the facility, but that's because it's on Cape Cod!

Beautiful Inn. Great location. The host, Richard, was very helpful with local activities, sightseeing and restaraunt recommendations Breakfast was delicious! One thing we would ask for next time is a room in the back, we were in the front and there was a lot of noise from the cars going past.
Response from Richard on Apr 25, 2018
Thank you for your response and kind comments, they are always appreciated. We are on Main Street and although set back you can, on occasion, hear the traffic. Hopefully you'll spend time with us again and we'll ensure you are accommodated with a room to the back.

A cozy home environment.
So I am giving this place 5 stars. If I could give them 4.5 I would. Only reason would be I'd like to see the breakfast plan for the menu. Then I know if I need to get out or I can eat there. The food was fantastic though! They do one cooked entree and then offer home made yogurt, granola, and fruit that is just presented well. Breakfast is 830-930 It is in a peaceful neighborhood on a little main street. The building feels a tad on the cramped side and may be inconvenient to those who are handicapped, but for a B and B being run out of this home it feels very cozy and at home. It is near quite a few good food places and was well worth the price. Honestly I think next time I may just go to Orleans for beaches and such. Ptown was not worth the hike. It is close by though. The owners are very nice and were willing to go out of their way to help their guests move luggage, talk to them or give advice on local attractions. Thank you Richard and Jo for a good vacation!

Review of the Parsonage Inn
My wife and I stayed here early November 2015. We are Canadian and we were looking for a quiet place to stay while visiting Cape Cod. We were not disappointed. The room was outstanding as was the breakfast.. Richard and Jo-Ann were exceptional hosts. They were helpful in giving us tips on what to see during our short stay.We will definitely stay at the Inn again on our next trip to the Cape.

The hosts Richard and Jo could not do enough for us. The location was fantastic - go that way 5 mins for the beach sunset - go that way for sunrise. Breakfast was gorgeous. In short - not to be missed - the whole thing.
