4 stars for the location of the Inn. Ocean view is priceless. 3 stars for the breakfast buffet. Decent breakfast sausages , home fries and fresh strawberries. No whipped cream for some reason. I wish the coffee was stronger. I would love to come back for dinner when it's open for the season. read more

Beautiful views at an historic inn. It looks like it was once a lighthouse as well. If you are looking for that classic "Cape Cod" experience this is it. Ocean views, salty breezes with loads of sunshine. A great place to unwind and relax. Nice restaurant and bar located on premises in the main building. The interior reminds me exactly of what any older inn near the ocean would be. The interior of the building is dark wood paneling with plenty of maritime decorations. There are many cottages and houses that can be rented. A nice pool, tennis courts and bikes to rent. West Dennis Beach is very close by. I would not recommend trying to swim at the inn. I have never seen a less inviting beach. They also have function rooms that may suit a wedding. The staff is super friendly. The food at the Inn was delicious. The cottages were clean and well kept. read more

Lighthouse Inn - Main Lighthouse Inn. - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - West Dennis, Massachusetts

Talk about nostalgia mixed with a true cape experience. Lighthouse inn may be known as a super popular wedding venue but it's more than that. ! Certain areas in cape cod have a warmth the second you walk through their doors and this is one of those areas. Lighthouse inn has a great menu and an amazing staff. Michelle the bartender is incredibly kind and accommodating. We came here with a bunch of kids and she was beyond helpful, splitting meals and virgin mudslides amongst them so we didn't have to waste food or money. She makes the absolute BEST pina colada and Frozé drinks. Spending an afternoon on the water in this cozy spot on a gorgeous sunny day with family is just something you cannot beat. read more

Lighthouse Inn - Pina colada - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - West Dennis, Massachusetts

What a view!!! We were here on a Tuesday so it wasn't that crowed. We were able to sit outside with a beautiful oceanfront view. A very cool gentleman was playing the piano, trumpet and singing in the lobby. I had a the special cocktail and it was delicious. A passion fruit, pineapple maker mark martini. The chef here actually makes real food. Not the normal fried cape cod stuff. We had the special Portuguese Kale soup and a salad and the vegan vegetable ravioli special with zucchini and marinara sauce. It was very good. I loved it. read more

Hotel part of our stay was fantastic, beach side cottage with plenty of outdoor furniture available. Pool, mini golf, and shuffle board a huge plus if you're not a fan of the ocean. Restaurant experience not the best. Service was very slow, multiple servers but no one paying attention to tables in need of drinks or condiments. Food slow to come out and was underwhelming given the price point. I would recommend going to town for dinner like Skippers. read more

We stopped in for a drink late afternoon on July 4th. The bar wasn't officially opened for 15 minutes but Michelle the bartender was so accommodating and took our orders (not sure the manager was too pleased though). She was so attentive to us the entire time we were there. We grew up spending summers in West Dennis and hardly ever visited Lighthouse Inn, but because of Michelle's hospitality, we will for sure be back!!!! Michelle is THE BEST!!!!!!! read more

Great weekend! Michelle was the best bartender! She gave such great service to us the whole weekend and was so fun! The view was beautiful.

Not my speed when it comes to accommodations, definitely wouldn't have chosen it for myself but it was the wedding location so when I'm Rome. Super old facility and not renovated or even kept well in my humble opinion. There was a good amount or hair that wasn't mine in the shower like it hadn't been cleaned well. Not my bag but enjoy! read more

This is classic Cape Cod aesthetic plus amazing food. I went on a Wednesday at 5:00 and had a wonderful seat on the lawn outside. The salmon dish on the menu was great, as was the special cocktail of the day, which had fresh watermelon. Highly recommend this spot. read more

I'd hate to blow their cover, but this place is a HIDDEN GEM! when you step foot into the main building you feel like you walked into a hallmark movie. Everyone on staff is so friendly and accommodating. The rooms are clean. Plenty to do for the kids. And the Clambake is one of a kind. Many thanks to Jon the GM, and the best bartender we've ever had, Michelle! The second we checked out, we booked our week for next year. Cant recommend enough, and can't wait to go back! read more

Appetizer was a piece of Flatbread with cheese and bacon bits. I've done the same in a toaster oven for a fraction of the cost. I ordered the NY strip, glazed broccoli Rabe, and mashed red potatoes. The strip was raw, as was the broccoli rabe. The mashed potatoes were half way to soup. ​​ I set it back and got the same steak back 2 minutes later, still blue in the center and the broccoli still raw. I was offered a new main and a free dessert, both of which I declined. Unspeakably lazy and slipshod, and for a dish they are charging 42$ for. read more

We had the most incredible time here for a friend's wedding last weekend! It was absolutely incredible and we loved every second of it. There are so many cute cottages for couples to stay in. The entire wedding party stayed in the houses. The rooms are all quaint. One of the first houses we stayed in had a beautiful balcony outlook. We loved the bedroom suite- it was very spacious and clean. The cottage itself is lovely and perfect for a summer wedding. The Cape is perfect from May to September. The food, drinks were fantastic. Loved spending the weekend here to celebrate the beautiful bride and groom. read more

Stayed at Lighthouse Inn for the last week of August. The place is old and feels it. We were in a Breezeway room which was clean & fairly comfortable. Two lounge chairs were ancient and sagged incredibly when you sat in them. Had to stuff folded beach towels under the cushion to avoid back strain. Had a little problem with spiders (is 4 in a week including 1 in the bed too many ?). Doors squeaked and the bathroom door wouldn't close it was so warped. Front door required a kick to open. Walls were so thin we could hear every word from the neighboring rooms. The pool area is very nice, has a decent snack / cocktail bar. The miniature golf is a joke, in terrible condition. There was a very nice tennis court we didn't use. Shuffleboard was quaint but couldn't find the supplies. No fault of the Inn, but the beach was horrifying. Covered with black, stinky, rotting seaweed and dead horseshoe crabs. Water was also full of seaweed. The smell was overwhelming and even penetrated into the rooms. The staff was very nice and very helpful. Most new our names within a couple days. Saw from some Trip Advisor reviews that the beach condition is common in the Dennis area. Even some of the staff confirmed it. Given that, would not return. Also, the Dennis area is REALLY CROWDED AND TOURISTY ! Sorry Lighthouse Inn. For almost $4k for a week, expected more. read more

enjoyed lunch on the back deck. the food was very good, the location prime. the server was attentive and the hostess was pleasant and accommodating. the wine list was small but there were a few gems at SUPER reasonable prices. you're right on the water so our daughter was able to go down and play in the sand while we finished up our bottle of wine. a win/win. looking forward to going back during our summer vacation. read more

We've been going to West Dennis beach since 2013 every year in August. We had always wondered what this place was like. I got excellent pricing during cyber Monday in 2020. We booked our usual week for the Cape. We had no idea what to expect. Zero stars. So first things first, I am disabled, and except for the dining room entry everything is stairs. So. Many. Stairs. 100 stars. All the staff were helpful and pleasant. I love that not only did the name tags have their names, but like cruise ships, they had their hometowns on them. The room was a perfect size for two people. We had a king bed, that was sunk in the middle. It took me two nights to realize that, and to sleep with an extra pillow under my hip. I'm healing well now, thank you. It was clean, and appropriately appointed. The only thing was missing was a microwave, and truth be told, I didn't really miss it. They have a door stopper for the bathroom door so it doesn't slam into the sink, my fat ass wasn't able to get past it without pushing it a little further. Every shower you for the shower curtain that was sticking to you. Are they ever give you four bath towels, we just got to. I need one for my hair and my body. And he needs one. An extra one never hurts.However, we did ask for an extra got it. This next part is going to be a one star issue. The stench, because of the jetties, and the accumulating seaweed, was horrendous, and it invaded the room via air conditioners. They had a young man raking the beach, but he was pushing the seaweed back into the ocean. And, if you love the beach, you know this is a bad thing! Five stars here!! The breakfast buffet was the best in town for the price. The beach stench was not prevalent in this area, so be assured that you can eat with confidence. So many choices, healthy and not. Food was fresh and you could order items on a limited menu in addition to the standard buffet fare. Hot and cold and plenty of juice choices. There was indoor and outdoor seating beachside. Ah-mazing. Inside is not air conditioned (it's a historic venue after all) but the breeze offered beautiful relief for hot/humid days. We had the buffet most mornings during our stay. We also had lunch there one day. We had the specials, Caprese Chicken sandwich with fries and BBQ Chicken Quesadilla. FUCK YEAH! Good. Unfortunately, we had to leave our vacation early due to a family emergency. Families, am I right? They reimbursed us for a one night stay. Honestly, that was a lot more than I expected.This was very appreciated! It's definitely a place geared towards families with children (dislike for me) but over all, it was pretty nice!! I kid you not, the staff really did make it nice. read more

The Lighthouse Inn far exceeded our expectations for my son and daughter in law's dream wedding! We had 85 guests, many of which stayed on site in either the rooms at the Inn or in the darling cottages on the property. From planning to execution, the staff lead by Carri, Bill and Joe made the day perfect in every way. Joe and staff actually picked rose petals on the property for the flower girls baskets when the florist forgot them, 10 minutes before the ceremony! Over and above also when it came to quality of service. Professional, friendly and funny staff who helped take photos, tie flower girls ribbons and add humor to our day! The food was amazing from the rehearsal dinner to the actual wedding. Appetizers and cocktails were served throughout. The setting was STUNNING and the weather was PERFECT for their seaside, magical celebration. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 5+ STARS! read more

We got our of our car to a horrible smell and almost left, but we carried on as sometimes the ocean smells, right? We were greeted and seated right away and our waitress was wonderful. We ordered clam chowder that was hot and tasty. When we got our dinner it was rather disappointing. My husband had a salad with a dozen shrimp that were grilled and tasteless and his salad had sour fruit. I ordered a southwest salad with lobster on top. The lobster for 25 dollars was filled with shells and maybe a 1/4 cup? We paid 109 and then added a tip as our waitress was a college kid and not responsible. We will prob not recommend this place or eat here again . read more

We stayed for several nights midweek for a short family getaway. While the Cape pricing is expected to be inflated in the summer, I was left dissapointed - feeling that we paId a lot for what we received. We stayed in the Carriage House, which is on the edge of the property. The rooms were very clean, if small. Of the two room suite, the second room had no a/c or fan, which left it stuffy, even with the windows open. The bathroom needed updating but was servicable. Amenities were a tiny bottle of lotion, bar soap, and one tiny bottle of combination shampoo/conditioner. After two nights in the soft uncomfortable bed, we opted to drive home early. Of the private beach, two of the three sections were nearly unusable, being filled with several layers of decaying seaweed. At high tide it was...ok, but at low tide it was not great. (The odor was definitely offputting when trying to eat.) It was a bright spot to have access to a beach lounge chair and umbrella. The teens liked being able to roam the property, but they ran out of things to do pretty quickly. We had the best time at the firepit by the beach, enjoying cocktails and meeting other guests. We walked down the road to the nearby public beach each night - a perfect dusk stroll. The staff, particularly at the restaurant during breakfast and lunch were young and somewhat disorganized. Both mornings we had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated, because the staff was too busy to seat guests. The young hostess was a bit brusque and unwelcoming, but we chalked that up to her inexperience and perhaps being short staffed. Overall, the property seems good for families with young children (sheltered beach, playground and pool), but lacked the modern amenities and level of service you would expect for the price. We'll take pass on returning. read more

This is a much overdue "atta-girl/boy" for the LHI. We (wife Sandy, nine grandchildren, three of our kids and close adults) celebrated my 80th at the Inn this past summer, for two days. Could have gone lots of places but this place is very close to me and chose it. Worked there beginning 60 years ago for 5 summers total and so know it, but didn't know what to expect after all that time. Suffice to say "over the top" in terms of location, service, food, friendliness, everything one would want. Hard to beat but even better than those 60 years ago-thank you Greg Stone and all your sibblings and their life companions and families. Quite a story-the Inn has been in the Stone family for 80+ years now and as I said, even better than before. Right on the ocean, safe and secure so the young ones can run unattended-highly, highly recommend it. Jack MacPhail, Summers of '63-'65 and '69/70". read more

Not impressed. The room was incredibly musty, could not get the smell out. Over priced, not updated.

My sister got married at the Lighthouse Inn this weekend and we absolutely loved it. First off, it's straight out of a movie - very New England summer resort (think Dirty Dancing) for those of us who aren't local to the area. The ambiance is slightly vintage, rustic, comfortable, with classic upscale touches and all the accommodations you need. The beach area was exactly what we were looking for and made a great background for the ceremony. Bill helped my sister coordinate everything and was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They were so accommodating on a very short schedule of planning. We are so grateful for him! Bridget was the attendant who served our dinner and drinks after the wedding and we all adored her. She was so kind, friendly, fun, personable, and helpful with the elderly guests that were part of our group. We had some guests in cabins and others in the rooms. If you're getting a cabin, be aware that the AC might not be as strong as you'd like - then again we were here during a heatwave so I'm sure on a normal MA summer day, it would be plenty. Thanks for the memories, Lighthouse Inn! read more

I attended a Cape Cod Green Drinks reception. The sponsor was Brown to Green Solar. The snack buffet was staggering. I tried a cranberry fritter which was tasty. I did not have a drink as it was cash bar and sad to say, I had no cash. The setting is very rustic and basic. Sort of like The Catskills on Cape Cod? It's typical old Cape Cod. I did check out the massive solar panels on the roof. I went to support Cape Cod Green Drinks http://www.greendrinks.org/MA/Cape%20Cod read more

I grew up at the Lighthouse Inn. It was the highlight of my summer every year. I made so many friends over the years. I loved this place. But over the years the staff grew to dislike me, my family, and the other famlies we have gone with. The place started to go down hill very fast. They got rid of there attractions and it just wasn't as fun anymore for any of us. Especially the fact that we weren't treated well at all. The staff complaintEd about us lot of times. We didn't do anything wrong we were very mistreated and didn't feel valued as we should have because we spent a lot of money. They said we weren't welcomed back next year after 9 years of being there, with no explanation they told us not to come back. Which is probably for the better anyways because this place is a mess now with disrespectful staff who dislike kids. I would never tell anyone to stay here. read more

This will forever be our vacation spot. The breakfast by the water every morning was amazing. The private beach was perfect. We didn't get a chance to use the pool or other amenities but they looked amazing. Our room was cleaned spotless every day. This place is incredible. Oh and at night, go sit by the water and look at the lighthouse... you'll feel you are in a movie! Special thanks to the night shift manager that booked us.... read more

Lighthouse Inn - View from breakfast. - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - West Dennis, Massachusetts

Solid 4 stars. At first, I thought it was overpriced, but the place really grew on me. The campus is like a little village with its own private beach, including breakwaters, which make the Lighthouse beach calmer than the public beach next door -- which is a nice plus for families with young kids. They have a nice outdoor pool with tableside service; a cute little mini golf area; lawn games; small playground; beach fire pit; and game room with ping pong (25 cents per ball), air hockey ($0.75/game), pool table ($1.00/game), and board games. Room was a bit dated and A/C did not allow for a specific temp (it's just a knob on the unit). Also no USB ports in the room, which is odd in 2023, so bring a power cube. Fortunately our room did have lots of outlets to make up for it. Pretty small TV in the room, but it did include a bigger-than-average mini fridge as well as a small microwave. Those few negatives are what kept me from giving it 5 stars, but if I could give 4.5 or even 4.75, I probably would for one major bonus that virtually no other places gives - a complimentary hot American breakfast every morning. The buffet includes 6 juices; cereal; fruit; scrambled eggs; french toast; waffles; sausage; and homefries. If you want eggs (any style), hash, bacon, oatmeal, or toast, all you have to do is ask and they'll bring it from the kitchen - no additional charge. A breakfast like that would cost me $100/day for my family. They also send housekeeping to your room while you're at breakfast, which is brilliant. They usually feature 1 or 2 daily activities, which is a nice addition. While we where there, they had Gil Newton (a retired environmental & marine science teacher) give an "Ocean Lab" presentation out on the beach, which was really quite interesting to learn about many of the different types of sea life in the area. They also had an amateur magician one night, as well as a great piano player outside of the dining room. As others have said, it's definitely dated, and I have to agree, but I also think it's part of the charm, and I would definitely come back. My kids loved it. read more

This place is a wonderful bit of the Cape without honky tonk or traffic. The Inn is lovely in every way. We enjoyed a private cottage - one bedroom, living room, bath - 2 TVS and a fireplace - should you visit in September. A deck in front with two Adirondack chairs and a table to enjoy a relaxing read and coffee. You have the ocean, the pool. Most cottages, including ours, full ocean view. Lovely dining at the Waterfront - including music by the "Clam Hicks", one of whom, Greg, is the owner. Plays a great guitar!! Literally 3 minutes away - fabulous restaurants in addition to The Waterfront, such as the Oyster Company, Summer Shanty. I will be back in another month - it is an oasis! Enjoy true peace and the beauty of the ocean and your new "best friends " at The Lighthouse Inn. read more

Driving into the property to dine at this restaurant was more inviting then the actual restaurant itself. We sat down finally at a table and overlooked this beautiful ocean and sunset. Someone finally came over and asked us if we wanted to drink my friend got a pina colada which came out with brown rotted pineapple on top of the glass. We ordered a shrimp cocktail they came to the table and it was gray and watery. We asked if they were fresh and she said yes and they definitely were frozen. We got in a cup of clam chowder and we asked her if with made on the premises and she said no they buy it. My husband looked at me and said we're out of here. Just for a drink and two shrimp cocktail with $65. Can't really review any of the other food except for the fact that when it came out passing by I knew it wasn't going to be good the fish smell like ammonia. If you want to go see a pretty sunset and have a drink okay but I would recommend do not eat there very expensive prices. Take your money elsewhere. They need a new executive chef somebody who knows what they're doing!!! read more

Went to have lunch. Sat for 20 minutes. Servers around not one came up to the table to take an order. Finally got up to leave. On way out we approached the front desk to explain what happened. They didn't care, were unapologetic about what occurred and didn't seem to mind that they lost a restaurant guest. read more

Our family had a wonderful experience at the lighthouse inn restaurant for my husband's birthday. We were looking for outdoor seating because of covid, not only were we seated outside we were on the grass in a lovely umbrella table right next to their private beach.

Okay now listen! Don't go for dinner and certainly do NOT eat inside. My friends and I call it Dirty Dancing because it reminds us of the old resorts of the 50-60's. BUT, please DO sit on the deck after a day at WestDennis Beach. Order a drink and an appetizer. The margaritas and the sangria is very good. Some of the other specialty drinks are also quite good. The bruschetta is served a little differently, but it tastes good. They have no problem with you splitting anything. The wait staff is very friendly. So to recap: 1) sit outside. 2) drink alcohol. 3) only order appetizers. Where else can you go and sit in your bathing suit coverup and a baseball cap! read more

Service was fine. Things took a while and she kept saying she would be right back with something then we would see her passing us multiple times without our drinks/bread/etc. Chicken Caesar was good, i had a seafood pasta dish and the seafood was cooked perfectly but the pasta was undercooked and the sauce tasted burnt. Ambiance saved the day, and for that we would return. Probably just for apps and drinks! read more

The Lighthouse Inn did a fabulous job for us at our 17th annual family reunion this past weekend. We were all a little nervous because of Covid, but the staff was very consistent with masks and other protocols and we were able to be outside the entire time. We are always impressed by the consistency of the people that work there and how much they care about the guest experience.This year they went above and beyond by preparing some of the striper that we caught on a charter. This resulted which in several teens eating fish who had previously been unwilling to try eating fish. Their strawberry shortcake is superb and we always order the salmon pesto. We missed the Buffay breakfast and specialty items like lobster omelette and fish for breakfast, but we know that it was important because of Covid. read more
