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

Stopped by for a quick drink and was not disappointed! Delicious mudslide and great service. Did not eat there but food looked great. Outdoor seating right by the ocean. Kid friendly as well. read more

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

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

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

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. View was beautiful especially as the sun began to set. They had a range of menu options to please everyone and service was great. Couldn't have been more pleased, highly recommend. read more

My husband and I had dinner here. We sat out near the ocean ... a bit chilly and breezy but a beautiful view.had dinner here right on the ocean. Friendly service. My entree was delicious ... I had the baked stuffed haddock. I enjoyed my sides as well. The cornbread was excellent. read more

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

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

My second stay at the inn. Spectacular location, beautiful pool and tastefully decorated rooms. Delicious hot breakfast served daily with so many healthy options. Well staffed with friendly employees and so many lovely conversations. Impeccably clean. Already booked for next year. Highly recommend! 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

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

Beautiful location and tasty dinner here at the Lighthouse Inn. We had a nice evening dinner down on the waterfront where we enjoyed the stuffed haddock and chicken Caesar salad. Yummy! I highly recommend this restaurant for cute date nights or whatever your fancy may be. read more

We had a fabulous dinner at the lighthouse Inn tonight. The hostess was amazing, so organized to seat a party of 12! Gilbert our waiter was terrific! read more

My son was married here this past week-end and it was amazing. The view behind were they stood was ocean perfect. It is such a quintessential New England Inn with perfect spots for photographs. The dinner was absolutely delicious. Great clam chowder, salad, stuffed halibut, filet mignon. The service was stupendous, catering to all ages, so helpful and attentive. When we had a few minutes to play, we enjoyed shuffle board on the water - there are swings, a pool, miniature golf, a private beach to name a few. read more

Dinner with a view - Who can ask for anything more? Can't beat sitting on the deck overlooking a sandy beach on Nantucket Sound while enjoying a great meal. My husband and I both loved our dinners. I ordered the chef's signature dish called Waterfront Sole Lighthouse which was delicious. My husband said the Baked Stuffed Haddock en Croute was awesome! We'd definitely will go back! The entire staff was attentive. They even offered to move us inside if it got too cold or too windy. I highly recommend stopping by for lunch or dinner on the deck. read more

Had a late lunch and was able to sit outside on the patio. Gorgeous view with a very nice lunch menu. I had the salmon cake special with a lovely caper sauce. Piña colada was our starter! read more

This was a not so good experience, especially for a $100 per couple. Scenery was great, price and portions were fair (wine was $25 average a bottle so this was overly fair). The service was sub standard and needs some polish. The food is terrible, and possibly worse than the food during my three hour stay in a Mexican prison. I would suggest a few things to help out this place. First, look into the kitchen staff. You are definitely throwing a lot of lobster away. I thought the portions of lobster were great, but I'm a pig and have been thrown out of an all you can eat Chinese buffet. What I am trying to say is you're giving too harty of portions and way too much lobster. Most people will not eat it. The management should also look into retraining or replacing the chefs here. Everyone of the members in my party had overcooked food. I ordered the lobster Mac and cheese. It was was overdone, and tougher than a biker chic in Province Town. The staff needs to smile, and they need to be more tentative. Salads were forgotten about, second round of drinks were never offered, and the place was dead so there's no excuse. A little effort goes a long way in service, and it's pretty clear the staff has given up or no one cares enough to train them. The decor could use some dressing. It's very bland, and just a few add one can really make this place extremely nice. People pay more for this, and that means more money in the pockets of the Owner and staff. I wouldn't come back here, unless there was new management, and the reviews drastically changed prior to my reservation. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. This is by far the worst restaurant and inn on Cape Cod. The service is horrendous. Management is terrible. I've personally seen the owner yell at employees in front of customers. Get some class. I think the place needs to be torn down and built back up with NEW owners. They are terrible. The dining room feels like a basement and the rugs are absolutely filthy. I felt dirty eating in there. The waitress was nice but not efficient. Overall I think this place would be better if the Stones weren't running this place. read more

My sister set up a week stay for all of us here and we had a blast. My review for the restaurant is under the restaurant itself. The inn itself is super cute with little cottages which range in sizes depending on your needs - great family environment with private beaches, activities like play grounds, a pool, mini golf and they set up activities for the kids like making smores or games. With the restaurant right there it makes it very nice for a family to mostly just hang out close in together. The staff were super friendly and helpful and the rooms are very clean and set up well for a nice stay. I would suggest a bit better on the provided soaps, lotions and shampoo/conditioner since they seem a bit too generic and also the towels are a bit scratchy. read more

My family and I had a great evening on the water for dinner! We all had different dishes that were delicious, including the Vegan Ravioli dish for myself! It was great to have a large selection rather than just fried seafood. Our server Daniel was so kind and funny! Cannot wait to go back on Sunday to listen to live music on the water. read more

Filthy sheets with what my child referred to as being "white crusty stuff" on a pillow and sheets. The staff told us to that we'll have to sleep in them until housekeeping could change them in the morning. It took 5 requests to get the rude staff to change them. read more

Lovely!! Great view possib on deck. Or from any Of many window tables Lucia - attentive patient pleasantly answered request questions Terrific Food carefully prepared my fav the carrots. F Good size serving My halibut en croute was so good Drinks. Great too read more

Tonight was the first time that I had eaten at the restaurant and it will be the last. There was no taste to the appetizers or my chicken quesadilla. My father had haddock dish and it was terrible. It caused him to get sick immediately and it lasted the rest of the night. I won't ever recommend or go back to this restaurant. It is a shame that the food was terrible because it's in a prime location and could be a popular place to frequent. I hope that management takes these negative reviews and makes some changes. read more

Sorry but the restaurant meal we had here was not up to the standards we expected. My brother-in-lawe and his wife dined here the summer before and RAVED about it. We have 1 chicken and 1 pasta (lobster pasta) entree. Prices were high and food was just OK. However, the service and ambience are indeed 4-5 star. A great place to stay if you have kids - they have a private ship themed playground area. Also they have a private beach. read more

Probably the worst restaurant on Cape Cod. We were here in 2010, the place was deplorable then and we decided to give it another shot three years later (July 2013); big mistake. The food was over-cooked and burnt---nothing has changed in three years. Stick a fork in us, we're done. This place needs new owners, management, cooks, and a complete overhaul. They do however, have a good view of the ocean, but we didn't come to eat the view. Simply put: TERRIBLE. Don't waste your money. There are many other places with great views or harbors and ocean that are worth spending your money in; just not this place. read more

5 stars for the view and service but 3 stars for the food. Location is absolutely amazing, we sat outside at the tables on the grass which is literally a hop skip and a jump away from the ocean. So when i say you're eating by the water, you are in fact eating ON the water. Great sea breeze and can listen to the waves crashing against the rock wall. Got 2 margaritas and they were okay. Clam Chowder was delicious, but the chicken Alfredo was just okay in my opinion. Wasn't very creamy or thick, and any Alfredo I've had has been rich, thick, and creamy. Slightly disappointed there. My boyfriend had the chicken quesadilla which was also good but nothing to rave about. I'd recommend getting the chowder and the lobster roll looked really tempting. I probably should have opted for that instead of the Alfredo but oh well. The view made up for the okay meal indeed. Cape cod beauty at its finest. read more

If you want to experience dinning the way it was 40 or 50 years ago on the Cape, try the Lighthouse Inn. This place reminds me of the Fairview in Brant Rock before it was destroyed by fire. The interior is the old wood paneling that was ubiquitous in restaurants on the Cape. The place looks like it has not changed since the 50's. (I mean that as a compliment) The lawn outside is a great place for a pre-dinner drink; it is right on the ocean. The restaurant has killer views of the ocean from almost all the tables. Service is excellent, mainly college kids hustling to make a few quid during the summer. Food is a solid value in terms of both price and quality, not fancy but well prepared and well presented. Dress is very casual. If you have kids, they will do well here. read more

BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT YOUR ROOM CHARGES!!! We were quoted one price when we spoke to the front desk (389.00/night) and charged a much higher 680.00/night. When we approached the manager, she said there was nothing they could do. We spoke to a couple that was next door to us, they were charged 295.00/ night (closer to the actual value of these rooms) and when they extended their stay, still 295.00/ night. My husband and I stayed at the Lighthouse Inn mid-week, Wednesday and Thursday nights. I called in July to book the room because I found availability online for 389.00 per night, with taxed and fees, a little over 400.00 per night. We were somewhat familiar with this venue as I had attended a wedding many years ago and we had a drink outside a few years back. Lighthouse Inn is dated, old, however since it was right on the beach, we thought the price was ok. The price they charged 680.00 + taxes per night.....was not the same price that was discussed during my call. They did send a confirmation email which I saw come through however, I did not pay attention (My Mistake!) because whoever did the charging either made a big mistake or just lied. We questioned the charges with the staff and the manager, they continued to tell us that the prices fluctuate and that the hotel rates go down substantially before labor day, (8/25 and 8/26 Thurs and Friday were listed online at the 389.00 per night price) I found this VERY hard to believe because any other hotel prices that I have seen online are quoted seasonally, after labor day they go down. The manager took off 100.00, which we did not feel was satisfactory at all. I could not find any listings for this venue online for the 680.00 per night at the Lighthouse Inn, the hotel is NOT worth this kind of money. The Bed is not that comfortable, breakfast was ok at best, this venue is old and worn. Quaint, old cape cod, that is old worn down. NOT worth almost 700.00 per night. We did enjoy our time in West Dennis however this huge mistake with billing and not getting any resolution really put a damper on our stay at Lighthouse Inn. read more

this was a great place to stay AND especially awesome to dine. The food was awesome. the service was great and the server Alec was awesome. We sat right on the deck over looking the beach. I would definitely go back. read more

This place could be amazing but it's not there. The view is great, the service was good. The chowder is gummy. My dinner salad was wilted, my steak was over-cooked and under-seasoned. My wife said her pasta dish was like someone cracked open a can of tomato sauce and poured it over noodles and frozen veggies. Seems like a nice little resort. If the owners heeded the words of the Yelp reviews, they could turn this place into a hopping spot. read more

I had the broiled scallops with pub Fries and roulitulle the portion is a little small and quality is off a little bit. As far as ambiances yes it is old cape cod. I do agree an update is due looks like it did 15 years ago. I am really surprised at menu selections a little limited and after reading other reviews what is good here? read more

We tried to go here for dinner last week. We didn't realize that we needed reservations. The head hostess was impolite and not accommodating. She tried to put us in the center of the restaurant, carpets old/foul odor, and the restaurant looked unsanitary. We declined the table and had a cocktail outside. While we sat there, we noted many tables empty. The hostess did not even try to work with us or give any options. The server told us we could buy drinks at the bar. Even, the server was rude. The only thing that was nice was the view and the excellent piano player. He played without sheet music, complicated pieces, and you could tell that he loved playing the piano. I wish I could have heard him play more, but sadly, the hostess and server were so rude that we decided to leave. I would have thought that businesses are hurting right now and their staff looks poorly on them. Even getting a drink took over 10 mins, as the servers put in their requests before mine. I only wanted a simple glass of champagne, mind you. The staff looked all stressed out and haggard, even though the restaurant wasn't even full. Good luck staying afloat read more

I had an awesome lunch here! The food was very good, especially the naan organic chicken tacos. Delicious bloody Marys! Never a bad experience at Light House Inn! My cousin and his fiance are staying here celebrating their engagement, and they say the accomadations are fantastic. This place even offers a breakfast package. Tasty food, great service, and very comfortable rooms. We left happy and will definitly go back. Nicely done Light House Inn. read more

This place could be a gold mine. Unfortunately, the apathy of the owners makes this impossible. Maybe they should sell it so someone can come in to this gem of a location and make it the amazing place it could be. The inn is dated, rooms are clean, food is good. I did find a cookie under the bed which wasn't ours so that kind of grossed me out. The beach needs serious work. But what disappointed me the most was that this is advertised as a family resort. There was one set of shuffleboard tiles, the 2nd set was incomplete and one color. There was one broken ping pong ball. I mean, come on, it costs nothing to get the supplies for the games. Had to hunt for beach towels. They use the same towels for beach and rooms. They have a small fire pit but never lit it even though the weather was perfect for it. There is a small bar but it closed after dinner. I do not understand the thinking of these owners. Won't be back. read more

visiting from San Diego and have struggled the whole trip to find vegan food! lighthouse inn was soooo accommodating. they had a really good green vegan burger on the menu that was delicious.

Had high hopes for my husbands 70th birthday dinner. Had a reservation and yet the only outside table they had for us was in the full sun. 1lb lobster dinner overcooked. didn't even bring a candle in the desert we ordered. bar is poor.

Have a burger and sit on the deck at most. Good luck! read more
