Cape Cod & the Islands have comfortable B&Bs and historic inns

You want the intimacy, exclusivity and friendliness of a bed-and-breakfast inn, but you don’t want to feel like you have to tiptoe around someone else’s house? The Lamb and Lion Inn, nestled on four acres in the heart of Cape Cod’s historic bayside, knows exactly what you mean. You want the comfort of separate entrances, luxurious bedding and whirlpool tubs – but you also want to be near hiking trails, waterfront restaurants, charming villages, great beaches. You want to gather around a solar-heated saltwater pool or wood-burning fireplace with fellow guests – but you also want time alone by your room’s fireplace or on your private deck. You get the best of all worlds at this historic inn, which dates back to 1740 (its original horse stables are now elegant suites).
