Look inside Cape Cod’s Candleberry Inn, named the No. 1 B&B in America
You'll find it in Brewster.
Travelers looking for a bed & breakfast that’s chock-full of charm will score big at a historic Cape Cod getaway in Brewster, according to Tripadvisor users.
The Candleberry Inn was recently named the best bed & breakfast in America and No. 7 in the world by Tripadvisor users. The inn topped the Needham-based travel website’s Travelers’ Choice Awards for Hotels due to its high volume of rave reviews and opinions from the Tripadvisor community.
Travelers at the nine-room inn, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, stay in the Georgian Federal-style Main House, built in the late 18th century, or in the property’s Carriage House, which has a more “eclectic and beach cottage kind of feel.”

“At Candleberry Inn, it is our goal to delight and surprise you during your Cape Cod getaway,” owners Marco and Angelo wrote on the B&Bs website. “It’s what’s at the top of our minds as we plan meals, appoint rooms, and provide for all of your Cape Cod wishes while you stay with us. Hospitality and service are what we truly love most about being innkeepers.”
The rooms have names such as Breezing Up Room, Treetops Room, Garden Suite, and Seacroft Suite. They offer Turkish towels and robes and Malin + Goetz bath products. Some rooms include fireplaces, patios, and soaking tubs.
There are six guest rooms in the Main House. The Seacroft Suite has a king-sized bed and fireplace, as well as a separate sitting room; the Breezing Up Room, The Highlands Room, and the Beach Rose Room have queen-sized beds and fireplaces; and the Cricket Room and The Copeland Room offer queen-sized beds.
The nearby Carriage House offers three rooms. The Garden Suite has a king-sized bed, private patio, and soaking tub; the Treetops Room has a king-sized bed and a semi-private deck; and the Seabreeze Room also has a king-sized bed and a semi-private deck (the two rooms share the deck).
The property’s guest rooms all have private, newly renovated bathrooms. While the standard guest rooms have showers, the suites include both bathtubs and showers.
The showers offer a “spa-like escape,” according to the website. They are tiled with premium shower heads and hand-held shower attachments, all with stone and porcelain finishes.
Breakfast is served in the B&B’s historic 1790’s dining room or on the garden patio. The covered garden patio with bistro tables overlooks the west lawns and gardens and outdoor heaters warm diners during colder mornings.
There is an all day gourmet espresso, coffee, and tea service, and guests receive an afternoon sweet treat made daily from scratch. There is also a guest pantry available during the stay.
The daily gourmet breakfast consists of a plated fresh fruit course and a hot course that alternates between sweet and savory.

Examples of dishes served at the Candleberry Inn include apple-blueberry pancakes, challah French toast, and recipes inspired by the Italian mothers of the owners, such as zucchini frittata and patate rustiche.
The Candleberry Inn accommodates almost any dietary restriction or food allergy, according to its website.
The property sits on two acres of manicured grounds with views of Cape Cod Bay and is walking distance to the beach, restaurants, shops, and art galleries.
Guests can enrich their Cape Cod experience with special add-ons such as wine, in-room massage, flowers, whale watch excursions, and more.
