Angle for a stay at the Coonamessett, a coastal crashpad in fishing-hotspot Falmouth. Rustic-luxe rooms and pond-facing terraces are your bait; you’ll be hooked on modern New England fare at Eli’s Tavern and all things seafood at waterfront shacks. While fiancés tie the knot at this white-washed boutique, you can too: casting lines on the harbor or at one of Cape Cod’s pristine beaches. With its bikes to borrow and laidback locale, this halcyon escape is a real catch.

Our favourite rooms

Coastal cool permeates throughout the Coonamessett, especially so in the bedrooms. Interiors are inspired by the hotel’s farmhouse pedigree, weaving in whitewashed pickled floors, wooden four-poster beds and bespoke wall hangings. Sun-streaming picture windows and a cozy fireplace make the King room a year-round favorite; the egg-shaped bath tub in the Lark Suite is big enough for two, and the Queen Suites are styled in sultrier hues of navy and charcoal, with brushed brass and dark leather details.

Packing tips

A sarong can double as a beach picnic blanket (bonus points if it’s stripy); an appetite for seafood and craft beers will also come in handy.

Also

Afternoon agendas tend to be marked by soporific reading sessions — followed by breeze-kissed kips — on the sofa-lined porch or in one of the lawn’s hammocks.

Pet‐friendly

Up to two canine companions are welcome to stay in the pet-friendly Village King Suites, for $50 each a night. Your pooch must be with you at all times, and is welcome in the outdoor communal areas, as well as your room. See more pet-friendly hotels in Cape Cod.

Top Table

By the roaring fireplace in crisper months; spend balmy summer evenings on the greenery-flanked terrace.

Dress Code

Preppy and nautical are the MO – walk the walk in breezy linen pieces, stripy knits and deck shoes.

Hotel restaurant

Eli’s Tavern takes cues from the hotel’s farmhouse heritage, with vaulted beamed ceilings, wooden furnishings and duck-egg-blue details. Traditional New England fare gets a modern makeover, and indulgent stand-outs include the generously stacked cheeseburger and moreish spinach-artichoke dip. Cape Cod’s community spirit prevails at Eli’s, most palpably at weekly events, where nights of Jamaican cooking or local oysters are filled with the hum of neighborly nattering, regardless of where you’re from.

Hotel bar

Eli’s Tavern pays homage to one of the den’s regulars from back in the day, Eli, who would buy two drinks — one for himself, the second for anyone who might need ‘one more than they can pony up for’. This sense of hospitality still flows freely at the inn, and you too can channel Eli’s generosity by paying forward a pint or a cocktail, which the bartenders dole out to lucky patrons (so keep your fingers crossed).

Last orders

A light Continental breakfast is served daily in the lounge from 7.30am–10.30am. Eli’s Tavern is open 11.30am–8pm, Monday to Wednesday; 11.30am–9pm, Thursday to Saturday; and 11am–8pm, on Sundays.

Address
The Coonamessett
311 Gifford Street
Falmouth
02540
United States

You’ll find the Coonamessett on the banks of Jones Pond in coastal town Falmouth, which sits on Cape Cod’s southwestern tip opposite Martha’s Vineyard.

Planes

Boston Logan International Airport and Rhode Island TF Green International Airport are each a 90-minute drive from the hotel; staff can arrange transfers on request.

Automobiles

You’ll want a set of wheels to reach sandy stretches and quaint towns in more distant parts of Cape Cod, plus there’s free outdoor parking at the Coonamessett.

Other

If you fancy an island day-trip, drive 10 minutes to Woods Hole terminal and hop on the 45-minute car ferry to Oaks Bluff in Martha’s Vineyard.

Worth getting out of bed for

You’ll get your fresh-air fix at the Coonamessett, which is positioned between the pond-dotted Goodwill Park and Falmouth Harbor in Cape Cod. Sandy bays line this coastal outpost and favorites include family-friendly Chapoquoit Beach and Falmouth Heights Beach for salty swims, and Wood Neck Beach for long walks. Cast your line at Old Silver Beach, or venture out to sea on a fishing charter. Hike up to the Knob or to Nobska Lighthouse for golden-hour-washed views, or borrow one of the hotel’s bikes and pootle along the Shining Sea Bikeway, which takes you past marshes and cranberry bogs.

For more cosmopolitan pursuits, mooch in boutiques and bakeries along Falmouth’s Main Street, or take in the town’s history at Falmouth Museums on the Green. The old-world charm of Martha’s Vineyard is within daytripping distance: hop on a ferry from Woods Hole, which will drop you in quaint Oaks Bluff within the hour.

Local restaurants

Seafront stalwart Landfall Restaurant has been dishing up fresh fish and harbor views for decades, and a loyal crowd flocks to its waterfront setting for clam chowder and seafood platters. The setting at the Glass Onion may be vintage, but the menus take a more contemporary approach, spotlighting local ingredients and fusion flavors (we’re eyeing the decadent lobster strudel). Mexican-style street food and talk-of-the-town tequilas fuel evenings at Añejo Mexican Bistro, a laidback eatery with sidewalk tables.

Local cafés

You’ll be taken with signature brews (chili-honey lattes, iced apple cider and cinnamon-infused hot cocoa) and decadent pastries at Coffee Obsession. Days get off to a sweet start at Mary Ellen’s Portuguese Bakery, with sugar-dusted treats, traditional tarts and syrup-drenched French toast.

Local bars

House-brewed beers and specialty pizzas decorate the flower-lined terrace’s tables at Bad Martha Farmer's Brewery & Pizzeria. Afternoons at family-run Cape Cod Winery center around vineyard views, seafood sharing plates and a glass, or two, of local wine.
