Ship’s Knees Inn is a beautiful property run by lovely people. We truly enjoyed both patios for breakfast and nighttime fun around the fire pit; the excellent pool at the end of hot days; and the fresh and well-kept grounds (flowers everywhere.) The only reason this isn't a 5-star review is the significant drawbacks of our very tiny room: the bed was a super uncomfortable big marshmallow (we didn't sleep well during our entire visit); the walls were embarrassingly thin; and it was dark throughout the day. This room might best be used as a storage area; certainly not worth the cost. In any case we'd return to this Inn and request a better room.

A relaxing spot close to beaches and good restaurants. Great breakfast bar, good healthy selections. Staff were friendly and responsive. Room was very small and dark, bed too soft for our backs but overall a pleasant stay.

What a wonderful stay I had! The property is beautiful and clearly well cared-for, and a short walk from the beach. It’s nestled into a quiet part of the town which is what I was looking for. The owners are accessible, friendly, and very helpful. It was so easy to follow the instructions for contactless check-in and check-out. The breakfast spread was simple but satisfying, just what I needed. My room was small but the furniture was arranged very nicely to make the most of it. My two complaints are: first, the room often felt damp despite the AC, though that’s likely explained by the orientation of that room in particular and the weather that week; and teeny tiny bugs invited themselves in by the window two nights of my stay—again, likely due to the orientation of the room and the damp weather. Neither of these issues prevented me from thoroughly enjoying my stay. I will absolutely look to stay there again next time I come out!

With Covid-19 restrictions in place the stay was a bit different. I appreciated the extra precautions taken to provide a safe and quaint time. The place is charming and the grounds are beautiful. Beach is short walk away and is very nice. It’s peaceful and worth the trip

The Ships Knees is a charming old inn just a short drive from famous Nauset Beach. Our room and bath were pretty, well appointed, and extremely clean. The hosts were very gracious, and the free breakfast every morning was terrific -- eggs, muffins, fresh fruit, yogurt and more. We will stay here again!

Ship’s Knee Inn is a wonderful B&B that is 5 minutes walk from the beautiful Nauset Beach. The breakfast here is amazing and the rooms are artfully decorated and have all the conveniences. The rooms are smaller than a regular hotel, but the charm of the room beats most hotel rooms. The restaurant recommendations by the owners were all great and there is plenty of fun things to do in Orleans. I would recommend SKI fora couple’s getaway to the cape!

A small family run hotel in a very quiet neighbourhood. A wonderful welcome from our hosts (who couldn't do enough to ensure we had a good stay) and a spacious, well appointed room (we had the suite). Breakfast is amazing with home cooked food. 24/7 tea, coffee, cookie availability. 5 min walk to Nauset beach, 5 min drive to all amenities. Unfortunately the pool is not available until mid June. The only thing that wasn't so good was the weather but heigh ho!!

We had a wonderful time at the Ship's Knees Inn. The staff was friendly and helpful, breakfast was very good, and the quirkiness of the historic building is charming. The fire circle is lovely - a fine place to meet fellow guests and socialize. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves there.
