We selected the Whalewalk Inn to stay due to their location to the Cape Cod bike trails. We have electric bikes which we enjoy riding on the rails to trails (old railroad tracks turned into bike trails).We were so impressed with how well kept & large the Inn was. Very spread out along their beautiful landscaped yard. We loved the privacy & comfortable secluded porch which was connected to our Carriage House room. The breakfast was superb. Switching from one morning serving a “Sweet” breakfast the next day a “Savor” breakfast.The sweet breakfast consisted of blueberry pancakes, excellent tasting zucchini bread & an amazing selection of fresh fruit; then the next day a “Savor” breakfast consisting of a delicious avocado toast with eggs, amazing chocolate banana mini bunts & a citrus fruit stack.The owners provide excellent customer service. We were very impressed with the Whalewalk Inn & look forward to returning next summer.Rooms: Very clean & comfy bedsNearby activities: Cape cod bike trails has hundreds of miles of fun riding.

We greatly enjoyed our 3-night stay at this family-run inn. Christina and Steve were very welcoming owners, and interesting to talk to. It was a convivial and friendly atmosphere in the inn, with some guests striking up conversations with other guests over breakfast, but there was also plenty of space and privacy so no sense of this being intrusive. It's just outside Orleans town, but only a very short drive from the restaurants etc of Orleans, and I assume all visitors are coming with cars and are prepared to drive a very short way (less than 10 mins) to dinner. Given the tranquility of the location, the nice gardens (and great star-gazing), it certainly felt like a good trade off to us versus being in a downtown area.We were in the Rose room, which was one of their standard rooms (as in, not a deluxe/upgraded room) and even though that was the lowest tier price-wise, we found it really charming, and not too small at all. It was in the main building, which we really liked (although the other rooms/cabins dotted over the grounds were no doubt just as pleasant, and might have had their own advantages from extra space or privacy, so to each their own!). Decoration throughout the inn was quaint and whale-themed. We had absolutely no problems with hearing any neighboring rooms, and found it very peaceful; walls must be very thick. The only thing I would note was that the minifridge in our room (a really nice amenity) did hum more noticeably at night, and since alas I'm very sensitive to noise when trying to sleep, I did end up using my earplugs for this! This wasn't a flaw, but just something I'll mention for other guests who might want to make similar provisions!We appreciated Christina's recs for dinner (we LOVED Land Ho), and the breakfasts were, as everyone has commented, a delight. Housekeeping was noticeably good (very thorough, very quick--much better than I've experienced in many hotels).One of the nicest things was that I had alerted them in advance that it was my fiance's birthday, and they left a little box of local artisan chocolates in the room with a birthday note on arrival. This made him so happy, which made me so happy! It was a very nice touch which really felt in keeping with the warm atmosphere of this family establishment. We would very warmly recommend them to anyone looking for a base for their upcoming trip!

I have been going to the Whalewalk Inn for over 10 years and it has been uniformly wonderful. Christina and Steve are warm, friendly, and hospitable and remember each of their guests’ preferences. The Inn itself is charming, clean and peaceful. The grounds are beautifully kept, the resistance pool and fitness area are great when the weather is rainy, and the food is fabulous! Their breakfasts are not to be missed, with exquisite fruit, delicious muffins, and wonderful main courses. The rooms are all spacious, spotlessly clean, and charmingly decorated. I wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else on the Cape. It is also conveniently located near the Orleans Rotary, and near a lovely, peaceful beach called Boat Meadow.

This is one of the nicest places to stay on all of Cape Cod.The property is beautiful and well maintained. The owners and staff are good people. They work hard and do an unbelievable job. The rooms are really nice, and they are spotless. These are the cleanest rooms we have ever seen. The all included breakfast is the best on the Cape by far. And Christina makes the most amazing bacon to be found anywhere. Top notch owner and chef.Don’t waste your time searching for hours online. This is the place you’re looking for. Minutes from some really nice beaches, including Nauset.When you go there, make a point of getting to know the other owner Stephen. You will not regret it. One of the nicest people walking around on the planet right now.

Unbelievable weekend here at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa. When we checked in on Saturday, we were pleasantly greeted and given a full tour of the property. The grounds are immaculate and there are flowers all over. Beautiful! This B&B is absolutely amazing! When we got to our room there was a greeting card along with some chocolates. The room was huge and has everything you needed along with a television that included hulu. Downstairs in the lobby there is a sunroom that has beach towels in the cabinet, an ice machine, complementary sodas, snacks, and coffee. Also, if you need beach chairs they have that covered for you. Now what put this place on a different level of B&B's that we've stayed at in the past was the breakfast. The first day we had zucchini bread, a delicious Quiche, Turkey sausage, and a fruit bowl. I also ordered an iced coffee and OJ. The second morning we had a strawberry rhubarb muffin, applewood smoked bacon, assorted seasonal fresh fruit, and blueberry pancakes that were out of this world! The maple syrup was so good and it was local. The chef always comes to your table to ask how everything is. Super accommodating along with the nice girl that waited on us. We felt like royalty. We really did. Thanks so much!We loved this place so much that I am going to book another weekend here before summer ends. I highly recommend staying here. You will not be disappointed.

Where oh where do I begin? You pull up to an impeccable compound with supreme beauty Aesthetically… the host is an absolute doll! She is welcoming and warm! She gave a tour of the grounds and room and was so easy to speak to. It was quiet and the beds were really comfortable. There is a lap pool sauna and hot tub in the exercise room. The breakfast was amazing and made with such care and love. I highly recommend this B&B. So many things to do as well such as taking the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard and whale watching along with many amazing restaurants!!

A friend and I have been coming to the Whalewalk Inn for many many years (since 2008) fir an annual Cape Cod getaway. The breakfast offered daily is always delicious and comes with sincere service on the side. The location makes it so easy to enjoy all the Cape has to offer. We have favorite nearby shops that we return to each year and enjoy exploring a new town or area each visit as well.The rooms are comfortable and stylishly decorated. Our suite has a kitchenette so we can stay in and binge watch something on Netflix in front of the fireplace. The heat and air conditioning are newly installed and work well so we are always comfortable. Premium bath products, fluffy towels and our unusual corner shower complete our home away from home. We’ve just gotten back from this years trip and are looking forward to next year!
