On the edge of the small village of West Barnstable on Massachusetts's Cape Cod, the Honeysuckle Hill Bed and Breakfast has been welcoming guests for generations.

Listed on the National Historic Register, circa 1810, this enchanting New England seaside cottage offers comfortably elegant lodging accommodations and graciously served breakfasts. Built in the Queen Anne style by the Goodspeed and Fish families, the Inn is surrounded by lush, green lawns and colorful gardens.

All the rooms at the Honeysuckle Hill are delightfully furnished with antiques, white wicker, and featherbeds. Each room is air conditioned and has a private bath with an oversized marble shower as well as fresh flowers, English toiletries and terry robes. Crisply ironed sheets and pillowcases are an added feature to make your stay more pleasant and special. One accommodation is a charming suite with two sleeping rooms, each with a double bed. Another room has its own private entrance and stairway. In room amenities include A/C, coffee machines, cable TV/DVD, wireless Internet access, clock radio, hair dryers, and an iron/ironing board.

The guest parlor, with its wood-burning fireplace and built-in bookshelves, is comfortably furnished with antiques and family pieces. Another favorite gathering spot for guests at Honeysuckle Hill is the wicker-filled screened porch. The guest refrigerator is located here along with towels, sand chairs and shade umbrellas for a day at the beach.

At Honeysuckle Hill, a full breakfast is included in the room rates and is served in the sunny dining room. The menu changes daily and offers such gourmet treats as Eggs Benedict, Cape Kedgeree or fruit crepes. Fruits in season, a choice of juice, and freshly baked muffins, breads or coffee cake accompany the entree. Homemade granola, a specialty of the Inn, is always available. Early coffee, along with the morning newspapers, is served on the front porch.

Less then two miles from the Inn, is Sandy Neck, a classic barrier beach that stretches for six miles along Cape Cod Bay. The Neck's adjoining conservation area is a scenic spot to hike, canoe, fish, and birdwatch. West Barnstable offers antiques for the lover of the old and unusual, arts and crafts, museums and historic sites, concerts, and ferry trips to the islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. Whale watching is also available when the whales are migrating.

Honeysuckle Hill Inn has been voted "Best Bed and Breakfast Mid-Cape" by the Cape Cod Life Readers' Poll.

The Inn was also selected as one of the Top 15 B&B/Country Inns by the readers of the 2003 Arrington's Bed and Breakfast Journal in the category of "Best Customer Service."

Like no other village on Cape Cod, West Barnstable is defined by its history and geography, both of which are evident as you approach the village from the west.

Route 6A, designated one of the ten outstanding scenic byways in America, gracefully winds its way along the northern edge of the Cape. Stately elms and maples line the route, forming in spring and summer a lush canopy over this former stagecoach path. In the fall, the canopy changes to a blaze of harvest colors.

All in all, the Honeysuckle Hill B&B and the surrounding village of West Barnstable retain the genteel country charm of yesteryear. Bill and Mary invite you to honor the past and experience country elegance at its best at Honeysuckle Hill, a very special place by the sea.
