Sleeps 14. Historic Tavern house. One mile from beach.

House was exactly as advertised. Rustic (historic) Inn located at the edge of town in Barnstable. Clean with plenty of space for sleeping arrangements, hanging out, and eating. Nice kitchen for cooking. Excellent Gas Grill out back with nice yard space. The barn is a great extra space to hang out. We would definitely return again.

Understand that the beach is 20 minutes away, not 1 (unless you want wetlands/muddy beach). There are other issues as well, but we have addressed them with the owner and hope they take care of for future visitors.

The Crocker Tavern made the ideal setting for our 3-generation family reunion with ages from 5 to 70s. We all loved this place! Comfortable beds, lots of places to gather indoors and out in small groups for conversations, well-equipped kitchen and grill for a family that likes to cook. The barn was a terrific setting for birthday celebrations, ping pong games and kids craft projects. Great space in yard for kids to run around and adults to play bocce. Two-block walk to charming village with coffee shop, market, places to eat, little shops and special events like craft shows. Easy walk to beach and harbor with whale-watching tours. This is a comfortable, homey place -- not elegant but steeped in history. Kids loved the stories of ghosts and hunting for sword slash in beam. And we appreciated modern conveniences -- new washer/drier, wifi, microwave. Good parking. If owners wanted to kick it up a notch, a little more attention to yard (pruning, weeding) would make a big difference. And get a new coffee maker.

I booked the inn for a 5 day artist workshop. My 7 clients loved the inn and the convenience/walkability to the village as they didn't have a car. All were from California and got a great sense of the history of Barnstable and our ancestors. They loved the gardens and commented how quiet the area was at night. A good sleep! We used the barn as our morning meeting and gathering and were very grateful for the preliminary setup the inn staff did for us. A couple of minor issues (the coffee maker gave out and a circuit blew the first night in half the down stairs area the property manager came right out and immediately dealt with. All my clients were comfortable with the bedrooms and home. They never felt put out and commented the bathrooms were fine. Will definitely book again and recommend. Thank you for making my workshop a success!

Just spent a Long Weekend at the Crocker Tavern House with my cousins. It is a great place to stay with a lot of charm and a fantastic location. It was a short walk into town which has several great restaurants and a very nice local grocery market. The house had everything that we needed and the historic significance of the house made it a very interesting place to stay.
