The room was attractively co-ordinated with fresh looking furniture and soft furnishings.
It was all really comfortable and beautifully clean.
A great little breakfast diner, Capeside Kitchen, and a fantastic seafood restaurant, Brax Landing,
are a couple of minutes drive along the street.
And Harwich Port makes a great base for the rest of Cape Cod.
Is old property but the owner keeps in good shape the pool is small but deep inside and area safe for the kids playing I loved the room clean was big enough for us
The stay was OK until the third night,,,the battery in the smoke alarm started to fail, and we were rudely awakened
every few hours...we should have been paid for the last night!! The pool was very clean. No housekeeping, but we are clean folks...so that didn't matter. There was no ice machine in sight, if in fact they did have one. No tissues in the bathroom was a poor way to save a buck.

Mr. Paul Francis what is very upsetting is that you came into the office when checking out and you indicated smoke detector went off at midnight nothing about a refund for the last night. However I did check the smoke detector and it is working properly. Our ice machine is in the snack room we provide for our guest and if you needed tissue paper all you had to do was ask, you where with us for 3 nights. My wife and I work hard to provide the best for our guest and for you to make such claims only shows what type of person you really are. Shallow and uncouth. Look it up! We welcome constructive criticisim not hurtful comments. My appologies to all reviewers
We love staying at Handkerchief Shoals Inn. It is so clean, quiet, economical, and conveniently located between our two favorites: Harwichport and Chatham. All rooms have been updated too. It is a little hidden treasure!
I arrived before check in and they were happy to accommodate. I’m sure it helped that it was off season (the best time to enjoy the Cape) Very nice people. Reasonable rates. Nice and clean. Bathroom is a tad dated, but that goes with the charm of Old Cape Cod.
Totally happy staying there! Just the right spot to go fly fishing in that area. Told them I’ll be back in the Spring but it’s going to be easier than that, we still have the Fall run.
Loved the free excellent coffee and snacks. Loved the fresh towels exchange. Loved the helpful attitude of the owners. Loved the outside chairs and grill and beautiful grounds. Going back again!
Great location with close access to beaches, restaurants and shops. Clean, quiet and owners were very accomodating on a slightly delayed checkout and use of the pool.
We were at a wedding for the weekend which was down the road. I would stay there every time I go. The only thing I would recommend is a shower liner for the shower. The grounds was beautiful. Pool was so warm. Had a place for grilling and sitting area with tables and picnic tables. And parked right in front of our room! Can’t wait to go back!!
Very nice clean motel, spacious room, newly renovated, clean large pool, hot coffee and snacks in front office. Convenient to both Harwichport and Chatham, set back from the main road so very quiet. Highly recommend!
This is an older property that the new owners have done a great job updating. The location is perfect for access to both Chatham and Harwichport. It's also under a 5 minute drive to Red River Beach and 10-15 minutes away from the Chatham beaches. The pool area is mid sized but nice and never busy. Overall a great location, nice owners and amazing location that's close to everything couples or families would need.
Cute Cape motel. Contact free entry, email gave instructions, but I was traveling and missed the day before email with instructions. I got there a little early, called them, left a voicemail, and they called back quickly. I needed to get into my room after traveling a few hours without a stop, and they came over to open my room. Breakfast is a free cup of coffee or tea and a packaged muffin or pop tart. The parking is for one car only. Pool opens after Memorial Day. Nice outside tables with umbrellas and chairs.
Brief overnight stay, Room clean and nicely decorated. Contactless checkin/checkout. Would stay again!

Maybe think twice in winter
Didn’t have heat one night when it was well below freezing outside. When I asked about getting it fixed they didn’t apologize and most definitely didn’t offer a partial refund. Moldy shower as well.
The room was very nice and comfortable, even with a beautiful patchwork quilt on the bed.
The owners were very personable and helpful with their suggestions of where to visit and excellent restaurants. We would definitely go back there if we returned to the Cape.
The property is well maintained with areas to enjoy the outdoors.
