What guests say
9.2 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 79 guest reviews
The Old Harbor Inn earns overwhelmingly enthusiastic reviews, with guests consistently singling out hosts Judy and Ray for exceptional warmth, the daily homemade breakfasts and all-day baked treats, a prime walkable location in Chatham, and spotless, elegantly decorated rooms. The only recurring concern is that at least one room category has a private but non-ensuite bathroom across a shared landing — something a handful of guests found inconvenient and wished they had noticed before booking. Overall sentiment is strongly positive, with many guests pledging to return.
