Woods Hole Passage Bed & Breakfast Inn provides you with all the comfort and warm hospitality that Cape Cod Bed & Breakfast Inn's are known for, and represents Cape Cod lodging at it's finest! It is the perfect All-Season Cape Cod Bed & Breakfast where you can relax and enjoy everything New England and specifically, The Cape have to offer, right at your doorstep.
Ideally located near Martha's Vineyard, between the town of Falmouth and village of Woods Hole, it is within walking distance of both bay and ocean beaches. This 5-room inn is the transformation of a century-old carriage house, situated on spacious grounds, surrounded by large shade trees, and well-maintained flower and herb gardens.
Woods Hole Passage offers lodging close to all the summer fun of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Falmouth, Massachusetts, including: beaches, sailing, art galleries, restaurants, shops, theatre, film festivals, and the famed Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. Additionally it provides a restful retreat in the quiet season.
Intimate breakfast tables surround the Great Room, which is furnished with large, comfortable couches and rocking chairs. In one corner, a table is set with tea and freshly baked cookies for guests to enjoy an afternoon pick-me-up. Another corner holds an entertainment center with TV/DVD player. All around, the walls are hung with an eclectic array of original art. When you arrive for breakfast, you may find a fire in the fireplace to take the chill off the morning air.
The Stone Patio is set with tables where breakfast may be enjoyed overlooking manicured grounds, including flower and herb gardens, and a rolling lawn with ample space for croquet or bocce, a horseshoe pit, and relaxing lawn furniture.
Anyone who's known the pleasures of a summer beach house, knows that there's no better way to end a day in the sun than by taking a shower in the great outdoors. It's totally refreshing. We welcome you to enjoy our Outdoor Shower. It's a Cape Cod tradition.
Breakfast to Stay or to Go!
There's nothing quite as beautiful as the slants of light on a Cape Cod morning. At Woods Hole Passage, you can catch the sun with breakfast by a huge multi-paned window, or invigorate yourself with breakfast on our patio overlooking the flower and herb gardens.
And what a breakfast! Breakfast includes such items as: home-baked breads, scones, bagels, fresh-fruit, egg nest, Crème Brulé French toast or homemade strawberry shortcake, juices and fragrant coffee or tea, served from 8:30 to 9:30 AM. And if you're leaving earlier to enjoy the day or catch the ferry, your "breakfast-to-go" bag with fruit, muffin and juice will be on the table, ready for you to grab it and go!

Summer or Winter, Your Room is Waiting
