Guestbook: “The Fort Hill Bed and Breakfast has the most prime location of any bed and breakfast on Cape Cod and it’s one of the most beautiful”
Boston Globe
"Gordon and Jean Avery run this enchanting bed and breakfast in an 1864 Greek Revival farmhouse nestled in the tranquil Fort Hill Area. The location is perfect-minutes off busy Route 6, but steps away from quiet, secluded trails that wind through cedar forests, fields crisscrossed by old stone fences, and a red maple swamp." 2007
Fodor’s Rating: * (Fodor’s Choice
"Overlooking Nauset Marsh in the scenic Fort Hill Area is the delightfully sophisticated Fort Hill Bed and Breakfast.
The spacious and pleasant Emma suite includes a living area complete with a piano and a library of excellent books. The bathroom is plenty roomy and has a large bay window. The Nantucket cottage is perfect for those looking for that extra bit of privacy or space.
This B&B is a prime starting point for walk on the Nauset Marsh boardwalks in the historic Fort Hill Area."
2007 Frommer’s Rating: ** (Highly Recommended)
"Perched on a little knoll overloooking Nauset Marsh, Jean and Gordon Avery’s three-suite B&B enjoys one of the Cape’s best locations. The casual, yet refined 19th-century Greek Revival farmhouse is a charmer—with wonderful hosts, separate guest quarters, and a common room with working fireplace. "
Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket- An Explorer's Guide
“For out-of-town seclusion with beautiful views out over Nauset Marsh to the ocean, nothing beats Fort Hill Bed and breakfast.”
Moon Handbook’s Cape Cod
“You'd be hard-pressed to find a more hospitable B&B with a more impressive location on the Cape. The charming 1868 Greek Revival farmhouse is comfortably elegant, with a dedicated living room for guests. You could easily settle in for weeks to the free-standing cottage, a charming space with a private garden. With a mere three suites, be sure to make reservations early”
Yankee Magazine 2004 Editor’s Choice
“Voted One of the Top Ten Inns Best for Star Gazing”
2003 Arrington’s Bed and Breakfast Journal
Book of Lists
"Being very private people, we were a bit nervous about staying a whole week in a small bed and breakfast. Boy, were we wrong! The blissful solitude, privacy and casual luxury your home provides is exactly what we needed to unwind and re-connect with each other. Leisurely walks around Fort Hill, lazy days at Coast Guard Beach, biking along the near-by bike trails, and great shopping excursions in neighboring villages rounded out our days...and wore off a few of the calories from your gourmet breakfasts! Is it too soon to make reservations for next year?"
Kiawah Island, SC
"Expectations met, and then some." Trip Advisor User
"We are big fans of the Fort Hill Bed and Breakfast! It has the most wonderful spot inside the National Seashore on top of Fort Hill that looks out to awesome views of the ocean. It is very secluded and private, but close to everything on the outer cape."
