 The Painted Lady is a classic Victorian, with its multiple gables and its shingled, windowed turret, replete with wrought iron embellishments. The classic exterior, welcoming entry and Eastlake Victorian newel post herald the myriad and multi-faceted Victorian nuances to follow. Built in 1882 and commissioned by the Drew family, each room is named after a family member. Each of Painted Lady's nine comfortable and charming rooms is individually furnished and features such warm touched as hand-painted furniture, antiques, beautiful Oriental carpets, Laura Ashley- esque textiles and lots of whimsy. All feature private bath and the unexpected indulgences-gas fireplaces, balconies, skylights and whirlpool bath tubs. The gracious soaring tower, which includes a common sitting area replete with "Alice in Wonderland" hand-painted mural, overlooks Sandwich Village Jarves Street. Down comforters with decorator duvets, distinctive window treatments, artwork and objects d' art round out the decor. While Painted Lady ubiquitous amenities keep the world partially at bay, in-room phones, television and wireless internet mean contact with the "outside" is available, if guests wish it. The first floor occupies the Painted Lady café serving contemporary “comfort” food open for lunch and dinner.

 The Abbey is an architectural and aesthetic tour de force. This grand space has been segregated ingeniously and imaginatively into dining and lodging spaces. Guests and dining patrons enter into a soaring space, warmly lit with retrofitted ecclesiastical lighting handsomely accented by ground level amber stained glass windows. The grand fireplace-lit on cooler evenings-is the focal point of the main dining room. Tables are set with crisp white linen and the seating is black and gold dressed chairs. Inn keeper Wilson salvaged nearly every piece of architectural “gewgaw" and put them to their highest and best uses. The Bistro Bar's wine "cellar" is the one-time confessional, former pews have many new homes-some became the bar, while others wall paneling beds.
The unassuming stairway to six guest chambers-cleverly named Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, a nod to Genesis' Creation- is necessarily utilitarian and provides mighty contrast to the flamboyant and dazzling spaces beyond. Guest chambers feature vaulted ceilings with skylights, king or queen beds, balconies, gas fireplaces, two-person ultra massage whirlpool bathtubs, climate control, television and telephones and wireless internet. Several rooms feature dramatic and magnificent circular stained glass windows depicting archangels and other Biblical motifs. Each of these glorious bedrooms is harmoniously decorated and lavishly accoutered with creature comfort galore. Fanciful bed linens, wall treatments, custom-made draperies, antiques and quality reproductions, indulgent mattresses and pampering an incomparable location in the former church edifice, make Abbey rooms most desirable.

 The Village House at Sandwich is a six-room bed-and-breakfast in the heart of Sandwich village on Cape Cod. Built circa 1830, it is a charming Federal style building that has been completely renovated and is in pristine condition. A covered porch extends across the front and around the side. The porch is lined with rocking chairs and flower boxes. The grounds are beautifully planted with perennial gardens and flowering trees. A separate building houses the expanded spa services.
Guests are invited to enjoy our two parlors. Our Victorian parlor with fireplace is furnished with antiques and a wet bar with complimentary beverages and snacks. On a chilly evening curl up by the fireplace in our front parlor with a good book or enjoy a game of chess while listening to classical music, or viewing the 42" plasma TV.
