About this property

Welcome to Red Horse Inn

Set in a charming 1930s clapboard house and converted barn, this country-style motel offers a quaint and comfortable stay on a leafy street in Falmouth, Massachusetts. The property features simple, spacious rooms with air conditioning and complimentary Wi-Fi, providing a relaxed atmosphere that many guests have described as clean and welcoming. Picnic areas and a lounge add to the cozy, laid-back feel of the inn.

Guests can enjoy a complimentary breakfast each morning, noted by several reviewers for its fresh muffins and self-service style, although it does not include hot food options. Free parking is available on-site, and the inn maintains a smoke-free environment. While the motel does not include facilities such as a pool, fitness center, or on-site restaurant, it offers convenient access to a nearby golf course and is kid-friendly but not pet-friendly.

Location is a key highlight, with the Red Horse Inn situated just a four-minute walk from the Island Queen Ferry to Martha’s Vineyard and a 12-minute walk from Falmouth Heights Beach. This proximity makes it a practical choice for visitors looking to explore the coastline or plan day trips to the island. Several well-regarded local attractions, including Nobska Lighthouse and Highfield Hall & Gardens, are also within easy reach.

Frequent guests praise the friendly and accommodating staff, particularly the owner, as well as comfortable accommodations with good shower water pressure and clean amenities. The motel’s quiet surroundings and reasonable rates appeal to a range of travelers, especially those seeking a simple, pleasant base for visiting Falmouth and the surrounding Cape Cod area.

Lovely, charming inn with spotless spacious rooms. The owner was friendly and very accommodating even when we asked to extend our stay, she made it very easy! Location was excellent for the both getting into town/ Main Street as well the Martha’s Vineyard ferry. Would definitely stay here again!

For us this place was great. It sweet, clean and simple. Beds were comfy and the few essentials you would need in a room. It's a shop walk to the shoreline and there are many available shops and diners close by. Breakfast is help yourself it was a great service area. There is no hot food.

We had a great visit to Cape Cod and to the Red Horse Inn this August. It was welcoming, and very, very clean. The Inn was in a great location close to many restaurants, shops, and beaches. It is a short walk to the Island Queen Ferry to Martha's Vineyard, which was also very convenient. Make sure to book those tickets ahead of your visit for summer time travel. The room was stocked with all the toiletries/supplies we needed and the shower water pressure was A+. The homemade daily muffins in the common area "Barn" were very tasty as well. Coffee and Ice Cream stands were also nearby! We would stay here again. Thank you!

This is a great place to stay. Our room was clean. The person who checked us in was very friendly. It was quiet and the bed was so comfortable. They provided a free breakfast. The muffins were delicious. It is within walking distance to the ferry and the beach. We liked it so much that we extended our stay. Thank you to the staff for making it a great place to stay.

A very comfortable room, reasonably priced, with a gracious staff. The complimentary breakfast includes everything you would want, including delicious, moist blueberry muffins.

Stayed here Labor Day weekend 2023 and had a wonderful experience. Check-in was easy, and the room was nice and comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the breakfast offered and appreciated the ample parking available. There are plenty of good restaurant options nearby, and the location is within walking distance to the Martha's Vineyard ferry, which made our day trip to Martha's Vineyard very convenient. Highly recommend this place!

We had such an incredible stay at the Red Horse! We have been here several times and it never disappoints. Cindy is one of the sweetest women in the world and will make sure you’re taken care of without any hesitation. The room was spacious and CLEAN - the bed was extremely comfy, pillows were great, lots of towels, big bathroom, great showerhead. The location is perfect - close to the ferry and Raw Bar (our favorite). Will always recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

The Red Horse Inn is an excellent hotel choice for anyone visiting Falmouth, especially from outside of New England! It’s an adorable inn just south of downtown Falmouth. While we didn’t personally stay there, we coordinated with the general manager, Cindy, to have our guests stay there the week of our wedding. We were delighted to learn that prices were very reasonable for an August weekend, at under $300 per night (2-night minimum). We had no issues with our invited guests securing rooms, and it is best to book rooms by calling hotel management directly. The room decor is characteristically quaint Cape Cod themed, and was a nice bonus to welcome our many guests who had never been to Cape Cod. Cindy was accommodating in allowing our shuttle buses to pick up and drop off guests at the Red Horse Inn, and she was good at getting the guest welcome bags where they needed to go after we dropped them off.
