Earl of Sandwich Motel
The Earl of Sandwich Motel is family run, more like a bed and breakfast in appearance and feel than a motel. The setting is among flower beds and along a quiet pond where guests can enjoy the ducks or picnic on the grounds. The motel keeps a fire for the evening chill and pool for the heat of the day. Pets are allowed in certain rooms with prior notice.
Tours of local flowering vegetation and participation in the cranberry harvest are popular pastimes. Follow the Sandwich Boardwalk down to the marshes for birdwatching and exploration. Whale watching tours depart from Barnstable Harbor, ten minutes away. Numerous golf courses serve the area.
