The Cummaquid Inn, where Deirdre and George are having their wedding, is in Yarmouth Port on Route 6a, on the north shore of Cape Cod. Map of Midcape, showing Cummaquid Inn
Although Rt. 6a, the Old King's Highway, is a lovely scenic road, it is just a short drive South across the Cape to the Hyannis area, which is the commercial hub of the mid-Cape. The Hyannis Map shows a bunch of local places to stay ranging from chain hotels to B&Bs. In addition, you will find shopping centers, restaurants, night life, ferry boats, the airport and hospital, as well as George's family summer place.
If you are hoping for a less hectic and perhaps more traditional Cape Cod experience, look to the East of Yarmouth Port. The Cape stretches out into the Atlantic through smaller towns and then turns North, where the wild expanse of the National seashore extends past Welfleet and on up to Truro and Provincetown. These are lovely vacation destinations, but are not all very convenient to Yarmouth Port.
A few miles to the East of Yarmouth on the Bay (North) side is Brewster, where the premier resort is the Ocean Edge, but there are a number of smaller places to stay along Rt. 6a as well. Once you get East of Brewster, it is a bit of a drive from Yarmouth Port.
And speaking of things being a bit of a drive, it is probably worth mentioning that Route 28, which runs along the South shore of the Cape, is often slow going, so be careful about committing yourself to long drives on this particular road.
