The Beach House Spa is a premier destination down the Cape, just note that it is not located on-site at the Mansion, but about 0.5 miles down Main Street at the entrance to The Villages at Ocean Edge.
We love recommending The Villages for Cape rentals with a pool (great for families, but not quite as romantic).
There are various dining options at Ocean Edge, but the best spot right at The Mansion is The Front Lawn, where you can order some light bites and enjoy a few drinks al fresco on the expansive grounds.
