We stayed only one night, but hope to come back soon as we did not get to try the spa. Room was cute and cozy, with a fireplace, deep tub, cute throw blankets. Restaurant was very nice, food and drinks were excellent (try the pasta primavera!), atmosphere upscale but comfy, service next to perfect. I think overall the only things we felt were missing for a spa hotel was a hot tub/sauna, we would have liked the fire pit lit at night (it might have been if we’d asked, but didn’t want to bother anyone), and maybe a better continental breakfast. Overall, loved the place though! We did go to Three Sweet Peas bakery up the road for breakfast sandwiches, chai, and baked goods and highly would recommend.

The property is very nice. Cozy and well kept. The restaurant was so nice. The food was very delicious, fresh, and so tasty. Our only negative comment was on the cleaning in the room, we were one towel short, no extra toilet paper, no tissue, we had to ask for everything.

Best hotel!
Incredible hotel and location! 5 star. Nicest hotel I have been in years with no expenses saved to offer a high class experience where they have thought of everything. The bathrooms offer large showers and separate deep bathtubs, plush robes and bath salts. The fireplace was great on a rainy evening and morning. Pool is small, but has soft lounge chairs next to the spa. Don’t pass this gem, it’s amazing!!

Quaint and comfortable inn with beautiful grounds and good amenities Staff were friendly and accommodating. Other guest were friendly and courteous. Despite some reviews that say otherwise, I thought the pastries were good and not your standard mass produced versions, I do think a small microwave to warm them if preferred (my preference for bfast pastries) would be a nice addition though! Beds were comfortable as were the bed linens. The separate shower and deep soaking tub, as well as the fireplace, were a very nice elevating touches. Finally, the mini bar was reasonably priced as compared to big hotels. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would visit again! Centrally located to visit Newburyport, Salem, and other towns as well as the southern Maine coast.
