The Vista

East Gloucester

10/10 Excellent

I wasn't expecting much when I booked with Vista, but as soon as I got there I was impressed. The staff was friendly and made you feel welcome and took the time to explain everything you needed to know while staying there. Our room was a little dated, but it was spacious, and very clean! I love to travel and I have to say it was one of the cleanest places I've stayed at. When I booked I was concerned about the view I would be getting based off of others reviews...but I was pleasantly surprised...

Castle Manor Inn

Gloucester

10/10 Excellent

My husband and I recently stayed here and had a fantastic time. The property is beautiful and the Inn is so inviting! We have never stayed in this type of Inn before and we were pleasantly surprised how comfortable and relaxed we felt in a home-like setting such as this. The room was great and we had a gorgeous view of trees, a pond, and the incredible skyline of Massachusetts. We are used to pretty sunsets and sunrises in Southern California, but we do not have the fall trees that make these...

Beverly

10/10 Excellent

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff friendly and helpful. There were two things I really liked. The first was that there is a quiet time between 11:00 pm and 7:00 am. We've all stayed in hotels where there is a loud party going on in the room next door. The second was the ability to cast from your personal device to the TV, so you have access to every streaming service you pay for.. a very nice feature. I would definitely stay again.

10/10 Excellent

I was hesitant after reading some of the previous complaints, but booked The Cove on a whim. I absolutely LOVED my stay. It was in a quite, safe neighborhood and we were able to walk anywhere that we needed to go! The view of the beach across the street was wonderful and we loved that we could open the windows and catch the ocean breeze. We felt safe sleeping with the windows open and were never awakened by other guests or traffic noises. Complaints that I reviewed said that they had a...

We booked this adorable B&B because of its great reviews. We had never visited the coast of mass before and were not disappointed. The staff went above and beyond to take care of us. Mike moved us to a beautiful room after having some issues with a toilet in our room. They made reservations for us when looking for a nice ocean front restaurant. The Inn is equipped with all you need and the cooked to serve breakfast was outstanding. We walked around the property and enjoyed views from every...
