Located on the promenade, perfect for an early morning stroll. We visited in late October, a great time to go, very quiet but most places in town still open. The hotel is very old and full of character. Very clean and cosy. A good choice for breakfast, especially the fruit scones! Certainly recommend staying here.

everything was perfect I wanted to stay longer. The decor was so tasteful and well done

I loved this hotel - the decor was gorgeous and very very comfortable. The hosts were really friendly and helpful and Skipper the dog was so well behaved and lovely. MY only regret was that we were only there for one night..

Beautifully situated traditional B&B

Greeted by Sam who was friendly and helpful. Talked to the owner John in the evening while in the property's beautiful sitting room and got some really interesting background on the property and the town of Gloucester.

Great night stay and close to the wedding event a short walk away.

The location was great with a view of the water. John was a very friendly host and he had a nice continental breakfast in the morning.

Had a great stay in Gloucester at John's Inn. Everything was well taken care of. Friendly hosts happy to help and talk about the area. Wonderful experience staying in a historic New England house right on the harbor.

Would of liked more options for more fruit and bread. We did have a variety of pastry options. I think an ice bucket for cold water and juice would be nice as well,
