The Hydrangea Inn

Great location within Gloucester and a good option if you’re on a budget. But property was run more like a casual AirBnB than an inn. Was not clear from the listing that our bathroom would be separate from our room and was not entirely private. Also we nearly got locked into the bathroom when the knob kept coming off the door.

Our stay at The Hydrangea Inn was fantastic! My daughter and I had a fabulous stay in Gloucester because of where we stayed. The owner could not have been more welcoming or helpful. She was very informative about the area and so fun to talk to and get to know. The rooms were beautiful and very comfortable. Can't wait to go back!

A hydrangea inn is truly a diamond in the rough. The owner, Joan is attentive, sweet, and respectful. She was sure to keep us informed of when should be in and out of the house to ensure our safety of our items, as well as to ensure that we didn’t have any unmet needs. She made a beautiful breakfast each morning and was very attentive during those meals as well. She truly made us feel like family just staying with an aunt and I highly recommend everybody go and meet her and see her beautiful home and love and cherish it just the way she does. Also, her dog petunia is just the cutest thing ever.

This is a wonderful property B/B with a fabulous attending hostess. Easy parking and breakfast was over the top wonderful. Easy access to all surrounding areas. Bedrooms are upstairs. FABULOUS!

This home is in a amazing location. You get a great view of the water, great walking in all areas, and a close drive to stores and restaurants.

This was an amazing stay. The B&B was exceptionally clean. Lots of space in the rooms. Very nice place to stay. Walking distance to harbor is literally across the street. Fisherman’s Memorial 5 minute walk. Miss Joanie was warm and inviting. She went above and beyond. I have major allergies to certain foods and she accommodated that so I could enjoy breakfast with my family. Side note: I loved the natural soaps she provided. Very very sweet hostess. We will definitely be back.

Joanie was the perfect host. She made an amazing breakfast for us! The location was perfect. We really enjoyed our stay at her charming Inn and hope to return in warmer weather. Thanks again Joanie!

We had the most wonderful weekend getaway at the Hydrangea Inn! Our host was thoughtful and attentive, and went the extra mile by sharing tips about the neighborhood and suggesting restaurants and activities nearby. The Inn was very cozy and quaint - just a few rooms - with lots of sweet personal touches (coffee machine and beverages in room, books, brochures and information about the area). The view from our bedroom window was exactly what you see in the Inn's cover photo - a sunrise over the water right across the street! Highly recommend this place for a couple's or family getaway.

We had a lovely visit. Joan was terrific, the room was lovely, and we enjoyed several walks along the waterfront and the park across the street. We enjoyed our conversations and THANK YOU for the wonderful breakfasts that fit our dietary restrictions.

The property is beautifully located. There is a small park in front and a great view of the water with a nice walking path past a couple of memorials. It’s about a 1 mile hike up to the center of town but you can drive it in five minutes. The property itself was extremely clean. The owner goes around after hours and sterilizes all the public places. The room was very eclectic, reflecting the taste of the owner. An older home, but wonderfully restored. Although we were only two people, the breakfasts were enough to feed a family(and delicious). If you are fortunate enough to sit and talk with the owner, she has had an amazing life and could keep you entertained for hours with her stories. If not, she does respect your privacy. Overall, it was a great place to stay for us to see the local area. I would stay there again on my next trip to Gloucester.
