WONDERFUL - We stayed at the Harborview for our granddaughters wedding. The staff (family run business) was great and our view was amazing. I would definitely recommend staying here. We truly enjoyed our brief visit.

We stayed here from Friday to Monday for a wedding we were in. The Inn keeper Sam and the Inn owner John, were more than welcoming when we got there. This place was so cozy and really made you feel like home.

We had a lovely stay here! The building and rooms are very cute and cozy. The decor is beautiful, especially in the dining room. The breakfast is a very good spread of assorted pastries. Scones, muffins, croissants, you name it! The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and nice to talk to! The room was very nice and they offer a welcome basket with snacks and waters. To top it all off we had a beautiful view of the water right from our window. We had such a great time staying here!

My wife always wanted to stay at a bed and breakfast. Check ...done. The place was fine but it was nothing wonderful. I dont like staying in someones home. However it was a nice home with all the original old charm, if u like that kinda thing. Felt like i was staying at my Grandpops house. The breakfast was fine and included some scones, cakes, coffee etc Hotel for us going forward.

I loved the property, it’s all so beautifully decorated and a lot of outdoor space. Sitting on the porch early in the morning and in the evening was so lovely to look out on the water.
Go ahead and grab a coffee in the lovely in the Cape Ann room for breakfast and talk to John, the owner. John is a life-long local with a lot of interesting stories and don’t forget to give his sweet little doggo, Skipper some pets before heading out for the day.
The location can’t be beat. I didn’t rent a car but the area is so walkable, just a 15 minute walk to Main street and is 5 mins from Pavilion beach.
Breakfast is a nice continental layout with pastries, juice, coffee, and tea as nice snack to get you going.

The location is great! We really enjoyed meeting and talking with John. Lot’s of local knowledge and good recommendations for restaurants and walking or driving in the Cape Ann area.
6.0 / 10.0
The Innkeeper is very nice! However, the property is very old and tired. Also, there is really no onsite service. After check-in you won't see a soul until breakfast.
We had to leave for a flight before the breakfast service started and the room was locked and there wasn't even an offer to set out a muffin or anything for our departure. As a point of clarification, stayed at 5 other inns this year and all had some 24 hour accommodations for coffee or early departure breakfast items.
All in all, it pains me to not be more positive, but it is what it is.

Pros
Historic home - well maintained
Friendly & helpful staff and owner (and sweet puppy to boot)
Wonderful location and beautiful ocean views.
Very luxurious bedding - so comfortable
Off-street parking
In-room goodie basket
Good water pressure in the shower
Cons
The air conditioner - while a very welcome relief on a hot day - was noisy. I acknowledge that this is a first-world problem.
Overall, a fantastic experience - we would definitely stay again.

Stay at the Harborview Inn!!! The property was gorgeous with well-kept historical charm. Location was incredible - less than 5 minute walk into town and right across from the waterfront walking trails. The rooms are clean and comfortable with lots of charm. The room we stayed in was also very large, tons of space for 2 people. The building and rooms have been restored and maintained all the while still keeping the historical features of the home. The continental breakfast was a nice extra touch, and was included! The best part of the experience was chatting with the owner, John, who is often on property. He had so many fascinating stories about Gloucester and the history of the town, as well as history of the Harborview Inn. We could have talked to him for hours. His family also helps out at the Inn, so it's awesome to see that it is truly a local business. Parking is free right on property, offered a welcome basket of snacks, and access to water bottles. 1000/10 recommend!!

We loved the location of the Inn, which was right off the harbor. The sitting/dining area was in the front with large bay windows which allowed us to view the water while we ate breakfast. Also the location is perfect. Right across the street, along the waterfront is a walking path, and the location is less than a quarter mile from the downtown shopping/dining area. John the host was very friendly and accommodating. He was very easy to talk to and offered a lot of advice on the area for dining, history and exploration. Will definitely rent this inn on a return trip
