Fabulous!
Great stay. Lovely room, fabulous service. One minor gripe~no tea making service in the room. I realise this was available in the breakfast room but I want to be able to drink tea in the privacy of my room without facing the world.

A beautiful property with the charm and feel of Old Town Marblehead. Everything was elegant and perfect. The staff and innkeeper exceptional. A lot of love time and effort have been invested in the Harbor Light Inn and it shows. The best stay we have had hands down. Cannot wait for our return stay.

. Great location in Old Town - walkable to anything. . Very friendly and proactive staff - they all “act like owners”. . Immaculately maintained backyard patio/pool area is a great place to take breakfast or afternoon cocktails, both of which we did and thoroughly enjoyed. . We’ll stay again whenever next in Marblehead.

Beautiful, historic, and clean. The staff was the best part. They were so kind and hospitable. Very professional and Lorelei Gilmore herself would approve. I would note that this Inn is best suited for people of a certain age. My husband and I are in our 30s and wore your typical tee shirt and jeans/shirts outfits and the other guests were snooty and sometimes rude, it felt like geriatric middle school with the snickers and stares at breakfast. We took most of our meals in our room. There was a small group of people that awkwardly hogged the pool area during our week long stay. The pool isn’t very big, so three people spread out makes it crowded. We opted to driving to Devereux beach for swimming. Marblehead is very idyllic and I would still recommend the property itself.
