This is a beautiful old manor turned inn decades ago with two additional wings to house guests. The original manor has charm and an interesting history. We sat on the veranda for breakfast and looked over the marsh and river towards the harbor. The food was delish! The staff was delightful. We were able to walk into town and the main waterfront within about 10 minutes. The setting could not be more perfect for a quick visit to Gloucester. We will return.

Delightful stay.
They had an easy after hours check in. We stayed two nights. The rooms were clean and spacious. We stayed on a weekend that the Manor was hosting a wedding, it is also an event center/restaurant , so music was going and the parking lot was full when we got back but it didn’t go too late and I was able to move car into a spot after everyone left. We ate at there one morning and the food was good. The chef wife gave us some good place to eat for seafood since we were looking for good seafood! She suggested Minglewood and it was delicious and right in the water! Overall friendly staff and good rooms.

Great location, rooms dated and could benefit from a grounds and facility maintenance update, breakfast was the redeeming feature! Very good buffet and THE BEST home fries and friendly staff, white tablecloths, would have liked cloth napkins. Will come again for breakfast but likely stay somewhere else.

The outdoor seating is cozy and near the ocean. Staff are very friendly. Beds are soft (maybe memory foam?) and the motel room was spacious enough for 2 people.

It’s a lovely quiet place with nice staff. I stayed in the “motel” section and was able to park right in front of my room. The manager could not have been nicer..even letting me check in early. The view of the salt marshes from the rooms private deck was great. The room was not fancy…just clean, comfortable and quiet. I’d stay there again.

I arrived shortly after the 3 PM check-in window. It took nearly 10 minutes to find a staff person so that I could check in. All of the check-in slips for that night sat out openly on a table at the entry. The slips prominently displayed guests’ names, phone numbers, and room numbers. This is a privacy / safety concern. It’s creepy to think anyone arriving before me could’ve grabbed a screenshot of the table and then had my contact information and room number. The room itself had mismatched bed linens on the two beds. The aesthetics of that wouldn’t really have been an issue, but the stains on the bedspreads were. It would’ve been nice to have a couple of chairs and possibly a small table in the room. (There was sufficient floor space for these items.) A couple hangers in the closet also would have been a plus. An iron and ironing board would have been nice too. The bathroom was clean, though it took a very, very long time to get hot water in the shower. My partner went to sit on a bench outside while I checked out. The boards were rotten and one gave out. He was fine, but it was a definite safety hazard, and just one example of how the property seems to be in need of maintenance and repairs.
