Absolutely charming!
What a treat it was to stay at the Hydrangea Inn. Joan was a gracious hostess who made us feel right at home. The breakfast was delicious and a great time to ask Joan questions about the area. She was a wealth of knowledge and an interesting lady? Oh, and the view of the bay was a bonus we didnt expect! We would certainly stay here again.

The most gracious host we have ever been blessed to meet. She doesn’t rent rooms, she honors and warms guests into her home. All the positive reviews are completely warranted. Incredible stay!

An absolutely beautiful historic home with wonderful pieces of art. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and clean. The breakfast was amazing. Wonderful quiche, muffins, ham, fruit, and more.

We really enjoyed staying at this property and expecially enjoyed the hospitality of the owner. This is a beautiful, historic property within walking distance of downtown Gloucester. The owner served an outstanding breakfast each morning. We will stay at this B&B on our next visit to the area.
