We were so glad we picked this Inn, it was perfect in every way, from the comfy bed, to the decor, to the wonderful breakfast. But most of all, Joanie, the host, was friendly, knowledgeable and told us so much about the area! We truly enjoyed our stay, and highly recommend it!

Joan is an absolute peach, her rooms are kept very clean and has many little extra touches not seen in chain inns. Joan makes you feel like you have been part of her family all along even if it's the first time meeting you. Do yourself a favor and stay here, the park across the street is something to explore!!

Joanne was the perfect hostess. I couldn’t of been more pleased with this rental. She claims only a continental breakfast but went on to prepare rice how much for quiche. She offered many insights into Gloucester, as well as dining and tourist recommendations. She was there to greet us when we came in. She made sure we had a parking spot right in front of her home. The bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. I will definitely stay in the same place. Should we go back to Gloucester.

Very attentive and flexible hostess. The Hydrangea Inn is a little gem of a place and it's owner a gem of a person. Joan is well travelled and happy to share her adventures with you, but only if you want to lend an ear . She is respectful of your privacy and had you treat her home as yours

Joanie was an amazing host. She opened her beautiful family home to a bed and breakfast. She greeted us outside when we arrived, had a parking spot reserved right in front and showed us to our room. In the morning she prepared an amazing, healthy, delicious breakfast. She is quite personable and we enjoyed sitting with her and chatting over breakfast. If you would prefer your privacy, she respects that. The location is perfect Beautiful water view from our room and a 15 minute walk to town. The hydrangea Inn was truly a special find for us and we will be returning.

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.

Fabulous Place
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 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.
