Briar Barn Inn

Rowley

10/10 Excellent

Great staff, beautiful aesthetic and charming. We happened upon the Briar Barn looking for a quaint place to sleep for the night. This place was beyond our expectations and we are already planning another visit, with friends, to stay and see the sights of the area. We are New Yorkers and were so impressed by they service, the cleanliness, the vibe, the amenities and the space. We will come back and recommend to others.

The Vista

East Gloucester

10/10 Excellent

I wasn't expecting much when I booked with Vista, but as soon as I got there I was impressed. The staff was friendly and made you feel welcome and took the time to explain everything you needed to know while staying there. Our room was a little dated, but it was spacious, and very clean! I love to travel and I have to say it was one of the cleanest places I've stayed at. When I booked I was concerned about the view I would be getting based off of others reviews...but I was pleasantly surprised...

The Silsbee House was conveniently located to most things we wanted to do in Salem. It was also fantastically clean! We stayed in the Rajah room and it was beautiful. The bed was also very comfortable. I appreciated the attention to detail. I also loved that Beekman 1802 products were in the shower. I have sensitive skin and their products don't irritate me. The only thing that would made it more comfortable would have been a place to put my soap bar in the shower and a place to lay out my...

Clark Currier Inn

Newburyport

10/10 Excellent

I absolutely LOVED staying here! My room was wonderful. I had THE BEST nights sleep! The bed was awesome. The innkeepers are wonderful and tremendously accommodating. The ‘continental breakfast’ was way more extensive. So very nice. And the location is in the heart of Newburyport, making it easy to walk everywhere. This area is so very lovely and I’m grateful I discovered this Inn! I hope to return again someday! I highly recommend Clark Currier Inn.
