. 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.

Restive retreat
Just overnight for a short stay. This hotel has a bnb vibe. It's a restored 1729 building with good-sized clean rooms. It's quirky, with narrow stairs to each floor (no elevators). There's a bar and a couple of public guest areas. it's in the middle of historic Marblehead, so everything's within a short walk. Staff was accommodating in finding places to eat and quickly fixing a heating issue. Wifi is a little slow

Very cozy and comfortable
The building and rooms are beautiful and very well cared for. Staff were all extremely nice and helpful. The spa room has a great tub, cozy fireplace, and very comfy bed. Breakfast is totally decent, though not remarkable. Overall, a great stay.
