The Hydrangea Inn - Gloucester, Massachusetts

Mariana Greene

We stayed here several nights in early May. Our room was so comfortable and the breakfasts lavish. The proprietor, Joanie, not only is a solicitous host but also an interesting person. I enjoyed conversing with Joanie in her gracious family home. And meeting her precious Petunia was the highlight. I could be fast friends with Joanie if we lived in the same city.

The Hydrangea Inn is my favorite place to stay in Gloucester. The location is unbeatable --- a few of the Gloucester harbor, and steps away from the Fisherman's Memorial and a short walk to downtown. The rooms at the Inn are large and comfortable, with good showers. The highlight of staying at the Hydrangea Inn is the innkeeper Joan. She's one of the sweetest people I've ever met, and she makes you feel like you're family from the second you walk through the door. Not only is Joan a great storyteller, but she's also an amazing cook, preparing a multi-course breakfast every morning of the stay. One thing is for sure, a stay at the Hydrangea Inn will leave you planning your next visit.

What a magical experience! Miss Joanie is such a lovely hostess. Her home is absolutely gorgeous, spacious, and so clean! We needed all the rooms and we were incredibly blessed at her willingness to accommodate, especially last minute. She took my allergies very serious and provided a breakfast that I could enjoy with my family. Her home is literally a minute walk to the beach and a two minute walk to the Fishermen’s Wife Memorial and the Fisherman Memorial. I can’t express in adequate words just how truly amazing the experience was. We will definitely be back. Miss Joanie is a genuine soul who truly goes above and beyond for her guests. Thank you for taking such great care of our family. We appreciate you! We can’t wait to see you again! Give Miss Petunias snuggles for us!

What a fantastic time we had staying at the Hydrangea Inn. Our hostess Joanie was a ray of sunshine every morning with a delicious breakfast. Located directly across from the water and a 15 minute walk to downtown could not be any better. You will not find a more accommodating inn or hostess than this. Sept 2-4 2023

Beautiful Inn and the most wonderful host. The breakfast was generous, with terrific coffee , loads of delicious fruit and cakes, eggs and more! The bed was very comfortable and thanks to our host Joanie we truly felt at home. A wonderful experience staying here. Highly recommended.

Such a comfy, inviting place.

Joanie was the perfect hostess. So nice and friendly and breakfast was above and beyond. I felt bad I couldn't eat it more.

Right on the harbor near town. Location couldn't be better.

Visit the area often and will definitely be back.

If you want a true New England experience, resting in a lovely room overlooking a beautiful ocean view, while being warmly and courteously hosted, then you want to make sure you stay at Hydrangea Inn! Joanie will welcome you like family, providing outstanding care, superb service, a delicious breakfast and wonderful memories of a delightful stay!

Can't say enough good about the Hydrangea. For starters, we couldn't have asked for a more helpful, friendly, or accommodating hostess. Joan was always ready with suggestions for places to explore, restaurants to try, or simply how to get around. The inn itself was charming, and our room was very homey and comfortable. We'll definitely plan on staying at the Hydrangea if ever we find ourselves again visiting Gloucester.
