"A lovely property with great vibes. I was greeted by a family of geese on my first day and on my final day, a family of rabbits were there for my departure. Parking was surprisingly free and I absolutely enjoyed my stay here."

"Room was nice with sufficient room. Continental breakfast was very good. Wish you had a little more fruit besides green apples and bananas. Staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Bilad when he offered to be our UBER to take us downtown Friday morning for our tour and pick us up. If it wasn’t for him and we drove ourselves we probably wouldn’t have made a flight last night in order to leave to go home before the storm came. Thank you Bilad"

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
You'll often hear the term "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe, while "historic hotel" is a term often used in the U.S. but overall the terms are quite similar. The physical building and architecture of a historic hotel tends to be the most significant aspect. For a heritage hotel, it's often the cultural value and how it influenced the community.
Do historic hotels in Gloucester have modern facilities?
Hotels include modern conveniences and safety features you expect to find, though efforts have been made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions. Private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, free WiFi, and the usual amenities found in most hotels should be available at a historic hotel.
