We had a great stay last October. We had a lovely apartment, John, our host was very helpful, he tried to get us on a whale watching ride. The house is very old fashioned in a great way. Comfortable, clean and with this kind of romantic chic I always wanted to stay for a nigth. Our sleeping room was a... More

We stayed with John in 2010 and had the most amazing stay, I wish we had spent longer there. Gloucester was a lovely town and our welcome was second to none. I am sure we will visit again and hope that it will not be too far away. The room was comfortable and the breakfast delicious.

Perfectly situated, very friendly staff, nice room with comfortable bed and a terrific view over the sea. The furnishing is not really in my favourite style, but it is all cost and it Is New England and everything else is superb - the breakfast included.

As B&B fans, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our overnight at the Harborview. The sense of peace and friendliness you get when visiting a seaside town off season cannot be understated and Gloucester completely charmed us. The Harborview is perfectly situated to allow an easy walk to shops, restaurants and the beach. John, our host, is gracious and friendly,... More

My wife and I stayed for a night as we were travelling up the coast from Boston. I can only echo all the positive comments - great location (10 minutes walk to 7 Seas Whale Watching and restaurants), very friendly welcome, excellent breakfast, comfortable room.

The Harborview Inn is a beautiful old home facing the Gloucester Harbor. The harbor walk and the Fisherman’s Memorial are across the street. The Inn and rooms are clean and well appointed. The inn keeper is eager to help plan attractions and restaurants. We had a wonderful time during our visit. Go on a whale watching tour and eat lots... More

We enjoyed the convenience of parking one time and then walking to shops, restaurants and Seven Seas Whale Watch. The view of the harbor from our room and from the front porch was... More

We had a lovely stay at the Harborview Inn. Within walking distance to nice restaurants. Quick drive to Good Harbor Beach and Rockport. Amazing, view of the Harbor while relaxing on the front porch. The Inn is spotless. John, the host, is very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. This was very helpful to us. When traveling to New England... More

We have stayed here the last 2 summers and plan on coming back for years to come. John, the owner, is such a friendly and warm person that you feel comfortable and at home as soon as you step in the door. Nothing beats having freshly brewed coffee and pastries on the porch, while enjoying fun conversations with John and... More
