Great time @ the Harborview Inn

WONDERFUL - We stayed at the Harborview for our granddaughters wedding. The staff (family run business) was great and our view was amazing. I would definitely recommend staying here. We truly enjoyed our brief visit.

Great stay

This is a very special property. Quaint, right on the water, owned and operated by John Orlando and wife. He is a very interesting host, lifetime resident and interesting to get to know. I highly recommend a stay here. Room was just right.

We really like the location and view. We were able to walk to restaurants and the walkway across the street was beautiful for miles. I also really like the owners as they were so accommodating and helpful.

Lovely inn

Excellent location (and not just for the views). John was very friendly as was the wonderful skipper. Old English charm in the US!
Shivani, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved our stay at Harborview Inn! Right on the water in Gloucester, beautiful views, easy to get to the train, and great rooms and service. John was a delight to talk to and very helpful with suggestions about the area. The only thing that could have made it better for me would be fruit at breakfast, but the pastries served were delicious. I would absolutely stay at Harborview again if I am ever in Gloucester!
Dillon, 3-night trip

Host could not be more pleasant. Across the road from the promenade and 5 mins walk to many excellent restaurants. Great common front room for breakfast & relaxing.

This beautiful home was located right across the street from the harbor with a wonderful view and the owner, John, was a wonderful host. We look forward to returning to place.
