Their check-in process was pleasant. Our room was beautiful and had all the special touches you don’t necessarily see at other places. The grounds are also beautiful! We are already planning our next stay 🙂

We liked that we were right on the ocean and could see the tide come in and out. Also, it was fun to watch the lobster fishermen harvest their catch. The staff was very accommodating and the breakfast was first rate. We would like to come back sometime.

Yankee Clipper B&B

Staff was excellent friendly helpful. Breakfast was also excellent Room was clean except for 1 pillow case and the box of tissues was empty. Tom was quite small and not enough electrical outlets.(only 1side of the bed could plug in phone chargers) Views of the sea are Gorgeous Place is a bit far from the town so you need to drive

We had a wonderful stay at the Yankee Clipper Inn. The location is amazing. The building is full of charm. The breakfast is fantastic. And the hospitality by from the manager Mike can't be beat. We stayed across the street at the Bull Finch house and still had an amazing view. We walked to town (about 1.25 miles). You get beautiful views and close ups of some very nice homes. We will definitely go back.

The management & staff were exceptional in every sense of the word. Everyone was attentive, helpful, professional & courteous. Actually they were a fun group. The only situation we were uncomfortable with concerned the rate of decent of the stairs leading to our room. That being said the view from the room made it worth while. We will definately return but request a rppm on the main lodge. EAD

We truly enjoyed our stay at The Yankee Clipper Inn. We stayed in the Quarterdeck Inn that’s next to the larger Inn. Our room overlooked the ocean. It felt like we were on a cruise ship - it looked that close. The room was spacious with a really nice sitting area where you can view the ocean. The room was clean, comfortable with a small but updated bathroom. The Inn was very quiet and well maintained. Parking is close but keep in mind you have a manage down a granite stairway to get to the Inn. Each morning we walked over to the Yankee Clipper for breakfast. The staff there were amazing. Super friendly, and can handle anything you need. Mike at the front desk (I assume is the owner or manager) Is great. The made to order breakfasts were delicious. The grounds are breathtaking - walkways, patios, cliffs, sunrise views - all beautiful. We loved every minute there. The area around the Inns are so much fun - its about a 15 min walk (or a 3 min drive) to the main town but well worth it and easier than I expected. The town has tons of shops, a couple beaches and many restaurants to check out. The city of Gloucester is just a few mins drive and worth the visit. Be sure to drive up Halibut Point State Park while you’re in Rockport. I am usually ready to head home after a vacation week - but I wished we could have stayed longer!

Spectacular ocean views in traditional inn

The Inn has a wonderful spot right next to the ocean. We stayed in an ocean view room with balcony (Neptunes Car) in the Quarter Deck House. The views were spectacular from an almost floor to ceiling window as well as from the private deck. Booking through hotels.com gets you reward nights but you cannot choose the room you want. Typically allocated on arrival. I had already looked on the inn’s website and Mike graciously agreed to my choice. He did recommend contacting the hotel directly in future to discuss the many room options and rates. Breakfast was plentiful with a good selection of pastries, fruit/yogurt, cereals and juices. There is also a made to order selection of hot breakfast choices also and plenty of free flowing coffee and tea. In the quarterdeck house there was a communal fridge and microwave for guest use. The room was spotless and helpful it had an iron/ironing board also. It has a massive tv that you can stream online services like Netflix. This is a traditional Inn set between 3 different old buildings so please expect the floors to creak a bit and the furnishings/decor to be in keeping. You will find interesting old furnishings and rustic charm rather than modern interiors/minimalist design. The bed was very comfy and linens had high threadcount. Shame no duvet just sheet and blanket but thats personal preference Bear in mind no food other than breakfast and no bar. However, Rockport is only 30 minute walk or 5 min drive.

Something that was said at the desk made me believe we were given one of the worst rooms due to booking with a third party. Tiny room divided bath with tiny shower with hard to use faucet that made it easy to burn yourself. Place felt and looked dusty. Loved the setting view and food service and most of the staff except grumpy manager.

In general, my wife and I were very pleased with our stay at the Yankee Clipper Inn. We had a lovely room in the Quarterdeck House with a fine view of the ocean through a large window. All the rooms in the inn seem to be different. Ours had no balcony, others did. We had an ocean view, others didn't. The air conditioning in our room worked very well, thankfully. One of the days we were there was beastly hot and the A/C was a life saver.The included breakfasts in the main building were very nice. There is one concern that should be addressed however. My wife and I are elderly but not handicapped. A handicapped person would have a very difficult time staying in the Quarterdeck House. To get to the house you must walk down what I thought was a rather steep set of stairs and then a steep pathway down to the entrance. The real problem was in order to get into the main part of the inn for breakfast, for example, you could not cross over the expansive lawn. There is another house not owned by the inn between the two buildings of the inn and you are not allowed to walk across that lawn. That means that to go to breakfast from the Quarterdeck house to the Yankee Clipper, you have to walk up a steep pathway and then up steep stone stairs, then walk along the road and then down a long steep driveway.It was tough enough for us; I don't know how a handicapped person could manage all that. That said, we still had a good time. My advice is choose your room carefully.

The hotel has a very good location! It's private to have a beautifull view in the garden to the village & you can walk to the center! We really loved the breakfast in the veranda and were helped by the most sweet host Pamm. The pancakes were really amazing, as was the chef for telling us his preparation method. :-D
