We really enjoyed our stay. The bathrooms/showers are small, but that is to be expected from an old historic home. We would definitely stay there again.

Great stay in Rockport
My wife and I had such a great time. Rooms are very clean and comfortable.the two ladies that run the house are so wonderful. Walking distance to downtown and beach would definitely recommend and will be back anytime in Rockport.

Comfortable and close to town
Beach hopping with my wife. Lovely place to stay and as always, remember that when you stay at a historical inn, don’t expect too many modern updates. That said, the upright shower is rather tight but does the job well. The only other thing is that I would have liked a more secure door to the room, maybe an extra latch. The room was cozy and clean. The bed was comfortable. We would definitely stay again!

Quaint lovely house.
Wish they had a breakfast. Bed was super comfortable. Would have loved to meet the owners or someone that worked there. We checked in alone, never saw a soul and left without seeing anyone either. Owner was quick to answer any concerns via text so that was good. I loved it. I’d go back.

Close to everythnig
The inn was wonderful, very clean, and comfortable. The contactless check was my 1st experience doing so, but the directions were easy to follow. Bummer they don't offer breakfast any more, but I understand with the prices of everything going up it's hard for a smaller place to do so.

great location, clean, quaint, but tiny bathroom
Stayed for 2 nights to explore Rockport, Gloucester, and Castle Hill. Great location a few blocks from downtown. Walked to the beach. Disappointed in the size of the bathroom, but very clean and it is an old home. Also disappointed the included breakfast was discontinued and we received coupons for local restaurants. How difficult is it to provide a few baked goods and a coffee tea station in the living room area?

Beautiful inn and fabulous room. Decor is beautiful and feels very luxurious. The host was incredibly accommodating before we arrived. Unfortunately we didn’t get to meet them. Location is great, just minutes walk to shops and restaurants in Rockport. Would definitely stay here again.

Very cozy interior
Amenities were fine (TV, Keurig, fridge)

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Sally Webster. Easy parking and close to central district of Rockport. Well kept property. Our room included a small walk-in shower and small sink, soft but comfortable bed, nice linens, well functioning air conditioning, refrigerator with freezer section, and Kerig unit. You never meet the inn keepers but easily accessible by texting. No longer offer breakfast which was a surprise to us. Very good housekeeping. Only real negative was lack of hot water for showers.

Felt impersonal from a traditional Bed and Breakfast. Breakfast was not that good and room layout did not work well.

We had a wonderful spring visit to Rockport and the Sally Webster was a perfect location for walking into town and exploring. We loved the decor, the comfortable (very soft and squishy!) bed, and the location. The self check-in is easy, and we just missed the end of their breakfast service by a week or so, which was a slight disappointment but more than made up for by the incredible breakfasts we had at the Red Skiff (with a discount from the hotel). The property is unstaffed, but they were very responsive on text.

Lovely room & beautiful decor!
The room was very clean and beautifully decorated. Breakfast had an assortment of choices for us to order ahead and was delivered at 8 am in the hallway for us to enjoy in our room. The coffee was delicious!

This charming quaint house is the ideal getaway! Beautifully decorated, cozy. Perfect that couple weekend trip and not too secluded from convient shopping areas such as salem. I recommend this bed and breakfast! Great service and they respect your privacy. Book a stay and I dare you not to fall in love with it.

The property had a lot of character and was very clean and tidy except for a proper lock on the bathroom. You also needed a degree to get the coffee machine to work which unfortunately we didn't.
Also a bit of a shame that there is not the personal presence on arrival.
Finally our booking in May confirmed a breakfast but a note was left to say that due to rising costs they decided at the end of 2024 to stop that and although not a problem, it should be removed from the agreement.
