Parking was excellent and walked everywhere around town and on the Harbor Rail Trail. Short direct ride to Plum Island where we spent an entire afternoon on trails and to beaches. Loved the fall colors! Meals were excellent at FishSide, and Michael’s for Baked Haddock Friday Special. Just a short getaway but took our time coming and going to enjoy the autumn season.

Walking trail boat side around the harbor. Lovely walki!

Highly Recommend

We loved our stay and were so happy we chose the Compass Rose. The suite was spacious and comfortable. The location was wonderful, within easy walking distance of everything but tucked away behind a lovely courtyard so it was quiet and private. We loved the bunny rabbit that visited the courtyard :-) Fresh baked cookies, port, and other treats were in constant supply. Addison and Kenzie were so helpful, professional, and friendly. The breakfast was very good and nicely done. We would love to stay here again.
