Sally Webster Inn

The ambiance of the Sally Webster Inn is lovely, as were our hosts. We enjoyed speaking with other guests at breakfast, which led to altering our plans to visit the lovely town of Essex, the antiques capital of the area. We had a wonderful visit!

Great location, short walk down hill to shops, great breakfasts, owners very friendly, room very clean, bed fine,but bathrooms are very small. Enjoyed weekend very much and would return to the Sally Webster House.

We loved our stay at the Sally Webster Inn. It was withing walking distance of downtown Rockport and local beaches. Our hosts were great. They had good suggestions for restaurants, etc., and were very friendly. The breakfasts were wonderful too . . . baked goods, quiches, etc. We would definitely go back.

Unforgetable service and friendliness. Both Innkeepers could not have done more to make our stay great. Breakfast was delicious with good variety each day. Nice outdoor dining option that we loved to do every morning and afternoon. Room was so nice and clean. Very good location. Loved every part of our stay.

We had a wonderful, relaxing weekend at the Sally Webster Inn. The room was beautiful, clean, and comfortable, breakfast was excellent, and Suzan and Dean were extremely helpful, friendly, and accommodating. We could not have asked for a better trip, and highly recommend the Sally Webster Inn. We hope to come to Rockport again soon!

I stayed at the Sally Webster with my mother for one week during the Halloween holiday. Susan and Dean were exceptional hosts! They really went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The house was beautiful, the room was charming, the food was delicious, and all so close to town, it was a breeze! Even Woodstock the cat was welcoming! I'd recommend the Sally Webster Inn to anyone who is planning a trip to Rockport, and if we ever make it that way again, I know where we'll be staying!

The owners were very friendly and helpful. We plan on resturning soon.

I love staying at the Sally Webster. The rooms are charming and always just right. Dean and Suzan are excellent hosts. And an added bonus, it's convenient and close to town. I can't wait to go back!

Location was perfectly central to walk around town and for site seeing in our car.

My partner and I just stayed at the Sally Webster Inn. We found it charming, the hosts hospitable, the food sumptuous and the location ideal! What more can we say? If you like quiet, quaint getaways in B&B's that feel like you're in your own home, you'll love this inn. The bed was very comfortable (the sheets didn't feel like 'hotel' sheets, but rather my own), the shower BETTER than mine at home (great water pressure!) and ditto about the towels - they felt like my own, not a hotel's that had been over chlorinated, and the laid back atmosphere perfect for a group wanting to spend some quiet time laughing together on the patio or roof deck - or a couple wanting the same. You can easily walk to shopping and dining and a 10 minute drive brings hiking and beaches within reach. The fact that I returned to my room one afternoon to find Woodstock the cat napping on my bed only clinched the deal: I loved it here!

We had a wonderful time during our stay at Sally Webster. Suzan and Dean were gracious hosts, and prepared a delicious breakfast each morning. And we really appreciated the coffee/tea and cookies and fruit that were available throughout the day. Would definitely recommend Sally Webster to anyone visiting Rockport!

We stayed here last year, loved it, and it was equally wonderful this year under new ownership. The innkeepers are incredibly attentive and genial, an ample breakfast was provided, and the rooms are decorated with quaint detail that creates a simple and restful setting.

Room (Caleb's) was beautiful and very comfortable. eakfast was great, especially the apple french toast and apple coffee cake. Coffee/drinks 24 hrs/day. Close to water and shops in Rockport. Great stay and will return when in the area.

Innkeepers were exceptional in friendliness and knowledgeable about the area. Our stay was absolutely great and will make it a point to return. The breakfast was far more than a buffet...it was soooo good!! John and Tillie Elphinstone.

Great place to stay for a reasonable price. The garden is a nice place to relax and a lovely place to eat breakfast. Short walk to the pier where there is a lot of activities to partake in. Splendid location for kayaking.

Thank you for such a wonderful trip! We HIGHLY recommend this B&B! After an extremely stressful year in NYC, we looked spur the moment to get away to a quiet, beautiful, and stress-free environment. The Sally Webster Inn was just the thing we needed. The Inn was absolutely beautiful; the first night we stayed in Rhoda's room, the 2nd night in Prentiss; both were absolutely exquisite. With beautiful four-poster beds, sitting areas to read, and then outside areas in the garden, there was no limit to the relaxation and happiness found here! Innkeepers Suzan and Dean are wonderful! They made us feel so at home, and spoiled us with wonderful breakfasts and snacks; teas and coffees and yogurts as well available anytime! Their kindness and hospitality were much needed, and much appreciated. This is our new favourite place to stay, and we will be back soon! (P.S. You must check out Derby Square Bookstore in Salem!!! Used books, flr. to ceiling!)

Wonderful B&B, great location in Rockport with hosts who work hard and succeed in providing excellent service. Susann & Kevin, Bath UK

The Sally Webster Inn is a lovely Inn with welcoming hosts. We took advantage of the special rates that are offered at this time of the year and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The offerings of beverages and snacks in the diningroom are a nice bonus and the breakfast was delicious. We certainly recommend this Inn and we are sure that it is a great place to stay, no matter what the season is!

I have been visiting this inn for many years. I am happy to report that the new owners are operating in much the same style as the previous owners, wonderful hospitality, very engaging and friendly, and plenty of yummy food for breakfast. Highly recommended.

Convenient to anything you want to do in Rockport. Bed was a little on the hard side for us, a pillow-top on it would have really helped. Afternoon snacks and available coffees / teas were great amenities. Breakfast was good, but addition of bacon or sausage and egg would have made it complete. Stuffed blueberry french toast was great. Overall we would return for a 1-2 night stay.

Hi, Thank you for your review. As we are new owners, we value the opinions of our guests. It would be helpful to know which room you stayed in. Some of the beds do have pillow tops. The suggestion of a meat and egg with the breakfast is a good one. We hope to see you again. We have winter specials until end of April. Please visit our site.

My husband and I were looking for a quiet place to go away for the weekend. This place was wonderful. We will definately stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our December weekend stay at the Sally Webster Inn. The three of us were enthusiastically welcomed, we loved the breakfast, and this location was perfect for all that we planned to do.

Wonderful warm welcome - food was great and enjoyed the company of two other couples - one from Scotland and one from England. Everything you could expect from a first class B&B.

I recently made my tenth all-too-brief visit to the Sally Webster Inn. As usual, everything about the place was perfect: comfortable, immaculate room and common areas; delicious and filling homemade breakfasts; etc. Kathy and John were the consummate hosts I'd found them to be the first time I stayed there. While being attentive to guests' needs - which extends to providing rides to/from the train station - and offering friendly conversation, they're also unobtrusive. You won't get a knock on your door "seeing if everything's OK," for instance. Although removed from the hustle and bustle of Rockport's central business district, you're there on foot quickly. For those who'd just as soon not walk up the small hill the inn is atop, ample parking in back means no worries about having a space free upon return when you take your vehicle out. You can even flag down the local bus right in front. As cozy as the parlor, dining room, and guest quarters are, when the weather allows for it the patio and back yard are also highly conducive to relaxation. Many an unplanned nap has occurred in the shade of the big maple tree! The single issue I have with the Sally Webster Inn is that it's open only during weekends in "slow" months and is shut down entirely for a while in the winter. But the vacation and the reduced scheduling John and Kathy allow themselves are well earned. Absence only makes the heart grow fonder.

The innkeepers,John & Kathy Fitzgerald, couldn't have been more helpful and generous with their hospitality; they provided a different "main course" for each day's breakfast; they have a great knowledge of the delightful Cape Ann area and its restaurants;they have taken great care to furnish the Sally Webster in keeping with its age.We booked for 2 nights and stayed for 7!

We enoyed our stay ath the Sally Webster. We felt welcomed and enoyed our breakfast very very much. I will need to e-mail the Inn for the recipe for the french toast.

First of all the inn keepers were so nice we felt right at home.A very nice homemade breakfast was served every morning, even the coffee was great. We had a nice clean room and just loved the patio space.We are going back this year again.

We spent three nights at the Sally Webster as a homebase for our activities. This is a lovely Inn within walking distance to town. It is located at the top of a hill on the main drag, however. Walking distance is important as parking seems to have the potential to be an issue in town and you have to feed the meters. The Innkeepers, John and Kathy, are very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The hot breakfast each morning was fantastic and we ate on the patio among the gardens (but you could eat in the cozy indoor dining area as well). We enjoyed spinach/feta stratta, apple stuffed french toast, and belgian waffles with strawberries. Each day there was also fruit, yogurt, cereal, toast, bagles, etc. available as well. Our room was bright and cheery, the bathroom was a bit tiny for us but this Inn offers a selection of different sized rooms to choose from. I slept great in the amazingly comfortable king sized bed. We peeked into each room and they all contained gorgeous antiques and were cozy and relaxing. My husband fell asleep in the yard on a lawn chair for two hours one afternoon after a morning of walking on the beach, up to the headlands, and to town for some shopping and lunch. We had a great little vacation.

We enjoyed our stay at the Sally Webster Inn. The innkeepers were hospitable, gracious, and helpful in giving us ideas for sight-seeing and transportation. The delicious breakfasts were served at a beautifully-set table. We would definitely return!

his was my first time to the Sally Webster Inn and all thanks to a friend who picked this spot as his favorite. John and Kathy are very gracious, helpful and accommodating. They really take care of their guests; they make it their priority for the guests to be comfortable. One of the highlights for me was that I felt as though I was visiting family. Stephanie

very neat and clean, excellent place. The two suitcase supports in the closet were invaluable. Wish it was the standard. Charming. Innkeeper was helpful for sights and events.

We recently returned from a wonderful stay at this inn. Kathy and John were gracious hosts, who were warm and inviting without hovering over us. The inn is spotless and located an easy walk from the main area of town. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. If you're going to Rockport, this is a great place to stay.
