    Anne and Chuck were great hosts from when we arrived with Chuck helping us with our luggage up the flight of stairs to when we left this quaint and nice B & B. Our room was nice and comfortable, and air-conditioned, and breakfast was nice too. We will definitely consider staying here again when we travel back to Newburyport. Thank you very much Anne and Chuck from Karen and Mike in Dallas, Texas.

    Newburyport is an amazing town and 167 Water Street is a pleasant walk to all of it. The hosts were absolutely wonderful: helpful, fun and great hosts. An additional plus is proximity to Plum Island where there is a national wildlife preserve plus wonderful recreational beaches.

    For a trip to the north along the coast we were looking for a family run B&B with close contact to the owners -- and we really found what we were looking for: helpful friendly owners, big breakfast and a lot of interesting stories and many good tips on what to do in the area.

    An Excellent Place

    Newburyport is an energetic, historical city at the junction of the Merrimack River and the Atlantic Ocean. Situated near the center of the city and near the beaches of Plum Island, this B&B is a treasure, brought to a brilliant shine by its hosts, Anne & Chuck.
