    We have been staying here for ten years, every fall. This summer too with our nephew. The "Innkeepers" are delightful. Access to the harbor and downtown Rockport is a short walk. The views can be awesome, depending on your room and the pricing is very reasonable. Every room is clean, pretty and tended with care. The Charles Room cannot be outdone for the vista morning and night. Loving care should be the motto here. Thanks for our wonderful stays!!!


    Great stay, great muffins, great hostess

    I come back to the Inn on Cove Hill every summer. It's a very welcoming place and the breakfasts with Betsys homemade muffins are exceptional! Close to everything, a perfect place for a few days away. Trying new years "first night" next year...only at the Inn. Ellen Snyder

    sometimes you get lucky and sometimes blessed, my wife and I got blessed by the peace, comfort and serenity we received from Betsy and her husband. Not many places we stay that we feel totally at home, we found a gem. within minutes the stress we had was swept away like a gentle ocean breeze. Mark jamieson
