We can’t say enough about our stay with Joanie and Petunia! Joanie is an amazing host! She doted on us like we were family. She went above and beyond to accommodate my food allergies. She entertained us with stories from her life’s journey. She was just a text away if we needed anything. Her home is beautiful! We can’t wait to stay there again! Thank you Joanie for a great few day getaway! See you soon!

So delicious, and she waited on us, serving us like we were family. She was also a wealth of knowledge and information about the community and the best, fastest way to get to the airport amid morning traffic! Thank you, Joanie!!

This bed and breakfast exceeded every expectation! The location was perfect — close to everything yet peaceful and relaxing. The home itself is a beautiful historic property full of character and charm. Every detail was thoughtfully maintained, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The breakfast was absolutely amazing — fresh, delicious, and clearly made with care. The hospitality was outstanding; the host made us feel genuinely welcome and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect.

Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort, history, and true hospitality. We can’t wait to come back!

The location was perfect and we were able to easily get to Salem and other surrounding areas. The view of the ocean was amazing as well. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a wonderful bed and breakfast spot in a beautiful town.

Having travelled all the around the world, I can honestly say this has been one of my favourite and most memorable stays. Although listed as a hotel, the Hydrangea feels more like an exclusive homestay. Joanie is the perfect host: she’s so warm, welcoming, and friendly – and, as other guests have already said, her breakfasts are absolutely delicious.

The rooms are comfy, cozy, and quirky. The location is a short drive or 10-15 minute walk to Gloucester centre along a beautiful seafront path.

While everything about the Hyrdrangea is lovely and comfortable, it was Joanie who made our stay such a memorable one. She even allowed a couple of our friends to join for breakfast for one morning!

Our stay with Joan exceeded our expectations, from the proximity to the seaglass beach across the street, to the lovely easy walk along the water to the large state beach…the charming eclectic decor… enjoying Joan’s stories about her curated collections and whimsical finds..the lavish breakfasts & treats…it was a breath of fresh sea air combined with the best conversation & food & the treasure hunt for sea glass that made for an unforgettable weekend!

The house has the depth of history, a history of human spirit, the spirit of honor, service, kindness, and human heart to heart connection. My wife and I stayed for three days. We not only enjoyed physical comfort and relaxation, but also felt spiritually enriched as we saw the richly decorated house, heard many inspiring stories about the history of the people lived in the house and experienced the genuine care of the hostess. It’s a soul-touching experience indeed!

The room was spacious, well lit and cozy. The morning breakfast was outstanding! It was so complete I didn't have lunch the entire week I stayed at the Inn. The bathroom was also very clean, well decorated, and conveniently located next to the bedroom. The mini-fridge had chocolates, water, soda and seltzer at no extra charge.
Joannie, the owner, is a fantastic host. She has lived all over the world (Greece, Turkey, Argentina, Uruguay, LA, Boston, to name a few) In her fundraising work at Harvard and USC, she met many, many interesting people and has great stories to tell. The breakfast conversations we had were so interesting I had remind myself to visit the relatives I flew 3000 miles to see.
I unconditionally recommend the Hydrangea Inn!

She offered many insights into Gloucester, as well as dining and tourist recommendations. She was there to greet us when we came in. She made sure we had a parking spot right in front of her home. The bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. I will definitely stay in the same place. Should we go back to Gloucester.

Joanie was an amazing host. She opened her beautiful family home to a bed and breakfast. She greeted us outside when we arrived, had a parking spot reserved right in front and showed us to our room. In the morning she prepared an amazing, healthy, delicious breakfast. She is quite personable and we enjoyed sitting with her and chatting over breakfast. If you would prefer your privacy, she respects that. The location is perfect Beautiful water view from our room and a 15 minute walk to town.

Great location within Gloucester and a good option if you’re on a budget. But property was run more like a casual AirBnB than an inn. Was not clear from the listing that our bathroom would be separate from our room and was not entirely private. Also we nearly got locked into the bathroom when the knob kept coming off the door.
