Addison Choate

We stayed in the Carriage House for Valentine's Day and it was an absolutely perfect experience from start to finish. Marshall is an exceptional host. He sent us a personal welcome video, which immediately set the tone for the stay. The room was spotless and waiting for us with champagne and chocolate-covered pretzels from a local chocolate shop. That thoughtful, personal touch made all the difference. The Carriage House itself is charming, private, and beautifully appointed. Every detail was 5 stars, cleanliness, comfort, ambiance, location. Marshall clearly takes enormous pride in what he does and it shows in every aspect of the experience. If you're to feel genuinely taken care of, look no further.

Our winter stay at the Addison Choate Inn was exactly the romantic getaway my husband and I needed. Rockport is so peaceful this time of year, and the inn made it easy to slow down, reconnect, and truly relax. The location could not be better. You are just steps from Motif #1, the harbor, and some of the best little coffee shops and local boutiques in town. It is also a perfect home base for exploring the rest of the North of Boston region, with easy drives to other coastal towns, scenic spots, and charming downtowns. Inside, the inn is incredibly cozy, beautifully maintained, and spotless. The decor feels warm and inviting, with thoughtful design details that make it feel special without being fussy. I like this feeling because sometimes inns might be too fussy and you can't feel at home, but this one was perfect! Everything from the guest rooms to the common spaces felt clean, comfortable, and well cared for. You can tell there is real pride in the property and in the guest experience. From a hospitality standpoint, this is the kind of place that delivers on all the things travelers hope for: a peaceful atmosphere, comfortable beds, quiet nights, and welcoming hosts. It is romantic, relaxing, and full of classic New England charm. If you are looking for a winter escape that feels intimate, walkable, and perfectly situated on the coast, this inn is a wonderful choice.

This was my first time staying at Addison Choate and it won’t be the last! The gorgeous rooms are thoughtfully decorated and each one is different than the next, the common areas are no different. It’s clear that Courtney and Marshall have poured their hearts into designing the space to make it welcoming for everyone. I stayed in the crows nest room which was flooded with natural light and fun decor. The room had two tv’s in separate spaces, a coffee maker, and a welcome basket with waters, tea, coffee, and other treats. I can’t even begin to tell you how comfortable the beds are! The location, amenities, and cleanliness of this stay will absolutely keep me coming back again and again, thank you for the perfect winter retreat!

The building's interior and exterior were adorable and the furnishings were lovely! Great vibe and easy check in with excellent amenities! Parking was a little difficult but we have no complaints! Can't recommend it enough

This is a beautiful inn, decorated in a stylish way. Our room on the second floor was very comfortable with the coffee/tea and fridge appreciated. Towels and robes were great quality. Bedding was very comfortable and lighting good. Shower was great (you can adjust if short). We were given good texted instructions on a self-check-in by the inn-keeper, although did not get to meet them. The inn no longer offers breakfast (which we learned upon reading a letter on our bed), but there were a couple of small diners on the waterfront for breakfast that were still open in the off-season (which apparently started Oct 15). If you plan to travel with much luggage, as we did on a 2-week New England driving trip, ask for a ground floor room. The spiral stair to our room was hard to use with a couple larger suitcases. All in all a good experience however. It's a charming place.

We enjoyed our late October two night stay at this 19th century, beautifully decorated inn. Some friends had stayed here previously and said it was a really charming BnB. We thought so also. The only disappointment was no breakfast included, but to be fair, it was not confirmed specifically to us via email and it's advertised now without the BnB behind the name (I noticed this later though). The walk is only 3-4 blocks into town for enjoying small eateries, so no big deal and we liked the small town diner breakfasts there, as well as a couple of dinners. The bed and bedding were so comfortable along with reading light on the night stands. Enjoyed the coffee /tea in the room and fridge. The shower is mighty but can be adjusted if you are short. Plenty of room for stuff on the bath room counter. We did not get to meet the inn-keeper, Marshall, but he sent us a welcoming text as we were driving from central MA with all the self-check-in details. The only thing that was a bit hard was getting our luggage up the spiral stair, but we managed. Had I known, I would have asked for a ground floor though.

An absolutely fabulous stay. We were greeted warmly and felt welcomed immediately. Only had the chance fo stay one night, wish we would've booked for longer. The shower was great, the bed was so comfortable, it felt like sleeping on a cloud, and overall we had a wonderful stay. I absolutely recommend this place for anyone traveling to the Rockport area.

Had a great stay in the Dog Watch room at Addison Choate. This was a two story place with living/kitchenette on first floor, and bedroom and bath on second. The decor was very creative, with updated and modern kitchenette and bath. The bath had a shower that reminded us of a phone booth but all glass. Lol! Bed was very comfortable, and host was always responsive with a little welcoming basket to greet us. The downstairs had a small patio with chairs but they faced the parking lot, so really not very useful except to load and unload. The stairs inside were very steep so, although the living area provided light, a light on the stairs would have been helpful. The outside was also very cute, and located within walking distance of town, which was what I wanted. I would definitely stay here again.

We just LOVE this place! Not only are the rooms beautiful and luxuriously comfortable, the service from the owners , Marshall & Courtney, and the hospitality is beyond gracious, fun and lovely! Not a stone is left unturned. My husband and I live in Boston area, but love staycations, as New England has so many amazing places to visit and overnight. Addison Choate is on our very favorites list. And I don't mean to jump on another posters review, but Rita, your story sounds like you wrote in the heat of the moment. Don't be that person who can destroy someone's business and livelihood because you're angry.

Really? the gift basket was free? You didn't charge me $150 for the gift basket? glad to hear that, I'll be sure to show this to my credit card company which clearly shows I paid $150. I paid for 5 days for over $900 and you give me 2 days? That's ridiculous. I paid a deposit and I knew the deposit was an issue so when you offered 2 days I said that's fair for the deposit, not the entire amount. This was a honeymoon Gift for my brother whos wife became really really ill. She's still deathly sick in bed. Skip these shitty places (your reviews clearly show bait and switch, rooms and food suck and no transportation which is stated on all the other booking sites). Stay at a hotel, cleaner and more considerate.

Beautiful place to stay that was located walking distance to shops and restaurants. The breakfast they provide is delicious and when you're on the go they ensure to provide a to-go option where everything is packed away so cute.

Absolutely loved our stay this weekend! The small touches are everything- most comfortable bed, candy bowls throughout the inn, cozy blankets and robes in the room, clean, and eclectic. I wish all hotels were this fantastic! Breakfast in the morning was yummy. The perfect mix of hotel/b&b. Please expand to more locations!!

So cute! Very friendly, clean & funky. Loved our little getaway in Rockport. Walk to everything!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Addison Choate this past weekend. The location was easy to find, and it was within walking distance to restaurants, shops, and the beach. The decor/design style is gorgeous- I want to live there! So many thoughtful touches, and Marshall was onsite to help us if we needed anything while we were there. They set the bar- we will certainly be seeking out boutique bed & breakfasts/hotels when we travel now!

What a charming inn! Impeccably clean. I love the eclectic vibe of nautical, Americana and whimsy. Reservations were easy, communication great. Easy walk to downtown Rockport. We enjoyed the Christmas tree lighting that Innkeeper Marshall told us about. Enjoyed a delicious warm scone for breakfast. We ate in one of the little nooks on the first floor. Highly recommend!

We booked this last minute night away and we were able to get the last room available, cut and run. Such an adorable place. The owner, Marshall, was welcoming and kind. He helped us with our bags and showed us to our room. Room was meticulous, updated and had an essential oil diffuser. Shower was the perfect pressure and temperature. Little candies and treats at the entrance and in the room. Morning breakfast was generous and packaged into bags for us. LOVED this place and would come back in a heartbeat.

I was doubtful of a place that had nothing but 5* reviews but as a picky traveler who's OCD when it comes to cleanliness, we wanted to give this place a try. We had so many bad experiences lately staying at airbnbs so we thought we'd try a family own bnb. This place lives up to the other reviews. Marshall the owner was so nice and so helpful with any questions and recommendations. We stayed in the Wide Berth room and it was exactly as it looked in the pics on their website. The breakfast was great. The room was SO clean. It is in a great location, just a short walk to downtown. Even on a cold winter day it was so nice and so quaint. Can't wait to come back and try another room here. Would absolutely recommend.

One of the nicest places we have stayed. The attention to detail was amazing. Cozy, charming, comfortable. The owners were fantastic and you can tell they love this property. The breakfast was delicious and we appreciated that they catered to a gluten food allergy. Walking distance to everything. This is a rare gem that I would honestly prefer to keep to myself but also want to spread the word because it is simply wonderful.

Beautiful, clean, friendly, and easy check-in/out process. This place is great for an Inn. I usually don't like staying in Inn's but this place you can tell has younger owners. The common areas are beautifully decorated, they have a decent record collection and candy is scattered throughout the place. Makes you feel like a little kid. The room was really comfortable, my only suggestion is a new air conditioner because the window unit was old, loud, and not very efficient. We will be back.

What a great time in Rockport Massachusetts and such a cozy and warm welcome At Addison choate ! Marshall was so Conscientious and was very attentive! The beds were so cozy and the rooms were very clean ! The perfect location to walk into town and shop and dine ! The bikes they had on sight gave us the option to explore around ! The breakfast was dynamite and delicious! The little bowls of candy around the house felt like home especially the little package of gushers !! Overall I loved this place and would highly recommend! Only thing I would say is if you are all girls in one room there isn't enough Mirrors lol definitely book this place !

Found this business online while looking for a place to stay in Rockport on a weekend. I couldn't be happier that I chose this establishment. Where do I begin? There is a unique boutique vibe, within walking distance to the art/wharf district. Ideal place to stay if you want to feel as if you are home away from home. Home made pastries don't hurt either; Marshall bakes fab scones!

My wife and I stayed at the Inn in early December, 2020 for just one night, but had an amazing stay; a perfect, restful night and day away from the kids. Located about a 5 minute walk from the famous Rockport Wharf, the entire space of this boutique hotel has been renovated in the past year - but it's retained its period charm. There are spacious, comfortable sitting rooms with private nooks in the common area, and the room we stayed in (Wide Berth) was beautiful: high ceilings, full windows, lots of space. The king sized bed (new) and downy comforter were incredibly comfortable and made it hard to leave the room. The bathroom was completely new and comfortable as well. Everything about the room itself was charming and welcoming. Breakfast was a selection of cold items -- plentiful and unlimited choices - and the owner, Marshall, was very relaxed and easygoing about check-in and check-out times. If you're looking for modern conveniences with historical charm, this is the place.

Review- Addison Choate is tucked away off Broadway just blocks away from downtown Rockport. A perfect location, walking distance to Bearskin Neck. The inn was recently redone - and it's incredibly thoughtful in design and amenities that bring comfort to a stay away from home. In addition, the entire inn is exceptionally clean. A plush bed with luxurious pillows and linens, Pendleton decor and a coordinated Persian rug. The wall hangings are curated to the room's theme - and there was so much space to arrange all my traveling stuff; plenty of hooks and drawers and ledge and even socially distant spaces sprinkled around to work. The cuteness is matched with the warmth of the inn keeper, Marshall. He was more than patient and accommodating when I had to make several changes to my itinerary, helping me extend my stay and also upgrading my room. He also provided a bike to get around the town, suggestions for the best local fare, and hospitality that a friend or family would offer. Each morning they provided a breakfast bag with an lovely selection of goodies; all curated in cute little jars... homemade granola, fresh fruit, juices, coffee, and perfectly hard- boiled eggs (that peeled so easily!)... homemade scones too, baked fresh every morning, delicious. Well done Marshall and thank you, Addison Choate. Can't wait to be back.

This boutique hotel is the cutest hotel I have ever stayed at in my life! We stayed in the suite and the room was so cute and modern. They provide everything you need to have the most comfortable stay! For breakfast you choose from a cute menu and put it out the night before and they make little breakfast bags for you to pick up. Literally a 5 minute walk to the little local beach. The hotel owners are super sweet. Noted that this was in collaboration with the hotel but all opinions of this place are my own. I would 100% recommend staying here and supporting small business owners. They have on site parking one spot per room and they have free overnight parking in front of the building. It is also walking distance to a cute town with loads of shopping!! The sunsets are beautiful as well!! There are common areas of the hotel that have the cutest photo ops and you are welcome to use the common space kitchen. This is a perfect hotel for you and your friends to have a getaway vacation! Hope you will enjoy it as much as I did!

This was in certain ways the best start to our road trip we could have asked for and in other ways the worst... Simply because everything else has to now live up to their standard. Jen and Ted were outstanding hosts who have great tips on what to do, were over the top helpful and so easy to talk to. They've thought of every detail to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Rockport itself was such a lovely little town and their place is in the perfect location to experience it.

This Bed and Breakfast located in Rockport was just everything you could have asked for in a weekend getaway. From Boston, Rockport is easy to get to; its an hour and twenty or so minutes Commuter Rail ride from North Station. We get a little lost when we got off the train and we called our B&B host to ask which way we should've gone. Ed (the host), says he'll be right there to pick us up! The walk is literally five minutes at most from the Commuter Rail station to the Inn, so we had no problem walking back to the train station when we left. We requested an oceanview room, and although it wasn't seaside at all, you did get a nice view of the ocean over rooftops. The room was a suite on the 3rd floor of the Inn, with a full-sized bed in one room, your own private bath, there was an air-condition unit we didn't use, and also an extra single bed in a separate room great for a friend or a child. Beautifully furnished and wonderful. Addison Choate is about 5 or 6 blocks, so a 5-10 minute walk, from all the little shops, galleries, and restaurants on the shore. The bedsheets were by far THE MOST AMAZING I have ever slept on, and they had discreet turn-down services in the afternoon. Everything was spotless and comfortable. The continental breakfast was pretty tasty, they had yummy looking home-baked afternoon snacks, and you literally just felt right at home. Highly reccommended for a weekend getaway in the fall, since rates also go down in these months. Rockport itself gets iffy in the off-season evenings; we only found a couple places walking distance for dinner on the weekend, unless we were missing something. Peak season is April to September. The Inn was about $130 a night with taxes, which is great for the comfort you're getting. I slept like a leetle baby. I'm so going back.

We really enjoyed our stay at this B&B! Jen and Ted are fantastic hosts, the inn is very well kept and decorated, our room was very comfortable, and the location perfect! And the bay tour was so much fun! Pulling lobster traps was awesome! For our first visit to Rockport, I don't think we could have stayed at a better place! I highly recommended this place!

We stayed at this B&B for just one night but had a great time. The linens are amazing and the bed was very comfortable. The manager was very hospitable and was very willing to answer questions about the area. We had a great breakfast that was more than your standard cereal/muffins/coffee/juice. We would recommend this B&B to our friends and family.

Much love goes out to the Inn Keepers at The Addison! We stayed here on our wedding night and it was fantastic. The crows nest room is large and overlooks the church we were married in. It could not have been more perfect for us. The breakfast was amazing the next morning too!

SOOOO adorable, cozy, welcoming, delicious! Jen and Ted are wonderful innkeepers. Can only imagine what this place feels like on a snowy winter night!!!! Will be coming back for sure!!

The house was really nicely decorated. Details are really taken care of. You can have free coffee and tea downstairs at any time, borrow some cds... The room was very, very cozy. King size bed was best. All the amenities you need are in the bathroom. Breakfast was also great. Yummy quiche, bacon, sweet cakes, cereals, fruit salad, several types of bread besides the toaster, orange juice, coffee and tea (I have forgotten something, for sure). The owner was really nice, friendly and helpful. Walking distance of the town center. I will definitely go back when I go to Rockport again.

My friends and I stayed at this fabulous B&B this past weekend. The rooms were spacious and spotless. The decor was homey and comfortable. Jen and Ted (our hosts) were so nice and shared many good ideas of things to do and restaurants to go to. We had a wonderful hot breakfast the 2 days we were there, I am a vegetarian and my friend is gluten free, they were able to make substitutions to make us both happy! I would recommend this B&B to everyone!

We visited the Inn Oct 2009 and had a great time! The inn keeper was very hospitable and the rooms were comfy! We enjoyed the living area as there were board games to play and enjoy the night. The inn is within walking distance of the cute downtown area of Rockport. Great trip!

Wonderful ! Went to Rockport with three feet of snow on the ground and air temp of 20 degrees to attend a music performance. With the fireplace warming the front parlor the owners, Jen and Ted, were awaiting our arrival and heartily welcomed us. Our room was spacious, excellently appointed and extremely comfortable. The coffee, tea, cookies and full breakfast were perfect. Walking distance to all the shops and galleries in town. Looking forward to scheduling a return visit to Rockport and the Addison Choate Inn.
