Clark Currier Inn

Charming Inn located close enough to shops and restaurants but in a quieter location. The Inn was fully decorated for the holidays and very comfortable. The breakfast had a delicious hot dish as well as a yogurt parfait, assorted fruits, baked goods, toast and bagels. Caitlin was a wonderful host. We stayed in the Bob room which was very comfortable. |I highly recommend staying at the Clark Currier Inn if you are visiting the very charming Newburyport.

Walking distance to everything. Classic New England inn on outside and inside. Beautiful sunroom for dining where they served a continental breakfast. The vanilla yoghurt parfaits were scrumptious and I liked that they included a hot egg dish, though by the second day, I was ready for something other than quiche. They could consider alternating days with another breakfast casserole. But I guess then some guests would be disappointed that the quiche wasn’t there. It could be worth trying and ask what guests think. The innkeeper was incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean, decorated with antiques.

The Clark Currier Inn is lovely! Caitlin is a great host and very accommodating. Check in is super easy, as is parking, and sights and dining are all in easy walking distance. Room was spotless and bed super comfy. Breakfast was simple but good. We were just there for one night but would have loved to extend!

I am shocked that 563 out of 596 reviewers rated this place 4+ out of 5. Charming, lovely, and amazing were some of the frequently used descriptors. Did these reviewers stay at the same place I did? The location was excellent—everything is within walking distance. But the positives end there. As another reviewer stated, this is the first B&B where the owners are hands-off in every way. There is no personal check-in or check-out. The welcome letter spelled our name incorrectly—they couldn’t have bothered to verify it. The owners’ disregard for the guest experience extends to the care of this historic building. It is in desperate need of refurbishment, from the rotting wood and peeling paint at the entrance to the dingy carpets, peeling paint and wallpaper, 1980s bathroom, and cheap furnishings in the room (we stayed in the Hale Room). Let me end with the breakfast, which most reviewers emphatically stated was delicious and amazing. What? Breakfast was an absolute disgrace for a place that calls itself a B&B. It consisted of boxed cereals, store-bought breads and pastries, and containers of yogurt. And the whole time, the owner was in the kitchen on her laptop or folding laundry in the nearby formal dining room. Our stay was a bait and switch. The owners are phoning it in, leveraging the great location to charge a lot of money for a less-than-average experience (we paid $300/night). It is misleading and downright dishonest to call yourself a B&B if this is the experience you’re offering.

We stayed 2 nights in the Marquand room and it was perfect. We had our own deck and private entrance, the room was gorgeous with a newly renovated bathroom and comfortable bed. The location is perfect, easy walk to town, and Caitlin is incredible, great egg bites and breakfast spread every morning!

We were looking for a unique experience and the Clark Currier Inn exceeded our expectations. I cannot say enough good things about this inn. It’s beautiful, comfortable, fun, and completely New England. The bedroom was beautifully decorated and was exactly what we were looking for on this trip. The owners were gracious and charming. Breakfast exceeded our expectations and the frittatas were perfect. Our next trip to Newburyport, we will certainly stay again.

We love Clark Currier Inn! This is our second visit to this beautiful and well cared for Inn. Gorgeous Christmas decorations in December. During our visit in August, we were able to enjoy the back yard and gazebo.|In addition to our comfortable stay in Clark Currier Inn, the breakfast was delicious.|We will be back!!

Caitlin is the bombdigity! We have been going first weekend in December for about the last 8 years never disappoints! Me and my wife started going by ourselves for the first few years now my brother/sister-inlaw and niece and her husband join us for the last 4 years we all love the location / rooms / manager Caitlin.

Outstanding Place to Stay! It is a beautiful very well maintained historic home, with an amazingly accommodating host. The breakfast was great, the location perfect, and with such a great host it made for a wonderful long weekend stay. I would definitely go back!

This was our second stay and both were exceptional. If your trip includes a stop in Newberryport the Clark Currier is the place to stay.

Very nice old inn. , early 1800's. Price is good for the area. Customer service is very good and helpful. Parking is only issue that doesn't get 5 stars.

Wonderful experience, Highly Recommend. The house, room and grounds were beautiful. The family on site was delightful and so friendly. All covid accommodations were nicely handled, and everything felt safe and clean. We will definitely be back!

This inn is something truly special. Built at the beginning of the 1800s, It's like going back in time but with modern amenities. The furniture and decorations have preserved the look and feel of that time. They are very accommodating to late check-ins, have their own dedicated parking spots, and had even personalized a welcome package for us that was bought with our reservation. These personal touches made us feel right at home. And the innkeeper assured us it was not haunted! They were very friendly and helpful, and it was fun to poke around and look at all the different rooms. I would recommend checking out the you tube video for a little history about the inn. I would stay here every time!

We just stayed one night here but the entire experience was very impressive. This old (1802) New England house is wonderfully decorated as well as being convenient to all of Newburyport. We made our reservation late and got the last available room. It was perfect...perfectly clean (and I mean that sincerely), well appointed with a private balcony and entrance. In an old inn, a frequent problem is the bathroom. Not here. It was modern, everything worked great. Because of Covid-19, breakfast could not be served in a common room so the inn left us with a menu to choose from and the continental breakfast was delivered, on time, to our room. It was very good and very extensive. A holiday weekend thus holiday rates but if you are going to be in Newburyport, stay here.

Before heading to Gloucester for a wedding my wife and I stayed in Newburyport for a couple of days. We always wanted to stay at a B&B there and picked this place based on the Yelp reviews. We've appreciated the cleanness of the place but also how friendly the inn keeper and his staff are. A huge plus was the parking in the back. Something you don't want to miss in this town. The collection of old historical nightgowns at the wall was kind of creepy at first but was simply part of the theme of the Sargent room. The entire house is decorated with a collection of antiques and gives the inn a very special charm. At first it was weird to have no TV in the room but at the end we didn't really spend too much in it anyway. And if we did it was a good opportunity to read a book. I only wished the bed (mattress) wasn't that outdated. I wish I could rate it 5 stars but for that it was just to pricey.

Incredible little bed and breakfast! Had a lovely time here with my girlfriend. Great location that makes it very easy to walk everywhere you'll want to go. Room was quite clean and the place had a lovely charm, with quite a few common spaces (and freshly baked cookies). Breakfast was delicious as well. Would love to stay here again

Absolutely beautiful place. Very well maintained historic inn. The inn keepers were wonderful. Great service and yummy breakfast. Quick 5 minute walk to downtown. Hoping to make it an annual visit.

Haven't been here in 3 years. The new owners have improved upon the Inn. We loved our room, and the 'continental' breakfast was so much more. I took photos this time to show you how lovely the place really is. Highly highly recommend!

Location was great as you could easily walk to town. Stayed at the Marquand room, which was small, but well organized and clean. Bathroom tiny but well equipped and adequate. There is a nice deck with a private entrance on the other side of the room. You can sit outside on the provided table and chairs with umbrella overlooking a nice garden. There are plenty of rooms throughout the inn where you can hang out and feel somewhat private. Staff were casual and not really present all of the time. Breakfast is not what you would expect for an Inn, but if you are fine with sub standard coffee, fruit and frozen baked goods then all you. Service is only available between 7:30ish to 9:30am. Parking is limited. We went out and came back to a very full lot. Thank goodness we found on street parking near by.

I got a chance to stay at this classic property in Newburyport for a few days and I have only one thing to say 'Amazing'. These guys are awesome hosts and made sure that guests are comfortable during entire stay. They serve wholesome breakfast every morning which is one of the best I've seen at any hotel! It truly felt like a home away from home! Thanks

There are very few places where the innkeeper still lives within the B&B and takes care of the entire facility on a daily basis, and takes his time to tell guests of the history surrounding the area. I happen to love this kind of stuff and was pleasantly surprised and pleased when our innkeeper proceeded to give us history about the Clark Currier house as he checked us in. My boyfriend and I stayed in the Sargent Room - one of the least expensive rooms in the entire B&B, but also had enough space for the two of us. The room contained a full sized bed and two smaller twin-sized beds (presumably for children), as well as a large bathroom. I wish we had more time to explore the inn itself - we were barely in our room for more than 6 hours each evening (we were in Newburyport for wedding festivities for a good friend). We had a great experience - Bob was a great host and the fact that there were peppermint patties and bottled water available to us each evening added to the charm and comfort at this B&B. I'm looking forward to returning over the summer.

I might have given this B&B a 4 star because we enjoyed our room very much. It had its own entrance and a view of the garden. The bathroom though small was very adequate. Also, the room itself was clean and comfortable. That said, the common areas though lovely, are in need of a good dusting. And the "breakfast " was very substandard for a B&B. We were served raisin bran and canned peaches. There was also an off brand of low fat yogurt, a couple of bacon strips, a lonely sausage, and orange juice and coffee /tea. For the advertised tea, we got just tea, nothing else. All and all, there were clear signs of scrimping and a less than excellent experience.

Beautiful B&B in the heart of town. Rooms reflect a gentle period in American history. Our room was clean and comfortable with a romantic 4 post bed. Inn has many rooms for reading or visiting with other guests. Innkeepers were Friendly and obviously enjoy their work Will stay again

I couldn't think of a better place to spend a weekend in Newburyport. Amazing inn in the heart of town. The rooms are fantastic, and the location is perfect! Walking distance from downtown, which includes great shops and restaurants! The owner was here when we arrived and is from my hometown. He was extremely welcoming and very kind/ excited to have us as guests in his inn. The common areas are historic and spacious, as are the private rooms. Can't wait to return!

We had a wonderful stay at this b&b for my wife's birthday over the weekend, with top of the line, very accommodating and sincere service from Caitlin, and also from Abby. Both women went above and beyond our expectations. As other reviews will attest, the room was fantastic and the Inn itself is very homelike, warm, and inviting. It represents the town of Newburyport perfectly, and indeed is an integral part of the local atmosphere. We couldn't recommend it more highly.

We had a wonderful stay at the Clark Currier. Caitlin was so friendly and welcoming, and her breakfasts were great. The house itself is beautiful and there is a small bar fridge for guests to store food/wine. The room was comfortable, however the bathroom was a bit small. We were walking distance to downtown and will stay there again the next time we are in town.

Note: the rating is based mostly on our customer service experience here. The inn itself: pretty, well maintained, clean, but no shampoo in the bathrooms so be sure to bring your own as we were running to CVS to pick some up. My boyfriend and I were locked out of the inn on the second night of our stay by a guest or someone who deadbolted the back door (to which guests are not given a key). It was after midnight, and we spent over an hour outside banging on the door, calling a number that led to nowhere, and ringing the doorbell. A sleepy guest finally let us in at about 1:30 in the morning (this is AFTER we drove to the sister inn, the compass rose, and after contemplating driving back to Boston at 1:30 in the morning) Left a message on the voicemail and no one even returned our call to make sure we were able to get into the Inn ok at the end of the night or to apologize the next day. To make matters worse, when I addressed the issue with the innkeeper the next morning (starting the conversation by indicating that I knew it wasn't her fault this happened), she proceeded to make us feel like the whole ordeal was a result of our own doing. There is an emergency number (different to the number listed outside and on the website) placed on a tiny laminated piece of paper in the guest room that they "expect guests to take a picture of on their phones." 1. this is absolutely ridiculous 2. emergency numbers should be posted somewhere accessible 3. there should be a note telling people not to turn the deadbolt 4. you don't blame the guest for something that isn't their fault She also complained about her 24/7 job and that she never gets a break. I suggested placing this number somewhere accessible and putting a sign on the door that guests are supposed to enter into at night telling people NOT to turn the deadbolt. How they hadn't thought of this already is beyond me. We ended up getting a night refunded (thankfully) which was the only redeeming quality of this stay on a wedding weekend which essentially ruined the last night of the trip. To make matters worse, my close friend (the bride and her entire family) occupied the entire sister inn, The Compass Rose, and when the innkeeper was over there after our conversation she proceeded to say that I was nasty to her (which wasn't the case). She also complained to them about basically "working for free" the whole weekend and I'm not sure why she feels it's her right to complain to customers about her choice of occupation. Terrible customer service, Innkeeper needs a serious lesson in hospitality. While the Inn is pretty, I would never recommend staying here based on the treatment we received due to something that was in no way our fault and due to a lack of foresight on the owner and innkeeper's part. Although we were refunded the second night's stay, the whole experience was ruined overall by the innkeeper's attitude problem.

The Clark Currier is falsely advertised as a bed & breakfast. "Breakfast" is the cheapest pseudo-food available (see picture), which they put out for guests to get themselves. There's a Keurig machine for coffee--no cappuccino, cafe latte, or fresh brew. The room reeks of mold, bleach, and air freshener. The owners live in a separate house, of which I'm sure they take much better care, and are in the "inn" only from 3 to 5 for check-in. I finally found the TV remote deep under the bed. I had to use my umbrella (which I brought, because the owners don't provide any) to swat it to where I could reach it. The bed is $195+tax per night. I was staying in a real B&B (Kaeda Inn) in Ipswich, in which the hosts/owners live and care for the B&B, were always available, and made a wonderful breakfast, which is what a B&B is. Kaeda was $115 per night. I should have stayed in Ipswich and taken the train daily to Newburyport (short trip, second stop, $3.50). Additionally, the owner is holding me hostage, because I booked four nights, she won't let me check out without paying for all four nights in this deplorable place. I took pictures of the moldy blinds, the wire hangers in the closet (that should be returned to the dry cleaners), "breakfast", and the remote under the bed, because it's too appalling and deceitful to believe without photographic evidence. Also, when I booked the room, the owner said Salisbury didn't have places closer to the library. Now that I'm here, I see that is false and Newburyport and Salisbury offer better lodging options, and that staying in Ipswich and taking the train is preferable to staying at the Clark Currier. It's like a bad AirBnB but outrageously overpriced for what it is.

Wonderful historic spot with very friendly hosts and lots of fun extra suprises. Simple but excellent breakfast included. A great experience, highly recommended!

I am a resident of Newburyport and have hosted guests at the Clark Currier Inn for 8+ year (well over 100 nights booked) - but ownership changed and new management means I will never have guests there again. 1. Previous owners allowed dogs to come in the lobby area to greet guests etc - I came the day before I was having guests (15 nights!) and was told by the innkeeper, Gloria, very rudely, to tie my service dog outside before I paid the entire bill (for the management's convenience!) I was speechless. I then said I wanted to cancel and would forfeit my deposit but was told I could not. (still want to investigate that - so angry I didn't just turn and walk out then). And despite buying 3 rooms for 5 nights, I was not invited to join my guests for breakfast as I had been in the past. I brought my guests in late at night and found the keys - but no note on arrival - no idea about breakfast hours, etc. Took guests up to rooms - and the Marquand Room HAD A VACCUUM CLEANER strewn across the floor! When brought up to management the next day, it was met with a little laugh and I was told how busy and tired they were. No apology, offer of discount... my guests were very nice about it but all week, anytime the husband found a mop or broom, he would have a picture taken with it - became a running joke and he was trying to make me feel better but it didn't work. One of my guests told me the next day that she overhead the staff on the phone with I suppose, Gloria, the innkeeper, "no the dog has not come back" and several times during the stay. My message to Gloria --- don't worry - the dog and none of my guests will ever return. When I booked the rooms and later confirmed by email with the new owners/innkeeper (Gloria), I was NOT told that there would be significant construction going on at the inn. and it started VERY EARLY for travelers/vacationers. One of my guests complained and they did start the noisy stuff later the next day but.... had I known, would have given my 6 guests a choice of other accommodations. Then, finally, there was an incident, believed to be construction-related, when Gloria knocked on the door of the Clark Room where one of my guests was resting. "Are you in there?" - YES. "Are you resting?" - YES. "Are you in bed?" - YES! "Ok, then we will come back later" - WHAT THE HECK??? The one shining light of the week - all 6 of my guests said Linda was lovely and helpful - the true shining star of what *was* a great B&B I will be welcoming a large party of guest this weekend for a total of 21 nights - you can be certain not a one will be at the Clark Currier or the sister site of Compass Rose. Further, no attempt to apologize or make amends has been made a full month after this mess.

I have always measured the value of a bed and breakfast not by the pattern of the bedspread or the books in the sitting room, but by the friendly staff that welcome you in to their home as guests. If this is rubric, than the Clark Currier Inn is second-to-none. Bob and his daughter are some of the warmest, friendliest, most inviting and helpful people you will ever meet, not to mention gracious hosts. I recently attended a family reunion for which we rented out the entirety of the Inn. The rooms were warm, comfortable and gorgeous, and the entire house was immaculately kept. Bob was gracious enough to go beyond the call of duty and allow us the use of the space for two dinner parties, including a full-fledged New England Clam Bake, on the property as well. Just steps from the heart of downtown Newburyport and the beach, as well as minutes from Plum Island, the Clark Currier is the perfect place for a weekend getaway, a beach getaway, or a grandiose large-scale gathering.

Really nice place. Stayed in Marquand room. Had our own deck with our own entrance. Caitlyn, our host, was friendly and helpful. Walking distance to everything in Newburyport and the breakfast was great (blueberry lemon muffins. Do it!). Highly recommend this place.

My two friends & I went to Newburyport for a girls weekend last fall and stayed there. Every room was beautiful the staff very friendly and helpful the breakfast amazing. We will definitely go back.

The Clark Currier Inn was an excellent place to stay. I would refer this Inn to anyone who was searching for a quaint and pleasant place to lodge for a night or two, or maybe even the entire week. The Inn-keepers were extremely hospitable and delightful to be around who give you your space but are there for you if necessary. I stayed in the downstairs suite which was very nice because I had two bathrooms and a sitting room with a TV and sofa to relax. I also had my own side door which lead to a private balcony outside. The room and entire Inn was extremely clean, with a cleaning service that came each day to tidy up your room once you stepped out for the day. The Inn was also in very close proximities to downtown Newburyport including: nightlife, restaurants, shopping, the harbor, and more. The rates were suitable for the type of accommodations that came with the Inn. I would highly consider staying here to anyone who enjoys a relaxing and quite place to unwind and enjoy.
