Sally Webster Inn

Lovely inn but be aware that its not a B and B-there is no breakfast. The self check in process is a bit eerie and impersonal but a real human was available by phone! The rooms are creatively decorated and clean. The outdoor garden is lovely and the location is nice- easy walk to town.

Selected this because of location and breakfast included. Arrived at night. Found note on the bed saying there would be no breakfast. Big disappointment. Neither was there any refund for lack of breakfast. Websites like this one need to quit saying there will be breakfast. Location is great within easy walking distance of Bearskin Neck and shops. Inn is totally clean. Room was cramped. There was no second luggage stand. Had to use suitcase on the floor. Phone message when reserving was answered promptly, but there is no one from management on the property.

No longer serves breakfast. Keurig and kcups, refrigerator freezer in room. No robes. Housekeeping did not provide fresh towels or empty trash on the second night. The decor is hard to describe, and I found it hard to appreciate. The water pressure in the shower was excruciatingly hard, and not adjustable. Very clean in general. Walking distance to town down the hill--a bit steep on return. Overall I'd rate between 3 and 4.

Beautiful historic inn that has been tastefully decorated! The inn is very welcoming, first floor living room great for relaxing, bedroom was very comfortable, spotless, great tv, coffee maker and fridge, bathroom lovely. Spent a very peaceful and quiet night. Outdoor patio in back a nice added touch. Very convenient location to walk and enjoy Rockport. Owners very pleasant and accommodating. Will stay again.

😊: We loved everything about the room and the location.. 😢: When booking the room, we picked the option "breakfast included", so we paid for breakfast. However, when arriving in the room, we found a note telling us that the hotel didn't serve breakfast anymore with a coupon (10%) for some breakfast spots in the village. I totally understand their reasons for not serving breakfast anymore, but what I don't understand is not communicating about it. When you pay for something, you expect that service, or a refund for that service. We also didn't see any staff when checking in, so we couldn't ask anything about it. When I messaged the owner about a compensation, the owner ignored my message. Again, we totally understand things might change, but it's only decent to communicate in advance..

Cute place comfortable and quaint. Could use a handrail by front door because of high uneven step (but I understand the desire to keep the older house authentic).|Very disappointed when we got there to find a note on the bed to the effect of "we are no longer serving breakfast because of rising cost" and including discount coupons for local restaurants.|This was supposed to have been a B & B. It was advertised as such. When we searched up B & Bs in Rockport it came up right away. This was a huge disappointment.

A really lovely old wooden late 19th century house. Beautifully decorated inside, with a comfortable king size bed. Excellent location a short walk from the lovely old fishing port town. Only downside was that we had bought and paid for breakfast, which they no longer do, and we hadn't been pre-warned. However, this was resolved amicably.

Oh, how I'd love to write a stellar review for the Sally Webster. But alas, I can't. It feels like a passion project for its owners who have another Rockport B&B-love has clearly gone into it. And the sister property is truly amazing. But some aspects at Sally really left us feeling underwhelmed. But first the positives: good location, well within easy walking distance of Dock Square, Bearskin Neck, etcetera. (Make sure you don't mind walking up a fairly steep hill on your way to the inn-we didn't mind it at all, but some might.) Nice stroll nearby down Atlantic Avenue takes you by Old Garden Beach and the Headlands. The decor is attractive and the bed/bedding some of the coziest ever. The room is sparkling clean. Their method of handling breakfast-a door card that you fill out and place on your door the night before is convenient and full of choices. Breakfast food is bagged and available for pickup at 0830, simple but good, accompanied by small coffee/teapots. Now for the down side-there is no one in residence or even on duty at the building, which gives an odd feel. Our bathroom/shower very small (not unexpected for an older home-but shower closet small) and no hot water. My shower barely edged from really cold to tepid-not great in December-with water pressure so strong it was literally uncomfortable. Oddly, there is no trash can in the bathroom-so if you use a Kleenex or a q tip for makeup, you've got to leave the bathroom, cross the room to discard it. Our room had no bedside tables or chargers-just a small metal plate screwed to the wall on which you could place your cell, with the sole charging bank in the room secured to the fridge a small distance away. No instructions in the room (key codes and internet access were texted) for the limited cable service or anything else. If you are expecting typical B&B amenities (snacks/baked goods, toiletries if you're missing something, live advice on anything Rockport) you will not find them here. There is only one very small common living room and no dining space. When we stayed, a second group comprising the rest of the guests that weekend complained it was difficult for them to breakfast together-required rearranging what little eligible area was in this main room. One guest remarked on the lack of board games, etcetera in the common space. This also impacts a pleasant aspect of staying in this type of lodging-the option of meeting/chatting with other guests, often at breakfast. Perhaps in the future the owners might open up what seems to be a room behind the living room-there are two doorways, one clearly a door, a second a "bookcase" but framed like a door-to provide more common space or a dining area for guests. Parking is available behind the building-tight but well-marked and adequate. Would we return? probably not in its current iteration. But knowing how well run and comfortable the sister property is, I'm in great hopes that the owners can bring the Sally Webster up to speed in a way that would change our minds.
