An amazing stay! Very welcoming, very clean, very accommodating and so much more! We had a very late check in and accommodations were made, the food was so good with lots of options. The rooms were clean and large with loads of charm! We came on our honeymoon and would 100% come again!

Super quaint, peaceful, idyllic, historic Inn! Awesome location right in the middle of the Marblehead Historic District. We walked less than 5 min to dinner at The Landing and then to drinks at Maddie’s Sail Loft. Highly recommend!

Great location for exploring Marblehead. Views of the harbour were fabulous. We had great food in two restaurants within walking distance- The Landing and the Barnacle. Spending time in the hotel pool and garden was paradise. A very enjoyable stay.

Nice place but room way too small!

This is a very quaint hotel (there are only 2 'hotels' in Marblehead). The staff were very friendly & helpful, and the main floor (sitting room, dining room, little bar, outdoor greenspace with pool and firepit) was beautiful and spacious, so all good there. However, our room (room 31) was extremely small for two people and their belongings. There was nowhere to put anything! The small dresser was mostly taken up with a Keurig & telephone and the nightstands had lamps with large bases, so they took up most of the space. The bathroom was tiny, with only a 2" shelf above the sink to place anything on it. In addition, the air conditioning window unit was extremely loud; every time it kicked on during the night, it woke us up. This room for two nights was over $800. Another member of our group stayed at a great Airbnb which was quite spacious and had a full kitchen, for almost half the price of Harbor Light Inn. My advice would be to check around before booking lodging in Marblehead.
