The most gracious host we have ever been blessed to meet. She doesn’t rent rooms, she honors and warms guests into her home. All the positive reviews are completely warranted. Incredible stay!

Joan is an absolute peach, her rooms are kept very clean and has many little extra touches not seen in chain inns. Joan makes you feel like you have been part of her family all along even if it's the first time meeting you. Do yourself a favor and stay here, the park across the street is something to explore!!

Joanne was the perfect hostess. I couldn’t of been more pleased with this rental. She claims only a continental breakfast but went on to prepare rice how much for quiche. 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.

Very attentive and flexible hostess. The Hydrangea Inn is a little gem of a place and it's owner a gem of a person. Joan is well travelled and happy to share her adventures with you, but only if you want to lend an ear . She is respectful of your privacy and had you treat her home as yours
