Spent a beautiful and romantic weekend in Newburyport. The inn keeper was delightful and the room was beautiful. Added on the wine and cheese which awaited us in our suite upon check in. The Inn is located right in downtown...walking distance to everything. We parked the car and walked to dinner each night and explored. We actually ate right across... More

The Compass Rose is a wonderful Bed & Breakfast in the heart of Newburyport, Mass. Our room was complete with a warming rack for our towels, a lovely sitting area, an HD Flat screen TV and a wonderful breakfast the three mornings we were there. The whole Inn, very small & quaint, was white-gloved clean. The breakfast was fabulous- fresh... More

My husband and I stayed at the Compass Rose a few weeks ago for a mini 'babymoon.' Gloria was very sweet and even switched our room from a bathroom w/ a shower only to one of the rooms with a soaker tub and I got a small bath set to get some pre-mommy relaxation in. The rooms are very spacious... More

My husband and I recently stayed at the CR Inn for a brief getaway over the weekend. We absolutely loved our experience there. The innkeeper was wonderful, breakfast was phenomenal, atmosphere couldn't be beat, room was gorgeous, and the location was outstanding (two small blocks from the center of beautiful Newburyport). The Inn is romantic, fun, clean, and spacious. We... More

There are many good reasons that the Compass Rose Inn gets such rave reviews. The suites are huge, clean, comfortable and well-designed. Two separate sinks, two separate sitting options in the living room, two separate closets/luggage racks, etc. makes s stay for two especially easy. The king bed, with the pillow-top mattress, is divine. Parking is a breeze, and the... More

Lovely Inn in downtown Newburyport. We stayed at the Inn after particpating in a Cooking Class that was held at the Inn. The rooms are well appointed, (although our cable box was not in working order) with lovely bedding and working fireplace. Parking is available to the guests of the Inn and the breakfast in the morning was delicious. Gloria,... More

We've stayed at the Compass Rose several times when visiting our daughter in Newburyport, and we always wish we could stay longer. The inn is beautiful and fresh (constructed ~ 2006), wonderfully detailed and decorated, and centrally located to shopping and restaurants in this historic New England town. The suites and bathrooms are huge and have fireplaces, and the sheets... More
