Our stay was much too short for such a beautiful place! We had an ocean front room in the Captains Quarterhouse. The view was amazing! The accommodations were so comfortable and welcoming. Mike was fabulous to welcome us and helping us with our stay. We are adding this to our list of places to definitely stay at again. Loved it!

Made to order breakfast was very nice . And wait staff was very helpful and pleasant. I wish we knew ahead of time about the spiral narrow staircase to our room as seniors 😦, also a two step up and down to get into bathroom was risky.

The Yankee Clipper Inn is a throwback to the past in the best sense. The grounds and the Inn itself were so very peaceful and just invited you to slow down, enjoy the beautiful view and the atmosphere. The staff was warm and inviting and seemed to really enjoy being there. The breakfasts were fun and delicious and set the tone for the rest of day in quiet and elegant fashion. We will certainly stay there again if in that area and will be telling our family about it so that hopefully they too can someday enjoy it.

The Yankee Clipper Inn was an excellent choice in every way. The grounds, rooms and restaurant were perfect in every way. Due to health concerns I called ahead asking to be moved to the first floor. No rooms were available, I was not able to change my reservation. However when I arrived they had moved rooms around to accommodate for my health issues. I was unable to walk to enjoy the gazebo and waterfront but it was lovely from the restaurant porch seating area. I can’t say enough about the staff and their hospitality.

Very nice getaway, a great location in proximity to Rockport and area attractions we visited Hammond Castle, Rockport Village, Castle Hill, and Halibut Point State Park. Breakfast was delicious and staff great, our room and view were excellent. Only two negatives , the pool was under construction, and because it was a weekday the bar/lounge was closed. But overall an awesome stay and would definitely would stay again.

Great breakfast selection. Great views from main house side of road Cassandra was very helpful as were the bar, kitchen and room clean staffs. Various areas of the property are lacking general maintenance (partly due to the age of the structures. I booked this location because the website showed a very nice looking pool, temp was near 90 degrees. Upon arrival the pool was under renovation. The website I clicked and booked on showed all the amenities including the pool. The manager (Mike) said the pool was taken off all websites and I could not have seen such a thing... WRONG! Not a very guest friendly comment amongst others, especially his delivery. Would not recommend this place until some improvements are made.

Great stay at the Yankee Clipper Inn. Such a cute hotel which is beautifully designed and kept. One of the best breakfasts I’ve had at a hotel. I think our server’s name was Claire and she was an absolute doll. Would highly recommend this hotel.
