Without question, the best bed and breakfast experience I've ever had. You could not find a more beautiful place in New England. Where else does the sun set over the water on the east coast? Impeccably clean accomidations mixed with warmth and thoughtfulness and a superior hostess (Anna) who made sure that our stay was comfortable and complete. I absolutely did not want to leave this little slice of heaven and Anna made it feel as if we were her family.
You must try Anna's home made scones, they are to die for! We'll be back for sure.

The proprietess of this cozy inn is one of the nicest, funniest, most charming people you will ever meet. She immediately puts you at ease with her sweet, yet wise-cracking grandmother/aunt-like nurturing -- but she's not going to hover. She lets you set the pace and tone of what you want your visit to be.

When you flip through her guest book, you will repeatedly see references to the amazing attention to detail -- and it's all true. She has obviously put great effort into making sure that your room has the amenities and cleanliness of any small, four- or five-star hotel. The continental breakfasts make you feel like you're in a pleasant English inn, and her scones are not to be missed!

The setting of this place is also a great plus -- set in a tight-knit, neighborly pocket of Gloucester, perched high up with a great view of Lane's Cove, a working fisherman's enclave, just a short walk down from the house.

If you choose Lane's Cove, you'll be charmed and rejuvenated. I'm a repeat visitor! It's the only place I'll stay on Cape Ann.

We have been at Lanes Cove House three times now and each has been a real treat. Anna's welcome and her scones make for an excellent B & B experience. This place is a real gem. So much to see and do in the area. Beautiful sunsets, Lobster in the rough, fried clams and dramatic scenery make the Gloucester/Rockport area a must see and for us we plan to return again!
