We stayed at the Compass Rose Inn because it was close to a concert we were attending. We were able to walk back and forth. We were very happy with the Compass Rose. Both Inn Keepers we met were so nice and helpful. I Expected just a adequate breakfast, but it was very good.

I met with my sister and nieces for a night getaway. 1/2 way for us. I found the compass rose inn in my search! I’m so glad I did. We had the outside room. 2 queen beds. Sadie the manager was so wonderful. The place is very quaint. Cozy. We will definitely be going there again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very enjoyable experience in all ways. Kim was a welcoming and wonderful host and inn keep. Intend on staying here again next time we're in the area. Loved the newly created (early 2000s) but intentionally older looking federal style build and architecture. The only slightly negative I can think of is you can hear your upstairs/downstairs neighbor walking around or talking in anything higher than a regular volume but they have "quiet hours" and have done all they can to accommodate that issue. As I said, doesn't change my thoughts at all about staying at this B&B in the future.

Kim and Addison were wonderful hosts. Compass Rose has cozy and beautiful indoor and outdoor space. Within walking to the wharf park, lots of shopping and eating places to explore. Central to a lot of New England. Newburyport is a charming town!
