Lanes Cove House is a cozy and comfortable
New England Victorian bed and breakfast overlooking
picturesque Lanes Cove in Lanesville, one of Gloucester,
Massachusetts' most charming villages. Lanes Cove House offers
ocean views, spectacular sunsets, a perennial garden, and
plenty of hospitality, just one hour from Boston.
Each of the three lodging accommodations
is tastefully furnished and decorated. Polished hardwood
floors, Oriental rugs, air conditioners, fans, and cable
television are standard features. The Green
and Blue rooms have en-suite bathrooms with
showers, and the Quilt room has a private
bathroom with a tub/shower just outside the bedroom door. Both
Quilt and Blue rooms have beautiful ocean views. The common
area sitting room includes a kitchenette for guest use, a
computer with printer, a cordless phone, books, DVDs and
videos, games, puzzles, iron and board. The house is Wi-Fi
accessible.
Enjoy pre-breakfast coffee in your room,
followed by a delicious expanded continental breakfast in the
dining room or on the deck overlooking Lanes Cove. Freshly
baked scones, breads with special toppings, yogurts, and a
selection of fruits, juices, our home-made granola, and
cereals are accompanied by premium coffees and teas for a
wonderful morning meal.
No matter how you choose to spend your day,
remember to return to Lanes Cove House in time to watch the
sunset from the deck while enjoying tea and cookies or your
own wine. Your hosts look forward to sharing the Inn,
Gloucester, and the rest of Cape Ann with you. |
A ten-minute stroll from Lanes Cove House
brings you to the small village beach, or drive ten minutes to
two beautiful wide beaches. Take in one of the seagoing
harbor, lighthouse, lobstering, and whale watching tours.
Sailing, fishing, and sea kayaking are other enjoyable ocean
activities. Even landlubbers are fortunate to be able to board
the beautiful old schooner Adventure, a National
Historic Landmark, which is docked for restorations at the
Maritime Heritage Center. Sunday morning breakfasts aboard the
schooner are a treat. If you love to shop, downtown
Gloucester, Rockport and Manchester are nearby, while serious
and not-so-serious antique shoppers will want to visit Essex
and Rowley.
Visiting art lovers will enjoy the art
studios, museums, and art associations all over Cape Ann,
including the Rocky Neck Art Colony, the oldest art colony
still in existence in America. Music, dance, and theater are
also well represented. |
