Testimonials

Lovely, lovely, lovely!

Marblehead was the right choice for home base during our week long trip to the area and the Brimblecomb Inn was the perfect choice for lodging! The nearly three hundred year old building is beautiful and cozy, while conveniently located for transit (or Uber) access everywhere we wanted to go. Gene and Janet are wonderful hosts, providing much appreciated guidance about things to see, how to get around - plus great conversation! And the bed in the Isaac Mansfield room was so comfortable! We loved everything about our stay, except leaving.

Gene was a lovely host. He helped us figure out what to do around town, and he suggested a few really wonderful restaurants. Marblehead was amazingly beautiful and we can't wait to go back and stay at Brimblecomb again.

Brimblecomb B&B Offers History, Comfort, and Convenience

My daughter and I recently stayed at the Brimblecomb Hill B&B for four nights in the Isaac Mansfield Room. The B&B is at the heart of historic Marblehead in a lovely, safe neighborhood only a few blocks from the waterfront with its restaurants, museums, beaches and Fort Sewall. The room was spacious and fitted with nice antiques, a huge assortment of books, and a modern ensuite bathroom. Gene is an ideal host -- he checks in on guests periodically to make sure that all is satisfactory and provides great advice on local attractions and restaurants -- but otherwise guests are given their independence. He makes an admirable pot of coffee and continental breakfast in the morning, and provides the daily newspaper to read over breakfast. As parking space is a bit of a challenge in the historic area of town, Gene provides a parking pass to a parking lot across from the B&B. We didn't need to use our car much anyhow, as we most sites are conveniently close. Should we come this way again for a vacation, we would definitely reserve a room at the Brimblecomb Hill B&B.
