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!

The innkeeper Kim was as sweet as could be - very accommodating to our needs. Put out treats in the evening and a delicious breakfast in the morning. She is truly an asset to the inn! Our room was clean and very comfortable - we will definitely be back!

Almost Fantastic
The Compass Rose Inn checks most of the boxes. Location is excellent. Rooms are very clean. Inn keeper and staff are friendly, helpful, great people. Unfortunately, the suites are not well isolated from the sounds of the other guests. Foot traffic overhead and muted voices along with plumbing all contribute to a lack of privacy. Surprisingly this house is newer construction and was built for the purpose of a B&B. Perhaps the noise intrusion is part of the B&B experience and should be expected, so my expectations may be skewed. Unfortunately, I probably would not stay here again.
