A Rockport Bed and Breakfast Inn
Seaward Inn will close for the season on October 26th. We re-open for our 65th season May 7, 2009. You are invited to use our online booking and availability calendar to make your reservations. As a Bed and Breakfast Country Inn located at Cape Ann in Rockport, we offer a full service breakfast, open to the public in our Sea Garden Restaurant. We are pleased to announce we will again present our “Sunday Morning Live” Series beginning Mother’s Day May 10, 2009.
And remember, as Mike O’Brien of Capital News Channel 9(Albany, NY) said this past Spring: “You can find some good weather in May around the northeast. Beat the crowds in Rockport, Massachusetts and enjoy a small, quaint seaside town. It’s only 40 miles north of Boston. My overnight choice? The Seaward Inn. It’s rustic, laid back and peaceful. The ocean air will do wonders for you!”
See you next Spring...we look forward to hosting you as the Seaward turns 65! In the meantime, take a look around our website, check out our accommodations, our amenities and our area attractions.

 Following the end of World War II, Roger and Anne Cameron purchased a large home in Rockport, Massachusetts overlooking the majestic Atlantic Ocean. They lived in small family quarters and rented rooms to summer guests. Roger maintained their five acres with his eye on every detail - from the country gardens, to the spring-fed swimming pond. Anne oversaw the country kitchen, which was always open - welcoming guests for a chat, a glass of lemonade, or a large chocolate chip cookie. |
| Daily
she lovingly made certain that every guest enjoyed a truly
sumptuous breakfast and dinner.
A memorable tradition ensued for decades at the Seaward Inn, whereby guests were issued their own personal clothes pin for use as a napkin holder during their visit. After departure it was hung on vertical clothes lines in the "East Room" where it remained awaiting their return. A record of each visit was etched onto the clothespins – some indicating second and even third generation use by the same family. |
The
ocean views beckon, as did the aroma of Anne's fresh
baked cookies.
The Seaward Inn now with 17 charming units, is beautifully
situated on the Atlantic Ocean at the tip of scenic
Cape Ann - just north of Boston, Massachusetts.
Make
your great escape to the Seaward Inn.
Feel
salt tinged sea breezes cool your face. Enjoy the serenity
of the sounds of ocean waves breaking at your door,
fog horns in the distance and the tranquil calls of
the Cormorants, Gulls, Geese and Herons overhead. Now
you begin to understand why thousands of our guests,
for over five decades, have chosen the Seaward Inn
as their perfect New England holiday.
The
Cameron-Gilsey family and staff cordially welcome you
home to the warmth and hospitality of the Seaward
Inn. We look forward to your visit. |
