My fiance and I stayed there in September of 2010. We ended up there quite by accident, only intending staying for one night, but ended up staying for three nights because it was so wonderful. The location could not be better as we were on a motorcycle, and were able to walk everywhere we needed to go for sightseeing and... More

My husband and I stayed here during St. Peter's Fiesta (June 24 - 27). This was actually our second stay. The last time was in 2009 and both times we stayed in The Samuel "Cut" Stevens Suite, which is a huge room with a spiral staircase going up to a second sleeping area. The inn is very quaint and uniquely... More

The mattress was extra firm but... More

there are a lot of good things. The owners are nice, the location is nice. The muffins are nice. The price was reasonable. The bad parts: The mattress was like sleeping on a piece of wood. The traffic outside even late at night was really hard to get used to. We had to drive 16 miles to Walmart to buy... More

We had neglected to book a hotel prior to our trip. We arrived in town and inquired from a local as to where to stay. The Inn at Babson Court was suggested, we called to make sure a room was available (and within our price range), and then drove over to check out the room. We had never stayed at... More

This place was nice and each room had a theme. We loved staying there for my sister in law's wedding. The guy that was taking care of the place was such a character! We ended up renting the entire house for the weekend and we had a blast!

When our usual motel in Cape Ann was overbooked, we had to find accommodations on very short notice. I found the website for The Inn at Babson Court full of pictures, history, and reasonable prices. Only by changing the name to “Your Home at Babson Court” could one express the level of attention and genuine interest in our needs that... More

After reading previous reviews on the trip advisor and visiting the Babson's website I was expecting much more form this bed and breakfast. The room in which we stayed (I can't remember the name of it but it was on the ground floor) was filthy. The bathroom in particular was dusty and dirty (you needed to look on the tops... More
