just okay
the cottage was just okay it was very very tiny, the shower was tiny, the main room the ceiling was sagging like it had a water leak at one time or still does and looked like it would fall down. the bathroom had a slanted ceiling so not much room for a taller person to be comfortable. there was no breakfast options at this hotel and only a dunkin across the street with very limited flavors of donuts. would i stay in the cottage again? the answer would be no. it was pricy for what it was

Great Old New England Inn
A Great New England style inn. This inn is the typical old fashioned New England type hotel right on an estuary in the beautiful village of Essex. The room was clean and the bed was super comfortable. My reception was was very friendly and helpful. I will, indeed, stay at Shea's again when I go up to the northshore.

Location of property was perfect for our travel plans. Room was very clean, but extremely small. Better fit for a single rather than a couple. Staff was very friendly. Grounds were great for sitting and relaxing by the river.
