The Seagull Inn B & B

If you’re headed to Marblehead, with friends, with a significant other, or à seule, this is the perfect base of operations. You will need a car or a bike if you’re planning on hitting the «old» part of Marblehead, but it’s an easy run to and from, and staying at the Seagull gets you a respite from the tourist throng in the main part of town.
There are three suites in the Inn, running in size from The Library (smallest) to The Lighthouse (apartment with full kitchen), with the Seabreeze in between. Skip and Ruth are the very soul of hospitality, and breakfast is a true treat. Ruth is a very creative cook, offering up gluten-​free options every morning in addition to the traditional bagels, fresh hot cereals, and other yumminess. I particularly appreciated the prosciutto and the smoked salmon, and went a little nuts over the whole wheat rolls that Ruth makes from scratch, to the level of «she grinds her own wheat grain.» Really remarkable, and SO SO good.
This will be my go-​to on any trip to Marblehead. Highly recommended.

I cannot even begin to describe how effortlessly wonderful our stay here was. The Seagull Inn is everything a bed and breakfast should be! Ruth and Skip, the super awesome hosts, made us feel like we were at home the second we pulled up. We stayed in the Library Suite and as you can picture, the walls were lined with endless rows of books. The quaint, vintage furniture (all hand made by Skip) throughout the house added so much character and gave the house a welcoming feel. Seagull Inn is literally a backyard away from the water where you can kayak or just hang out. My favorite place in Marblehead, Castle Rock, was only a two minute bike ride from the house. The Inn has kayaks and bikes to use during the day and always has yummy goodies out in the kitchen.
I wish I could say more about our stay at Seagull Inn, but then I’d go on forever. We really cannot WAIT to make a second trip back and you can count on it that we will be visiting regularly. Lovelovelove it.
