4-star hotels in Newburyport
A shortlist of 4-star places to stay in Newburyport, from in-town inns on Center Street and Green Street to beach-side cottages on Plum Island. It is for travellers who want a four-star base in or around this Massachusetts coastal town.
Staying in Newburyport
Newburyport is a small coastal city in Massachusetts, and the 4-star stays on this list split between its historic downtown streets and the beachside lanes out on Plum Island. In town, Compass Rose Inn sits on Center Street, Clark Currier Inn on Green Street, and a cluster of townhouses and lofts stands on Center, Beck, Middle, Franklin and Boardman Streets, all within a short walk of the waterfront. Out on the island, Sea Love Beach House is on 59th Street, Fisherman's Paradise on 22nd Street, The Wishbone on 54th Street, and Cloud Break and Basin Breeze Cottage sit on Basin Street.
The split suits different trips. Couples and short-break visitors who want to park once and walk to dinner will find the downtown inns and lofts the easiest fit, and Clark Currier Inn and Compass Rose Inn are the two with the strongest review records. Families and beach-goers are better served by the island houses and cottages, where kitchens, laundry and playgrounds appear in the facilities, and by the larger downtown homes with full kitchens. Business travellers are covered too: several downtown properties list desks, internet access and parking.
