The historic Bass Rocks Ocean Inn is an oceanfront escape located 35 miles north of Boston. This Colonial Revival style inn offers comfortable rooms classically decorated in floral patterns that open onto shared balconies with sweeping Atlantic Ocean views. Open seasonally from May through October, the hotel has a heated outdoor pool and excellent freebies like Wi-Fi throughout the property, bike rentals, and afternoon tea and cookies. While some guests complain that balconies lack privacy and bathrooms are small, this is a well-maintained, family-friendly property with historic character and great views.
