My girlfriend and I spent our 2nd anniversary at the Kiwi Cottage which is rented out by The Old Farm Inn but not on the same property as the inn. The cottage is behind another property The Old Farm rents out The Kiwi House. It is in the heart of Rockport and we had a wonderful time. The cottage was perfect for the two of us. We were able to spend the weekend there with no issues. When we first arrived at the Old Farm Inn it was a little confusing, we had arrived at night and there was a group there for a wedding. But the guy who was taking care of front was very friendly and helped us right away and gave us perfect directions to get to the cottage. We were able to explore Rockport a bit and also Glouster. It was a very memorable weekend. Planning on coming back in the near future but this time

I stayed at the Inn with friends for a wedding. When we arrived at the inn, we walked around the grounds for a few minutes looking for someone to greet us, but then we realized that our keys(and directions to our room) were waiting inside on a table in one of the buildings. This lack of presence set the tone for the stay because, during the course of my stay, I never saw the owner. It was nice that we had the house to ourselves, and were able to lounge together in the common areas. However, we were not able to commune with anyone at the Inn to register our complaints, concerns or even be made to feel welcome. The location of the Inn was useful because it was very close to the park. After seeing our friends’ rooms in the main house, we felt that they were better off than those of us in the barn. Our room in the barn(the Sunshine Room) was a nice size, but it smelled very musty and mildew-y. We immediately opened all of the windows and left them open — this made the smell tolerable. I killed an ant and shared the room with a couple of spiders. There was also a noise, which we affectionately named the Lobster in the Pipes, which is what it sounded like when someone upstairs used the bathroom. One of the chairs in the room was threadbare on the arms, and the carpet was dirty and smelled. The sheets and towels also smelled very musty. We would have requested new ones, but I never saw a soul who worked there until the following morning, at breakfast. There was a young girl serving the breakfast, which was one notch above continental. Also, breakfast was served for a short time and ended fairly early, so I was up earlier than I would have been to get a bite to eat. I also saw the people who cleaned the rooms one morning, but I had to turn them away because it was too early. They did not return. Additionally, I booked this room in January and learned that the room was double-booked when I called to confirm in July. The owner offered the smallest room at a discount as an alternative. After a few more moments of discussion, the owner admitted that her largest room was available, and said she would give it to me at the same price as the room I originally booked, but really did not want to do that because she would lose a lot of money. I did not feel that this was an appropriate professional attitude to take, given that my reservation was messed up because of her error and that I had discovered it only through my own diligence.
