Ipswich B&B

Ipswich, Massachusetts.

The Ipswich Bed and Breakfast is in the heart of Ipswich's historic district. We are within walking distance to town. The house, built by Robert Jordan in 1863, is a wonderful example of a Victorian home, with fine Italianate detail.

Bed and Breakfast Accommodations

This house was built by Robert Jordan in 1863. He was a Civil War veteran who made his living as a general merchant in Ipswich after the war. For a number of years after Robert Jordan, the house belonged to a local doctor who used it as a home and office for treating many of the residents of Ipswich.

Wake up to the smells of bacon, fresh baked muffins, and homemade pancakes. Follow your nose to our dining room where eggs benedict and special inn french toast reign over our menu. Everyday our staff prepares a full hot breakfast. Choose from our varied menu. Try Margret's Homemade granola over a bowl of fresh fruit or order our special inn pancakes with blueberries, bananas and pecans. Breakfast is generally served between 7:30am and 11am, till noon on weekends.

We sit on nearly an acre of terraced perennial gardens with walkways through the property, designed to create a tranquil atmosphere. All bedrooms have a private bath, TV, queen bed and air conditioning.

Our new dining room is open! The glass enclosed, sun-filled room seats up to 40 people and is perfect for business meetings, rehearsal dinners and special events. Let us host your next gathering!
