We visited this venue to do the food tasting to choose the meal for the wedding. My daughter had already booked it and I was delighted that she asked me to come along. The food was delicious, very appealing to look at and served with smiles. Such a hard choice between all that they offered. The historical building has ties... More

I had my dream wedding in June 2012 in the Ocean view manor for a small party of around 35 people. This review reflects my entire wedding experience as a bride and not as a traveler renting a room. I have to admit, as soon as I entered the Ocean View manor, I knew that that was were I would... More

We traveled to Gloucester for a wedding, and this was the recommended hotel stay... while the staff was friendly, and the food was great, the actual accommodations of this place was horrible, especially when I felt that the rooms were extremely overpriced. Our group rate was $179/night before taxes, and while that is reasonable for an ocean front stay, the... More

I stayed there this summer for a wedding. While the view, the front desk staff, and the food were amazing, that is where the positive points end. Starting with the room: it was dirty, there were bugs, there was a hole in the window where the wall just didn't meet, the bathroom didn't even have a toilet paper holder. And... More

Unfortunately this hotel was chosen by USA friends so we neglected to check it out before making an on-line booking from the UK. The dark, scruffy back entrance should have warned us of what was to come. The young 'manager' didn't offer to help with our bags but did tell us how to operate the antiquated lift to the 3rd...

We recently attended a wedding at the Ocean View and the wedding was beautiful. The set up was great, the food was amazing, and the staff was extremely friendly. Everyone was dancing, drinking and celebrating until the wee hours of the am. Everything was perfect until I set foot in my room. I doubt this room had been cleaned ever.... More

I recently had my wedding at the Ocean View Inn (in August 2012) at the Manor. The ceremony was out on the front lawn and then we moved inside for the reception. The site is beautiful even on a rainy day but we were lucky and had a beautiful sunny day. The food/menu prices that they provide you when you... More

I had been told I had rooms in the house but was given keys to the side cottages. The owener was not at all friendly. Akasheeah said it all. I took one look at the circa 1950's rooms and checked out. I knew I could not spend a night in such a musty, charmless room. At resort prices! The carpet... More

My fiancé and I stayed here for 2 nights over Labor Day weekend for a wedding. I will start with the bad and the ugly. The rooms are horrible and are more in line with the standards of a very cheap run-down motel or even a hostel (which I have stayed in one in Fiji and was much cleaner than... More

My sister just recently had her wedding here. Although their rooms may not be up to 5 star standards their service certainly is. They were so friendly and accommodating. I've been working in hotels for the past 7 years and I am so impressed. Congrats on your wonderful establishment!
