Sarah was great. Probably the best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had because it’s cooked fresh to order and not just the continental slop that you get at most places.

Facility was nice and clean. The inside appears out dated with wallpaper peeling off in many rooms including common area rooms, as well as water leak stains on the ceiling tiles. the furniture appeared to be older. Our bed was INCREDIBLY loud and squeaky and you felt every single movement your partner made due the to mattress being incredibly bouncy. The house over all has a very old farm feel. We did visit the restaurant for dinner which was sadly disappointing. The dining room is very out dated and rather empty feeling. I ordered the shrimp and zucchini noodle dinner which was very bland and watery and much over priced for what was presented. The breakfast is included in your stay and the food itself is yummy however the service was not great. Our waitress brought out coffee to two tables that placed their order after us before I had to ask if we could get ours. She was very unfriendly when I asked and when she returned MANY minutes later with our coffee she placed it on our table with and when I said thank you to her she had no response and walked away. Overall I’m not sure we would stay here again

Although the inn is old it’s still a beautiful place. It seems the bathrooms has been remodeled and they’re in the process of redoing the decks on the back next to the river. The restaurant was never crowded and the food was always delicious

The property and building itself was very nice. The house was a beautiful old country farmhouse with unique route. The rug and our king size bedroom. Was in poor condition and the? Rubber safety Mat in the tub was scuzzy. And there were no handrails to assist getting into a very high-sided old-fashioned tub.. The bed was very stiff and uncomfortable And the room itself had a very musty smell. Staff was friendly and helpful.

This inn is a vintage lodging experience. The rooms in the main building are somewhat renovated but maintain a vintage antique styling. Rooms do not have television in them but WIFI works well. Some rooms have claw foot cast iron tubs that makes for a slightly cramped showering experience. The breakfast offers a number of options and each is freshly prepared for the guest which is excellent. The staff are very hospitable, and accommodating.

Great value for money, and plenty of charm

This is a lovely, charming, and comfortable inn, and is easily recommend it. It provides a great value for price compared with many other inns. The location is perfect. The staff was friendly. The breakfasts and dinners were tasty. Our room looked out right over the roof, so our particular view wasn’t amazing, but we could see some mountains, and it was good enough. What’s the point of going to NH if you’re going to spend time in your room anyway? And if you eat in the restaurant, you are right next to a delightful stream with hummingbirds flitting around, depending on the season. The bed was a bit soft for me, but I slept pretty hard on it on my last night, so it must have been fine. The furniture in common rooms has seen better days, but it’s an old, charming inn, and all is about as expected. We had a really terrific stay, and would happily stay again.
