Great location to UNH for campus. Walk to football stadium was easy and only takes about 20 minutes. Peaceful setting. Easy and no additional fee for parking. Was greated by team of staff who walked us to our room. Things to improve: Please make sure the room is clean. Ours was dusty in the bathroom and main room. Cobwebs on ceiling, in bathroom and next to bed with a spider on it. Queen bed mattress was bouncy.

Nice hotel

It was a nice quaint hotel. It was comfortable and the rooms were nice. However, I expected better breakfast from a place that touts itself as a B&B. It was just plain bagels and cereal.

Great Stay

The historical house really made it a special stay. The staff both at the hotel and the bar/grill were friendly, and shared great stories of the home. Durham is a fantastic town with great history that the Durham Historical Association, which is just down from the hotel proudly displays. I will definitely return.

The Inn was quaint and has beautiful grounds and a delicious continental breakfast including a waffle station. But, the room had extremely squeaky floor boards and the walls were paper thin. I heard every word of guests next door including the snoring! We stayed in the Carriage House for one night.

The main building has rooms attached to it so it gets loud when guests slam the front doors. The ladies at the front desk were wonderful but the gentleman was rude and unwelcoming. The breakfast selection was fantastic! That said, I wouldn’t stay there again…
