I love staying at the Inn. I love the bar/restaurant. The people are kind and friendly. My only complaint is the beds -- they are not comfy and do need to be replaced.

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.

This is a quaint, historic inn and has the antique furniture and period wallpaper to give the proper ambience. Sarah Levy, the innkeeper, was terrific, the food was excellent, and I loved being able to look out the windows of the diningroom to watch the hummingbirds, other birds (black-backed woodpecker!) and stream. Lovely and relaxing-- just what I was seeking.

This property is great if you are looking for an Inn right on the river to lull you to sleep. Where bald eagles and osprey fly by while you are eating a delicious homemade breakfast. Swim in the river or just sit and cool your feet. The pierce bridge is a local icon that is within walking distance. The beds are comfy. The people are welcoming. It’s just a really nice place that I will be back to.
