Stayed just overnight when attending a concert at the Bank of NH Pavilion. Hostess enabled us to get in even late after the concert. Breakfast was delicious and lovely view. Would have liked to have time to stay and walk the lovely property.

Bernadette was an amazing hostess who runs a truly hospitable place! I have not felt so pampered at an inn and hotel ever. All the little details are there and makes it so wonderful. Excellent chocolate chips cookies upon arrival and delicious breakfast before we left to top it off. We talked about a reason to go back the whole ride home!

Beautiful B and B with amazing breakfast
Our host was incredibly friendly and the breakfast was marvelous. A wonderful place! Only small gripe - it is a very old house and the walls and ceiling are completely transparent to sounds… so can be a bit noisy depending on who is your neighbor.
Bryan, 1-night trip
