Elegant, beautifully decorated Victorian B&B, with friendly host/staff and a great breakfast.Our private bath was just down the hall, other rooms had ensuite bathrooms.Highly recommend this inn if you're passing through the area! Note:The property is slightly set back from a main thoroughfare; the A/C screened out any traffic noise for us.

Don't miss this hidden Gem

We absolutely loved the home and the staff. At first, didn't realize it was a Bed and Breakfast....that was the bonus. The "Care Takers" were warm and friendly. And this OLD home, was not old at all. It was very well taken care of and maintained. Breakfast was delicious. The front porch with rocking chairs, and the river ran past the property. Short walk to a small downtown area with shops and restaurants. Hope to stay again soon. Our stay here was because we were passing through. We wish we stayed longer!!!!

Midweek getaway

Quant bed and breakfast tucked into a small town. Older building, like most b&b's, so you can hear a lot of sounds. The room we stayed in was perfect for a romantic get away. Breakfast was awesome. Stayed here before and definitely will again. Also, if they are open I strongly recommend heading to Tilton H.O.P., some of the best greek style pizza in all of NH less than a half mile away.

Pros: the room was large enough for 2 adults and 1 teenager, breakfast was good, staff puppy dog was adorable, convenient location, owners responded quickly to texts. Cons: owners not on sight, lots of needs for repairs, the room was excruciatingly hot with no ability to adjust the temp, dog running around the kitchen didn't seem right, baked goods and drinks in common area were not replenished sorting the stay and what was out was stale. Side note... couple who tended the inn were on and off friendly. Drank openly outside (beer and hard alcohol) - neither ever introduced themselves which was odd. Walked into a drumming and spiritual medium class in the living room - felt disruptive going in and out but it was our only option at the time and they were in the living room/entrance so little we could do there. Main Street traffic was loud so something to consider. We've stayed at a number of B and B's. This was not the worst by any means, but not the best for the price in our opinion.

Black Swan

I stayed there two times over 5 days, it was a nice space but was sort of old, had electrical issues with CPap (no outlets near end table and most were two prong) and narrow stairs and toilet was really low, stuff like that.
