This is a beautiful property in a great location. The staff is friendly and very professional. Everything was clean and welcoming, and the tea parlor is a lovely, refined touch. There's plenty of parking available, which was very convenient. I also felt very safe during my stay. Highly recommended!

This property is not for the disabled or mobility challenged. The stairways are very steep without handrails to hold and are dangerous for mobility. We did not stay as my husband (who is disabled) could not climb the steep stairs to the second level. Even the entry steps at the front of the building have no handrails for stability.

The inkeeper Kim made check in a breeze. She kindly gave us an orientation to the property, and this house is just one of a kind! If you love character homes, this house is a must see. Our room was cozy and comfortable. There are many cozy spots to relax and enjoy the property.

We stayed on the 3rd floor. It was clean and quiet. The room was a little dark, but the bed was comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious. There were nice perks like coffee and tea available all day. We weren't able to try the teatime, but it looked lovely. The location was a short drive to the center of town.

Kim and the staff create a fantastic, welcoming environment. My wife and I had a four-night stay in May to attend our son's graduation from UNH. The accommodations were great, the coffee & tea service was great, and the breakfast (each of the choices) were wonderful (you have to try the scones!) We are so thankful for our opportunity to stay at The Silver Fountain Inn :)

Home away from home

Beautiful rooms, excellent service, and a delicious breakfast were just a few of the highlights of my recent stay at the Silver Fountain Inn. We selected this inn as it was in close proximity to the hospital where my husband was having surgery. Kim and her staff were most attentive and kind during this stressful time. We are so fortunate to have found such a lovely place with such caring innkeepers. Thank you!!!
