Independent in Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee Region from AU$166

"We felt very welcome and comfortable there."

"Dowds' Country Inn was beautiful and picturesque, and charming in that way that only old buildings can be. The sign was very difficult to read at night, but once we found the place, we loved it. Just beyond the inn parking lot you could see a beautiful herb and vegetable garden. The entryway was beautiful and inviting. My partner and I entered the lobby and found it warmly lit, with a sign expressing regrets that no one could be there to greet us (we were arriving late at night). On the front desk, we found a laminated info sheet on checking in with my name written on it in dry erase marker, as well as our room number and key. We shuffled quietly upstairs into our room, which was fresh and clean. The room included a bed, dresser, sink/vanity, and closet with and iron and ironing board. The bathroom included a standing shower and toilet, with an overhead light and a red heat lamp setting. We heard there was a complimentary breakfast and went down to eat in the morning. We found some well-stocked tea and coffee stations, but no food, and were confused until a staff member came out and took our order (there was a signboard listing our options of French toast or pancakes with blackberries, or yogurt with fruit and granola, plus milk or orange juice) and she made our breakfast to order. It was absolutely delicious. There's not much going on in Lyme, and we were staying to attend a nearby wedding, but this charming little inn is worth a stop, even if only for the French toast. "

"Clean, modern hotel with the quickest check-in I've ever experienced. Only drawbacks are no indoor pool and the internet was spotty when I was there (pro tip; use the Marriott Conference wi-fi rather than Guest)"
