This little Inn made our New Hampshire vacation feel like home away from home! It really is a darling place and the Innkeepers were so delightful. I would highly recommend to anyone staying in Exeter. I would happily return in a heartbeat! We loved it x10! My husband found this spot and I told him I gave him 11 stars out of 10 for picking the perfect lodging!

Michele

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The area around the Inn is amazing. Parking limited only 5 spaces. The room looked run down, dirty toilet brush, badly stained paint around the bathroom door framing, heater didn't work. For $650 a night with no breakfast included, beware this is not a B and B breakfast costs extra so it's a BWB bed without breakfast. No vanity products or tea/coffee in the room. Would not recommend staying here, poor value for money.

Manager refused us check-in because I have a service dog (cardiac alert)! This was completely illegal and we will be filing an ADA complaint, as well as a grievance with the state of New Hampshire.
