We stayed here for one night. The room was quite small, but it was perfect for a good night's rest. When we arrived, we had dinner and tried their pumpkin bisque soup, which was possibly the yummiest soup I’ve ever had! I can only imagine how delicious all their other dishes must be. The owner was very friendly, accommodating our last-minute booking, and even helped my pregnant friend carry her bags up to our room. It's a very cute and quaint inn, and we had a lovely stay.

Stayed here for a wedding and had my dog with me. Was so excited that they had dog friendly rooms! The staff was so amazing and kind and welcomed me and my dog with no issues. I had forgotten toothpaste and they had an entire new full sized tube out back that they gave me! Room was absolutely quintessential New England. It is old but charming. I would stay again in a heartbeat and recommend to anyone.

I can't comment on the rooms because I only ate at the restaurant. The staff are incredibly friendly, and they work their tails off! The service was wonderful! Lynn was the bartender tonight. I think she knew 75% of the people in the restaurant, and by the end of my meal, I felt like I could have been one of the regulars. And I'm probably going to become one because the food was that damn good! I can't even begin to find a word good enough to describe how insanely awesome the buffalo wings were! And, then... I got a special surf and turf meal since it's New Year's Eve day. My fiiet was cooked perfectly, and the sauce complemented the meat very well. After digesting my meal for a bit and making new friends at the bar, I ordered their apple bread pudding. I don't care what part of the state you live in you have to go to this restaurant and try their apple bread pudding! I had a childhood flashback like the food critic from Ratatouille when I took a bite of this dessert! The entire experience was absolutely phenomenal.

What a quaint place to stop for dinner. Our server Aiden was wonderful , we had a nice chat with him about the area. The food was good and a lot of it. The handout fries were wonderful. The burger was huge with onion rings in it and the goat cheese and beet salad was delicious

Very fortunate to stumble upon this warm and cozy place. We had just completed a 6 mile, wintery hike and were frozen though! The staff were friendly and inviting and the fireplace was a great touch! The food was absolutely fantastic and I appreciated some of the unique presentation the dishes had. Looking forward to going back!
