The whole stay was wonderful. The inn is beautifully decorated. The staff were very personable and friendly. The tea bar was amazing and it was so cozy to be able to bring a pot of tea up to our room to enjoy with warm cookies in the evening. Breakfast was delicious and the service was outstanding.

10/10 Exceptional

The inn was delightful, the breakfast, delicious, and the staff very friendly and accommodating. The steps to the 3rd floor were a bit challenging for an 85 yr-old, but were carpeted and had a good banister. The 2 rooms I rented were small but lovely, with everything you could want available, except only one of the rooms had a comfortable lounging/reading chair. I would be happy to stay again....maybe choosing to be on a lower floor.

This is a beautiful property with a great breakfast, a very pleasant proprietor with a great bed. It's also just a short drive from I-95 near the Maine/New Hampshire border and the perfect place to rest on a longer drive through New England.

Absolutely loved this bed-and-breakfast. It is a beautiful old Victorian, which is kept very well with a lot of history. It's in a very nice neighborhood in Dover and very walkable. There is always tea and coffee and cookies available and breakfast was served on their porch and it was delicious. I would definitely return to this bed-and-breakfast
