This is a lovely old inn. I'm not sure what to think of our experience but you can decide from what I write here.

I had checked their website on Friday (we were looking to book for that Saturday) and it showed 3 rooms available. I called as I figured this last minute the website might not be up to date.

When I called, I talked to Bill and I asked if he had any rooms available. He said, he had one. I made the reservation at $150/night.

We arrived on Saturday and found out there were in fact 3 rooms available, as I had seen on their website the day prior. When I inquired what was available, he seemed reluctant to let us know and show us the other rooms. It seemed he was bent on selling us the room that we had "reserved" rather than one of the other rooms, which were actually $20-30 cheaper per night, each with a separate detached bathroom. BUT because we reserved the room that was $150/night, we could stay in one of those other rooms, which we opted for as it was in the more quaint old section of the inn, but still had to pay the price for the $150 room. When we asked for a credit since we had taken the room that was a lower price, he refused as he said we had reserved the $150/night room. Well if he had told us that other rooms were available, we might have opted for one of those initially as we were using the inn as meeting point to catch up with my sister the next day, not as a honeymoon or getaway.

So my question is if he didn't tell us other rooms were available when we called, and then when we took one of the lower priced rooms when we were there, wouldn't you have thought he would give us a credit for the room difference? I think that is good business practice, to be honest with your guests.
There were also a couple of other incidents that, on this winter night, had me wondering. One being that they offered us cake and then took it away as we were unloading our bags from the car, only after we both had just said, "Oh, we'll have to have some with tea by the fire!" So something is fishy there. This stay had me questioning whether I want to deal with BnB owners quirks anymore and that perhaps we'll just skip them all together.

We've stayed at probably over 100+ inns in our time and I think I can spot something off kilter when I experience it.

Otherwise the inn is beautiful, clean and charming. Food is great and we enjoyed our day out, just had a bad feeling from the night before.

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at the Buttonwood Inn as part of our trip through New England for our 25th anniversary. We highly recommend it. This is where we learned about Select Registry inns - which is the only way we'll travel in the future!

We loved the fact that it was a restored (meticulously done!) farm house. Beautiful dining room, cozy fires in the living area, clean bedroom.

We had a great drive over Hurricane Mountain Road into Fryeburg, Maine where we visited Sherman Farms at the suggestion of our innkeepers. Very worth the drive.

Highly recommended inn.

We stayed at The Buttonwood Inn for 2 nights. Our room was very comfortable and clean. The innkeepers Elizabeth and Jeffrey gave us a very warm welcome into their home. Make sure you are hungry, breakfasts are a speciality and Elizabeth is a wonderful cook. This is a place to take it easy and sit on the porch watching the humming birds. We were coming to the end of our holiday and The Buttonwood rounded it off perfectly, Jeffrey and Elizabeth are the perfect hosts.

The Buttonwood Inn is by far THE BEST B&B we have ever stayed in. It is truly a 10! It's "off the beaten path" offers a little haven of peace surrounded by the mountains and beautiful grounds. The rooms could be photos out of a House Beautiful magazine. It truly gives you a feeling of "home". First impressions of Elizabeth and Jeff are not only warm and friendly, but you immediately enjoy being around them. And if that is not enough, it's all the little things that are added to make your stay comfortable and accomodating, i.e.; a little basket of treats upon your arrival, bathroom extra's like facial scrubs, toothpaste, and many other "little" touches that add up to alot.
My husband and I highly recommend this wonderful Inn - this is our second time and will not be our last.
