This is the place to go if you want to just get away from everything, yet still have the option to do nothing or everything in one place. My husband and I wanted a romantic getaway, we stayed in the Raphael Bedchamber. The room was amazing, just the right size for two, spotless, couldn't find a speck of dust if I tried. The fireplace was great and I am sure the jacuzzi was, but we didn't try it out. When we arrived, we could not see the view out of our huge patio door, it was very foggy. It was a pleasant surprise to finally see it the morning we were leaving, completely amazing! I would stay there again just for the view!
I've read reviews about the inn when it was under former management and was skeptical about going there, yet we decided to give it a try because the rates were great just before Christmas week (other places we looked at were over priced), and the new reviews looked good.
Our expectations were met and exceeded, we felt welcome. The breakfasts were amazing. It felt very country, homey, and warm being there. If you are the person who likes modern and cutting edge, this might not be for you. It was like going back in time and enjoying a weekend when life was much more simple!
I really liked the area too, despite cold and nasty weather, we could still explore a little in downtown and walk from shop to shop. The restaurants are great. I highly recommend the Flatbread company (in the Eastern Slope Inn) for casual dinners, and Horsefeathers - their lobster roll was amazing and the potatoes to die for, we asked for more and they brought a huge portion and didn't charge for it.
In bad weather, a great place to go with or without kids is the Mt. Washington weather exploration center right in downtown. It was fascinating! We really want to come back when it gets warmer, there is even more to do in the spring and summer months.
Trish and Elaine are very nice innkeepers. Keep up the great work!
