There are places to walk to for coffee, snacks, and some shopping if you want to pop out. The inn also has a snack/bar area for coffee, teas, soda, etc that is always accessible. I love The Gilmore Girls and this inn makes me think that that's what the show's Dragonfly Inn was trying to capture- like the perfect New England B&B. Breakfast was delicious too and so welcomed after having to eat in airports for too long. The guys whipped up tasty treats for us and really made each night's stay feel magical.

The bed and pillows were divine, some of the best we have enjoyed a night's sleep on, and we have stayed in many fine hotels. Our walk-in shower was also quite wonderful. Even though breakfast was not included as part of our stay, all we had to do was walk around the corner to a bakery that offered espresso and breakfast items. My main complaint with our room was that we were at the front of the inn, which exposed us to street traffic (there was a fair amount of traffic for a small town!), but our room was also above their small private dining room. One evening the party downstairs didn't end until about 1:00 am. Talking and laughter woke me several times.

Worth noting that this place is in the process of being updated. With that said, I actually quite…read moreliked this hotel. There's a bar/restaurant inside which is really convenient (we only had dessert and drinks so I can't speak to it so much) but it's definitely historic and old and that shows- weird random cutouts and crevices, older heating system etc. The bathroom is literally massive, and the beds comfortable. My gripe is that the shower is ridiculous. There's almost zero space to put personal items and it has what I call the "London shower" (sorry Londoners- trauma from the first time I saw one of these) where there's a weird half shower wall (no curtain or sliding door). I hate it a lot. Water gets everywhere and I don't really see why this was the choice? Overall, would stay again. Would love to see the renovations!

The chef's table in the kitchen where Nick serves his magic. Unfortunately, since we always like a ground floor room, it was like the dinner was taking place in our room. For three nights the party rolled on from six to nine. The dinner guests also took over the common area so you were pretty much stuck in your room. Nick is a doll, and from what we read about him in the newspaper, a super star. The inn needs to inform guests on the first floor that the noise is loud from these dinners and that the common areas will not be accessible during these times. That being said everyone we spoke with about these dinners said they were fabulous and worth not only the cost but the wait. I can only suggest that the owners convert one of the bedrooms into a common area for guests of the inn only. We left for one night on Sunday and returned on Monday for another stay. It was amazing!!! It was quiet and relaxing, and our fireplace was fixed. The upside is that our room was beautiful and there was lots of storage. The bathrooms are large and the shower is very nice once the water heats up. There was only one end table, but that seems to be the trend which is very odd to us. There is no breakfast served at the Inn. You get little bees, worth twelve dollars, and have to walk to the Honey Cup which is about three blocks away. Fine in good weather, which we were fortunate to have, but I would think not so great if it is raining or snowing. Hence, the Inn is more like a Airbnb. The Manager, Lee, is a ten out of ten. She tries to accommodate the needs of every guest. She is so sweet and kind and helpful. Nothing we have complained about is her fault. She goes out of her way to ensure you have the best stay possible!!!

It was plenty of room for one person but two adults, might feel a bit cramped in the room I was given. A few improvements would easily bump this to a 5 star review. The pros include: - The limited staff were very friendly. - My king room was clean, comfy and quiet. - Parking and breakfast is free. - Great location to walk downtown area. The cons: - I booked my reservation (direct through Hyatt partnership) the day before arrival but upon check-in there were issues it eventually got sorted out. - Elevator is out of order as of mid-March. - Limited staff, so basement bar hours aren't exact. - Room TVs are smart, no cable, so they depend on Internet and my tv lost connection a few times. All in all, the charm of the building and the pros mentioned, far out weigh the few cons. If I ever return to Portsmouth, I'd gladly stay here again.

We really wanted to like the Lady Mary Tea House at the inn, but we were sadly disappointed…read more First, we had our tea and sandwiches inside the pretty tea house, but wanted to be seated outside because it was a pleasant day. We counted at least 8 tables with chairs on the pretty porch, but were told we could not do that. They should rethink that, IMO. Our tea arrived in small, personal teapots, but within a few minutes, the tea became cold- there was no tea-cozy or tea warmer provided to keep it hot. I have been to many tearooms and never not had a warmer for my tea. The four sandwich offerings were pretty enough- but very bland in taste. The scones came out with the dessert selections, oddly enough- which we did enjoy very much. Overall, we were not very impressed with our experience, and probably will not return.

A true, traditional, historic B and B can't be beat, and that is what Timber Post is! She dealt with my questions very helpfully over the phone before arriving, and then the moment I arrived. Vivian has every little beautiful or welcoming detail covered, and the place is immaculately clean. There are intriguing antiques and pictures everywhere to add to the ambiance. The breakfast is sumptuous, but despite all that work, she was kind enough to make me something I preferred. I stayed two nights, at the start and end of my road trip, in two different parts of her lodgings. Both were lovely. It's quiet, for a light sleeper like me, and also important for a woman traveling alone, I felt safe. Vivian even has done the genealogy on the Inn from its early years, and discovered she's descended from the some of the original owners! She said how the community there has been so kind to her. Now that's real sense of place. I highly recommend Timber Post for a true New England Bed and Breakfast experience, in rural Hollis. A delight.

Note: I deleted and reposted this, bc her response illegally posted some personally identifiable information. The response also showed the inability to internalize feedback, and misguided perspective on that feedback. Example: We SHOWED her the booking.com website where it clearly stated private bathroom in multiple places. I've added the photo to show that it said private bathroom, and yet she's insisting that it does not show this. This is how delusional she is.

Have stayed here about 4 times over the past few years visiting our children at summer camp. The owners, Janet and Doug, are wonderfully friendly and charming folks who I have really enjoyed getting to know. Their home is a lovely old farm house with a great deal of charm; lots of antiques, some low ceilings, creaky floors, antique locks on the doors, etc. The rooms are small, but comfortable. You'll find a few cob webs and a little dust, but this is a trifle. Janet makes a cooked-to-order breakfast often asking what you'd like the night before. She is an excellent cook. The best part of a visit to the Inn is the idyllic backyard (see photo) which is immaculately kept and is stunningly beautiful. It is quite relaxing and serene. Sit and listen to to the quiet. Once you sit down and take in the view, you do not want to move. There is also a screened-in porch for those wishing to avoid the sun and flying annoyances. The property also has access to a nearby pond which is a short walk via a path through the woods across the street. Canoeing and rowing is possible, or simply sit and take in the water view and others enjoying the lake. The Meadow Farm Bed and Breakfast is a lovely oasis.

My boyfriend and I spent a night at the Samuel Fitch House this past weekend, and it was fantastic…read more The website does not do it justice! The house itself is a 300-year-old farmhouse that has been owned by only 5 families throughout its history. Most of the original structure remains today, giving the place an authentic rustic feel -- not kitchy, like so many other bed & breakfasts. The hostess is cheerful and charming, and more than happy to give you a tour of the grounds (including a tunnel in the basement that was part of the underground railroad!). For us, she made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies fresh upon arrival. We stayed in the Carriage House, which really is a bargain for the space. The two-story suite includes a fireplace, kitchenette, television, desk, couch, armchair, and small table with two chairs. This is in addition to an outdoor porch attached to the unit, and the beautiful upstairs bedroom (with air conditioning). Breakfast was delectable, made exactly to our preferences, and served on a screened-in porch overlooking the gardens. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! I'd definitely stay here again, and would absolutely recommend this to any couple looking for a quick getaway from Boston.
