    Breakfast at the inn
    Adria R.

    A very sweet, quiet, comfortable place to stay! We stayed in the Jennifer room which was perfect for two friends traveling together. There's a king bed in the main bedroom as well a twin bed in its own little nook. The rooms are basic but comfortable with everything you'd need. The inn itself is an old sprawling New England house and funky with lots of interesting details. Not fancy, but tastefully decorated. The inn has a friendly host, Dennis, who is available and accommodating. We took the canoe out one day and a two person kayak the next. The lake was so peaceful and beautiful! It's a very rural area so it's not a hot vacation spot, it seems like a lot of family owned homes rather than vacation rentals. There's not a whole lot to do so plan to bring a book, a swimsuit (in summer), and a willingness to unplug. We drove around and found a sculpture garden and several covered bridges. In the winter it would be cozy too, with a wood stove and a parlor with games. We had dinner at the Flying Goose Brew Pub, which was just fine. Basic American food (good but no frills), friendly staff, and only about 5 minutes from the inn. Breakfast at the inn was incredible... home made hash, poached eggs with hollandaise, hot biscuits, fresh fruit, coffee and juice. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

    Seeking a special getaway to the Lake Sunapee region, we opted for this B+B in nearby North Sutton on its own little Kezar Lake. What a lovely place to stay. Our first afternoon upon check-in we borrowed a kayak available to Follansbee Inn guests to explore the lake, seeing a closeup a trio of loons diving for fish and making their unique bird sound. Guests may also use the inn's canoes and bikes. Breakfasts are a notable feature at Follansbee Inn, prepared by Dennis, the chef/owner. Each morning Denis prepared a hot full selection of Creole cuisine fare. One day we enjoyed wild blueberry waffles, fresh fruit, a meaty dish and cheesy grits, the next day egg frittata, melon and a wonderful Angel flaky biscuit. Yummy. Several good restaurants are in the area towns of New London/Newbury/Sutton and Sunapee. Be sure to visit the John Hay estate at "The Fells" and take a lake cruise on the MV Sunapee and try to stay at the Follansbee Inn during fall foliage time as the reflection of the tree-lined Kezar Lake will surely be breathtaking.

    Just finishing up a 2 week stay at this quaint country inn. A beautiful setting and a well cared for building. The owner, Denis, cooked up a unique breakfast with something different every day, usually inluding at least one Louisiana specialty (Denis's home state), and fresh fruit. We had one of the king bed rooms w/pvt bath. Some rooms have a shared bath. The lake is small, just right for lazy quiet kayaking.

    Took my kids there for a weekend and had an amazing time. Dennis, the owner, was super nice about getting out and putting away boats on the lake. Also, the breakfast was amazing every day. Looking forward to our next trip out there!

    Warm and cozy sitting room.

    This is a very charming New England Inn. Across the street from Keizer Lake. The Innkeeper Dennis is very friendly and his dog Angel so sweet. We are looking forward to Sunday morning breakfast .

    We were seeking a short stay for a sleep before boarding at Ragged Mountain. Patick, the manager…read moretook our reservation and once we arrived, pampered us during our 12 hour stay. We arrived around 7 PM after an easy 3 hour drive from the Cape. Patrick enthusiastically welcomed us. We had brought our dinner and wine and he set us up in a little table, providing wine glasses and offering us homemade cookies for dessert. These little touches meant a lot. The Inn from the outside, is quaint. Inside it's got little touches to create a warm welcoming vibe. This place is perfect for families with the game room and indoor pool. The common area had a game room and small library (old titles). The big screen TV was used most of the night of our stay by some cute kids. Our room was small and featured a double bed which was a bit tight for us. The bathroom was equipped with L'Occitaine apothecaries. Such a nice touch. The shower was hot and there were plenty of towels. One thing Patrick alerted us to was, the place is not quiet. He was right. Doors slammed and voices could be heard easily. You could hear water running, toilets flushing and more. With that said, we went with the flow and by bed time, it was silent. We are used to B & B's so expected this noise factor. Thankfully, our neighbors went to bed early. The room rate included homemade breakfast. They serve delicious gourmet tea and good coffee. There was homemade muffins (wish they were hot). I chose an omelette and my boyfriend chose the egg sandwich. Our server was really sweet and did everything to insure our experience was wonderful. The food was good and filling. We departed at 8 AM to hit the slopes for first tracks. The only negative was the smell of pot pourri that permeates the public areas. I am highly sensitive to smells and was uncomfortable. Thanks Patrick for being a kind host.

We had a very small ceremony outside. The grounds are breathtaking and the rooms extraordinary. The food was outstanding from a scrumptious breakfast to an outstanding barbecue for our guests. He was always present to lend a hand. The weekend was a huge success thanks to Patrick, his staff and the beauty of the New Hampshire Mountain Inn, most certainly a place to you must stay.

The room was absolutely adorable and exactly what I would have hoped for in a quaint B&B up in the mountains! There was a giant whirlpool tub in the room and a little balcony right outside our door.

We also had a new cheese board each day to snack on, and all was local products from NH! I've stayed at B&Bs before, but have never had an experience even remotely close to this one! Thank you Linda and George for making this past weekend one I will not soon forget!!

My husband and I went skiing at Mt. Sunapee and searched for a nearby place to crash. There were not many options besides bigger motels, this option was perfect. The home has 3 guest bedrooms, all appointed with top of the line furnishings, 2 have mountain views. We had the apple blossom room. The bathroom had an awesome jetted tub that George showed us how to use. It was so high tech it even has a button to clean itself after. The bedroom was impeccable with a light carpet and no trace of wear on it. The bed was comfy and the room had a little deck and LCD TV. Outside is a big yard and little barn area with chickens. Linda left a plate of cheese and fruit out of us at our arrival. After skiing it was the perfect snack. I thought that was good then when we returned from dinner, she had put out a plate of home made cookies. We ate them by the fire with tea. She takes pride in the food she offers, even having a tea menu and serving in a individual pot. George saw we enjoyed the fire and brought in more logs to keep it going. Breakfast in the morning was incredibly filling and yummy. She started us with caramelized pears and Greek yogurt, then a plate of their own eggs, ham, corn-cakes and fruit. On the side we had a moist orange nut bread. While we were there, there was 1 other woman staying and we chatted her up. While we were getting ready to leave, Linda gave me a cookbook calendar with some of the recipes used in her breakfast. What a great way to leave and as a newlywed I'm already planning to make some recipes soon. I hope to come back in the summer too to explore and use the nearby lake. In the winter they have snowshoes to borrow. I highly recommend this place for an all seasons getaway.

The website says there is a private beach, but that may be outdated because the owner only had a pass to the local public beach which was on the other side of the lake.

Though it was a little hairy getting all the way to the 3rd floor with itty bitty stairs on the staircase from the 2nd to 3rd floors. Room #8, was small, but spacious and extremely comfortable. Its been a long time since I slept on such a comfortable bed and that includes sleeping on my own bed! The Inn has free WiFi, and nice common area sitting rooms. The dining room was nice and they have printed menus which you fill out each night so breakfast can be prepared for you the next morning. Dennis and Roberta are so friendly, as is Vicki who is the housekeeper and assists with breakfast in the morning. They run a great B&B and I look forward to future visits when I'm back in the area for another reunion or visit to the college. Highly recommend you making a reservation at this lovely B&B, right off the highway and within 3 miles of New London, close to Sunapee and skiing and Sunapee Harbor. A great location, and a great place to stay!!

But we truly enjoyed each handcrafted breakfast in this beautiful historic home including beautiful fruit starters, baked fritatas, homemade muffins and wonderful service by Stan. We learned they also serve dinner and brunch. Our dinner last night was wonderful. We had locally made cider that impressed my British husband and the dinner was fresh and made with care. I had Chicken Kiev and my husband the blackened Salmon both served with the vegetable of the night tender roasted Brussels sprouts and light and fluffy mashed potatoes. We had indulged while we were out so did not go for the appetizers or beet salad that looked amazing. We chose to have some wonderfully prepared aperitifs rather than desert and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The attentive service, warm fireplace, beautiful room made our meal perfect. This morning I remembered to take pictures of the brunch which blew me away. Again the food was great: perfectly cooked frittata this time with ricotta and mushrooms, tender scalloped potatoes lightly enhanced by a lovey cheesy sauce, French toast served with maple cream, and the best corn chowder I've ever had. Come try the food even if you have other accommodations. It's a wonderful place to relax and enjoy some wonderful food in a beautiful historic inn with a lovely property.

We were traveling with our two children and chose the inn because it appeared to be a traditional New England property in a convenient location. Condition of the Property: The building and interiors appear not to have been updated in decades. Much of the furniture, fixtures, and decor looked extremely worn and outdated. Rather than feeling historic or charming, the property felt neglected. Cleanliness: Several areas of the inn appeared poorly maintained and not particularly clean, which made it difficult to relax in the room or common areas. Management Interaction: Our interaction with the manager, Stan, was uncomfortable. He came across as dismissive and unwelcoming, which made the stay feel even more awkward. Overall Atmosphere: The general condition of the building was unsettling enough that our children were actually frightened and asked if we could leave and stay somewhere else. While the location could be appealing, the property seems to need significant updates, improved upkeep, and a more welcoming approach to guests.
