The lobby area is very nice and also has a nice breakfast set up. The room was very roomy, clean, warm and comfortable. There is a sitting area, desk, closet and plenty of storage. The bed was especially nice. I loved the shower with the large rain head, very relaxing. The TV has plenty of channels and is set up for easy watching. I got a great price on the Aspen and was very happy with my stay. It looks like there are plenty of extras during the summer and I would definitely recommend a stay here.

The owners were wonderful and made you feel right at home -without the awkward feeling of obligation to chit-chat that can happen elsewhere. The place is about as adorable as it gets - without feeling kitschy. Each room is it's own little "cabin" and it feels as private as it can be - unlike a hotel. There's a free continental breakfast every morning and a sign up sheet for the next morning's hot breakfast (paid). As nervous as I was, the bed was comfortable and the room clean but still homey. The heating system worked perfectly, and we were totally comfortable even though one night was the first frost of the season! Everything about this place was charming and cozy. The only - ONLY - drawback I noticed (which wasn't even relevant to me since I'm still injured) was that it's not in a running-friendly location (no sidewalks just not highway but not regular road) and you'd have to drive a little to find a place to go. Downtown is freaking adorable and only like two miles away, so it's not too bad. I would go back in a heartbeat - and might have to make a trip in the summer to enjoy the back patio each room had!

From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by the peaceful surroundings, the charm of the old mill, and the warm welcome from Tom and Nicole (and their sweet black lab, Ember!). Tom gave us a quick tour when we checked in and shared a bit of the mill's history--his passion for the place is infectious. You can really tell he cares deeply about preserving its character. The room was cozy, spotless, and full of historic touches. Breakfast in the sunroom was a highlight each morning, especially the homemade quiche, croissants, and local eggs. We spent our days exploring trails, lounging by the swimming hole, and enjoying the quiet, natural beauty all around. It's rare to find a place that feels this authentic and personal.

You are familiar with the phrase "put lipstick on a pig?" Sometimes you end up with a beautiful…read morepig, actually. Such is the case with the Brittany, which is an old-school 10-room motor lodge of the type that used to be operated as a Ma-and-Pa business by owners who lived above the office and did all the work themselves. Many of these hotels have disappeared, most that remain are of somewhat questionable quality. Not so the Brittany: it has been reasonably spruced up and operated on a streamlined basis, such that (seriously, to my surprise) I had a better two-day stay than I had at the last two Hampton Inns I've stayed at. As noted, this is a self-service motel (it's so lo-fi, I'm tempted to call it a lo-tel) where you get a text with your room code and number and you let yourself in. The rooms are basic but comfortable (this may be the only hotel I've ever stayed at that didn't have "hotel art" on the walls, which was honestly kind of a pleasant change of pace). There is a breakfast room of sorts -- "The Gathering Place" -- which is a converted former room that has a cold a la carte self-serve selection of things. (The hotel is refreshed mysteriously while guests are out and about; I was up at 5 AM and the coffee, according to the machine, had been made nine minutes earlier, but I never even saw an extra car in the parking lot. Stealthy!) I wish the Gathering Place had been open a bit later than it was, as I wanted to play one of the games I had spotted at breakfast, but using Elf labor probably requires they lock it up a bit earlier. Similarly, there's a nice fire pit with a mountain view and adirondack chairs out front, but it's a mystery as to how one might use the fire pit without logs and such available. (BYO Duraflame?) The setting is quite peaceful, and while I could hear stirrings from the room adjacent -- there's only so much you can do with old construction to soundproof it -- the other occupants were quite quiet. Around you is a whole lot of nothing, although it's just a few minutes south of Manchester center, so getting provisions is easy. No microwaves in the rooms, but there's a mini-fridge, stocked with some complimentary water. The TV was also the tiniest screen I've seen in a room since CRT TVs went by the wayside, but all I wanted to watch was the Red Sox game, and they had NESN, so I soldiered on. There are a few other nits I could pick, but the old-school full-sized bathtub was a pleasant surprise and a big upgrade over all the identical awful shower-only bathrooms in almost every hotel around these days, so I will gloss over those nits. One particular kudos on the amenities: there was herb tea with the self-serve coffee! THANK YOU! It's appreciated by those of us who like a nice tisane before going to sleep. So this isn't a five-star hotel like the Four Seasons, but it's a five star motel within its class - decent value for the money, well-operated, quiet. The quiet part is all I really want from a hotel stay (that and having a door that locks correctly) and the lovely surroundings and the very very low key breakfast were big plusses.

Okay, first of all, let me address the people who say that the decor is "outdated". If you are the…read moretype of person who has to buy new shoes every nine months, not because they are worn out, but because they have become "outdated", then you may agree with these reviews. If you, however, are a bit more objective than that, and have less than 75 pairs of shoes, then you won't. I tried, but was unable, to find anything in a state of disrepair in my room. The rooms are HUGE! And, they overlook a beautiful babbling brook and nicely kept back yard with a killah (I'm from MA) Vermont mountain behind it! They have many pairs of Adirondack chairs strategically placed out there as well, to experience this up close, which wasn't for me, because my view from my room was good enough, and in here I have TV! Furthermore, the windows open wide; you fresh air lovers will love this feature. Please realize that this is an Inn, not a hotel, so there is not a 24 hour desk clerk. They do everything themselves, including the maid's work. This is how they keep the prices low, and the quality high. I am not a paid shill, but I may have had a couple of glasses of wine while I wrote this in my room, which is marvelous, just in case I did not mention that yet.

Honestly, this place was waaaay nicer too, in my opinion. My room was large, even if somewhat outdated, but God, the view of the forest from the room's large windows was unbelievable. I was mesmerized watching the falling leaves from the trees. There was a lounge area on the first floor with a coffee bar, seating, games, etc. I wish the fireplace was going, but my girlfriends and I split a bottle of wine and hung out for a few hours. Awesome inn that I would definitely stay at again.
