We have stayed at Hearthside Village on two occasions. Overall we had a good experience and would return again. Gave it 4 stars but 3 1/2 stars more closely represents our experience.
Pros
* Great location and proximity to White Mountains scenery and attractions
* Close to downtown Bethlehem shops and restaurants
* Reasonably priced, even in high season
* Charming/quaint exterior and grounds
* Most units have fireplaces, Duraflame logs are available for purchase
* Towels and bed linens smelled fresh, clean towels provided daily
* Individual parking spaces next to each unit
* Hospitality room with wifi service
* We were able to connect to wifi in our cottage and had cell service
* Friendly property owner/manager on grounds at all times
* Cable television
* Refrigerator in room (some rooms equipped differently)
* Dresser drawers and a closet for clothes
Cons
* Uncomfortable saggy bed, woke up with sore backs
* Dated, rustic interior (hot water heater exposed in bathroom, bathroom door had a gap between the door and the door jam, slightly compromising privacy). To some, the vintage charm is part of the appeal but we find it to be a bit too rustic for our tastes.
* Shower is TINY (must be a contortionist to shave your legs)
* A note from management in the room asks guests to vacuum and clean the room themselves before checking out. This is to keep costs down but we still found it a bit off-putting.
If you are looking to get away to the White Mountains for a few days without spending a fortune on a B&B, this place is just right. It has been around for a long time and has many loyal repeat guests. But if you're looking for luxurious accommodations, this may not be the place for you. read more
