    Spacious beautiful room
    Teri T.

    My husband and I visited The Manor this past summer under new ownership. We procrastinated in posting a review, so here it is. If anyone hasn't come recently, you will be amazed at all the high end updates to the rooms, the dining area, the menu and wine list. The staff are excellent and made us feel like we were "Lord and Lady of the Manor". Exceptional service and a beautiful room.

    Delicious bolognaise
    Lauren J.

    My boyfriend and I stayed here for 1 night during our anniversary weekend at the end of March. I made the reservation 2 months in advance because I wanted to make sure that I got the room I wanted. We booked the Norfolk Suite which had a 2-person jacuzzi, fireplace and private patio with view of the lake and mountains. I did A LOT of research of places to go in New England and decided on Manor on Golden Pond because of the proximity to Boston, the price, the restaurant and great suite options. It did not disappoint! I will say that this was not a luxury space. The furnishings are older, there are some cracks and chips in tiles and paint, etc. But that is the vibe I wanted. It was clean, safe and romantic. Exactly what I was looking for on my anniversary weekend. I called ahead to make a 7 PM dinner reservation on Saturday night and reminded them that I wanted a mini fridge in the suite so that we could pop champagne in the evening by the fire. All of that was taken care of. I don't think that the restaurant has a separate Yelp page, so I'll put here that the food was phenomenal! I had the bolognaise and my boyfriend got the Manor Tournedos (steak duo). We were both very pleased. My portion was so large that I had to have it wrapped up and put it in the mini fridge for the next day. The vibe was romantic minus the one 3-top where a loud older woman talked about people dying for 45 minutes. Lol Back in the room, we filled up the jacuzzi and started the fire. It was a nice evening going back and forth between the chairs by the fireplace and the warm jacuzzi water. We had some drinks and relaxed all night. I asked the owner for some ice and inquired about a late check-out on Sunday. She said that 1 PM would be fine which is exactly what I was hoping for. In the morning, we had breakfast right after the dining room opened at 8:30 AM. We were the 2nd ones there, so we didn't get the table by the fireplace, but we took the same table we had for dinner by the window. They had a set up of pastries where you could help yourself and offered juice, tea and coffee. My boyfriend and I both got pineapple juice and saved it to take back to the room for pineapple mimosas - hee hee. We both got deliciously filling omelets (all the options you wanted) with toast and well-seasoned potatoes. The waitress at breakfast seemed to be doing a lot, so my boyfriend didn't get the coffee refill he wanted, but there are worse things in life. After breakfast we did our fire and water routine again as we got the jacuzzi and fireplace going and lounged with mimosas. I couldn't have asked for a more relaxing, romantic anniversary weekend. We checked out right before 1 PM and went on our merry way back to MA. My boyfriend has already inquired about the rates during peak fall foliage season (spoiler alert - the prices are high), but we may come back for another night anyway. We had a great time! FYI - because we had such a limited amount of time in the area, we didn't take advantage of the Manor's common area that had books and games or the on-site pub. Maybe we'll do a few nights for our next anniversary :-)

    Excellent wine list

    For me, the inn earned four stars for its charm and location. Rare in what's largely a summer resort area, the Manor reeks of old school authenticity. Sure - the building needs a refresh, but the rooms were spotless, the bathrooms recently renovated, and the bed was so comfortable. The location is simply unmatched. It was the perfect spot for a 48-hour solo getaway. The dining experience earned them the fifth star in my book. The new(?) chef's menu is ambitious and true to the area, featuring local fruits and vegetables, and some very-executed dishes. The summer salad, the seared sushi-grade tuna appetizer, and the steak dish stood out. And the equally ambitious wine list was very fairly priced. The three servers - who'd clearly been working together for ages - were so pleasant, so attentive, and worked so hard to create an upscale-bordering-on-formal summer experience in the era of COVID-19. A couple of hours in the wood-paneled dining room, with a gentle summer breeze, watching other couples enjoy birthdays and anniversaries, was just perfect. There were a few opportunities for improvement, but most were attributable to the absolutely devastating effect of the pandemic. As a fellow small business owner, I get it ... and these folks are putting their resources exactly where they should - safety, cleanliness, and guest experience. Everything else can wait.

    Enjoyed our stay at Manor on Golden Pond. This place really wowed me when I got there - right from the front door you have a view of the water and trees on the mountain. Our room was large and had a nice fireplace with logs ready to build a fire. The room was decorated w classical NE pieces of furniture and paintings, but there was a slight musty smell. Also wifi and cell phone service were spotty in and out of the Inn (but that may be a good thing). I was impressed w the menu and quality of the food. Only mishap was that one of my lobster sliders had a burnt/blackened brioche bun, it was quickly fixed. The morning breakfast was delicious - I tried the cranberry oat pancakes w maple syrup. Overall, the staff was friendly and the rooms were nice. On a summer weekend, this place seemed relatively full. It's conveniently located right at Squam Lake :-)

    On Thanksgiving they served precut turkey breast for $55.00. Not worth the price. Better restaurants out there.

    We spent two lovely evenings at Jane's Tea Rose Inn. While my personal style is more modern Crate…read moreand Barrel, I enjoyed stepping back in time to this ornately decorated Victorian B&B. Jane is a lovely host, and it is apparent she seeks to please her guests by cooking up hearty, tasty breakfasts. This is no measly continental buffet...We were prepared fluffy scrambled eggs, blueberry pancakes, buttery waffles, bacon, sausage, fresh fruit, coffee and orange and cranberry juice. Enough to stuff us and our bottomless pit teenage son, and she gladly accommodated his food allergies. If that wasn't enough, Jane also has coffee/tea available throughout the day, and some cookies/pastries for grab and go. The 3rd floor Shabby Chic space is roomy for families with children with three separate sleeping rooms. As converted attic space, the angled ceilings are a bit low, and the tricky stairs and ceilings make it more suited to young shorter guests (we're all 5'8" or less). Cleaning protocols seem really solid, including bed, bath, and dining spaces. My only criticism is that while the numerous dried and/or fake roses are part of the theme/decor, they inevitably collect a lot of dust - not great for those with allergy sensitivities.

    We made reservations on January 15, 2020, for 2 adults and two nights, August 19th and 20th. On the…read moremorning of August 18th (the day before the reservation) they called us and told us that they had double-booked the room and because the other party had booked prior to us, our reservation was canceled. They had our reservation for over eight months and waited until the day before we were to arrive to tell us they had double-booked the room and that we no longer had a reservation!! The Plymouth, New Hampshire area is notoriously difficult to get a room in the August timeframe. That is why we made our reservations in January. Now we are faced with paying $500+ a night for a room (if we can find one in the area) or having to travel an hour or more from a hotel room in another area to attend a wedding in Plymouth on the 20th. If this hotel really cared about its customers, they would have let us know immediately that the room was overbooked.

Had made deposits on two weekends, in January and I gave proper notice to cancel at least 10 days in advance on one weekend rental and at least 8 days on the other weekend rental. The policy of the rental deposit is if they able to re-book, they refund you your deposit back. The policy on website rental is, a minimum rental of 2 nights must be booked on Sat/Sun nights, or Sun/Mon nights in advance. They split up my rental bookings when they booked it both times(in other words, they rented Saturdays singly, and both Sunday nights, or Sunday and Monday nights were left out there singly alone). So, the rentals that they put out, were not the same rentals, as when I rented them. Hey, they are the owners, they can do what they want, but to rent for part of my rental period, and keep all of my deposit, just seems crappy. They then have refused to return any portion of either of my deposits. I have proof for both. Poor business practices in my opinion. I called and emailed multiple times, to inquire about why my two deposits had not been returned after they had re-booked, albeit under different rules, that they created. I spoke to the new property manager, they did not know what to say, or how to address my questions. They had to talk to the new owners. Never got back to me. So, in essence, BEWARE, if you have to cancel due to illness. Your deposit won't be returned or put on a future date. This is not like the previous owners, who were some very special people, very flexible people, who cared about their clients, and families, who made relationships that lasted a lifetime. Who wanted people to return to their cabins year after year. These new owners care about the almighty dollar bill. That's okay. I won't be going back.

After a few hundred more internet searches, we came across the affordable and convenient Pilgrim Inn and Cottages, and our weekend plans immediately started looking brighter. Granted, this experience is nowhere close to camping. But in the end, it was just what we wanted. The cottage we got (#114) was spacious with 2 full beds, a mini-fridge, microwave, A/C (enough of a reason to stay here by itself!), WiFi, and flatscreen TV. It also had a screened porch complete with table and chairs. Super comfortable! The cottage had a view of our car parked right in front (again - very convenient!), so you don't exactly feel like you're in nature. But if, like us, you spent 2 days out in nature hiking and ziplining, sometimes a bit of civilization is exactly what you need. The check-in and out process was smooth and service was friendly, with the sweet smell of incense filling the registration/breakfast room. And what is this?! Continental breakfast is included! I was so excited to see a waffle maker, so I whipped up some peanut butter & banana waffles. That sure hit the spot before a long day of roughing it! They also had yogurt, bagels, toast, cereal, coffee, juice, milk, and tea to ensure that you're off to a great start. Overall, Pilgrim is pretty perfect for the price! The location is great, just a short drive from the shops and restaurants of Plymouth (we enjoyed our dinner at Lucky Dog). It is also easy to get to some nice hiking spots in the White Mountains like Franconia. I'd be happy to return and recommend to others looking for a New Hampshire weekend escape.

Fast and efficient check in process. The room was fairly large for a queen bed and you can tell it is an older home but very well maintained. There as a small crack in the bathroom flooring, but very minor. We went out and met up with family and grabbed a pizza for our room. The room was well heated with no drafts which one would expect in such an old home. We slept very well, bed was comfortable. In the morning David greeted us and asked if we had a preference of where we wanted to eat! We were given a choice of the dining room or their lovely greenhouse porch. It was a beautiful day but a bit chilly. David was thoughtful enough to place a small space heater by our table to keep us warm, so wonderful! For breakfast we were not given a choice but recall Trevin asking if we liked eggs and bacon, absolutely! The eggs were baked with some cherry tomatoes halved and some light seasoning. He made this amazing bread stick. It was a croissant bread wrapped around a piece of bacon and baked off. Brushed with some Dijon and finished off with sesame seeds. YUM!!
