“Romantic and amazing B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

My husband and I decided to book a last minute weekend getaway for some relaxation and romance in January. The Manor was perfect. Our room had a fireplace (we made 4 fires that weekend!) and a huge bathtub. The rooms were clean and nicely decorated. The wine list was very good for New Hampshire and the food was great. The morning breakfast (included in the rate) has a menu, which is a great touch, and you can order numerous things off the menu. My husband had turkey hash AND oat raspberry pancakes AND their delicious homemade pastries. It was truly an awesome breakfast...especially right by the fire. We ended up skiing a half day at Loon, but it was also very close to Waterville and Gunstock. We had an expensive dinner at the inn and had some of the best steak tartare I've ever had. We found it very convenient (less than 2 hours from Boston), loved the views, the food and the rooms.

Room Tip: Pick a room overlooking the pond and with a fireplace.

“Lovely, friendly, personalized experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2013

The owners and staff of the Manor make this already wonderful place even more amazing. They were helpful, friendly, caring (when our car broke down), and accommodating (vegan tasting menu in the dining room, special dessert for my husband's birthday, help in planning nearby activities).

If you want a cozy, charming place with great food and a terrific staff (just the right amount of care - not overbearing in any way), stay here. We had a great time.

Room Tip: we had a luxury suite, pricey but nicey (fireplace, jacuzzi tub, steam shower, etc.)

“Not good enough for the money”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2012

We stayed in the Avon room. We had really been looking forward to our stay. We were really disappointed! The room looked great in pictures but not as nice in reality. Looks a bit tired and grubby. It was raining very heavily and as Avon is a the top of the house it was very noisey. The fireplace was leaking rain.
Dinner was really expensive. The dining room really needs a refurb. The ceiling had rain water pouring through it. All the waitress did was put containers under it. We were right next to the leak and there were loads of empty tables but no offer to move us. The chef ruined the lobster dish, it was completely dried out and rubbery.
Breakfast was a joke, I asked the waitress for maple syrup with my pancakes when I placed my order. When they arrived no syrup. I asked again. 5 mins later still no syrup. Despite the fact I looked really cross and wasn't eating my breakfast all 3 members of staff including a manager continued serving everyone else but our table. In the end I got up and stood in the kitchen entrance until someone paid attention to me. By this point I had stone cold pancakes and no one offered to heat them. Both meals had poor service and poor food.
We won't be returning or recommending!!!

“Quiet but.........”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 22, 2012

For the expense of this manor we expected more. We had a very nice and comfortable room with a wonderful fireplace. Tea time was very nice with little finger sandwiches and lemon bars. Breakfast was fine. We especially liked the idea of being able to order off a menu. Now, what we didn't like was being greeted (evening & morning) by the personel in shorts and running shoes. In a place such as this, dress should be smart. The exterior of the building seemed to need some serious maintenance. Would we go back again? Probably not.
