    Very Nice Stay and Good Food!
    My husband and I stayed for 3 nights to ski at Sunday River. The owners are very nice and we had a great stay. The pub and restaurant is very good and we will go back. The restaurant is open from 5 to 8 and has good, inexpensive specials on most nights.

    Convenient, warm and very friendly
    This is our second visit and it won’t be our last. The inn keepers work very hard to make you feel comfortable and well fed. As an inn and a pub it’s double the pleasure! Try their pizza, you won’t be disappointed. Food, service and comfy beds, love it there!

    Worth A Trip Just To Stay & Eat Here
    We stopped overnight in Bethel because it appeared to be such a neat village and we weren't disappointed. But we were blown away with the warm reception at the Briar Lea Inn. We were first greeted by cleaning staff, with first name introductions all around. Then they went off to…
