Elegant Charming Victorian

We love it here. Lunch in the Tea Parlor is fabulous. We always look forward to the new monthly menu. (They offer gluten free items too if you let them know in advance). We attended our first Murder Mystery Dinner and booked a room for the night. We had a great time. Jim and Pam are exceptional hosts. It's the small details like tea, small sweets, robes in the rooms, etc. that make it feel like home.We can't wait to do it again!

Thanks for the 5-star review! You two were great characters and obviously good costumes. So glad you two enjoyed it and I look forward to seeing you this New Years (if not before:)).

Spent a Murder Mystery Weekend at the Silver Fountain Inn from 11/10-11/12. We had such a fun and exciting time! We met some great people including the owners of the Inn, Jim and Pam. Jim and Pam made you feel so at home!

The Inn is beautiful! A beautiful Victorian home! The rooms are all different and have their own personality. The room are kept very clean!

The Murder Mystery was so much fun! My face hurts from all the laughter! Everyone really got into their character!

The food at the Inn is amazing!

We will definitely be back to this Inn!!!

You two were great and we can't wait for the next one you're involved in! It was the first time we heard everyone clap when they met their demise:) Both of you played your parts so well! Thanks for the great review!

Jim and Pam were excellent hosts. We came for a murder mystery weekend, which was a lot of fun! We'll definitely be back. The "Chamber" room was very large with a huge bathroom. The private entrance with private porch was adorable. The entire B&B has gorgeous, Victorian decor and the breakfast is not to be missed. The location is great for walking into town. Dover is very cute and there are plenty of great restaurants and places to shop. We especially loved the 7th Settlement Brewery and the Thirsty Moose.

Room tip: The Chamber is large, but on the main floor and not as quiet as others might be.

My husband and I made a spur-of-the-moment overnight trip to the NH Film Festival in Portsmouth. The hotels downtown were mostly booked solid and very expensive. I found the Silver Fountain Inn on TripAdvisor and they had one room left, so I grabbed it. It was only a 15 minute drive to downtown, and a nice little B&B.

Room tip: I would suggest a room that has an en-suite bathroom.

Six of us gals went for a wonderful luncheon and tea this past week. What a fabulous place. This is the perfect place to take a granddaughter and share the idea of a real tea party. The luncheon menu was fabulous and we all choose a different menu item. Everything made right there. We then had tour of the Inn and it's rooms. Lovely and would be a great place for a group of ladies. They even have etiquette lessons. What a nice idea.

Wow...this place is FANTASTIC! We had lovely personalized service for our high tea service (our server asked us our names at the beginning and then used them throughout our tea...I've never heard of a place doing that before). Food and tea were so yummy and we loved the atmosphere and beautiful tea setting. We are definitely coming back!
