Beautiful, friendly and clean

Just had a 1 night stay at the Ballard house for a recent concert at BONH Pavilion. Bernadette met us at the front entrance and introduced herself (very warm and friendly). Showed us around quickly (as we had to get going as soon as we checked in). Waking up the following morning we enjoyed an incredible homemade breakfast served on the back deck overlooking a mountain range and lake in the distance. Food was great, room was comfortable and incredibly clean as the rest of the Inn was. I will definitely be coming back here again when I have a little more time to spend in the area. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, yet friendly and picturesque landscape for a little R+R.

The innkeeper was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and breakfast was good. Our room was on a very noisy road on the outskirts of town and needs updating. There are steep stairs leading up to the inn, then more stairs required to get to the rooms. They're not safe if you're carrying heavy luggage or have an injury or disability impacting your ability to use stairs.

A Warm Welcome

My wife and I would recommend the Ballard House to anyone. The facilities were spotless, and our hostess made us feel welcome from the first minute we arrived. The room in which we stayed was on the small side, but adequate for our needs. The common areas of the house are large and comfortable. Complimentary beverages, both hot and cold, were available 24/7. The breakfasts were amazing! They began with fresh fruit and proceeded to the main course, with whatever juices and hot beverages you might desire. Our first morning we had a stack of pancakes; the second a nice omelet. Alternatives/additional items like cereal, toast, etc, were available also. The wrap-around porch ends with a large deck in the back, with picture-worthy views of the lake and the surrounding hills.

This lovely old house serves as a B&B. Our room was very small, but we had a comfortable bed and our own bathroom. For one night that's all we needed. Sadly, we missed the breakfast which sounded yummy because we had to leave before the breakfast service began. They kindly left us some slices of blueberry bread and we made our own coffee in the morning to serve as breakfast. There was an excellent service bar for visitors offering complementary soft and hard drinks, ice, and ice water, coffee, tea, and wine. I would return when I need a room after a concert in the area.

While at Laconia Week 2023, we decided to stay an extra night and the hotel we were at was booked. I did a search on Hotels.com and found this property. We lucked out, it was such a fantastic location to spend our second night. Bernadette is an amazing host, we loved the breakfast and meeting other bikers who were also staying at the property. The bike parking in the barn was a definite bonus, as it was a rainy week. Many thanks to Bernadette and her team for a great stay, I hope to return in 2024!

We were there for our granddaughter’s wedding, which was held at Church Landing in Meredith, and he was very knowledgeable about the location, parking tips, what was nearby, etc.

We were on the first floor and when we return, we will request a room on the 2nd floor so we can enjoy our views. Outside our windows was the wrap around deck so we had to keep our shades down most of the time and were unable to enjoy the view from our room. The bed was a bit too soft for our sleeping comfort, but the sheets and bedding were exquisite.

Excellent stay and location

We had an amazing stay at The Ballard House. This historic home was beautifully decorated and a very comfortable place to stay and relax. The host, Fez was gracious and accommodating to all of our needs, great or small. Breakfast was fabulous and made fresh by the host daily. Hot coffee was always waiting for us when we woke, and we enjoyed evenings with a glass of wine on the porch swing. The inn was set on a hillside with outstanding views of Lake Winnipessaukee and close to recreation and dining. We stayed for a long weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend this place.

This is the nicest B&B we have stayed at in the U.S. The owner is extremely knowledgeable about everything in the New England area including hiking areas near where we were staying next in the White Mountains. The breakfast he served was delicious. He also had tea, coffee, beer, wine and soft drinks available at all times in the common area. The house is large with many sitting areas and was overall very clean and welcoming. We hope to stay there again when visiting the area.

Big plus courtesy of host Fez and his travel recommendations Breakfast with other guests was terrific. Cleanliness was outstanding. 26 steps to navigate to top floor tough for over 80 crowd. Road noise irritating for some rooms.

Great weekend getaway

Came up for the Alice Cooper concert this weekend, and Fez was a wonderful host! Breakfast was delicious each day, and the hotel is in a perfect spot. Close to Weirs Beach, but not so close as to be crowded like the motels down by the beach. Would highly recommend!

Magic in Meredith

I was in town for a friend’s baby shower and had never been to Meredith before. The Ballard House was well located and the host was amazing. The food was delightful and the entire experience was top notch. I was reminded of the beauty of staying in a local B&B. I would highly recommend it.
