Lisa
A well loved favorite of ours. The staff is absolutely amazing as is the delicious breakfast choices! Great location for everything we love to see and do.
Kathleen
Enjoyed the charm of staying in an old world property. The staff was wonderful and provide an excellent breakfast.
Deborah
Breakfast was phenomenal!!!! It was hard to choose! Delicious.
Daniel
Great and friendly staff. Clean and quiet rooms. Very nice!
Kai
One of the nicest places I’ve stayed at. I highly recommend.
Donald
Nice comfortable inn and the breakfast was terrific. Great way to start the day. Stay here!
Chris
I absolutely loved Dowd's Country Inn! The Inn is lovingly maintained - inside and out. My room was beautifully furnished, with soft lighting, and an exceptionally comfortable bed. Breakfast is made-to-order and included in the reasonable lodging fee. The spacious common areas brimmed with character. Duncan Dowd went the extra mile in providing attentive hospitality and service. Being located right on the lovely Lyme Town Green, adds even more interest and charm. I will definitely look here first on my next trip to the Upper Valley.
Steven
It was a quaint Inn. Close enough to where we needed to go, so convenient. Room was clean. Not the poshest place but cute. Computer and printer available in lobby area of needed. Wifi available too.
Jean-Ellen
Fantastic stay. Lovely rooms
Hilary
Great breakfast but it’s a noisy rundown kind of place.
James
The Inn was really charming. The breakfast was very good, and the hostess was very sweet. Our room was clean, although a little warm the first night. There was no air conditioner in our room, but we had a fan. Our room was at the end of the hall and very quiet. We enjoyed our stay.
William
I had an issue with my reservation, called repeatedly, and nobody ever responded.

Dowds' Country Inn was beautiful and picturesque, and charming in that way that only old buildings can be. The sign was very difficult to read at night, but once we found the place, we loved it. Just beyond the inn parking lot you could see a beautiful herb and vegetable garden. The entryway was beautiful and inviting. My partner and I entered the lobby and found it warmly lit, with a sign expressing regrets that no one could be there to greet us (we were arriving late at night). On the front desk, we found a laminated info sheet on checking in with my name written on it in dry erase marker, as well as our room number and key. We shuffled quietly upstairs into our room, which was fresh and clean. The room included a bed, dresser, sink/vanity, and closet with and iron and ironing board. The bathroom included a standing shower and toilet, with an overhead light and a red heat lamp setting.
We heard there was a complimentary breakfast and went down to eat in the morning. We found some well-stocked tea and coffee stations, but no food, and were confused until a staff member came out and took our order (there was a signboard listing our options of French toast or pancakes with blackberries, or yogurt with fruit and granola, plus milk or orange juice) and she made our breakfast to order. It was absolutely delicious.
There's not much going on in Lyme, and we were staying to attend a nearby wedding, but this charming little inn is worth a stop, even if only for the French toast.

Stay here -perfect country escape!
Beautiful property very relaxing. Pancakes were perfectly fluffy as you’d expect from a great country inn. Short walk to Stella’s (yum!!) or the on-premise Tavern. Tavern wasn’t open as we were there mid-week but it looked adorable.
Linda
Best breakfast ever — and made to order! Very friendly staff. No TV in our room — and we appreciated that! Quiet and peaceful. We would go back in a heartbeat!
Connie
Loved the Innkeeper and her staff. Unfortunately, they are short of staff so sometimes getting the room cleaned and/or towels wasn't automatic. But if we asked, they would do so. We would certainly return.
John and Linda
Beautiful Inn located in quaint town close to Dartmouth-Hitchcock. Would definitely stay there again.
Jeff
Very cute, charming country in. Staffing a bit light because inn was not full. Had to wait for service at breakfast.
Barbara
I cancelled June 8th and Expedia never notified Dowds nor refunded my $1100!!! I will NEVER, EVER use Expedia again!!! Shame, shame on them!!!!
Patrick
Always Excellent!!

Amazingly helpful staff. Like visiting family.
John
This inn makes you feel like you are being welcomed into the home of an old friend. Everyone is very gracious and helpful. This is a beautiful area of the country and I plan to return to hike and explore the area more.
Paul

richard
The only drawback was the ac/heat window unit that was really noisy in our room. Otherwise, a pleasant stay. The Inn offers the atmosphere of the private dwelling that it was once. We liked it and the absence of a TV in the room did not bother us. Very quiet little town.
Daniele
Thank you for a comfortable stay
Marguerite
Great breakfast selection!
Krisztina
I decided to stay here based on seeing the good reviews but my experience was different. The staff were nice but not at all personable. My room had a paper thin wall it shared with the room next to it. The floor creaked so badly as the other room’s occupants were walking around that it sounded like they were in my room. It kept waking me up. The bed was hard and the only cover I had was the quilt/bed cover which was thin and uncomfortable. The in is very old and in need of a big renovation. The breakfast was included in the price, which I liked but it wasn’t at all as great as the reviews told. The area was nice and quiet and close to an Italian restaurant, which was ok.
James
Centrally located in Lyme, NH. Next to a Country General Store to buy food and snacks. Great breakfast each day at the Inn. Nice family run Bed and Breakfast. Friendly atmosphere and clean rooms. Would stay again if in the area.
Casey
Just stayed for one night for a work trip but it was so cozy. Breakfast service was a little slow but so delicious and everyone was so so nice and friendly. The room was comfortable and the grounds are beautiful! Loved that I could just walk next door to have a wonderful meal at Stella’s, too! Special shout out to Duncan for checking us in and being so sweet!
Brian
Wonderful stay, highly recommend!
Scott
Lovely old building. Staff was great and there are friendly dogs running around. Lots of character. Breakfast was really good.
Sydney

Randy

Jane
A lovely country inn with nice people.
Joy
What a lovely little inn. The room was perfect. The staff was friendly. It was New England charm at its finest. The inn keeper had celiac like my daughter so for the first time we could eat breakfast! I can’t say enough good things about this inn. Oh and the inn dogs were the icing on the cake.
Joseph
A really great place. Shower could have been stronger but everything else was great. Super staff
Laurie
Everyone I met on the staff was very friendly and extremely helpful. Breakfast was excellent. I would definitely recommend staying here.
Laura
We’ll be back
Dowd’s is a beautiful historic building situated right on the Common of Lyme, New Hampshire. Walking distance to Post Office, Italian restaurant, Country store. It’s like a postcard.
Our stay was like visiting friends. We’ve stayed here twice. Breakfast offerings were diverse and delicious. We’ll be back!

Our room was very comfortable and well maintained. The upstairs water pressure was a little weak, but we were still able to shower, etc. without a problem. There were several choices for the included breakfast, which also include gluten free/celiac friendly options, which I appreciated. We are not first time guests and will stay again if in the area.
Laura
The inn is in a beautiful, quiet setting. It was convenient before the bridge construction started but is less so now. It also used to have a nice tavern but that’s closed. The rooms are clean but not at all fancy. The water pressure in the shower was non-existent but the included breakfast was good. I hope they can put some more money into it and stay afloat.
Levi
It was nice to have 2 breakfast muffins prepared for me before their free breakfast so I can have something to eat before my Maple Leaf Marathon in Vermont 6 miles away from the hotel. Thank you
Lynita
The staff was kind and helpful. The room was quaint and clean. Breakfast was delish and so much better than the continental breakfast offered at so many hotels!
Erin
So friendly
Andrew
Very nice quaint inn, breakfast is fantastic
Michael
Comfortable Inn, well kept, well managed, excellent service, fine breakfast. Not ultra luxurious but more than sufficient with large bedrooms, comfortalble beds, and large common rooms.
Michelle
Our room was super cute and very clean. I really liked taking with the inn keeper and she was very helpful. As a matter of fact, we left something behind by accident and she went out of her way to go find the item. When she located it, she called me and mailed it out the same day. This was so appreciated! When we are in the area again, we will make this our first choice.
Jerry
Pleasant place to spend a night and morning. Friendly people.
DENIZ
It was a very cute and cozy getaway with very friendly staff. The inn itself was so nicely decorated and breakfast/coffee was delicious. The only thing that bothered us was how there was no one at the entrance after 9pm and how all the doors were unlocked. Felt extremely quiet and unsafe at night. Besides that the rooms eere beautiful and we had a very lovely ski getaway!

Little misleading
At first glance very cute and lovely dogs and people greeted us at check/in.
Our room was in the “attic” lots of stairs. Cute room. Bathroom had no hot water and the water pressure continued to dwindle until none came out of the shower.
Unfortunately there wasn’t anyone at the desk in the morning for us to speak to and we were down there through our breakfast. Breakfast was good.

This is a lovely B&B very nice staff. Lyme is a very quiet, tiny town, but 2 good restaurants.
Cara
Lovely, welcoming inn with great breakfast
We were so impressed by the Dowd’s Country Inn! The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly from the minute we walked in. The property is also beautiful, with clearly historic details that have been very well maintained. Our room was lovely and comfortable, though my only qualms were low water pressure and the bed was a bit firm for my liking. Possibly the highlight was the amazing breakfast, included in your stay. They make your breakfast to order and have several options. I got pancakes and my fiancé had an omelet; both were absolutely delicious.
Sherry
This was my first Inn experience. The stay was nice. The inn lovely. The town was quiet and cute. My favorite part of the Inn was the dining room. It looked out over the garden area. There was a stove with a fire lit at breakfast time. A very cozy feeling. The breakfast of French toast was excellent. The coffee perfect.
The property was lovely. The stairs could be a problem for some people, the up and down could be difficult. Some squishy pillows for the beds would be nice addition.
The general store next to the inn had a lot of home baked goods and sandwiches available in the morning.
In all enjoyable stay.

Jim
Great ambiance! Very quaint and great breakfast!
Marlena
Unfortunately the Tavern eatery was closed so the only food available was at Stella’s Italian Restaurant next door. Stella’s was delicious and expensive. All in all, it’s a fine place to stay. Colonial & cozy.
Sandy
Loved the environment and the quaintness of the Inn. Beautifully maintained and welcoming!
Gary
The Marshland looks like it had a leak. The room smelt of mold. We are in out late 60's. The stairs were difficult. When my wife asked for another room she was teated very rudely.
There was very noisy wedding reception with people everywhere. No place to relax. Not worth the money.

The Inn was cute and comfortable. The breakfast was amazing! Two doors down was Stella's Italian Restaurant with great food and an incredible bakery, so very convenient to the Inn! The town closes up early, so be prepared.
Marguerite
Nice area
Jean
The property is lovely and the staff very attentive. I will recommend this Inn to anyone planning to go to the New Hampshire area. I hope that the Inn Keepers will be able to find the staff to open their Tavern again. We missed being able to eat there.
Jonathan
The limited staff were very friendly. Breakfasts were quite nice for a B and B. Lyme is a prototypical country town and near alot of great areas for exploring.

Place is a little dated, but I guess is what you get when you book country old farm house, breakfast was amazing, only downside was that the tavern was closed, had to drive 30 min for food daily, other than that was good resting room for 2 days.
Scott
Very charming, extremely well managed property. Staff were very engaging and the grounds were spotless. The room and bed were comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was delicious. A great quiet spot about 15 minutes north of Hanover.

Super comfortable, attached to the tavern which has amazing food. The breakfast that is included is not your mass produced slop. They make it from scratch for each person and it’s delicious. Will happily stay/eat here again.

We were there just one night. Easy to find, very charming and cozy. They were very kind and friendly. The room we had reserved was rented for another night by the previous occupant so we were upgraded to a larger room at no extra cost. We arrived just before the connected Latham Tavern closed and were still able to order take out dinner. Room was very clean and cozy, and homey feeling. Beds were comfortable, one of the lamps was a bit wonky (needed repair). But other than that it was quite nice, and we’d stay again.

Wonderful, dog-friendly inn in picturesque Lyme NH. Location overlooks the town green and is a short walk to two markets. Breakfast is excellent.

We only stayed one night but we were very comfortable. The room had air conditioning which we really needed. They were extremely short staffed but that didn’t stop them from giving us excellent service. The breakfast was delicious and the right size portion. We would go back.

Extremely accommodating. Beautiful property. 10 out of 10!

This property was really really old and fabulous. The innkeeper was having a bad day, I guess, because she wasn’t very friendly.

The breakfast was outstanding with several different choices. There are no TV’s in the room and we wanted to watch the UConn Huskies at the final 4. The owner set up a special room For us with a fire and all. It felt like home. I would definitely go back again.
