My mom and I stayed there back in September for a weekend and had a wonderful stay. The inn was so lovely with a beautiful lake across the street. The breakfast provided each morning was top-notch! If I am ever back in the area, I will certainly stay there again!

The owners were an absolute delight. A well kept inn with something new to see at every turn. We would definitely return with family to use the boats. It was truly a wonderful experience.

The Follininbee Inn is unique. Other places say it, but this place really is.Keyser lake is crystal, beautiful, and they provide canes, kayaks, and boats- NC.
The Innkeepers pay attention to every detail.There are no TVs, but internet is good.Guests interact after dinner and they eat breakfast family stlye. Breakfast is in an amazing dining room and the table is beautifully set. Breakfast is great!
The place is peaceful and casual.
If you are looking for action, North Sutton, NH is not a good choice, but the f
Follansbee Inn is an authentic old New E gland property.

Loved the peace and the nostalgia of this old inn. Very quaint. Also loved all the things you could do. They have bikes to ride, kayaks, canoes, all for free to use. The hiking trails in the area are wonderful too. Beautiful lake. Great place to unwind and enjoy the outdoors.

Stayed here several times. For my money, Dennis & Kendall run the loveliest inn in New Hampshire. There may be more luxurious places to stay in the region, but if you are looking for a classic New England inn with charm in a beautiful location, this is the place. And Dennis’s Cajun- influenced breakfasts can’t be missed.

The owners were very hospitable providing home baked pop tarts and coffee/tea. The breakfast was delicious and lovely. We enjoyed our stay!

Everything is excellent except for the shower. It’s old-fashioned and aesthetically beautiful but a potential accident waiting to happen. It’s very slippery and the tub is a little high to get in especially for shorter and elderly people. I slipped and slid while taking a shower but thankfully it was a slow fall on my bum so no injury occurred. Some guests may not be as lucky.

The owners are so kind, friendly, and thoughtful! I stayed here the night before the eclipse, and because they knew people wanted to leave early the next day to beat the eclipse traffic, they moved up the start of breakfast (poached eggs and bacon hash, yum!) an hour.

The hotel is beautiful and has wonderful views of the surroundings, including the lake, from windows. There is a nice loop around the lake that can be done, and hiking trails nearby.

There is a cozy atmosphere in the winter, when there will be small fires burning in the common areas where guests can mingle and relax.

The breakfasts were all outstanding!
My room was really stuffy and stale smelling with no ventilation. The one window had an air conditioner in it, making fresh air impossible. Not having the clean NH air and coolness at night was disappointing. I had to rely on the air conditioner and a loud fan. There was not a mixer for the hot and cold water in the shower. I fully understand that the Inn was built long before air conditioning and cannot be retrofitted.

We stayed at the Follansbee Inn for 2 nights for a wedding in the area, and our stay was just perfect! I love the common areas of the Inn, and we were made to feel comfortable the entire time. The breakfasts were outstanding as well - you certainly won't leave hungry! We didn't have time to enjoy the outdoor area, but there is a nice beach with canoes/kayaks to use as well. I would definitely recommend a stay at The Follansbee Inn!

Lovely Victorian-era inn on lake

If you enjoy antique inns located on a lake with excellent breakfasts and no interaction with the innkeeper, then you'll love this inn.

We stayed on the third floor (no elevator) in the Rylee Rose room, which faced the lake. The view of the lake from this corner room was terrific, plus it included an alcove with a comfortable loveseat, which was great for reading when the weather didn't cooperate. The bathroom was very small, with just enough room for a sink, toilet, and bathtub.

The breakfasts at this inn were delicious, which included fresh-squeezed orange juice and cold cider, yogurt, homemade granola, assorted cereals, assorted coffees and teas, along with a hot entrée and fruit. The innkeeper is also the chef, so the only time he was observed was during breakfast as he brought out food.

We enjoyed relaxing by the lake enjoying the loons, along with walking around the lake. The inn provide kayaks and bicycles, which is a nice ammenity.

Note: There're NO TVs at this inn, so if you can't live without it bring your devices. Also, if you're handicapped or allergic to dogs, don't stay here because two dogs reside here and roam the inside and outside areas (very friendly), plus there's no elevator and LOTS of narrow stairs (all rooms are on the second and third floors).

Top notch inn

Beautiful inn, wonderful setting, and breakfasts that were truly amazing (the owner is from Louisiana and the breakfasts reflected that). The room and room details were \"white glove\" clean. The owner made guests feel welcome and comfortable. I traveled solo but this would be a tremendous location for a family reunion or other group gathering (mindful of COVID restrictions). Each room was decorated differently with antique furniture and fixings. An absolute gem.

Historical inn opposite pretty lake

Just finished a lovely two-night stay at this historic inn and loved every minute there!

We stayed in the family suite on the third floor, which accommodated my husband and I, along with our adult daughter. There was plenty of space, comfortable queen bed for us, and twin beds in our daughter’s room. Only issue was the bathroom, which had a claw foot tub and since I’m still recovering from hip replacement surgery, there was no way I could climb into the tub.

The beautiful lake across the street from the inn had plenty of seating, so we enjoyed relaxing there listening to the lions (so peaceful!). There were plenty of kayaks available to explore the lake, which many of the guests enjoyed.

Breakfast both mornings was FABULOUS—Dennis, you’re a terrific chef!

We highly recommend this quaint inn, which is only 10 minutes from New London with plenty of restaurants to choose from.

One caveat: this inn has stairs EVERYWHERE, so there’s no accessibility.

quiet, peceful, and scenic - check.
rooms comfortable, cozy, and clean - check.
owner/innkeeper/chef Denis making you feel at home - check.
