Everything was perfect, book here, enough said.
Basil
Kim is amazing. She greeted when we arrived at 1.30 am and we navigated a difficult situation together with calm and grace because she prepared the best possible alternative. Everything was ready for us because of her efforts. And Kim had a lot more than us to worry about. So impressive!
Mark
Awesome, cool place to stay
Donna
Delightful experience and delicious breakfast and afternoon Tea!
Patricia
Internet a bit slow on the 3rd floor. Staff friendly and welcoming. Breakfast superb
Harriet J
The inn was delightful, the breakfast, delicious, and the staff very friendly and accommodating. The steps to the 3rd floor were a bit challenging for an 85 yr-old, but were carpeted and had a good banister. The 2 rooms I rented were small but lovely, with everything you could want available, except only one of the rooms had a comfortable lounging/reading chair. I would be happy to stay again....maybe choosing to be on a lower floor.
Dianne
Absolutely gorgeous property with gourmet breakfast second to none! Wonderful staff and great location!
anne marie
Breakfast was delicious and the owner is personable and relaxed. The building is gorgeous.
Paula
The whole stay was wonderful. The inn is beautifully decorated. The staff were very personable and friendly. The tea bar was amazing and it was so cozy to be able to bring a pot of tea up to our room to enjoy with warm cookies in the evening. Breakfast was delicious and the service was outstanding.
Leo
Are second time here and it felt like coming home. Charming, warm and friendly
Katelyn
The room was clean, cozy vibes, nice lighting, very spacious, large bathroom and shower. The inn keeper was kind and inviting when we arrived. She showed us around the inn, where we could find what we may need, and also showed us where we could make tea and find treats.
Roger
Yes and yes
Vera
Beautiful B&B with a very friendly staff and great service!
marjorie
Lunch and breakfast delicious with different ingredient combinations! Staff ALL gracious and most accommodating! Victorian home from the 1800’s beautifully restored- can’t wait to return!
Susan
Absolutely loved this bed-and-breakfast. It is a beautiful old Victorian, which is kept very well with a lot of history. It's in a very nice neighborhood in Dover and very walkable. There is always tea and coffee and cookies available and breakfast was served on their porch and it was delicious. I would definitely return to this bed-and-breakfast
Stacey
Friendly and thoughtful
Staff were very friendly. When I told them I could not stay for breakfast she provided a pumpkin scone for the next morning.
deborah
Excellent breakfast and excellent service
Carole
We loved our stay at the silver fountain inn! Start to finish, the whole thing was perfect. We were greeted warmly by Kim when we arrived, and wanted for nothing during our stay. Breakfast was incredible every day (I recommend the pumpkin spice scone!), and guests have all-day access to coffee and tea. I very much enjoyed trying the different teas! Our room was cozy and well-appointed, and parking was ample. I wouldn’t change a thing!
Jeffrey
Staff were very friendly and up beat.
Jennifer
Absolutely great inn!
This place is a must if you’re looking for something special! We will be back …
Tory
This is a beautiful Bed & Breakfast! Old Victorian with all the Victorian charm! The Inn Keeper is very nice and accomodating. Highly recommend!
Cristobal
This is a beautiful property in a great location. The staff is friendly and very professional. Everything was clean and welcoming, and the tea parlor is a lovely, refined touch. There's plenty of parking available, which was very convenient. I also felt very safe during my stay. Highly recommended!
Pat
This property is not for the disabled or mobility challenged. The stairways are very steep without handrails to hold and are dangerous for mobility. We did not stay as my husband (who is disabled) could not climb the steep stairs to the second level. Even the entry steps at the front of the building have no handrails for stability.
Leo
Wonderful Victorian home; a gem!
Great staff, tea and breakfast.
Will definitely return next time we’re in the area.

Lovely property & great hosts . Wonderful breakfast with the best scones!
Shivam
Good breakfast and great hospitality! The entire property had a fantastic Victorian charm and plenty of tea options. Easy walk into downtown Dover, short drive into Portsmouth, and many hiking trails nearby.

Linda
We had a wonderful time and the inn was full of surprises. The breakfast was fantastic and the staff was very attentive to all our needs.
Lee
The inkeeper Kim made check in a breeze. She kindly gave us an orientation to the property, and this house is just one of a kind! If you love character homes, this house is a must see. Our room was cozy and comfortable. There are many cozy spots to relax and enjoy the property.
Deborah
We stayed on the 3rd floor. It was clean and quiet. The room was a little dark, but the bed was comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious. There were nice perks like coffee and tea available all day. We weren't able to try the teatime, but it looked lovely. The location was a short drive to the center of town.
Kathy
The Inn is an old Victorian Inn, decorated beautifully. The rooms are spacious and quiet, the staff is friendly and helpful and the breakfast was included and amazing. The Inn is walking distance to Dover and in a beautiful area of old homes.
David
Kim and the staff create a fantastic, welcoming environment. My wife and I had a four-night stay in May to attend our son's graduation from UNH. The accommodations were great, the coffee & tea service was great, and the breakfast (each of the choices) were wonderful (you have to try the scones!) We are so thankful for our opportunity to stay at The Silver Fountain Inn :)
Laurie
We had a lovely visit. Hosts were great and breakfast was amazing.
David
Home away from home
Beautiful rooms, excellent service, and a delicious breakfast were just a few of the highlights of my recent stay at the Silver Fountain Inn. We selected this inn as it was in close proximity to the hospital where my husband was having surgery. Kim and her staff were most attentive and kind during this stressful time. We are so fortunate to have found such a lovely place with such caring innkeepers. Thank you!!!
Melisa
Absolutely charming little place. Staff is great. Owner is awesome. I will most definitely be staying again.
Deb
Gorgeous splendor
We visited a friend in Durham and chose Silver Fountain instead of the Holiday Inn. What a joy! We arrived late, and when we opened the door, it was like walking into a dream! The decor and ambiance is so welcoming, historic, and gorgeous! We were very excited! Even nicer in person than the photos on the web site!
The breakfast was plentiful and I thoroughly enjoyed the quiche and pear scone.
I recommended it to our friend for other visitors, as well as for her to go for lunch or the murder mystery dinners!
I had not noticed that the room I booked (Marguerite) the last available for that night, had its bathroom in the hall, not in the room itself. That worked out fine, but I would not have chosen it. The room was beautiful, quiet, and comfortable.
We will definitely return!!

Nice Stay
Beautiful room and yummy breakfast
Heather
Great stay
Property was beautiful and reflected the original Victorian style. Service was fabulous and breakfast was awesome.
tim
The Inn has changed ownership, and it shows. The internet service is very poor. The bed was hard and when we asked for brighter light bulbs for our bed side so we could read, the request was ignored. I asked to see the book that Pam the previous owner wrote about the Inn and enjoyed reading it, but later one of the staff took it away before I had a chance to finish it.
Dianne
Property was pristine and absolutely gorgeous. Impeccably decorated appropriate to the style of the historic inn. Gourmet breakfast choices served with a smile and graciousness was the best i have experienced in 40 years of extensive travel!! Kudos to owner and employees. Don't even consider staying anywhere else in the Dover/Portsmouth area!
Dianne
Best bed and breakfast in over 40 years of traveling. Absolutely gorgeous and pristine throughout with choice of gourmet breakfast items and 24 hour tea or coffee service! Outstanding service from Jerri at breakfast and owner with choice of accommodations!
Stephanie
Cute bed and breakfast. Fantastic breakfast options, including scones. In October, the main floor is decorated in a Hocus Pocus Halloween theme.
Madelyn
So quaint and very hospitable!
Denise
Lovely stay at warm and welcoming Inn. Delicious breakfast served each morning.
Walter
Everything was great. Friendly staff, great accommodations. We’ll be back next year.
Amy
My first experience of a bed and breakfast-,a beautifully appointed lodging in Victorian array was wonderful. The Silver Fountain combines beauty with the art of tea.
James
A gorgeous Victorian property full of antiques and character. Excellent staff provide an elegant full breakfast. Yes, there are stairs. But this was a lovely destination stay in a quiet neighborhood. Worth every penny.
Jeannine
We enjoyed our stay at the Silver Fountain and we would highly recommend staying here to our family and friends. Enjoy 😊
CHRISTOPHER
The Silver Fountain Inn is a lovely old (1871) mansion that has been converted to a B&B. Everything about our experience would have been perfect except for the fact that when we arrived, we were shown to a room without an en- suite bathroom and were directed to use the hallway bath. This wasn't horrible, but it certainly was not what we were expecting. When you book make sure to clarify that your room will have an en-suite bathroom.
Andrew
We spent 3 weeks driving through Canada and the East Coast of the US and this was the best place we stayed! The room was beautiful, clean and comfortable and the breakfast was great. Everyone who works there is friendly and welcoming.
Joseph
Wonderful bed and breakfast in a beautiful 1871 house. Just gorgeous
James
The inn was amazing. It was like stepping back in time. The staff was very pleasant. Breakfast was filling and very good. We will definitely stay again..
Katherine

It was such a lovely stay. Staff was polite and most accommodating. The room was very well appointed and comfortable. The breakfast served in the morning was absolutely delicious, especially the blueberry scones!
Jennifer
Charming, excellent staff and breakfasts!
Michael
Relax with a bit of tea
The Silver Fountain Inn is a slice of nostalgia with all the comforts of home. The staff was wonderful. Everyone was so polite, kind and helpful. Our room was spacious with a very comfortable bed. If you enjoy a bit of tea this is the place. We were able to enjoy many of the different teas they had to offer. Overall this was an excellent stay.
Robert
Delighted Guests
Our second stay there because we love the Inn. Our host went above and beyond. We had an early morning event, so she graciously prepared a full and delicious breakfast for us earlier than usual. We couldn’t have asked for a better visit!
Cynthia
What a unique and wonderful experience! The continental breakfast is very ample and delicious. I had the goat cheese and blueberry quiche, and there are 5 outstanding complimentary breakfasts to choose from. Upon arrival, the dining area was decked out from a weekend Alice in Wonderland dinner. A beautiful and creative display. The staff was extremely accommodating. The bed was comfortable; the room a classy Victorian style. The Silver Fountain is an adventure!
Kathryn
I was greeted at the door by the owner,Kim, who was wonderful! I felt right at home. The inn is charming and beautiful! The breakfast was delicious and the dining room was beautifully set.
I keep thinking of a reason to stay in Dover again so that I can stay at The Silver Fountain Inn again!
Thank you Kim for a wonderful experience!

Great stay, authentic breakfast and unbeatable $
Liked the place a lot, super cute and comfortable. Awesome breakfast too! Rarely do you find a B&B at this price.
I think years of staying at overpriced chain hotels just your average lazy buffet style breakfast

Terrific Victorian B&B
Just an overnight stay where I had to skip breakfast
Mary
This is a beautiful property with a great breakfast, a very pleasant proprietor with a great bed. It's also just a short drive from I-95 near the Maine/New Hampshire border and the perfect place to rest on a longer drive through New England.
Carla
Incredibly pleasant owner.
Amee

Yvette
I always love my stays at the Silver Fountain Inn. I’ve been twice now and I will keep coming back!
Anthony
Former B&B Owner
Great value. Attentive management. Delightful attention to detail. Well done!
Gary
This historic building seems period furnished (not an expert here) and was very well maintained. The operation is well organized. The staff was friendly and attentive. The breakfast included a few selections for each element. The food was not all prepared to order but was of good quality. there was an fantastic breadth of teas from which to select but be warned that formal tea service (a quest of my spouse) is not available everyday.
Melisa
Our stay was great. The lady was wonderful, we accidentally booked one of our rooms with a shared bathroom and she let us change to one with an on suite without any troubles. The breakfast was delicious. If we are ever up this way again we will stay again.
Michelle
I loved the Mary Poppins theme! And the options for teas were amazing. I also loved that, when we came back to our room late in the evening after seeing a show in Boston, Frank Sinatra was playing in the parlor!
David
The Owners and staff were super nice. The High Tea was perfect and you could always have a tea at bed if you wanted. It was a perfect get away, relaxing, great Breakfast, made to order and even the ability to utilize some of the kitchen for a nice dinner.
Alyssa
This is a very unique place to stay and we could tell it is VERY well maintained. The whole place is so beautiful but as someone who works in hospitality, I took extra notice of how clean everything was, and little extras like the tea and coffee stations that are available all night. The yard is impeccable as well. However, the most impressive detail to me was all of the beautiful crown moulding, doorframes, etc. The owners very clearly put a lot of work and pride into what they do.
Tim
Family visit
Tjis place has always been a great place to stay. They have fixed the WiFi coverage and the download speeds are great.
Jackie
Relaxing stay
I was thrilled with the Inn. Easy check in with clear directions and comfortable surroundings. I loved my room. The bed was very comfortable and it had all the amenities I could ask for. Cleanliness is one thing I notice and my room and bathroom, as well as the hallways and dining areas met that expectation very well. Without a doubt, I would choose this Inn when traveling or just needing a getaway for a night or two.
Kevin
We enjoyed our stay in this piece of history. Good breakfast and easy parking. We'll located for our needs.
Lynn Marie
As a boutique property, the Silver Fountain Inn was wonderful. I loved my room and all the Victorian touches as well as the water and wine options in the room. The dining room was beautifully set up with coffee and tea available throughout the day. Breakfast was delicious. Hosts Jim and Pam were cheerful and helpful. I would return if ever I happen to be in the area and would recommend it to others.
Mark
Wonderful bed and breakfast
Cool place if you love authentic tea parties and antiques. The owners are wonderful. They made nice made to order full breakfasts. Room was well appointed, roomy and clean. We enjoyed our stay.
Deborah
The Inn was lovely- we were curious about the Wizard of Oz theme, but then read that that is the celebration this month- very fun and whimsical!! Our hostess was lovely, and the breakfast was amazing!
Albert
Albert and I had a very pleasant and relaxing stay. Thank you Jim and Pam for the warm hospitality!
Wes
Our favorite stay at Silver Fountain Inn
We only have one night in Dover visiting our son. So glad we stayed at Silver Fountain Inn, beautiful place.
The inn is located right in Dover, so close to everything in town. Parking lot is right in front of the inn. We were able to check in early. Our room was exactly as described on the site, gorgeous and comfortable.
We had a good quiet night, slept in. Enjoyed our delicious breakfast downstairs. Just perfect!
This will be our place to stay when we are back in Dover! Thank you Pam for your hospitality!

Loved this inn. Free tea and coffee for guests and a full breakfast every morning which is very unusual for most hotels.
Edward
Wonderful time
I had been looking for an unusual place to stay for a few days while visiting my son and his family in Dover. He recommended the Silver Fountain Inn, based on a rave review by his sister-in-law, who stayed there some months ago. The owners were very warm and friendly, but not intrusive and made me feel very welcome. I stayed in the English Rose room on the third floor, which was very picturesque and had a nice view of surrounding properties and large trees from its two windows. The breakfasts were made to order and were delicious and filling. I made a big hit with my 3-year old granddaughter, whom I had never met until this trip, by giving her my blueberry muffin from breakfast! All in all, it was a great and much needed vacation. Thanks to all!
David
Beautiful old mansion, manicured grounds, lovely dining area with nice appointments.
Kim
Beautiful place. Such nice hosts. Highly recommend!
Cheryl M
Very special
Just lovely and a particularly comfortable bed.
Judith
There's one room at this place without a bath in the room and I got it. (I guess I missed the small print) Even that bath was not clean and ready for me at 3 pm check-in. They said it would be ready at 4...slightly rudely because I seemed impatient. The rooms are very \"old fashioned\" in a stuffy way. There were old socks in one drawer and a soiled paper towel in the bath...after it was cleaned. And, NO TOWELS. Checking in was tedious and awkward in a narrow hallway. Breakfast was an endless wait just for coffee, with the one staff repeating how busy it was and she was alone, so I was supposed to not care that it took 20 min for one cup of coffee. I left. Glad it was just one night.
JOAN
I was upset that I couldn’t get wifi as advertised. It’s very important to my business while on the road. I chose accommodations that ensure wifi. It went in and out during the whole stay. Not good.
Everything else was dreamlike and wonderful.

Comfortable Inn with Delicious Breakfast
We had a fantastic stay; convenient on-site parking. Inn was close to a walking trail and downtown. Breakfasts were delicious and filling. Pam & Jim were amazing hosts. Room was comfortable and quaint. No central air, but rooms had window ACs. Good shower pressure.
Sazini
Charming inn only 15 minutes away from Portsmouth, NH. Nice to be able to leave the hustle and bustle of the city to enjoy delicious tea that’s served 24 hours. The Dorothy suite was very spacious and clean, the bed was very high up but a step stool was provided which was nice. The grounds around the inn were filled with beautiful flowers. Definitely nice to wake up enjoy some coffee/tea sitting in the gardens. Breakfast was delicious. The staff was very friendly. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family if ever in the area.
Frederick
Faded Glory
While falling a bit shy of top-star rating, we found the Inn comfortable, clean, with friendly accommodating staff. High tea was delightful…and plentiful. Attention to some minor details (cleaning windows, eg) would add a little sprucing-up that is too evidently needed.
Sheila
Enjoyable Stay!
Comfortable bed, beautifully appointed rooms, yummy full breakfast!
Barbara
It was amazing. The room was terrific, the hotel absolutely charming, and the breakfast delicious. I recommend this Inn without any hesitation and plan to stay there again.
stephanie
Great inn!
The Inn is cozy and the owners friendly. Our room was wonderful! It was very comfortable, clean and quiet. The breakfast offerings were great, with creative options to choose from. We enjoyed our stay!
