We had an excellent stay of 2 nights here. This is a newish property. The parking was easy and it was a great location as part of a trip to see New England in the fall. The room was spacious, comfortable and very clean. The whole hotel was very clean. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful.

I don't usually review, but the Ballard was such a lovely experience! It's a beautiful, historic inn, and our room was comfortable, nicely furnished, and spotless. There are a couple of comfortable sitting rooms for the guests to use, and the view across the trees down to a lake from the veranda was lovely. Breakfast was delicious, including a fresh home-baked sweet loaf every day, and there were the cookies every afternoon. Brian and Lynn could not have been more friendly, welcoming and...

One of the best Bed and Breakfasts we have stayed in over the years. Hosts Nick and Amy made us very welcome and we would recommend to anyone thinking of booking. Beautiful house and immaculate. Restaurants within walking distance in this lovely town. Pity we could not have stayed longer.

Lovely hotel for a one night stay during our roadtrip. Unfortunately we were too early for the fall colours - but I can imagine they are spectacular from this hotel. Lovely touches at this hotel but be sure to book ahead for breakfast and dinner as they book up fast!! Unfortunately we didn't get to use the pool due to bad weather. The hot tub looked a bit tired. Good breakfast but not a buffet.

Mark and Lyn were somewhat surprised to find we had arrived in Meredith by bus! Not to be recommended. Taxied up to their charming hotel. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, homemade granola, yoghurt and raspberry couli, followed by poached pears and Mark's soda bread. Lyn took us down to the lake for a trip and collected us in the afternoon. They could not have been kinder or more concerned that we enjoyed our stay. We loved it.

An absolutely fabulous stay at the Old Saco Inn. Peter and Sandi were the perfect hosts and we had a thoroughly enjoyably evening with them and a few other guests in the on-site pub. Breakfast was fantastic and the house is set in beautiful surroundings and we made the most of the free canoes and kayaks - taking a row down the river on arrival.

Our check in to this property was excellent. The owner was very friendly and efficient. He told us about the history of the property which was interesting and also gave us some good tips on where to go and things to see. Our room was a quaint cabin which was spacious and clean with comfortable beds. The area had lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance of the hotel although the main area is quite a walk so you may want to take the car.

The setting overlooking the lake was beautiful, everyone working in the Inn was very friendly and helpful and the dogs were great fun too! Lake view rooms are superb. So big and furnished well too. Exceptionally clean and amenities for tea and coffee really good too

The evening meal was top class. The food was probably the best we’ve eaten in our tour of New England. The service was excellent and we were not rushed…a remarkably rare thing when eating out in America.
The room was lovely and cosy. We found nothing to fault at all
