Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
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.

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!

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.

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.
