Check in was easy, front desk was terrific explaining everything the Inn offered with our stay. We had the Perennial cottage which was terrific and offered some privacy. Restaurant was great, service was wonderful and the food at both dinner and breakfasts was excellent. Highly recommend this Inn to stay, nice quiet property in Franconia. Pool was a nice plus as well.

For a visit to the northern NH region there is no better place to experience a family owned quaint inn with a breakfast that is gourmet making it unbeatable for the money. In addition the staff and innkeepers welcome and take care of you like family. Don’t miss this gem.

it is a charming property which is 250 years old. Everyone is friendly and cheerful and it has a very calm atmosphere. Some of the paintings and decor are exceptional. The road is a little bit noisy. That was probably the biggest negative. But the chairs is comfortable and it’s a very nice environment.

A Fantastic B&B in every aspect!

This place is everything you would want in an Bed and Breakfast but more! Breakfast was Amazing and Chris the owner is hands on and there if you need anything. Our Forest View cottage was better than expected with high end toiletries and an espresso machine.

There was nobody at front desk, you couldn't get ahold of anyone to make reservations, for issues with room, nothing. Does not have that cozy feeling. It's like playground, nobody there do what you want with no guidance. The food was good i will give them that. Noone to talk to about the area where to go or anything. If you want a true bed and breakfast or inn, this is NOT the place.

Lovely Stay at Sugar Hill Inn

We enjoyed a lovely stay at the Sugar Hill Inn in early September. Our room was cheerful and had adequate space to move around. We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast before we set out for the day. The bar wasn't open that early in the week, but the owner was willing to open it for our group of four and another couple who were interested in enjoying a cocktail. I think that is pretty good service!

Checking in was great, came back after dinner to the place smelling like Pot, loud guests down stairs, staff shoveled the stairs and not the 18” Of snow on the walkways, not much plowing done in the parking lot. Don’t waste your money, try somewhere else in the area

The room had a very strong odor and when we talked to staff they said it was from the cleaner. If you are fragrance sensitive be advised to ask them to not use this in your room prior to check in. Accommodations need updating as it is showing age.

Disliked: Staff & service

Zero attention from staff

Nobody at reception either on our arrival, or departure - and we arrived just before 6pm and left after breakfast - around 9am. An envelope was on the desk with keys in it when we arrived. Staying in a small hotel rather than a corporate is only justified if the character of the hotel and level of service justifies it. Unfortunately there was nothing special here, and we were basically ignored at all times.
