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.

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.
Linda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

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.

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 :)

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.

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.
