Chelsea Hotels

"Kitchen was plenty spacious. An adorable cozy bungalow in the barn. Also a child's paradise."

"Clean room with some stains, rest was great."

"Stayed during fall foillage - they were short "

"It was a beautiful stay. The staff was very friendly and inviting. The property views were stunning and we took a canoe on a lake, included in the stay. The only downfall was my food from the Lakeside dining was undercooked. "

"Very accommodating personnel, very generous size room, clean and quiet. Large balcony overlooking trees, which we didn't get to use because we only had a short stay, but would probably be a great outdoor relaxing space where you can have a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. Overall, very good stay. "

"Dowds' Country Inn was beautiful and picturesque, and charming in that way that only old buildings can be. The sign was very difficult to read at night, but once we found the place, we loved it. Just beyond the inn parking lot you could see a beautiful herb and vegetable garden. The entryway was beautiful and inviting. My partner and I entered the lobby and found it warmly lit, with a sign expressing regrets that no one could be there to greet us (we were arriving late at night). On the front desk, we found a laminated info sheet on checking in with my name written on it in dry erase marker, as well as our room number and key. We shuffled quietly upstairs into our room, which was fresh and clean. The room included a bed, dresser, sink/vanity, and closet with and iron and ironing board. The bathroom included a standing shower and toilet, with an overhead light and a red heat lamp setting. We heard there was a complimentary breakfast and went down to eat in the morning. We found some well-stocked tea and coffee stations, but no food, and were confused until a staff member came out and took our order (there was a signboard listing our options of French toast or pancakes with blackberries, or yogurt with fruit and granola, plus milk or orange juice) and she made our breakfast to order. It was absolutely delicious. There's not much going on in Lyme, and we were staying to attend a nearby wedding, but this charming little inn is worth a stop, even if only for the French toast. "
