The whole stay was wonderful. The inn is beautifully decorated. The staff were very personable and friendly. The tea bar was amazing and it was so cozy to be able to bring a pot of tea up to our room to enjoy with warm cookies in the evening. Breakfast was delicious and the service was outstanding.

Absolutely loved this bed-and-breakfast. It is a beautiful old Victorian, which is kept very well with a lot of history. It's in a very nice neighborhood in Dover and very walkable. There is always tea and coffee and cookies available and breakfast was served on their porch and it was delicious. I would definitely return to this bed-and-breakfast

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!

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 :)
