One of the best Bed and Breakfasts we have stayed in over the years. Hosts Nick and Amy made us very welcome and we would recommend to anyone thinking of booking. Beautiful house and immaculate. Restaurants within walking distance in this lovely town. Pity we could not have stayed longer.

A fantastic family owned and run Inn with a brilliant welcome. These people really care and are passionate about the guest experience. A beautiful historic property with a lovely warm ambience. Comfortable rooms, spotlessly clean and in the perfect spot for exploring the squam lake region and the northern NH scenic trails.
A lot of sustainable practice and locally sourced ingredients adds to the experience.

I don't usually review, but the Ballard was such a lovely experience! It's a beautiful, historic inn, and our room was comfortable, nicely furnished, and spotless. There are a couple of comfortable sitting rooms for the guests to use, and the view across the trees down to a lake from the veranda was lovely. Breakfast was delicious, including a fresh home-baked sweet loaf every day, and there were the cookies every afternoon. Brian and Lynn could not have been more friendly, welcoming and...

Mark and Lyn were somewhat surprised to find we had arrived in Meredith by bus! Not to be recommended. Taxied up to their charming hotel. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, homemade granola, yoghurt and raspberry couli, followed by poached pears and Mark's soda bread. Lyn took us down to the lake for a trip and collected us in the afternoon. They could not have been kinder or more concerned that we enjoyed our stay. We loved it.

These cabins are amazing. Nothing extravagant but Everything you need for a stay in the woods. As the cabins are remote check in, the cabin number and access code are normally text 30 mins before check in. However i was worried as i only had a data SIM card and no US number. I messaged a couple of days before to ask for them to be emailed to me in stead. The communication was excellent. We did have to message again at 4 to get the the details.

We stayed here for two nights to explore the area north of Limerick to North Conway. A beautiful historic house with individually designed and decorated rooms. Very helpful and welcoming host who provided what we requested for breakfast. The Town Grille across the road was very convenient for dinner although closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

Fantastic. We have been travelling for the last 10 days and only use the Hilton group as we are diamond members and I have remained loyal to the group. We have found the Hilton hotels to be shabby nothing special and expensive. We decided to change to try this hotel and WOW …. It is fantastic. It is modern clean and has great facilities in the room including real,glasses and mugs …not paper cups which we have had over the last week. I wish they had a chain for this hotel as I would have...
