A gorgeous Victorian property full of antiques and character. Excellent staff provide an elegant full breakfast. Yes, there are stairs. But this was a lovely destination stay in a quiet neighborhood. Worth every penny.

Relax with a bit of tea
The Silver Fountain Inn is a slice of nostalgia with all the comforts of home. The staff was wonderful. Everyone was so polite, kind and helpful. Our room was spacious with a very comfortable bed. If you enjoy a bit of tea this is the place. We were able to enjoy many of the different teas they had to offer. Overall this was an excellent stay.

Delighted Guests
Our second stay there because we love the Inn. Our host went above and beyond. We had an early morning event, so she graciously prepared a full and delicious breakfast for us earlier than usual. We couldn’t have asked for a better visit!

What a unique and wonderful experience! The continental breakfast is very ample and delicious. I had the goat cheese and blueberry quiche, and there are 5 outstanding complimentary breakfasts to choose from. Upon arrival, the dining area was decked out from a weekend Alice in Wonderland dinner. A beautiful and creative display. The staff was extremely accommodating. The bed was comfortable; the room a classy Victorian style. The Silver Fountain is an adventure!

Liked the place a lot, super cute and comfortable. Awesome breakfast too! Rarely do you find a B&B at this price. I think years of staying at overpriced chain hotels just your average lazy buffet style breakfast

This is a beautiful property with a great breakfast, a very pleasant proprietor with a great bed. It's also just a short drive from I-95 near the Maine/New Hampshire border and the perfect place to rest on a longer drive through New England.
