The Inn was very cute and had a lot of nice additional touches. Complimentary cookies, wine, and beer was very welcomed after our hike. The room was spacious and had it's own control for temperature. The shower was a bit tight and the bed was a bit old and uncomfortable. But it was fine for 1 night. Even though the Inn Keeper was not providing a full breakfast she did provide a lovely continental and gave us a discount. Overall would definitely recommend this Inn as a resting spot in the area. Also the view on the back patio was lovely.
small shower and bed probably needs an updated mattress.

We were greeted pleasantly on our arrival. To the left was a beautiful table set up for eating. To the right was a well decorated welcoming room with complimentary water, coffee, and various beverages. Through the hallway is a sitting room well decorated and with leather furniture. Upstairs, the rooms are meticulously decorated. Bed is very comfortable. The suite is amazing with extra space and a sitting area. Highly recommend!!! Breakfast is nothing short of amazing. You will not be disappointed. Sitting outside on the back porch, either relaxing at night or while eating breakfast, the view is breathtaking. Grounds are well groomed. We have stayed here twice and are already looking forward to staying here again the next time we visit the area. You will not find this great of hospitality in any five-star hotel. Short drive to Weirs Beach and NH Pavillion for concerts. Very highly recommend staying here.
Everything was perfect

Superb breakfast and snacks. At check in we were greeted with fresh baked cookies as well as coffee/tea, soda and a few other drinks. Bernadette and Dave are knowledgable about the area and have lots of resources on things to do and a lovely library. We found the dining guide with Bernadette’s personal notes especially helpful. She went the extra mile. Fantastic view of the mountains. Ample seating was available on the porch including rockers. Immaculate room and beautiful decor. There are trails to walk from the back yard. Close to town and area attractions.

The facility is beautiful and very welcoming. I like the electronic sign in and felt very secure, during my stay.
The only issue I had was the lack of parking, when returning from activities on Saturday. I was able to park, in a none parking spot. However, to be clear, plenty of parking is available, unfortunately people don’t know how to park when there aren’t lines to manage the cars.

I stayed at Bernadette's Inn together with my mom on a very sunny Saturday. The area and grounds are beautiful with a lot of care and attention to the Inn. Our room was tastefully decorated, clean and the bed extremely comfortable. Unfortunately for medical reason the Innkeeper was not able to offer her traditional breakfast (which I read is divine), but we were still met with home made cake and freshly brewed coffee which was a lovely touch on top of the discount. I would come back in a heartbeat.

The coziest stay imaginable! The innkeepers were personable and greeted us on arrival. Every detail was considered, and we felt at home. Comfortable accommodations, excellent breakfast, just a dream! We will definitely stay again if in the area. As an aside, we reached out prior to our stay with a few questions and received a prompt and detailed response. Very happy with the level of service!

Charming comfortable B&B with friendly and helpful hosts. The garage provided secure storage for our bikes, as well as electric for charging e-bikes.
Even though the distance is fairly short, walking to downtown Meredith is not possible. The inn is at the top of a hill (over 300 vertical ft climb) and the road shoulder is not good for walkers.

It was pretty good. The fruit salad and oatmeal were fine. I would've liked herbal tea but they only had regular.
Steep stairs to go to the 2nd floor. I realize the Inn was built in 1784 way before elevators were invented. However I have arthritis in my right knee abd ny fiancé' has arthritis in both his knees and a bad back.

The Innkeeper was very friendly as was all of the staff! The breakfast was top notch. I loved the blueberry lemon bread and the omelettes were delicious. I love older homes and this one had all of the necessary updates to provide excellent comfort but still kept all the ambiences of the home.
Stairs could have been a little wider but entirely understandable with the grace and charm of the inn.

This was a great place for a getaway! The quaint rooms and lovely views from the deck added a tranquility to the atmosphere. The staff were absolutely delightful! The Inn Keeler made us feel welcome and right at home with her warm smile and hospitality. We enjoyed our delicious breakfast out doors on the deck overlooking the mountain and lake. The lemon ricotta pancakes were absolutely heavenly!
