What guests think

At Three Chimneys Inn, travelers highlight its historic charm and convenient setting near UNH, praising friendly staff, pleasant grounds, and a peaceful, walkable area, while noting occasional noise from thin walls, small rooms, and some maintenance or temperature control issues.

Dinner at the Tavern is widely praised, but the continental breakfast is inconsistent. Cleanliness is generally solid, though a few guests reported dust, sticky floors, or odors, and housekeeping can be limited. Expect a quaint, historic stay that suits UNH visits and travelers who appreciate character over modern uniformity.

The grounds around the building were beautiful. Access to rooms was difficult as the stairs were hard to maneuver. Bed was uncomfortable.

The historical house really made it a special stay. The staff both at the hotel and the bar/grill were friendly, and shared great stories of the home. Durham is a fantastic town with great history that the Durham Historical Association, which is just down from the hotel proudly displays. I will definitely return.

The property is an older one with creaks and rustic decor, fun for a wedding with nice grounds and patio and plenty of parking. The walls are thin and you can hear people in the other room. But it is also so quaint and rustic. So depending on what you are looking for, this was a great cozy place to stay.

The Inn interior is exemplary, but the exterior on the less visible sides needs a lot of work. Our room also deserves 5 stars. We would certainly stay there again!

The Inn was quaint and has beautiful grounds and a delicious continental breakfast including a waffle station. But, the room had extremely squeaky floor boards and the walls were paper thin. I heard every word of guests next door including the snoring! We stayed in the Carriage House for one night.

Great location to UNH for campus. Walk to football stadium was easy and only takes about 20 minutes. Peaceful setting. Easy and no additional fee for parking. Was greated by team of staff who walked us to our room. Things to improve: Please make sure the room is clean. Ours was dusty in the bathroom and main room. Cobwebs on ceiling, in bathroom and next to bed with a spider on it. Queen bed mattress was bouncy.

That the buildings are from the 17th and 18th centuries is nice and they’ve done well with them. It’s very small, so has a small staff. Breakfast bar was nice, would’ve preferred full breakfast in the restaurant. Daily needs were provided but no maid service. Dinner in restaurant was really good.

The front desk went above & beyond! Wonderful service. Floors in room were sticky. It did take more than 15 minutes to get hot water, but it’s old plumbing I’m sure. It did finally arrive. Our waitress for dinner was excellent as well. Breakfast was ok.

It was a nice quaint hotel. It was comfortable and the rooms were nice. However, I expected better breakfast from a place that touts itself as a B&B. It was just plain bagels and cereal.

This is a sweet inn. We stayed in the carriage house part and had a fairly large room. Breakfast was delivered to our room at 8:00am which consisted of hard boiled eggs, yogurt with granola, muffins, cheese, and and orange. It also came with orange juice and there was a keurig machine in the room. Staff was very pleasant and the bed was comfy.
