This is the second stay here for us. The location is convenient to a few good restaurants just get there early or make a reservation as they get very busy. It’s a nice small very walkable town. There’s also a very I interesting mineral museum that is worth checking out. I really like the hosts of this B&B they are very friendly and certainly make you feel at home. They offer lovely snacks in the afternoon and the breakfasts were delicious. I’m sure we will be back again!

Great location for a ski trip to Sunday River. Bethel is a quiet town that shuts down by 9pm but there were a few nice places to eat a short walk away. Inn and rooms were very well kept with lots of thoughtful touches for a great stay. Hosts were very welcoming and helpful.
