What guests think

Travellers praise The Lyme Inn for its beautifully maintained historic charm, comfortable, quiet rooms, and standout dining at Ariana’s, with many applauding the generous homemade breakfasts and the overall quality of the accommodations.

Service is frequently described as warm, professional, and accommodating, with seamless check-in, helpful dining arrangements, and thoughtful touches like late-arrival keys and occasional complimentary room upgrades. The quiet village location appeals to many, though several note limited things to do nearby, weak cell service in town, and occasionally spotty in-room connectivity. Expect a peaceful, well-run country inn ideal for a relaxing stay.

This was our favorite stay for our 7-day New England trip! After a hectic day exploring Vermont towns with thousands of other tourists, it was a breath of fresh air to pull into peaceful Lyme. The inn is well appointed with gorgeous gardens and sitting areas. Comfortable rooms with tasteful decor. Easy parking. The onsite restaurant is wonderful! We didn’t know to make a reservation but they offered to seat us at the bar. We got lucky and a cancellation came through, so we had a leisurely meal in the sunroom with a very kind and helpful server. There’s not much to do outside the inn, but we enjoyed strolling by the historic horse stables and down the main road after dinner. Would absolutely stay again, and next time, we’ll remember to reserve a table for dinner!

This place was amazing. We loved the beds and the large bathroom and all the updates that have been done to keep it in great shape. Flowers and garden just gorgeous and the breakfast was superb! It was actually a bit out of our way but so worth it to drive that extra distance to stay there.

Would have given a 5 but the bathroom sink was tiny and drained slowly. Also the pressure of the shower water was surprisingly too high and water was spraying out the shower head connections.

Amazing stay here! Gorgeous grounds, friendly staff, beautifully decorated room, extremely clean, with all of the modern conveniences in a quaint inn. Loved the updated bathroom and plentiful plugs around the room. We also dined at the restaurant... it was a wonderful meal, and we truly enjoyed the most friendly and welcoming bartender, server and locals. The surrounding town is perfectly manicured. It was an idyllic first impression of New Hampshire.

We stayed for one night before making our way to Franconia State Park area. We arrived kind of late, but they left our keys for us and checkin was very easy. Our king size room had a sofa, tv, and very lovely antique furnishings. For breakfast, we had scones, coffee cake, biscuits and jam. They made eggs to order and bacon, and there was also fruit and cereal available. The inn is adjacent to the village green and a lovely place to stay! This was the coziest hotel experience we had on this trip and would highly recommend!!

Excellant little egg/sausage wraps! The best breakfast here I have had included the puff pastry with sausage inside? The option to have eggs is perfect, as is the bacon! High on the protein/keto scale... very nice. Please give me one chair option with handrails, as I can get up to stand, but am trained to use handrails. Best rural New England place...
