Home away from home

Beautiful rooms, excellent service, and a delicious breakfast were just a few of the highlights of my recent stay at the Silver Fountain Inn. We selected this inn as it was in close proximity to the hospital where my husband was having surgery. Kim and her staff were most attentive and kind during this stressful time. We are so fortunate to have found such a lovely place with such caring innkeepers. Thank you!!!

Best bed and breakfast in over 40 years of traveling. Absolutely gorgeous and pristine throughout with choice of gourmet breakfast items and 24 hour tea or coffee service! Outstanding service from Jerri at breakfast and owner with choice of accommodations!

Cute bed and breakfast. Fantastic breakfast options, including scones. In October, the main floor is decorated in a Hocus Pocus Halloween theme.

Walter, 3-night trip

Property was pristine and absolutely gorgeous. Impeccably decorated appropriate to the style of the historic inn. Gourmet breakfast choices served with a smile and graciousness was the best i have experienced in 40 years of extensive travel!! Kudos to owner and employees. Don't even consider staying anywhere else in the Dover/Portsmouth area!

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.
Mary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed our stay in this piece of history. Good breakfast and easy parking. We'll located for our needs.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
James, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay, authentic breakfast and unbeatable $

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
