I absolutely loved Dowd's Country Inn! The Inn is lovingly maintained - inside and out. My room was beautifully furnished, with soft lighting, and an exceptionally comfortable bed. Breakfast is made-to-order and included in the reasonable lodging fee. The spacious common areas brimmed with character. Duncan Dowd went the extra mile in providing attentive hospitality and service. Being located right on the lovely Lyme Town Green, adds even more interest and charm. I will definitely look here first on my next trip to the Upper Valley.

The Inn was really charming. The breakfast was very good, and the hostess was very sweet. Our room was clean, although a little warm the first night. There was no air conditioner in our room, but we had a fan. Our room was at the end of the hall and very quiet. We enjoyed our stay.

Dowds' Country Inn was beautiful and picturesque, and charming in that way that only old buildings can be. The sign was very difficult to read at night, but once we found the place, we loved it. Just beyond the inn parking lot you could see a beautiful herb and vegetable garden. The entryway was beautiful and inviting. My partner and I entered the lobby and found it warmly lit, with a sign expressing regrets that no one could be there to greet us (we were arriving late at night). On the front desk, we found a laminated info sheet on checking in with my name written on it in dry erase marker, as well as our room number and key. We shuffled quietly upstairs into our room, which was fresh and clean. The room included a bed, dresser, sink/vanity, and closet with and iron and ironing board. The bathroom included a standing shower and toilet, with an overhead light and a red heat lamp setting. We heard there was a complimentary breakfast and went down to eat in the morning. We found some well-stocked tea and coffee stations, but no food, and were confused until a staff member came out and took our order (there was a signboard listing our options of French toast or pancakes with blackberries, or yogurt with fruit and granola, plus milk or orange juice) and she made our breakfast to order. It was absolutely delicious. There's not much going on in Lyme, and we were staying to attend a nearby wedding, but this charming little inn is worth a stop, even if only for the French toast.

Beautiful property very relaxing. Pancakes were perfectly fluffy as you’d expect from a great country inn. Short walk to Stella’s (yum!!) or the on-premise Tavern. Tavern wasn’t open as we were there mid-week but it looked adorable.

Best breakfast ever — and made to order! Very friendly staff. No TV in our room — and we appreciated that! Quiet and peaceful. We would go back in a heartbeat!

Loved the Innkeeper and her staff. Unfortunately, they are short of staff so sometimes getting the room cleaned and/or towels wasn't automatic. But if we asked, they would do so. We would certainly return.
