We got inside the hotel and the first thing we loved was the smell of sugared snicker doodle. We loved our dinner, specially the crab cakes. We slept very well and everybody was very kind. The breakfast was a bit overpriced for what we got. We recommend it!

We stayed at The Inn at Thorn Hill & Spa for one night and had a wonderful experience. Beautiful room, very comfortable bed, and a bathroom that felt like a true spa. Dinner at Forty and the fresh local breakfast were excellent. Special thanks to Nancy and Liam at reception, Abby and Jess at dinner, and David at breakfast — a professional team with top-level service and hospitality.

A find. Excellent service, gorgeous room with a gorgeous mountain view, big comfortable bed, and a killer bathroom with a first-rate jacuzzi. We lucked out and got a gorgeous little mountain thunderstorm to enjoy with the gorgeous gas fireplace. Pricey but we got a gorgeous reduction by using Priceline. Highly recommend.

We had a 1 night stay at the Inn at Thorn Hill & Spa this week and the experience was wonderful! I had read the reviews online before booking and it seemed like a great place and the price for Thurs - Fri stay was reasonable. The room was beautiful and there was a personalized note in the room welcoming us along with bath robes and slippers. I was worried that the room would be a bit small but it was just the right size for 2 people, and we loved the jacuzzi tub! We had dinner at the Forty at Thorn hill restaurant and the food was amazing, kudos to the chefs! We also had complimentary breakfast the next morning and while the waitress that seated us came off a bit rude, our actual waitress was really nice and accommodating. The breakfast was delicious, another great meal! We love this place and the atmosphere and look forward to returning soon!

We had the most spectacular experience here at the Inn! Incredibly friendly team who shine at what they do! The Inn and restaurant are fantastic. We truly enjoyed every moment. The food is fantastic and such a relaxing vibe. We spent the weekend here while hiking in the White Mountains and couldn’t have asked for more!

This hotel is really nice and the value for money is very good. The hotel has a good territory with picturesque views, especially from the terrace featuring a bunch of chairs. The staff members are super friendly and welcoming and the check in process was really smooth. There is a bar and a restaurant at the hotel too, together with a reception room available for all guests - everything in a pub-like fashion. The breakfast is included and they offer a selection of ~5 options. Both eggs Benedict and pancakes with maple syrup were fine and far from exceptional but the fact that they have a selection is super pleasant for an American small hotel. The rooms were overall quite old fashioned but well maintained. Our room had both a shower and a hot tub and it worked well. There was a gas fireplace also. The bed was good - the size was on the smaller side for me by the quality of the mattress was good. Unfortunately the TV did not work due to the connectivity issues but the rest of the things in the room worked well including a good quality and size fridge. The toiletries were of high quality. Overall I can absolutely recommend this hotel for 1-2 nights!

This is our third year and it has always felt like home! If you are looking for a special place to spend time together this is the Inn for you. We stayed in the Presidential Suite, however they have standard rooms as well that are extremely well appointed. The lounge and dining room is like no other property in the area. So worth the trip to the Inn at Thorn Hill!
