Not ADA compliant (no ramp, just stairs) made handling luggage difficult. Proprietor was almost too friendly.

Not sure why we received a 3 out of 5 for providing a clean (place to stay) and providing a humdrum (Continental) breakfast. We will try harder.

Well done on the moose. Post some pictures on the Barron Brook Inn Facebook page. Others need to see that the moose are still here and have not elevated to mythical status. Thank you.

What a welcoming, cozy, friendly experience! It was more than just a place to spend the nite while on vacation. Jason and Beth and staff go out of their way to insure you will have a comfortable and memorable stay. Comfy beds, plenty of hot water, continental breakfasts- (early), cleanliness, good facilities are all important and you find that here. But helpfulness, customer service, personal interest, going out of the way to help and suggesting local activities are things not always found, but here it is! Thank you Jason and Beth

Relaxing B & B
My husband and I really enjoyed our short stay here. Super nice and helpful staff. It is a rustic, simple and relaxed B & B atmosphere. Pillows are skimpy and no black out curtains but we slept well especially when I put my earplugs in as the walls are thin. The common room was really conducive to chatting with fellow travelers. Highly recommend

I would stay at this property again. I would suggest not room 102 as it is against the stars and can hear people walking up and down the stairs through the room wall.The Hosts were very nice, helpful in areas of the building but in this area of NH with places to go, see and enjoy. A homey atmosphere with an inviting deck and large fire pit area. Wifi worked great, TV was a challenge, but we weren't there to watch TV anyway. The room was kept exceptionally clean during our 3 nights there. We'll check back into this property if ever in this area.

Response from BBI on 28 Sept 2023
Hello Marcel, Our property offers a casting solution for television which we inform all our guests via confirmation letter. We ask that you come with your user name and access to your home television provider so that we can assist if you don't already have an application downloaded on your smart phone. There are many free with ads and paid service providers beyond Netflix. It is my understanding that you refused to download any apps on your phone. We have operated for many years without house phones but answer our inn phone at all hours in case of emergency. We provide complimentary coffee in the lobby but we don't provide the mini coffee makers in the room. If coffee is not available in the lobby, guests just make the request and we are happy to brew fresh. We wish you all the best.

A few notes for clarification from our experience; as far as the TV situation is concerned: the TV's in the rooms have a Chromecast installed on them, using GuestCastTV to perform authetication to allow access to the Chromecast. As such, you must have a mobile device with apps installed with the content that you want to view on the TV, and those apps must have casting ability. For those who want live TV, you'll need a subscription service like YouTubeTV, or something from a cable channel. Netflix, etc. are OK (laptops are not), but in any case, that app must have its own feature to allow for casting. Space restrictions prohibit me from further info. A few other things, it's not a fully accessible property. There's no way to get to any room without at least 3-5 steps. The heat is a little glitchy, either too much or not enough. The breakfast is continental only (no protein) but sufficient, with a microwave available in the lobby. Refrigerators are available, for $10 per night, but only a few are available, so one will need to be brought into the room when checking in. However, let me say that it's a lovely, clean property; definitely nostalgic. We had to stay in one day because of terrible weather, and the rooms, bathrooms, and beds are comfortable for a longer stay. It's a nice jumping off point to not only a couple of nearby towns (with a few restaurants & groceries in Whitefield & Lancaster), but also attractions like North Conway, Gorham, Berlin, & Mt. Washington.

The innkeepers are delightful as was the room. We were surprised to find that the room had no tv unless you had a streaming service on your phone which we don't. It would have been nice to know that in advance. Location is perfect for the Weathervae Theatre and touing the north. Continental breakfast was good.

We are glad you stayed with us on your visit to the Weathervane Theatre. We are sorry for the inconvenience and lack of notice.

Our BeyondTV service has been well received so far and we feel fortunate to offer for our guests.
