Exeter Inn

Exeter Inn

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed our stay immensely. It was nostalgic, but clean, cozy and inviting. Breakfast , included, was good, and some mornings great. Staff was all pleasant and helpful. Can't wait until next year. Hope the remodel does not remove the vintage New England vibe because that's what most ppl visiting New England are looking for. Beautiful place. Quiet stay aside from neighbors door slamming shut multiple times a day. Not a deal breaker. Location is good."
