We arrived into an inviting lobby. Just through the front desk was a warm, comfortable living room. Off of the living room was the dining room where hot beverages, wine and cheese awaited us. But first we wanted to go to our room and drop off our bags. We stayed in room 19 on the first floor. The room was... More

It's not a high end B&B, but it's an OK place to stay. It's a very old house, the room was showing it's age. But, the service was excellent. One minor problem was fixed right away. Breakfast was well above average with a big selection including made to order pancakes and sausage. The dining area was very clean with cloth... More

My husband and I wanted to enjoy a nice B&B with New England charm and this looked like such a lovely place on line. Sadly, we didn't research reviews. We stayed in Rm 3 on the third floor. It was very small and gave the impression that it was under construction. No pictures on the walls, the knots in the... More

Yes, you got us on the non-working fan and the extension cord. We have scheduled the election to come and take care of both items. As for the floors, those are 230 years old. They are the original. A lot of people like that. We are sorry you did not. And yes we know it was a busy breakfast that... More

I should preface this review by saying how much I genuinely wanted to thoroughly enjoy my stay here. My husband and I are newlyweds and were looking forward to spending a mini-honeymoon weekend in N.Conway until work slows down enough for us to be able to go away for a couple weeks. I had read the previous reviews and was... More

WOW. I sincerely apologize. This should never have happened. First, thank you for staying with us and we hope you will give us another try. As for the bedding, please be assured that our bedding is sent out after each guest stay to a professional cleaning service in Gorham NH. I have called the manager there and asked them to... More

You got me! So today I replace the thermostat, put a sweep on the door and bought a new lamp for the bed. Mattress will be delivered tomorrow. If it wasn't for your review, I wouldn’t have known. Thanks! Isaac Merrill House More

Reserved here as a blind choice bid on a travel site. The house is around 230 years old, and nobody will question it. It has been updated and renovated but never really modernized or reconditioned. The upgrades look to be amateur handyman work, and all the room doors are closet quality. Breakfast was quite good, and the staff very courteous.... More

Thanks for the words. We appreciate you taking the time to review us. Yes we were built in 1773, the floors do slant and I do all the work on the building. As everyone knows, B&B owners don’t drive Bentley’s, so I do wake up with a screwdriver in my pocket and go to work. Thanks again for staying with... More

We stayed at the beginning of summer but I was moved to write when seeing the recent negative reviews. We had a fine time. It is a converted farmhouse and the building is old but that is part of the charm. We saw no significant defects, nothing that affected our enjoyment. Our own room was fine, large and the bed...

We stayed in room #5 on third floor after booking on internet. Temperature 105* F at arrival. Room did not match internet photos at all: everything was seedy, tired, old. Dirty carpet; peeling wallpaper, room and bathroom doors hard to close; toilet seat broken, bathroom light burned out. Every single dish at breakfast was chipped (coffee cups, plates, syrup pitcher).... More

We recently had the wonderful joy of staying at the Isaac Merrill House. We occupied their suite room -- a nice master room and a smaller one to which the kids were banished. We absolutely loved our stay here. Now, there are some reviews that almost insinuate that the Isaac Merrill House is the American version of Fawlty Towers. Nothing... More
