We were very pleased with our experience with Three Chimneys. We held our October wedding there and stayed at the inn multiple times throughout the planning process, and we always found the service to be excellent.
We took over the entire inn for the wedding weekend and our guests all raved about the beautiful rooms. The innkeeper and event staff were very friendly and accommodating, and they did a great job answering my hundreds of questions and trying to meet our special requests. My guests were all impressed by the quaint historical decor; the website doesn't even do it justice. Go see it in person! It was the perfect setting for a fall wedding.
The rooms are clean, spacious, and beautifully appointed; you feel like you are stepping back in time as soon as you set foot inside. This is a small inn in a very historical setting, and it's one of the most unique properties around. As some previous reviewers indicated, there are a few charming quirks (higher beds, creaky floors) that come with any such property, but it is well worth it for the setting and personal service you get.
The inn overlooks the Oyster River and has a lovely garden and outdoor terrace for enjoying the better weather. On chillier days, the tavern provides a welcome respite from the elements, with exposed brick, rich wood, and warm lighting all adding to the cozy atmosphere inside.
We rented all three function rooms on the Inn's lower level for our 140 person event; it was cozy, but the space suited us perfectly and there was plenty of room for dancing. The food was delicious and we received several compliments on it. I have been to a lot of weddings, and although I may be biased, I think our food was definitely in the top tier! To the staff's great credit, on the day of my event everything went off flawlessly.
Overall I was thrilled with my experience with TCI, and I would choose them again in a heartbeat for an event venue or a weekend escape. We'll definitely be back to celebrate our anniversary!
