My first experience of a bed and breakfast-,a beautifully appointed lodging in Victorian array was wonderful. The Silver Fountain combines beauty with the art of tea.

Property was pristine and absolutely gorgeous. Impeccably decorated appropriate to the style of the historic inn. Gourmet breakfast choices served with a smile and graciousness was the best i have experienced in 40 years of extensive travel!! Kudos to owner and employees. Don't even consider staying anywhere else in the Dover/Portsmouth area!

This is a beautiful property with a great breakfast, a very pleasant proprietor with a great bed. It's also just a short drive from I-95 near the Maine/New Hampshire border and the perfect place to rest on a longer drive through New England.

Liked the place a lot, super cute and comfortable. Awesome breakfast too! Rarely do you find a B&B at this price. I think years of staying at overpriced chain hotels just your average lazy buffet style breakfast
