What guests say
9.5 / 10 · Exceptional on Booking.com, from 88 guest reviews
Somerset House Inn earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment, driven almost entirely by the exceptional hospitality of host Courtney and her team, who consistently go above and beyond to make guests feel at home. Breakfast, location, and atmosphere are repeatedly praised, though guests should be aware this is a characterful, older New England B&B — rooms are not large or modern, and at least one has a hallway rather than en-suite bathroom. Travellers who embrace traditional inn charm will love it; those expecting contemporary finishes may want to manage expectations.
