Lovely, welcoming inn with great breakfast
We were so impressed by the Dowd’s Country Inn! The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly from the minute we walked in. The property is also beautiful, with clearly historic details that have been very well maintained. Our room was lovely and comfortable, though my only qualms were low water pressure and the bed was a bit firm for my liking. Possibly the highlight was the amazing breakfast, included in your stay. They make your breakfast to order and have several options. I got pancakes and my fiancé had an omelet; both were absolutely delicious.

This was my first Inn experience. The stay was nice. The inn lovely. The town was quiet and cute. My favorite part of the Inn was the dining room. It looked out over the garden area. There was a stove with a fire lit at breakfast time. A very cozy feeling. The breakfast of French toast was excellent. The coffee perfect. The property was lovely. The stairs could be a problem for some people, the up and down could be difficult. Some squishy pillows for the beds would be nice addition. The general store next to the inn had a lot of home baked goods and sandwiches available in the morning. In all enjoyable stay.

Unfortunately the Tavern eatery was closed so the only food available was at Stella’s Italian Restaurant next door. Stella’s was delicious and expensive. All in all, it’s a fine place to stay. Colonial & cozy.
