Wonderful Place to Stay
I have to say we really enjoyed staying at this location. The entire staff was so appreciative of the guests being there and supporting their Inn. We had dinner one night in the restaurant and breakfast both days we stayed. Such friendly service that went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. If we go back to New Hampshire again, we will be visiting the Dowd's.
Bad Business Model
Late in 2019 I contracted with Dowds' to reserve space for my high school class's sixtieth reunion in August 2020 and put down a $1,000 deposit. In late March 2020, due to uncertainty about the Covid-19 Pandemic, I informed Dowds' of our desire to cancel the planned reunion. I used the "Communicate with us" form on the Dowds' website. I did not get a response. In April I tried again, also using the "Communicate with us" form. Again, no response. In June I called Dowds' and was told that my emails had gone into their spam folder! This was their own form! They informed me that the contract specified that the deposit was non-refundable. I acknowledged that, but told them we were not cancelling arbitrarily, but because of health concerns for a group of people in their late seventies. Dowds' was unsympathetic and ultimately offered a $500 credit for a re-booking in 2021. I turned down that offer because of the poor impression of the way Dowds' conducts its business. Not at all professional. The $1,000 deposit merely held a date and when it became obvious that the date was no longer relevant due to the pandemic that should have voided the contract.
The best personalized inn stay EVER!
With the cautious staged Covid reopening we were a little leery of having to make this important family trip. But Tami and her staff made this an amazing respite. From Mariah’s ebullient check in, fabulous made to order country breakfast and solicitous help, we were made to feel like that special family member from afar. Would happily return again when all is fully available. Glad to be here and glad YOU are here! Thanks!!
Happy with our stay!
Quick overnight stay with my adult daughter, last minute, on our way to skate at Lake Morey. Our room was very comfortable. We had an outside entry room, butterfield, that could be accessed from the back stairs. Convenient to parking. Great meal at the attached Latham House Tavern. Recommend.
Comfortable Stay
Visited Dowds for one night. The room was really nice. It included a small sitting area. The bed was very comfortable. The staff was very friendly. Breakfast was great. Will definitely stay here again, if I’m in the area.
