A fantastic family owned and run Inn with a brilliant welcome. These people really care and are passionate about the guest experience. A beautiful historic property with a lovely warm ambience. Comfortable rooms, spotlessly clean and in the perfect spot for exploring the squam lake region and the northern NH scenic trails.
A lot of sustainable practice and locally sourced ingredients adds to the experience.

I don't usually review, but the Ballard was such a lovely experience! It's a beautiful, historic inn, and our room was comfortable, nicely furnished, and spotless. There are a couple of comfortable sitting rooms for the guests to use, and the view across the trees down to a lake from the veranda was lovely. Breakfast was delicious, including a fresh home-baked sweet loaf every day, and there were the cookies every afternoon. Brian and Lynn could not have been more friendly, welcoming and...

Mark and Lyn were somewhat surprised to find we had arrived in Meredith by bus! Not to be recommended. Taxied up to their charming hotel. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, homemade granola, yoghurt and raspberry couli, followed by poached pears and Mark's soda bread. Lyn took us down to the lake for a trip and collected us in the afternoon. They could not have been kinder or more concerned that we enjoyed our stay. We loved it.

One of the best Bed and Breakfasts we have stayed in over the years. Hosts Nick and Amy made us very welcome and we would recommend to anyone thinking of booking. Beautiful house and immaculate. Restaurants within walking distance in this lovely town. Pity we could not have stayed longer.

Excellent host, nothing was too much trouble. A Victorian property and furnished in appropriate style. We enjoyed delicious breakfasts cooked to order. Would certainly recommend.

We stayed here for 3 nights on our tour of The USA. The owner David could not have been more helpful during our stay. The breakfasts are delicious and prepared with great care and thought by David himself. The rooms are very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The hotel is set in lovely countryside and a few miles near the lovely town of Plymouth. The located is handy for a visit to the White Mountains and also Lake Winnipesaukee.

We stayed here at the beginning of August. It is a peaceful resourt with good amenities including two pools, tennis court and a games room they also offer a number of day trips. The staff are all very friendly and we're on hand at all times. The accommodation was clean and functional. The resort is located next to a golf course and we found it to be a great base for days out visiting NH.

Fabulous 1 night stay on road trip through New England. Huge bedrooms, comfy beds, great soaps/toiletteries, gowns and amazing evening dinner on site and lovely breakfast. Very friendly staff, easy to find and all in all our favourite stop on our trip. Wished we had stayed and extra night!! Quirky but cosy place to stay! Highly recommend.

The setting overlooking the lake was beautiful, everyone working in the Inn was very friendly and helpful and the dogs were great fun too! Lake view rooms are superb. So big and furnished well too. Exceptionally clean and amenities for tea and coffee really good too

When we booked this Inn it was a traditional accommodation but was then taken over by new people who changed the format. So rather than be greeted and have breakfast it changed to an inn where there would be no breakfast and you’d get a PIN number to enter before your stay. We were a bit concerned but being 2 nights in the middle of a 3 week holiday we just went with it.
From the moment we received the email advising us of the changes to the moment we checked out the experience was actually...
