I would like to give this Inn a good review as the people there were friendly and the overall the place was clean with lovely gardens. But due to my lumpy mattressed bed which looked like it was ready to fall apart and the outgas smell from the bedroom faucet which reeked of sewage, I can't. When I complained about the sewer smell, the lady offered me another room but that faucet smelled equally as bad. Nothing more was said to me until I happened to walk by the desk the next day and she asked me if the smell was better. It wasn't so I had to rinse my face and brush my teeth with bottled water. The shower pressure in my bathroom was no more than a trickle which was annoying also. I won't be staying there again.

We spent 2 nights at Dowd's in a nice large room on the first floor. The administrative staff was friendly and competent. Unfortunately this Inn had no common area where guests can comfortably sit and chat. It also lacked professional staff in the dining room. Advertised as a bed and breakfast the breakfast choices lacked luster. Dowd's could be so much better with some minor fixes. Their guests deserve more.

BEWARE if you are thinking of staying at Dowds Inn for a Dartmouth graduation weekend. They have an advance full payment, non-refundable deposit policy, which is OK if you don’t suffer a serious health event such as a heart attack, stroke, injury, etc.—which is what happened to us. When we had to cancel—we had no choice; when asked, Dowds refused to even consider offering a refund. Even after we found another family to book our room at full price. (Dowds had failed to find a replacement—we did it for them). Dowds—who would thus lose no revenue if they refunded us did not do the right thing but rather chose to keep both families’ payments, doubling their revenue for the room. To be safe, choose somewhere else to stay.

The hotel cancelled our reservation for this coming August well over a month after it was confirmed. They gave the room away to another party instead, leaving us to scramble to find a different location for Labor Day weekend. We were disappointed in their customer interaction.

This inn makes you feel like you are being welcomed into the home of an old friend. Everyone is very gracious and helpful. This is a beautiful area of the country and I plan to return to hike and explore the area more.
