“Friendly, Anglo/French Inn - had a great stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

My wife and I stayed at the Parker House Inn for one night on our recent leaf peeping tour of New England and had a really good time.

OK the owner (Adam) is English and a big music and football fan so I might be biased but overall we couldn't fault the level of service and quality of the Inn, we also met his lovely wife and children so it's a real family concern - and all the better for it.

Room was huge with a great double bed, very old fashioned but it suited the building, no TV but no problem for us, think shabby chic and you get the picture. The bar and dining room is very French as is his wife and this is reflected in the food as well as the decor. We had actually already booked to eat in the Simon Pearce restaurant which is next door but I must admit once I had seen it, it looked a bit pretentious and clinical, I therefore cancelled and we ate at the Parker House and I'm so glad we did.
I can't understand the reviewer who made the sarky comments regarding English food - I get the impression they were trying to imply English food was always bad, but to me English food is like American food, when it's good it's excellent and when it's bad it's awful - thankfully the Parker House fits into French Bistro/English gastropub cuisine - I had one of the best racks of lamb I've ever tasted at the Parker House and coming from near Wales which has the best lamb in the world, that is quite a statement.
Adam's hospitality also ran to introducing me to Gosling's dark rum - I polished off half a bottle as we sat in the bar discussing English football and music, so OK perhaps I am biased but what the hell, us Limeys have got to stick together.
Enjoy your stay - we certainly did.

“Place to Crash”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011

Like every B&B at which we've stayed, when we were making our reservations everything seemed to indicate the rooms were almost sold out, while the actual occupancy rate was about 1/3 full when we spent the night. I would think that a free upgrade in cases like this might tempt people to return. The room was large enough, though some of the peripheral furniture was pretty shabby. There were no room darkening shades for privacy, and the windows in the room were screwed closed. I though that a bit weird as a safety issue. There was dust on the furniture. The appearance of some sort of commercial vehicle in the dark hours of early morning woke me with its back-up alarm. The shower was tiny, and the bathroom sink also miniscule. There was nowhere for my wife to place her 'kit'. The bed was comfortable. The restaurant offerings were overpriced.. My wife had the Lobster Risotto, which was also to have included some shrimp... barely any lobster or shrimp. By the way, the prices on lobster are very low right now and have ben for a while, so there's no excuse to not offer up a fair amount. I had the double lamb chops which were done to perfection.

“Delightful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

My daughter's Vermont wedding had to be replanned due to the damage hurricane Irene caused. We found the Parker House and from the moment we walked through the door we knew everything would be alright. The Inn is charming with a staff that is talented, generous and welcoming. If you are hungry, they will serve you a delicious feast, thirsty, offer you something you've never tried, but will now become your new favorite. Every request we made was delivered immediatly with a smile and question if there was anything else they could do. The entire time we were at the Parker House they made us feel like our stay was their priority, and judging by the smiles on the other guest faces they made them feel the same way. I cannot wait to get back.

“A wonderful stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011 via mobile

I booked the inn because of it's location as we were hot air ballooning on Saturday. When we arrived Friday night Adam, one of the owners, greeted us and showed us to our room and he was very friendly.

We had dinner out on the porch and the food was very good. We Ended up in the bar after dinner and had a wonderful time talking to the "regulars" who come here weekly. Everyone was so friendly from the staff to the customers. Definitely have Adam make you one of his signature drinks!

Our room was very large and comfortable, the only issue was that the bathroom door would not stay closed.

I am a "picky" traveler and would stay here again!

“Beautiful old inn, incredible breakfast on the porch”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011

person found this review helpful

We were in Quichee for a wedding last weekend and managed to get a last-minute room at the Parker House Inn, so we canceled our reservations at a chain hotel in White River Junction, and we're so glad we did. It's a beautiful old property with wide wood-plank floors, antiques galore and a wraparound porch overlooking the river.

We had a great night's sleep on the firm mattress, they were gracious and accommodating about getting us an ironing board and iron, and the breakfast (served out on the porch) was sensational: a delicious, thick, crispy pancake with real maple syrup, fresh fruit (blueberries, strawberries and cantaloupe), scrambled eggs, and bacon, plus coffee, orange juice and your choice of newspapers. Couldn't have been happier with our stay!
