We have recently been featured in two articles. One is about the Exeter Historical Society’s Tour of Historic Homes, which we were a part of on October 3rd. Click here.

The second article features our daughter, Sara, describing the steps we are taking to be environmentally friendly. Click here.

We are proud to announce the beginning of our new airport service utilizing our 2010 Prius Hybrid. We have started picking up our guests at both Boston Logan and Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, as well as, South Station in downtown Boston.

Our environmentally friendly service began last week. Using this alternative transportation saves money on expensive car rentals. Exeter is a very walkable town, and should you need transportation while you are here, (for example the beach) there are a number of options available.

So let us take care of the driving for you as you explore this wonderful area!

Boston Magazine now features us on their website! Here is an excerpt:

“Make like it’s 1809 and hole up in one of this Exeter inn’s nine guest rooms, seven of which have fireplaces. The furniture and décor are all antique, but the amenities, such as free wireless, are decidedly modern.”

The accolades keep coming and we feel blessed when folks take the time to write about us. You can write your own review on their website. Just click here.

“Ray and Margaret found our room to be very comfortable, clean smelling and artistically decorated with antiques. Jim, the innkeeper and staff made us feel right at home. Great experience.”

Olivia Peters, the Inn’s exclusive photographer, recently completed a photographic journey through the Inn, taking loads of pictures. I am in the process of working them into the website. My goal is to make our guests feel as if they are in the Inn right from their computer desktop! Please take the time to enjoy all the photos, which give a beautiful sense of what it is like to be here!   -JL
