Parking is available for our guests at the rear of the Inn, which is accessed from the Exeter municipal parking lot through the Town Employees parking lot. During the winter months, the Town of Exeter has a PARKING BAN in effect. Overnight parking is not permitted in front of the Inn and in certain parts of the Municipal lot. Your vehicle may be ticketed or towed if you violate the winter parking ban. Please understand we are not responsible for payment or reimbursement for any parking tickets or towing fees. If you are uncertain, see your Innkeeper for parking instructions. During the weekend, you may park in the Town Employees parking lot.
If you are leaving early in the morning and owe a balance, please settle your account the night before.
We are a non-smoking facility. Smoking is not permitted on our grounds. Smoking in the Inn carries a $1,000 cleaning fee per incident.
Meals are not included in room rates. Meals charged to the room will incur an automatic 20% gratuity. Please alert us to any allergies you might have (food or otherwise) so we can make special arrangements for your safety and comfort.
Fireplaces are active from October through April.
Guests are responsible for theft or damage to the Inn’s property. Rooms requiring excess cleaning will have added fees assessed to the guest’s bill at the sole discretion of the proprietor. Items such as linens and furniture that are damaged to the point of not being presentable will be charged the full replacement cost at market value PLUS 25%. It is understood that the Innkeeper has full discretion in determining whether or not an item or property is deemed presentable. Unless brought to the attention of management, all items in our rooms are assumed to be in presentable condition upon check-in.
Please be advised the inn keys have a $250 replacement charge. Please keep your key with you at all times, and return to the innkeeper at the end of your stay.
The inn is not responsible for any loss of any money or valuables.
