Cranmore Inn

We enjoyed our stay very much. The rooms were remodeled, nicely decorated, and very clean. The breakfast each morning was delicious. The Inn keepers were personable, friendly, and helpful. The outdoor hot tub was amazing. We will be back to stay at this quaint little Inn.

After a long day of hiking or canoeing, the huge outdoor hot tub is amazing. I stayed here last year with my daughter in room 201. That’s a great option parents with a child because the inside French doors can be shut for privacy. The beds and pillows were new. The morning breakfast was hot and wonderful. Eddie and Christopher were happy to make recommendations for outdoor activities.

Loved it! Our room had a full kitchen, living room with twin trundle bed, pullout couch and a desk, separate bedroom with king size bed. Super comfortable, looked freshly updated and painted, very clean, perfect for family of four. The common areas of the inn were very comfortable also — again, looked fresh and updated but not fussy. Coffee and brownies in the main living room in the afternoon — perfect after skiing. Breakfast was great. Welcoming to families. Location was really good — short walk to the main drag, close to Zeb’s, train station, two great coffee shops, etc., 5-​minute drive to Cranmore mountain.

Now I have only been to one bed and breakfast before but that was also in North Conway, just down the road so I would assume the accommodations would be similar as the price was similar.
Pros:
–great location, all restaurants and shops are within walking distance
–super comfy mattresses
–delicious homemade treats at 3pm daily
–access to a fridge and a wine cooler
–friendly waiter for breakfast
Cons:
–they keep the heat so low in common areas it is always cold in there
–no Real fireplace, they just have an electric one that never goes on bc the temperature in the room has to get super low for it to work so the ambiance is lost
–they serve coffee and tea only during the hours they chose, from 8:30am-10am then 3 – 6, otherwise you have no access to coffee or tea so if you like coffee in the morning you need to walk down the road and buy one which we did each morning
–limited breakfast selection and you are NOT allowed to deviate, if you want to add a pancake to your breakfast you can’t, if you want bananas in your cereal, not allowed
–Innkeepers do not sleep in that building so they are not there often
For the money you pay for a bed and breakfast, you would expect a warm, cozy place, a roaring fireplace, and access to the basics like even a Keurig cup to have a coffee in the morning or mid day. There are many other choices in the area, don’t waste your money on a place that is more about restricting everything vs doing what is best for your customer.

Very nice B & B, the attention to detail in the remodeling is wonderful. The staff were all very accommodating, very clean

It’s probably what other people would give a 5 star review, but hotels creep me out. Friendly staff and a quick check out made the experience far less unpleasant. It’s 150 years old and that history and a giant front porch with rockers grab an extra star.

We stayed at the Cranmore Inn this past weekend and had a fantastic family weekend getaway! We usually visit North Conway every year before Christmas for the Polar Express and in years past have rented a condo much further from downtown and loved this family friendly Inn within walking distance to all the shops, restaurants and train station. We stayed in the 2 bedroom Kitchen Unit which was perfect. The unit was impeccably clean and comfortably furnished for our family of 2 adults and 3 small children. Breakfast each morning was delicious, service was great and we could relax in the living room to enjoy the Christmas décor and yummy treats in the afternoon. The Inn keepers and staff could not have been more accommodating and we will surely be back during the summer to enjoy the rocking chairs on the front porch, back patio and in-​ground pool.

Beautiful inn with friendly staff. The room was well appointed and very clean. Breakfast was excellent, though only available between 8:00am and 9:30am. Check out time is an early 10:00am and note that you may only check in between 3:00pm and 6:00pm unless you notify them otherwise (being a B&B this makes sense). The location is great. It is within walking distance of North Conway Village, the Conway Scenic Railway station, and several restaurants. Very close to Cranmore Mountain and other places for skiing and outdoor recreation.

Recently returned from a 2-​night stay over MLK weekend. We were a little nervous for our first B&B with with our two kids (5&7), since we usually opt for «noisier» hotels, but the owners couldn’t have been more accommodating and the place more kid friendly. (They have kids of their own, so they «get it.») Kid friendly doesn’t mean messy, however. The place has a very clean, comfortable, and relaxing-​place-​for-​grown-​ups feel. It’s just our kids felt as welcome as we did, especially in the common TV room with the giant TV and selection of board games.
For lodging, we had a 2-​room suite which was perfect for our family of 4, giving the kids their own room. We especially loved the hot tub after a fun but cold day of skiing at nearby Cranmore Mtn – about a 2 minute drive away. Breakfast was incredible, too, and the owners’ recommendation for dinner (Hooligans, a block away) was spot-​on!
To sum it up, we were very happy with our choice of the Cranmore Inn. The owners were clearly interested in making our vacation enjoyable, from the discount lift and tubing tickets to their overall friendly demeanor. We will definitely be back!

My girlfriend, her father, and I stayed here recently, and it was an amazing experience! Eddy, the owner of the inn was charming, funny, and welcomed us with open arms. The environment was quaint but very well contained. The beds were comfortable, the showers nice and warm, and the town surrounding the inn had its small town charm. Definitely a place I would return to again. AAA members can also get a discount on the price! Well worth the money for such an amazing experience.

My husband and I spent two nights over Thanksgiving weekend at the Cranmore Inn and are already talking about a return trip. This B&B has so much character! Each piece of furniture around the inn seems to tell a story. The architecture is detailed and interesting. The whole inn was incredibly clean and very well kept. Our guest room (304) was recently renovated and beautiful. The innkeepers, Christopher and Eddie, took excellent care of us during our stay. Breakfasts were plentiful and delicious & the company of the other guests and innkeepers made our visit special.

We almost stayed here. So that opening line should tell what is to follow is not pretty. We were up for a long weekend in NH for mountain biking. We drove by and saw they they had rooms available so we stopped in. I guess I should have had second thoughts based on vacancies 1 block from the center of town. We were me by an elderly woman at the desk who seemed a bit ticked that her cross word puzzle time kept being interrupted. She turned out to be very nice. We could not check in because they did not get there sheets back from somewhere. Ok we left and walked around for awhile. Came back an hour later same story. So we went out to sit by the pool. The back of the property was weed infested and the pool was filled algae and leaves. Could see no visible signs of an active filtration system. At that point the impression was made and I could not have cared less if the inside was impeccable. We politely told the elderly woman we would not be staying and left. I had to give it a star to post.

The Cranmore Inn was a delight to stay at for our weeks hiking vacation! We arrived to find a very clean quite enjoyable Inn with a great location close to everything in North Conway. ²⁴⁄₇ there are yummy home made chocolate chip cookies, ice tea and coffees for your enjoyment. Good breakfast, nice hot tub and enjoyable pool out back. We walked to dinner, drinks or shopping almost every day. The Cranmore Inn is a relaxed enjoyable very clean atmosphere, if you want expensive stressed out «charge me a fee for everything I do or need at your hotel» then go someplace else. We will be returning to the Cranmore Inn!

Bob and his team have done a wonderful job of updating this old inn. With smell of bacon calling us to breakfast in the morning. The inn has the charm of turn of the last century with a few modern update free wifi, pool, and hot tub. No phones in the rooms, but who needs them in this day and age.

I stayed here with my BF over the Columbus Day weekend. The place has a great location– off the main road, but still very close to the restaurants and maybe 20min from all the hiking trails we visited.
I think my BF liked this place more than me… I definitely had some issues with it. Our room was okay– we stayed in the loft, decent size room. However, the first thing that hit me was the smell as soon as we walked in. Can you say MUSTY and OLD? They should consider cleaning the carpets or just removing them all together. Unfortunately the pillows smelled musty too and the mattress was rock hard. Also– really weird but in the bathroom there was a metal shelf above the sink and it made it almost impossible for me to bend over and wash my face without spilling water all over the floor and bumping my head on the shelf.
You can tell they try pretty hard though– having stayed at other B&Bs in the past, this one is definitely more organized. The breakfast area is big and the kids working there are very nice and polite. The breakfast was delicious, but I could’ve gone without the apple sauce and opted for eggs instead.
Overall, the location of this place is fabulous and it’s OK. If we go back to North Conway for another long weekend, I would probably stay here again if we couldn’t find anything else.

I really enjoyed our stay here. The people were great, but the beds are very squeaky. This doesn’t sound like a big deal, but we were woken up every time someone rolled over. Breakfast was really good, and the price was very reasonable when you considered the breakfast factor. A very short walk from main street made it very convenient. When we go back to the area we will stay here again.

We recently stayed at this Inn in North Conway over New Years. The Inn has a lot of history and character, with period pieces from when it operated as an Inn or ski lodge. There is a cozy living room, though some chairs are quite old, with a gas fireplace and two vintage pianos. There is also a study area with a television and books, and the dinging area has puzzles, board games, and more books to read. The rooms are unique, and not necessarily in a good way. Some doors are not square, leaving gaps between the frame and the door itself; some rooms have slanting floors and the floors creak throughout the house.
The current owner is committed to updating and modernizing the inn, and there are signs that he is working hard throughout the building. New drywall is being put up, old wallpaper being taken down, and repairs on the building are ongoing. Since the building is over 140 years old, some settling caused the «uniqueness» we found in the rooms. Despite this, the rooms were comfortable and the staff very friendly. The full breakfast erved every morning was great!
The location is fantastic, with the inn only a block away from downtown North Conway, and the Cranmore ski lodge is about a mile down the road. Local stores are easy to access and there are several good restaurants nearby. The views from the rooms have mountains in the background, including Mt. Washington in the distance. Echo lake and the nearby Saco River provide some easy hiking, with more challenging hikes only 10 – 15 minutes away.
Overall, we would recommend this place to stay if you are looking for an inn with history and a great location in North Conway.
