The Lyme Inn — Restaurant in Lyme

One star for Ariana's restaurant, one star for proximity to summer camps in the area, but that's about it. Lyme Inn advertises a delicious breakfast as part of your room price, which is one of the reasons we stayed there-very limited options around offer a morning meal, so it's nice to have it on the property. However, with an 8 AM breakfast start, early risers are out of luck at accessing the breakfast included with their stay. We had to be at our child's camp at 8 AM, so needed to leave the Inn by 7:30. When I inquired about some sort of pre-packaged food for those of us that needed to leave before 8, the disengaged person at the desk informed me there is "sometimes some food out before 8, but don't count on it." No alternative was offered. We ended up going down the street to the Italian market where we purchased day-old pastries to have the next day. I followed up with the owner of the inn-Jack Elliott-to express my disappointment. Not only did he not want to "right the wrong," he told me I should have asked for a "to go bag" and "we likely made food for you that you weren't there to eat so we had to throw it out and it went to waste." It's truly bold to be shamed by a proprietor when you're asking them to help correct a situation that went wrong. Save your money and pick another location. A business like this won't last with unfriendly people like this running it. We will be back to the area annually for camp drop off and will not...

– A Perfect New England Getaway

Staying at The Lyme Inn was an unforgettable experience. This inn is absolutely gorgeous—everything a bed and breakfast should be. Set in the heart of a small, quintessential New England town, it feels like stepping into a storybook. Quiet, charming, and full of character, Lyme is the perfect setting for a peaceful retreat.

We stayed in the Alden-Grant Suite, and it was beyond spacious and comfortable. The suite features a large, cozy fireplace, a generous walk-in closet, and a huge sitting area complete with a couch and chairs that invite you to relax for hours. The attention to detail in the furnishings and decor made it feel like a luxurious home away from home.

What truly sets The Lyme Inn apart, though, is the hospitality. The owner is incredibly warm and welcoming—truly one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. Their kindness and attention made our stay even more special.

If you’re looking for a beautiful, serene escape with top-notch accommodations and genuine New England charm, I can’t recommend The Lyme Inn...

We recently enjoyed 4 nights at The Lyme Inn. We enjoyed our experience. We stayed in the Dartmouth Suite which has a kind bed and large seating area. Bath room had Carrrera marble, large tub and shower. Our room also had a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Breakfast in included each morning and they have coffee and delicious chocolate chip cookies in the lobby. The staff are incredibly helpful and very friendly. No cell service in Lyme but the complimentary WiFi works well. The Inn is on the green in Lyme which is picturesque. The Lyme Historic House, Church, art gallery and Big Rock easy hiking trail are walking distance. Ideal to have a car to enjoy other trail heads, farms and local attractions that are within 10 miles. We went to Hanover one day but mostly stayed close to the Inn. Our was quiet and very comfortable . We had a gas fireplace which was cozy. The gardener does an amazing job. Due to frost danger she covered plants each night. Gardens have Adirondack chairs and umbrellas scattered across the lawn and patio....
