This is a fabulous inn! The innkeeper is very sweet. She makes you feel right at home. The town of Exeter is cute and we were given great choices of things to do in the area. The rooms are also lovely. We traveled with an infant and it wasnt a problem. I also forgot my necklace there and they were... More

We decided to try something new by staying at a bed and breakfast. We arrived Friday evening and were greeted by Susan the Inn keeper who immediately welcomed us like we were family. She gave us a tour of the living room and dining area for breakfast as we went to check in. She provided us with the key to... More

My wife and I had the pleasure of spending a weekend at the Inn by the Bandstand. Innkeeper Susan Henderson was delightful as was Zach. Having been a history teacher before buying the Inn, Susan was able to enlighten us not only about the Inn itself but also about all the other historic elements of the town of Exeter. The... More

My husband and I just returned today from a two night stay at the Inn by the Bandstand. I honestly can't say enough about the inn and the inn keeper herself!! We have stayed at many, many inns, as we love the smaller warm feeling from inns rather than hotels. From the minute we arrived until the minute we left,... More

We stayed here Friday and Saturday of Easter weekend and it was a wonderful experience. Susan and her staff, including Zach the Golden Retriever, are friendly and welcoming and made us feel at home right away. The inn is a beautiful historic building in the center of town with lots to see and do within walking distance. Susan was very... More

My wife and I had decided to go on a small getaway. We had both been putting in long hours for many months at work and need to recharge our batteries. Lisa had looked up a special on “Groupon” and found this little gem. The place was warm and inviting from the moment we arrived. Our room was charming and... More

We stayed here on a Saturday night and really enjoyed ourselves. Lovely room and well situated in the center of town with plenty of small shops in the surrounding blocks which made for fun window shopping. Recommended for a weekend getaway.

This was a wonderful experience! We stayed two nights and three days and had a FANTASTIC time! The Inn is beautiful and very relaxing. Our room was lovely to come into upon arrival. Each morning the Inns keeper served a delicious meal in a rather roomy dining room. There was also a convenient refridgerator with very reasonably price drinks such... More
