Independence Inn,

6 Drake Hill Road, Strafford, NH 03884

"We enjoyed our room #4 in this quaint old home! It was better than their presidential suite room #5! The king sized bed was clean and comfortable. The propane fireplace kept us warm and cozy! We loved the idea of a small kitchenette right across the hall with snacks, although the bananas were a bit too ripe for our taste. We wish bottled water had been supplied. We didn’t see any employees, therefore we could not attest to service, but self service check in was a good set up."

"Tucked away in a rural area back in the woods. Very quiet surroundings. This is a very rustic but very cute. I didn't get to do any activities they offer or eat at the restaurant. I stayed "one night", checked in around 2 AM & checked out around 8 AM. I HIGHLY recommend trying this place. If you're not looking for a hot breakfast, pool, fitness center etc... or the high cost of a hotel with all the amenities you probably won't use."

"We loved our stay at the Independence Inn! It was just what we were looking for during our autumn trip to New England. The character of the old Inn was warm, quaint, and inviting. We stayed in room 2 and found the king bed very comfortable and loved the fireplace. We wish our stay could have been longer. This is a great place to stay if you want to feel like you had a small town, old-timey New England experience on your travels. And the price was right and the food at Heartwood was delicious. We would definitely come back here!"

"Room #5: You get what you pay for. Not a bad place to stay but we will not be back. It is old, which adds to its charm. However, no TV is a little bit of a drawback, though the wifi was good enough to stream on our phones. The shower was dirty with hair stuck to the wall (not ours), didn't get much water out of it, no soap on the sink to wash your hands after going to the bathroom, and the toilet (not sure if the water quality was responsible) was stained. No staff to talk about. The front lights BLASTED through the curtains, so the room was illuminated all night. The bed was comfortable. There are only 1/2 drapes, no shades or blinds, even in the bathroom, where men can look straight out the window while doing their business and watch cars go by."

"Cozy and clean stay in New Hampshire. If you’re looking for a romantic fall getaway, this place definitely needs to be on your radar. Food was great and if you can hike there are wonderful picnic spots nearby!"
