We stayed at the Franklyn Farm Inn for two nights, based on the content of its web site (site) and…read moreonline reviews, such as Google Reviews and booking.com. The site is misleading, and the reviews generally don't reflect our experience. Examples follow. First, though, I want to mention that we enjoyed speaking with "JJ," who was very helpful, pleasant, and informative. The comfortable rocking chairs and shawls are a nice touch. The site states, "Daily Baked Good. Enjoy homemade treats." The mass produced store bought cookies tasted awful. We weren't offered, and we didn't see or smell, any "baked good[s]" or "homemade treats." The closest "baked good" was a Pillsbury Grands biscuit served one of the mornings. The site indicates breakfast is served "7:30-9:30 a.m.," but it was served from 8 to 9 a.m. Neither day did breakfast even closely resemble the photos on the site. The first day, the commercially prepared French toast was undercooked. The second day, the commercially prepared quiche was barely warm. Both mornings, we ate all of our breakfast because we were very hungry. We've stayed at other B&Bs, in the US and in Europe, where the food (including the baked goods) was homemade and far superior to the two breakfasts that the Franklyn Farm Inn served. As stated on the information sheet posted on the room wall, towels aren't replaced, and the room isn't made up, daily. There was no place in the "petite" bathroom (or in the sleeping area) to hang the lush towels to dry. We were provided only one wash cloth each, even though we stayed for more than one night. The small trash receptacle wasn't emptied during our stay. At other B&Bs where we've stayed, towels were replaced at least every other day, there was an appropriate space in which to hang the towels to dry, the number of wash cloths was more than adequate, and the room was made up daily. During our entire stay, the hottest water in the bathroom sink was lukewarm. The liquid hand soap for the bathroom sink appeared to be diluted. The windows in the sleeping area are filthy, and the only way to keep either of the windows open is with a provided "stick." The first night, the room temperature was comfortably cool. However, the second night, the room was very uncomfortable because it was extremely hot and dry. The step provided to get into and out of the much too high comfortable beds is dangerous, as it slides on the wooden floor. Stuart, the dog, is cute and friendly. However, he may be "too much" for those who prefer to admire him from a distance. Per our request, the inn keeper supposedly gave us a senior discount. However, we've since noticed online that, in fact, we didn't receive a discount. Considering the above, almost $300 for two nights, including tax, is much too expensive. We won't return to, and we won't recommend, the Franklyn Farm Inn.

We didn't stay at the Grafton Inn, but we did make the drive from Londonderry for dinner. We…read morepicked the Grafton Inn since the reviews were good, the menu was interesting and the prices reasonable, plus they were open on weeknights. Reservations are easy to make online. Getting there proved a bit challenging when Google Maps routed us on State Route 121 which has some unpaved sections; luckily going back was easier using Route 35 to Route 11. Arriving at Grafton the first impression was of a classic New England Inn with a welcoming glow on a cold winter night. Entering through the B&B lobby had a great warm and comfortable feeling. The feeling of history is reflected in sign over the front desk showing the many prominent guests who have stayed over the years. The restaurant is classy, burgundy-colored walls with white trim and classic fixtures; a wonderful upscale dining room without being stuffy. They even had live music with a guitarist playing soft rock. Our server was very nice, professional and attentive. The menu combines classics and some interesting touches, I ordered the Bouillabaisse and my friend ordered the Caesar Salad and Chicken Wings. Our food came out quickly. The Caesar salad was huge, the wings were tasty and a generous portion. My Bouillabaisse was excellent a nice tomato and fennel broth loaded expertly prepared scallops, shrimp, mussels and a large fish fillet. The highlight were the large sweet perfectly seared scallops, but all of the seafood were delicious. For me this was a Pescetarian dream dish. We were persuaded to order dessert my friend got the Apple Pie and I got the Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie topped with vanilla ice cream. Both desserts were sweet and satisfying, a great way to end a wonderful meal. I would strongly recommend having dinner at the Grafton Inn, the food, service and atmosphere are great, prices are reasonable for what you get. This was a perfect way to top off our ski trip with a superior culinary experience.

It dates back to 1801- and has old world charm with some nice updates as well. We attended a wedding here- but were able to check out the food from the Phelps Barn Pub- excellent!- and had a delightful breakfast at the Inn. The breakfast was a buffet with eggs, pancakes, French toast, biscuits and sausage gravy, bacon, sausage, fruit and more. Yummy! The rooms and the rest of the Inn have a historic feel. But they provide good WiFi throughout to keep you connected. The bed was a king- I slept like a baby! We will have to come back to check out more of the facility.

I usually stay at Best Western, but their stay 4 nights but pay for 3 attracted me to try again HH is NOT a B&B. It is a mansion with nice rooms connected to a motel. They have a nice bar, but only open it when large group books motel. They have a commercial kitchen and dining room, but don't use them. I was at an event, and food came from outside caterer (pretty poor buffet, but that wasn't HH's problem). The motel rooms are clean but spartan, no coffee maker, just a small TV and a bed. One light didn't even have a lampshade on it. In the old days the restaurant was one of the best in town, but that was a long time ago. HH's idea of breakfast is a few piles of pre-packaged scones and muffins that were there all day, every day. And a Kuerig to make your own coffee/tea. For service, there is someone at the desk from 9AMish to 4:30PM. Nobody there overnight. If you arrive after 4:30PM (checkin begins at 3PM), your key will be in an envelope taped to the OUTSIDE of the front door. And you're given a 4 digit code to open the front door. If, god forbid, there's a fire at night, firemen would have no clue which rooms are occupied since no employee would be present to tell them. If as a customer you need some help after 4:30PM, you are just f&%ked. This used to be a pretty nice place, but time and decay have not been kind. As it is with the rest of Springfield. I don't consider it a business, its more like a hobby. Even with the reasonable price for extended stays, I won't be back. And that's just sad, it could be so much more.
