It honestly pains me to write this review. I will start by saying that the owners are very nice people. Friendly, and offered plenty of things along with the stay. This place has real potential but it seriously needs TLC. Even though there is Wi-Fi, it does not reach the upstairs rooms, which is obviously inconvenient for people who want to work or relax alone. There are no televisions in the rooms either, so it forces people to go downstairs into the living room space instead of staying in their room for some privacy after a long day. There were a few issues with my room (#8). The door knob was broken, but the padlock worked. I had to manually flush the toilet (reach into the top to pick up the thing to flush) because it wasn't working. When I brushed my teeth and washed my hands the tub would start to fill, so there's clearly a clogged pipe somewhere. I could hear the people next door even when they were whispering. I'm glad I brought headphones. If you're just looking for a bed to sleep in, it was very comfortable. The ambiance in the bedroom was very cute, quaint, and clean. I loved the electric stove. I'd up the star rates if more care was shown towards the overall physical aspects of the property. read more

Obligatory I'd give zero stars if I could. This place was disgusting, absolutely filthy. I think the last time it had seen a vacuum was 1982. There was dust all over the shelves in our room, hair in the bathroom, trash hiding in random places, and a lovely plethora of other people's spit marks on the mirror. Oh and our fire alarm was potential disabled. Maybe it's hardwired but I shouldn't have to go on a scavenger hunt just to find the top of it. The walls are INSANELY THIN. I could hear our neighbor turning magazine pages and eating chips. She also had some pretty gnarly farts. Now, you should be able to rip a fart in the comfort of your room without a care in the world. It got to the point of being ridiculous, the walls in my shitty apartment have better insulation that this place. Yes, I know it's a Victorian home but when you own a bnb, you should probably consider that guests don't want to listen to some random asshole (literally) and insulate that bad Larry. I can't speak to the breakfast because I was not eating there after seeing the state of the place. They did have some old muffins that probably have been there for at least 2 months. Wish I was joking. Place is completely bad vibes. I'm baffled by the positive reviews. I could write more but my blood is boiling. I'm so mad that I spent money on this dump. I should have left, I don't know why I didn't. Go if you like filth and farts. Or muffins that are slowly decaying under a cloche. read more

When I questioned the man about the difference in booking pictures and the actual room. He got verbally aggressive. Told me to leave, that I would not get a refund. When I said no that isn't right, he started screaming at me. I called my fiance to come right away. While on the phone with my fiance he called me a lying bitch.(he was at cigar shenanigans) I was able to lock myself in the room. When my fiance arrived he screamed at my fiance and would not let my fiance come to my room to help me get out. I called 911. The police came and I was informed that the man (owner) said I pushed him. In all actuality he had pushed my fiance and called him a fat bastard. I have never had an issue at a hotel/airbnb or anything. I'm 5'5" in a rehearsal dress (getting married tomorrow). I'm crying afraid to leave a room. The police informed us we had to leave at his request. Leaving us to find a new hotel at 8pm on the eve of our wedding. Do not stay here. I can't even believe what happened. read more

The breakfast here is exceptional, truly. I had concerns about staying in a B&B during COVID and wasn't sure how breakfast would work. Breakfast was served in shifts and we were seated at different tables. The server was friendly and attentive. We had fresh orange juice, coffee, as well as a three course breakfast. Blueberry muffin to start, followed by fresh fruit with cream, and your choice of french toast or quiche with home fries and bacon. Everything was fresh and homemade. The other thing we loved was sitting on the deck with a drink and watching the sunset behind the mountains. My only complaints: spotty WiFi and our room had no TV. We didn't realize the room had no TV when we booked it, so that is our fault. I wouldn't recommend the hippie room if that is a dealbreaker for you, however, I would definitely stay here again in a different room. read more

This place was dirty, parking was horrendous (or non-existent) and didn't even want to eat the breakfast after seeing the kitchen. Clumps of hair on the bathtub drain, filthy yuck around the toilet, mirror was dirty, trash on top of the bureau. This place needs to see a vacuum and some Clorox ASAP. Pool and yard unkept. Total waste of a lot of money. read more

Stayed there last week of April. This place is a kids dream come true. Tons of toys and activities for Kids and Kids of Heart. Nice floating dock, rented a pontoon boat to go exploring and had access right at the house. Very clean, kitchen well stocked with cookware, Keurig coffee maker, standard drip coffee pot, all the utensils, BBQ Grill, etc... Nice adult bedrooms, comfortable Beds, Kids room has bunk bed and a pull out for a total of three beds. Pac Man stand up game console and more toys and games. I would recommend the Red Elephant Inn for families. Plan on going back in June. Our dog (Mini Aussie) loved it also, fenced in yard has a blessing for throwing the ball. We had a great time. Plus: The owners are really nice and accommodating to our needs. read more

So disappointed- no working fire place no working jets in the tub! Cute themes - friendly welcome. Delicious cookies BUT very outdated !

I would not recommend this place to anyone. The pictures and descriptions posted online are not accurate. We thought it would be a quaint destination for a few night's stay. For example, the website shows a pristine white porch beckoning guests inside. In reality the front porch is red and worn, with rotten boards. The grounds were messy. The bedroom furniture did not match the photographs on the website. Our room was very dirty. The toilet had a brown ring around the bowl, and clearly had not been cleaned after the last guest. The sink was clogged and would not drain. We asked the owner for help, and he flatly told us he was aware of the situation (the previous guests had brough it to his attention). The towel bar had been ripped off the wall leaving holes. The tub was dirty, and was missing tiles. The wifi did not work in the room. We had to step into the hallway in order to connect, and as soon as we stepped back in the room we lost connectivity. When we told the owner we were not happy with the accommodations and wanted to check out early, he swore and yelled at us. He refused to refund our money even though we did not stay the night. read more

Wonderful B & B near everything near and dear in North Conway. We were greeted warmly by the owner, Rob, upon our arrival. There was a tray near the entry with wine glasses and complimentary wine, chocolates and oranges. I'm sure there were other edible treats, as well, but I can't remember what they were. There is a cozy sitting area near the front of the house where we sat drinking our wine and enjoying the wood stove. The house was decked out still with Christmas tree, wreaths on the bedroom doors, and Christmas items throughout. Our room was delightful with a comfortable queen bed and a roomy bathroom. The owner had a dog, Brody, that was very pleasant and his girlfriend was visiting and had a cat, Hydro, that you would have thought was the resident cat. He was so personable and lovable with us. Breakfast was served starting at 8:30am in their dining room. It consisted of a muffin, a frozen chocolate banana, and a choice of two entrees, French toast, and eggs of some sort. Breakfast was very good and service was warm and friendly with Brody begging but we had strict instructions not to give in so we did not for his sake. It was a lovely inn and a very good price so I would definitely want to stay here again. The only thing I would say on the negative side was that it was quite an awkward moment when we wandered into the area by the open kitchen with a TV and sofa and chairs, talking to the owner and his girlfriend. I was going to sit down, thinking it was an area open for guests when I was told (gently) that it was the owner's residence. We then excused ourselves but, really, it was an awkward and uncomfortable moment for me. I did not intend to invade the owner's personal space so my advice would be to close it off so it would not have happened in the first place. This is one of the reasons I usually decide on a hotel instead of a B & B. read more

DO NOT STAY HERE! We booked here 6 months in advance based on reviews. Ownership must have changed recently because it was nothing like previous reviews. There was dust everywhere, carpets were not vacuumed in quite a while and the bathroom looked like it had not seen a good cleaning in months. The bed was saggy, the sheets didn't fit and the pillows desperately need to be replaced. It was a disaster. Breakfast was very good but I was nervous based on the condition of the rest of the house. There were lights that didn't work and be warned the stairs are narrow and steep and unvacuumed. The innkeeper apparently did his own housekeeping and he's not good at it though why you can't replace lightbulbs is beyond me. I cannot understand how anyone could give the five stars. read more

This place is run-down and dirty. When we walked in, the kitchen was piled high with empty pizza boxes and dirty pots, pans and dishes, as though it had not been cleaned in a week. Our room had not been vacuumed and the tub had a ring around it. The ceramic tiles around the bathtub/shower were falling off. The reading room had dirty glasses from previous guests. There is one positive thing about this B&B: the breakfast. It is great. The strawberries were amazingly ripe and fresh for October, and they were covered with a delicious cream sauce. I had the French Toast with orange maple syrup. It was to die for. But the breakfast, which was one of the best I have had, was not worth the filth we slept in. read more

I booked 2 nights at the Red Elephant based on reviews in the Moon travel guide, which has never let me down previously. The version I used was 2021, which I think is the most current version. This was my first solo trip ever, with the first 2 nights at this place. I arrived around 5pm and already had and uneasiness upon first sight. The exterior around the building didn't really seem 'kept up.' There was stuff laying around, and things were generally broken, chipped, cracked, dirty, etc. I went inside and Rob/Ron (?) the owner/operator gave me the rundown and took me up a very steep set of stairs to my room - room 2 / Las Vegas room. I noticed right away when I walked in that the carpet looked like it hadnt been vacuumed in a WHILE. I didn't see anyone else but him. The room upon first glance was fine, and I just dropped my bags and left to go to get dinner. I saw a different man on the way out. I returned around 7:30pm and still no real signs of this place being 'sold out' as claimed. I did what I imagine most females traveling alone do (and who watch too many crime shows), I looked behind the doors, the shower curtain, checked the windows were locked, and ... looked under the bed. It was disgusting - the room didnt have the best lighting but I could see lumpy white things under the bed that my imagine first turned into dead mice... I used my phone flashlight and determined that they were not mice, but 'latex products' and dirty keenex, and a whole lot of dirt/crud that looked as if someone had just swept everything under there for the past few months. I looked under other pieces of furniture and found blankets of dust; dust on most surfaces, hairs and crud stuck to the base of the toilet, etc etc. I felt sick about having spent over $200/night and at that point I didn't want to bathe, use the 'jets' in the tub (what might come out!), sleep in the bed, eat anything they prepared etc. I tried to get another room in town but everything was sold out. I was successful getting a room for the next night, but would have to stick it out one night in this place. Additionally the towels and sheets smelled - I cant describe it, but its like when you use something heavily perfumed to cover up something rancid or mildewy. I inspected the bed and put my jacket over the pillow to sleep on. The next morning I was up, packed, and ready to get out of there by 6:15am - I took my stuff downstairs and Rob/Ron was in the kitchen. There was a woman sitting in the room that connects to the kitchen - not sure who she was.... wife? I said good morning and let him know I wouldn't be staying the second night because the room was pretty dirty. He said 'no its not.' I asked if I could show him what I was referring to, and he said 'no.' So I was already totally caught off guard by this lack of customer service. I told him I had looked under the bed and that it was disgusting, and that the bathroom needed to be cleaned as well. He said 'its not disgusting, it was cleaned yesterday... if you are leaving then give me the key and get out.' I told him I wanted a refund for the 2nd night - he said 'you are not getting a refund.. please leave.' At no point did either of us raise our voices, but he was eager for me to leave - probably before anyone else emerged for their morning coffee. He kept repeating 'give me the key and get out... give me the key and leave... please leave... ' so I did... The woman just sat there. I later looked up reviews on Yelp and found many many similar stories so that helped me feel better... a little. Im not sure why the Moon book ever recommended this place. I hope this deters some others from staying at this place. Please know that I am not a picky person, and I rarely complain unless something is very bad. I tent camp, and backpacked through Europe for weeks staying at hostels, so I've seen some things... but this was more about the treatment and just overall unwillingness to even engage with my complaint. Safe travels all! read more

DONT GO BY THE GOOD REVIEWS ONLINE, or the excellent review on expedia, we called the inn keeper/ owner Rob on the way up, he said if were in late just go to our room, so we got there late no one was there too greet us, so me and my gf went to our room, walked in, very dusty, trash from pervious people, ALSO FROM PREVIOUS PEOPLE NOTE SAYING BLACK MOLD IN BATHROOM, sure enough a good size of black mold on the ceiling in the shower, hair on the bed, so we didnt even check in nore pay, WOULD NOT RECOMMEND UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, read more

Had a lovely stay last night. We stayed in the Neiman Marcus room, and it was spacious with a queen bed and a large bathroom. Also had a fireplace, but it was a bit too warm to test it out. The positioning of the windows made for a nice cross breeze, and we slept with the windows open. Had a good night's sleep. Breakfast was INCREDIBLE. 3 courses - chocolate chip muffin (homemade, unbelievable); strawberries with a cream sauce; and a choice of two entrees- I chose a quiche with potatoes and bacon. The meal was easily a highlight of our entire trip and way better than any of the area restaurants we tried! The hosts were wonderful. Rob went above and beyond. Also, if you're lucky, you'll encounter the dog who appears to be the true owner of the inn- keeping a watchful eye on everything, particularly overseeing breakfast. :) Interestingly, it was our first bed and breakfast experience. We were hesitant at first, but we now fully embrace that we are B&B people. The personal attention to detail is something you don't get with a hotel or an Airbnb. We will return! read more

Red Elephant Inn Bed & Breakfast - A very good boy - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - North Conway, New Hampshire

What a great experience I had staying here! The place was clean, had an amazing host, and delicious breakfast! I can't say enough about how great Rob was, and of course the dog, Brody. Rob was friendly, always seeing if we needed anything, and a great resource for local information. The restaurant he suggested was spot on for what we were looking for, aka "fun drinks and cool atmosphere". To top it all off, the breakfast was so good, I assumed he was a chef before this. I would recommend Red Elephant to anyone staying in the area. read more

We were looking to get away last August and do some kayaking up in NH for a few days. I remembered this inn that a friend of a friend's dad owns, and I liked the name. I will try anything if I like the name, and I like elephants. Usually, I make the right call. I'll never stay in a hotel again! Rob Cap was a gracious, welcoming host who permitted us full access to his fridge. We were given the keys to the Hollywood room with a large kingsize bed and 11 pillows (of course I counted). Casablanca and Bogey decorations everywhere. The stay was comfortable. Our room was huge, and what really impressed me was his attention to detail in decorating. The real draw is the breakfast. The first morning Rob made us poached pears soaked in coffee w/ a coffee syrup reduction. THANK YOU. I've been missing something all my life, and this was it. We had our coffee on the beautiful deck, and had a great few days kayaking, drinking our respective red wine and scotch, and outlet shopping. The service was unreal, as were the amenities. We explored the place top-to-bottom, and were immensely sad to leave. I'd absolutely head back, summer or winter. read more

We drove up from Boston for a last minute getaway on a Saturday night. We really wished we could have stayed for a second night, I know we'll be back this winter once the snow falls. Rob and his wife were wonderful hosts, charming and friendly and very helpful. My family ran a B&B for many years in Maine so I have fairly high standards and the Red Elephant met them all. We stayed in the Paris room which was quite lovely, a great size and not kitchy in the way many places are. And the sheets! Oh, the sheets were so smooth and soft that I may have briefly contemplated absconding with them. They have a great dvd/vhs collection to borrow from for your room as well as a well stocked library. We arrived just at sunset and there was a bottle of wine in the entry way that we were invited to enjoy as well as chocolates, apples and other snacks as well as tea and coffee. We took wine out to the porch and watched the sky turn pink behind the mountains. Breakfast was fantastic-a tasty muffin followed by homemade peanut butter yogurt with bananas and brown sugar (remarkably good!) and then a choice of a savory or sweet main course. I had the scrambled eggs with chive cream cheese, perfectly done bacon and English muffins. I really like the dining room setup with multiple small tables so you have a bit of privacy but can still talk with the other guests in traditional B&B style. When we left Rob gave us great advice on a short, nearby hike (Champney Falls Trail) that was exactly what we were looking for. All around it was a wonderful stay and we left very contented and impressed. read more

We stayed two nights at the Inn. Hosts were wonderful, very kind and helpful with suggestions on local dining. Rob's breakfasts are top notch!!! The rooms are comfortable and clean. I would say the star of the stay was the breakfast! Chef Rob knows how to delight the taste buds. read more

My husband and I stayed here during a quick weekend trip to hike Mt. Washington. I wish we had more time to enjoy the Inn as it quickly became a favorite of ours. We stayed in the New York room which was large and well decorated. The mattress was on the hard side but that is such a personal preference that it doesn't affect my review. We had to skip breakfast on our first morning in order to get an early start on the mountain but got to enjoy the lovely 3 course breakfast on our finally morning. On top of it the Inn is in walking distance to many restaurants. However be aware the parking is tight but they do have enough spaces for all the rooms. read more

This place should be shut down. The people who have left positive reviews are being dishonest or have no travel experience whatsoever. The interior and exterior of the inn are in major need of work. The room was filthy and the Wi-Fi only worked if you stood outside the door in the common area. The whole place smelled like body odor. The images and descriptions you find on line are not accurate. The inn keeper/owner was not interested in hearing any criticism and was intent upon charging us for two nights stay even though we left shortly after check in. His behavior was incredibly inappropriate. We tried to have an rational adult conversation with him but he was completely out of control, yelling, swearing and threatening us. Thus, we quickly left because we did not feel safe staying there. I will be contesting the charges with my cc company but even if we are still required to pay, I still have no regrets leaving. I only hope others don't make the same mistake we did. read more

I feel bad giving Red Elephant 2 stars especially since the owner is so nice and welcoming. But there are things we couldn't overlook during our stay last weekend. We stayed in the Paris room which is cutely decorated but the room really isn't that clean. Very dusty, the vents are corroded with dust, walls, etc. SO if you have allergies (like I do) beware. Also the glass cups they give you to rinse your mouth when you brush your teeth were absolutely filthy! I mean filthy! How could housekeeping over look this? Bathroom was an interesting design, shower had a strong stream, very hot water, tub jets too. Good quality toilet paper which is a detail I always appreciate. The beds were not comfortable and probably need to be replaced because of age. My back was achy in the morning. They have a gas fireplace which is nice however they didn't leave more detailed instructions how to turn it on! We finally figured out that there was a switch in the back after playing with the thermostat all night. The food is meh, OK, maybe I'm spoiled and used to really good food, especially when it comes to breakfast food, but honestly I think they just made a batch and heated it up in the microwave. Waitress was nice, they have a cute dog, Brody, who tries to seduce you with his cute little eyes to feed him in the dining room. You may hear an occasional bark in the morning as Brody likes to bark at the leaves. I love animals and didn't mind their dog but someone with allergies or has a fear, may need to know in advance that they have a dog. The Inn is actually located in a residential neighborhood. When we were arriving Friday night, a party was going on next door and we could hear drunk teenagers shouting from the porch. It was fine, we couldn't hear them in our room but I think we were expecting the Inn to be located somewhere more country-like. And Beware..there are thin walls... The couple up stairs over our room were very...um.."loud"..if you catch my drift. Then they did the walk of shame the next morning at breakfast! I gave them my best judgement stare! hahahaha Ok so pros: Nice, very, very welcoming owner which is always nice. Nice staff. Snacks of chocolate, fruit, popcorn, tea, even wine left out for your convenience. Cute Inn (just dirty), the dining room is cute, small , intimate, well-lit. Short drive to the center of town. Good, relaxed, unpretentious vibe. Tip for owner: Just hire someone to do an intense cleaning, dusting, scrubbing every 3 months or so and you will greatly improve your business and make your guests feel more relaxed. read more

I stayed at the Red Elephant last weekend and couldn't have been happier. We stayed in the New York room and got to enjoy a king sized bed, fire place, and double jacuzzi. Rob, the owner, was an amazing host! I briefly mentioned it was my boyfriend's birthday when I booked and when we got to the room he had balloons and delicious cupcakes waiting for him. So thoughtful! And the breakfast!!! Stuffed French toast, quiche, bacon, pancakes, fruit. All was perfect. After such a great stay, I don't see myself staying anywhere else if I'm in the Conway area. read more

My first experience at a Bed & Breakfast was at the Red Elephant Inn, a beautifully well preserved stately house with lots of historic charm. The location is right in the heart of North Conway but it is set away a bit from the hustle and bustle of main street. We spent a night in the Paris theme room, tastefully decorated and furnished. My husband and I slept like a baby and we woke up to the sweet and savory smell of breakfast. Ahhh breakfast...it was delicious! The french toast was melt in your mouth goodness along with the peanut butter yogurt and cream puff like confection. As for the inn keeper and his dog, Brody. They were so warm and welcoming, I felt like I was at home - away from home. The only con - well wifi was weak and reception was terrible but hey we went to NH to get away from it all. So no biggie. read more

My first experience with a B&B and I decided on the Red Elephant. I wasn't sure on what to expect. I had a general idea but still unsure so I went into it with very few expectations. One thing to note. I booked through expedia who had some of the info about the B&B incorrect which was explained to us how it worked. It's ok, didn't really effect much. Our room was actually upgraded upon arrival which was very cool. The place is very clean. The owner very accommodating and cooks one heck of a good breakfast in my opinion. He's an awesome guy with loads of info about the area. Brody his dog is very well behaved. We loved him. As animal lovers having his dog there and also his girlfriends cat made it a nice homey feeling. They have a no child policy which we LOVED! All that being said... the room was not really up to par. I wish I could give half stars because this would really be a 3.5 star rating but I upped it to 4 because honestly Rob is awesome. It's just the room. The window a/c has to be the nosiest a/c I've ever had. The bathroom was nice and spacious however it looked like it took some water damage here and there that was sloppily repaired. The bath tub was jetted but the jetted feature was very loud and seemed to vibrate the whole house. Maybe it was just me I turned it off after a minute because I didn't want to disturb anyone. I probably only got about 2 hours of sleep and my girlfriend even less. The bed was so uncomfortable. It was fairly firm but just something was not good about it. Was so bad when I woke up I needed to get a heat pad on it because it went out and I could barely move. Our vacation was also cut short because of it and we were forced to leave early wasted the cost of one nights stay. Final thoughts on Red Elephant: If you want that "come into my home and make yourself comfortable" service this is the place for you. Highly recommend. Book directly with the owner and not through expedia or anything similar so you get a good understanding what the B&B offers. Be mindful of the bed and possibly problems there. Would I return? Probably not based on how bad the sleeping experience was and the other little negative things. A shame because Rob and his girlfriend and furbabies are really great people and know how to treat their guests. I do recommend going here for yourself and giving it a stay. You might have a better opinion about the room. read more

Great respite from a hard day's hike. The red elephant is a pet lover's dream. If you are suffering withdrawal from a dog or cat, Red Elephant has the cure. Brody is an accomplished canine greeter and Maitre D'. He cares deeply about the quality of your food. I mean, he really wants to know how good your food is. That's how much he cares about service. Hydro is the feline room service attendant. He checked on us twice to ensure all was well with our rooms and that the bed was comfy, which it was. On the human front, Rob is a great host, dispensing hot coffee and expert advice on local recreation and amenities. Food and service were wonderful and you can't beat the view of the Moat mountains. We will be back! read more

My boyfriend and I recently stayed at the Red Elephant Inn in North Conway and had a great experience there! Rob was very nice and personable. The room was very nice (Hollywood, i think), it was on the main floor and had a big bathroom and plenty of space. The breakfasts were delicious; my favorite: scrambled eggs with chive cream cheese (yum!). I loved the nice touches, a bottle of wine and treats left out for guests, bottled water always available, dvds to borrow, etc. We were able to walk to town in a few minutes and there was food (and ice cream) right across the street. Perfect central location. We hope to return and definitely recommend to others! read more

This is a nice place to stay. We would stay again. The owner was pleasant and welcoming and his dog Brody was a delight. It was quiet and very comfortable. read more

If you like hearing your neighbor in the bathroom, then room 3 is for you. There is a suite door connected to another room through their bathroom. You hear every flush and all other human functions while trying to sleep. All the real positive reviews are from people in rooms 2 & 4 which are much nicer and more romantic. Room 3 is not very attractive. There is a queen bed and a day bed in the room which reminds me of a 90's teenager's room with the exception of this odd placard in the bathroom about Lawyers. Highly odd and just not appropriate. No one wants to see others viewpoints on lawyers while on vacation.. The room is only surface clean. For example, the carpet was not vacuumed prior to our visit. The owner is very goofy. He mentioned someone being in the hospital over an allergic reaction which is not appropriate during breakfast from a preset menu. Also, you can hear all disputes in the kitchen while eating. Any dietary restrictions like gluten, lactose,or vegan is incredibly foreign on this menu. The food is incredibly rich. read more

My wife and I stayed here in March of 2011. First impressions were very good and gave us a great foreshadowing of our experience here. The inn owner was very friendly, personable and outgoing, he was full of great stories and was a lot of fun. Inn staff attended to our requests and were very knowledgeable about the North Conway area and things to do in town. The inn itself is very quaint and the rooms and library were well maintained and very clean all around. Complimentary wine and a wonderful prepared from scratch breakfast formed the icing on the cake. I would recommend the Red Elephant Inn to anyone who wishes to has a good experience in North Conway. - Erik Kershlis read more

We just returned from a very disappointing weekend up at this inn. Many small things and one very big thing added up to this poor review. The big thing was during this time of covid and people still dying, we didn't appreciate being served our breakfast by someone not wearing a face mask. Once I said something one was put one, but too late! Also, there was a cat roaming through the first floor, having severe asthma and seeing it wondering all around, including the kitchen wasn't acceptable! We had a very uncomfortable bed, with one flat, lumpy pillow each. The room also had some dirty, worn furniture and a not so nice, not so updated, not so clean bathroom. The whole place just needs help, inside and out. And update your health standards! And I guess the most aggravating part was we were never asked how everything was, if we needed anything, just acted like we didn't matter! Find another inn, you will be happier. read more

Rob an his staff are great Inn Keepers! By far the best breakfast I've ever had at a bed and breakfast! amazing recipes! The rooms are clean and well appointed, location and grounds are perfect. This is the place to stay in north Conway! read more

Great place to stay!!! We booked online and then read the reviews which made us so happy we were going there. We went to Fryeburg, ME for their famous Fryeburg Fair and The Red Elephant was about 15 minutes away. Perfectly situated off Route302, just after the Red Jacket Inn, the Red Elephant Inn has 8 rooms which a unique and comfortable. The host, Bob, makes you feel right at home! When you arrive, he sincerely greets you like he's waited all day to welcome you. More like a dear friend than an innkeeper. Our room, The Hippie Room, is cute and was scrupulously clean and well appointed. Plenty of shampoos and amenities. There are snacks, 24 hour coffee, a bottle of wine put out each evening for guests to share, a prodigious library--but WAIT!! The Breakfast is EXCELLENT!! A bakery course, a fruit course and you can choose between a sweet or savory offering. I thought the scrambled eggs were the best I've ever tasted!! The dog, Brodie, is a love and I wish I could have brought him home. One thing to mention: breakfast is served at 8:30am. May be an adjustment to early birds. Bob offered me fresh-brewed coffee at 6:30 was straightforward about breakfast time when we arrived. Just a heads up. Well worth waiting for and we took s beautiful walk until 8:30. All-in-all a great find. We will be back!! read more

This was our first stay at a B&B and we loved it! We stayed in the New York room which was amazing- very clean, lots of space and a really nice bathroom with an awesome jacuzzi tub. As the other reviews have said, the breakfast was delicious! Rob was very nice and provided us with recommendations for local hikes and bikes rides in the area. We are definitely planning to return! read more

"Not your grandmother's b&b, and that's a good thing! No flowered wall paper, outdated furniture or creepy paintings! We had a great stay the Red Elephant and will go back at any time. The breakfasts were amazing, the inn keeper is great!" read more

This place is amazing we love to take the family here Rob and Brody are fantastic inn keepers every time I walk in the door I feel like I'm on vacation finally. Rob always points us in the direction of the best hills to sled and rocks to climb. read more

We wanted to simply get away from the boston scene for a little bit and this was the perfect place. We even showed up pretty late but they were extremely accommodating. A big room, with a shower and tub. Huge common space for storing things like foods and perishables. Adorable dog so maybe pet friendly. I had the pancakes which were delicious! An awesome getaway for sure! They even have a small fireplace which was nice in each room read more

Let me add my 5 star review for Red Elephant Inn. Rob runs a top notch inn. More importantly, his genuine warmth and kindness made us feel like family. The room was lovely and comfortable and the food was superb (fresh zeppoli and fresh pear poached in coffee--simply wonderful). Best B & B I ever stayed at! read more
