    A Gem of a B&B

    October 10, 2012

    Hospitality plus--Carol and Ken invite you right into their home, which is as comfortable as can be. Upon our arrival Carol prepared a tray of delicious goodies and tea for us. The Rose room was as comfortable and cozy as it could be--perfect reading lights over the bed, complimentary small bottle of Pinot Grigio with wine glasses in the room and small Fireplace for added warmth. Both Carol and Ken are fabulous cooks--candlelit breakfast was a most enjoyable feast by the working fireplace. Baked, glazed pear whetted our appetite for the next course of piquant quiche and pecan tarts. Everyone raved about the coffee. Best of all was the welcoming warmth and friendliness of our host and hostess. We enjoyed a happy getaway to Southern NH.

    Charming B&B

    Wonderful Stay

    October 17, 2011

    The Ashburn House and hosts, Carol and Ken, were wonderful. Felt like home. Carol and Ken are a warm and friendly couple. Their home is very welcoming and had everything and more that you would want when staying at a bed and breakfast. We hope to visit them again when we can get away from our own bed and breakfast.

    Best B&B of our trip

    October 15, 2010

    Ashburn House is everything that my husband and I expect from a B&B and more--what a wonderful start to our vacation in New England! It was obvious that innkeepers, Carole & her husband, have put their heart and soul into this place. The location is wonderful for hikers like us, who are ready for some hearty trails in and around Mt. Monadnock, the rooms charming, and the breakfast very tasty and wonderfully filling. (Evening coffee/tea and sweets also helped!) Carole was a most gracious hostess and made us feel welcome. We definitely recommend this B&B. Thank you! Susan & John, NC

    Quaint, romantic, countryside B&B

    February 02, 2010

    Everything you would expect and more from a quintessential New England inn - beautifully restored Colonial home, gracious innkeepers, delicious hearty breakfasts. Bedroom was nicely appointed with THE MOST comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Innkeepers spoiled us with warm, wood-burning fires in the common area, tea, and popcorn. Water pressure in attached shower a bit weak, but this may be unavoidable given the age of the house.

    A Wonderful Experience

    October 22, 2009

    My new husband and I stayed at the Ashburn House on our wedding night. The room was beautiful and the breakfast the next morning was amazing. Anything we could want was available to eat and Carole and Ken we so warm and welcoming! I would recommend this place to anyone. It is also located in a quaint New England town that is a relaxing getaway.
