Absolutely loved this bed-and-breakfast. It is a beautiful old Victorian, which is kept very well with a lot of history. It's in a very nice neighborhood in Dover and very walkable. There is always tea and coffee and cookies available and breakfast was served on their porch and it was delicious. I would definitely return to this bed-and-breakfast

We loved our stay at the silver fountain inn! Start to finish, the whole thing was perfect. We were greeted warmly by Kim when we arrived, and wanted for nothing during our stay. Breakfast was incredible every day (I recommend the pumpkin spice scone!), and guests have all-day access to coffee and tea. I very much enjoyed trying the different teas! Our room was cozy and well-appointed, and parking was ample. I wouldn’t change a thing!

This property is not for the disabled or mobility challenged. The stairways are very steep without handrails to hold and are dangerous for mobility. We did not stay as my husband (who is disabled) could not climb the steep stairs to the second level. Even the entry steps at the front of the building have no handrails for stability.

We stayed on the 3rd floor. It was clean and quiet. The room was a little dark, but the bed was comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious. There were nice perks like coffee and tea available all day. We weren't able to try the teatime, but it looked lovely. The location was a short drive to the center of town.
