Wonderful time
I had been looking for an unusual place to stay for a few days while visiting my son and his family in Dover. He recommended the Silver Fountain Inn, based on a rave review by his sister-in-law, who stayed there some months ago. The owners were very warm and friendly, but not intrusive and made me feel very welcome. I stayed in the English Rose room on the third floor, which was very picturesque and had a nice view of surrounding properties and large trees from its two windows. The breakfasts were made to order and were delicious and filling. I made a big hit with my 3-year old granddaughter, whom I had never met until this trip, by giving her my blueberry muffin from breakfast! All in all, it was a great and much needed vacation. Thanks to all!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There's one room at this place without a bath in the room and I got it. (I guess I missed the small print) Even that bath was not clean and ready for me at 3 pm check-in. They said it would be ready at 4...slightly rudely because I seemed impatient. The rooms are very "old fashioned" in a stuffy way. There were old socks in one drawer and a soiled paper towel in the bath...after it was cleaned. And, NO TOWELS. Checking in was tedious and awkward in a narrow hallway. Breakfast was an endless wait just for coffee, with the one staff repeating how busy it was and she was alone, so I was supposed to not care that it took 20 min for one cup of coffee. I left. Glad it was just one night.
