With so many new faces finding us recently, we thought it was the perfect time to reintroduce ourselves.

Welcome to Silver Fountain Inn & Tea Parlor! We are a historic Victorian inn built in 1871, nestled in the heart of Dover, New Hampshire. In 2006, the home was transformed into a premier bed & breakfast, and has since welcomed guests into a place where history, hospitality, and memorable experiences come together in one charming setting.

Guests join us for cozy overnight stays in uniquely styled rooms that reflect the elegance of a bygone era, each one offering a peaceful retreat from the everyday.

But you'll quickly discover that guests enjoy more than just a place to stay...

In our Tea Parlor, you’ll find a thoughtfully curated afternoon tea, lunch experience with a menu that changes monthly, bringing new seasonal flavors and creative presentations to the table.

For those looking for something a bit more unexpected, our Murder Mystery Events offer an immersive and entertaining evening filled with laughter, intrigue, and a touch of theatrical fun! Be sure to follow our page to know when tickets to these events go on sale, because they do sell out.

We’re also proud to host private events in our Carriage House, a warm and versatile space perfect for showers, celebrations, and gatherings of all kinds.

One of the things our guests love most is our location. It's just a short walk from downtown Dover! Whether you’re exploring local shops, grabbing a bite to eat, or simply enjoying a stroll through town, everything is right at your doorstep.

Every visit here is meant to feel a little different, and a little special. Whether you’re here for tea, a night away, or a full weekend experience, we’re so glad you’ve found your way to us.
