This was our second stay at the Reluctant Panther, and we enjoyed it very much. Our room in the main building was beautiful. My cousins' room in the next building was great, with a lovely back porch & pond view. We had the breakfast basket everyday in the dining room, which was fine. I would definitely recommend this property for location, decor, cleanliness, and good value. Hope to return again soon!
We returned after a 43 hiatus! Did not disappoint! Wonderful stay and elegant, delicious dinner in their restaurant. The town has changed a bit but enjoyable. Toured the Hildene Lincoln Todd estate which we highly recommend. Thank you, Richard and Bonnie of the Reluctant Panther for the recommendation.
Having dined here in the past we decided to make a stay at the inn as well as enjoy a nice dinner. Room was clean, comfortable, spacious and well appointed. Dinner was excellent. Breakfast basket was appreciated but could be improved somewhat. Will definitely come back
We loved the overall ambience and the friendliness of all staff. Our stay was relaxing, worry-free and we really appreciated the uniqueness of the room. Found it to be very comfortable and clean. We will fondly remember our stay!
We would stay here again. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. Our room was spacious and comfortable even if slightly dated, and an excellent breakfast from scratch was included each morning. All in all, the inn provides great value for money compared to the other options nearby.
Easy check-in - lovely room. Found the beds a bit too hard for our liking. Nice way to do the breakfast by ordering the night before and they were able to accommodate the allergy. It was a shame that the restaurant was closed the night we were there.
Wonderful weekend away in Manchester at this charming inn. Attentive, warm staff all around. Great dinner at the restaurant - trout and pork chop were both excellent, along with the signature lobster fondue. Will definitely return!
