The Dowds' Country Inn & Event Center Logo

A family owned Inn serving the Upper Valley for over 35 years.

 

The Dowds' Country Inn, known also as the Latham House, is a historic home that was renovated in 1989 into a quaint, country bed & breakfast. It has since grown into a 20 room establishment with a 200 seat banquet hall hosting catered receptions & banquets from weddings to company parties. The Dowd family & staff seek to provide a home-away-from-home experience with home-spun, NH hospitality.

We got a nice layer of fresh powder on Tuesday and have more snow on the way! Make sure to take advantage of our ski and stay packages with Dartmouth Skiway this season, or enjoy the many snowshoeing and cross country skiing options in Lyme.
The flowers on the patio are in bloom! Not a bad backdrop for our tavern and private event guests.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there!
We can’t wait to have these blooming outside our doors again! Our family and staff hope everyone is staying safe and healthy! #dowdscountryinn #springtime #springblooms #tulips
