North Bridge Inn

We stayed here for two nights while in Concord. Very quaint, quiet inn within walking distance to the absolutely charming downtown area of Concord. Each room in the Inn is completely unique in décor and arrangement, and is named after a prominent figure in American history (we were in the «Emily Dickinson suite»), which was fun for history buffs.
Each morning the communal dining area offers a fresh breakfast buffet in addition to being served by the friendly staff of the Inn, who take individual orders for hot food such as eggs, pancakes, sausage, etc. This was a great space to talk with the other residents of the inn.
These five stars are secretly four and a half, as in all honesty, the older woman who was present for the majority of our stay as the concierge, while accommodating and helpful, wasn’t particularly as friendly as one would expect for an intimate Inn. However this certainly didn’t take enough away from the quality of the Inn to merit four stars. Would absolutely recommend this hidden gem!

Always feel right at home at the North Bridge Inn — cozy, private and quiet, convenient to walking to shops and restaurants.

My Husband and I had a very nice weekend. The Inn is very clean, room was spacious, very close to downtown area which is nice to walk around in, would stay again !

We have stayed at the inn twice with our 2 boys for the Patriots day activities in the area. Both times have been a pleasure. Our 2^nd stay, we were upgraded to a suite (which was sweet). Our boys loved the corgi (who they fed against the rules). Really family friendly. Cute walkable New England town center.

A gorgeous, quaint well-​appointed Bed & Breakfast with a spacious car park to the rear. This is just so typical of how I expected this part of the USA to be. So clean and well decorated. Our room had a separate living room, kitchenette where we could brew tea and coffee and two large Queen size beds with more pillows than Queen Elizabeth I had on her four poster. Lovely bath and shower with bath salts included and the usual condiments. We had bacon and eggs for breakfast as well as fruit and cereals and some muffins and cake. There is a delightful Corgi dog who is so cute and fluffy and lets you stroke her tummy. What a delight after the stresses of driving out of Boston on the right. Windows can be opened for fresh air. Quite expensive but exquisite. One of the owners told me (good naturedly) how the Americans beat us Brits but then the Yanks speak our language so I don’t mind too much! We spent an hour and a half circling Concord looking for highway 93 North on the map until we stopped at a police station and they told us we were looking at Concord New Hampshire and we were in Concord Massachusetts! What a hoot!

I have been here since first of June. This place is comfortable like home and so convenient. It’s not pretentious, but elegant. Heidi and Deborah go above and beyond to make your stay wonderful.

My husband and I stayed here during our babymoon and we were pleased with our choice. The rooms are a little dated, and there aren’t quite the amenities from other B&Bs we had stayed at (mainly, if are hungry and it’s after 8:30 when the nearby restaurants close, then you are out of luck). We arrived in time for dinner, and went next door since it seems like one of the only choices without driving around. That dinner choice is for another review however. It seems as if Concord is a bit of a sleepy town, because we walked around after dinner and everything was closed. So then we went back to our room and was just kinda stuck without much to do or any snacks. Yes, there is a kitchen, but we were just staying for the night and didn’t really plan to have to use it. So I would suggest some snacks be out so guests feel more at home. Even water would be nice. Other than that, the breakfast is great & the staff is very nice.

We were very happy with our stay here. First, they upgraded our room to the apartment at the top of the house (Dickinson room, I think?). My kids got their own room, separate beds, and my husband and I got the large room with two double-​beds and a sitting area. It also had a kitchen. Not a ‘kitchenette’ but an actual kitchen. I wish we could have stayed a week. The North Bridge memorial area is about a half-​mile away… an easy walk. The Colonial Inn (see my other review) is two doors over, and great for dinner. The main square of town is about a quarter-​mile in the other direction. We talked with Deborah, who was great — very friendly, gave us directions to the wedding we were going to, fixed us breakfast — generally was amazing!
We would definitely come back here next time we’re in New England.

My husband and I had been traveling throughout New England for 7 days. This was the last night before we headed to Boston for our flight home. The accomodations were great. In comparison to other inns we had stayed, this was one of the best. We were able to walk to great food, shopping, and experience the charm of Concord. Heidi and her staff were very cordial, quick to help in any way they could. Breakfast was a wonderful. I would highly recommend this Inn. We needed an extra day, so we plan to go back!

Have you ever been away on vacation and realize that your quarters are vastly superior to the hovel, er, apartment you call home?
Such was the case at the North Bridge Inn, who for its bathroom alone, trumps the typical cramped NYC area apartments.
Booking a stay at the NBI was simple and through their website. I had a special request, mainly that we were arriving much later than check-​in and if that was a problem. No problem at all!
Any inn worth its name has to have a loveable dog on the premises: NBI is no exception with one of the plumpest corgis I’ve ever seen.
The innkeeper was friendly and willing to lend a hand in providing travel information. The room was equipped with plenty of pamphlets and brochures of nearby attractions. A book case in the common area on the 2^nd floor also had a Frommer’s Guide to New England among other works.
The included breakfast was satisfactory and filling enough for a few hours before the great hunger pains kicked in. Homemade banana bread was the highlight for me and one will find freshly sliced fruit, muffins, assorted teas and coffee. Additionally, an entrée is offered and it’s whatever the kitchen is making: no choice there. Pancakes and eggs were the dominant theme.
As for location, the Inn’s entry is on the side of a real estate office. It’s not that difficult to find and there is plenty of parking. Within walking distance of Concord’s main street, your best bet for dinner is the nearby Colonial Inn, which has a bar and restaurant.
We stayed in the «Thoreau Suite», appropriately named after one of Concord’s many literary giants. My only complaint was about the noisy air conditioner unit, which would stay on, stutter, turn off, come on again and repeat throughout the night. We we were able to place the device into fan mode which did not suffer from the same noisy shortcoming.
Otherwise, the suite featured a mini kitchen, complete with fridge, a surprisingly large bathroom and a comfortable king sized bed.
A peaceful location in a town steeped in history, the North Bridge Inn was our home away from home and easily serve as shelter again.

We had a wonderful, restful weekend here. The suite was very pretty and the beds perfectly comfortable. Heidi, the manager makes one hot dish each morning to go with the muffins, pastries, fruit etc… One morning it was pancakes and she asked our 9-​year old daughter if she would like some. She said no thank you as she really likes the ones that I make her on Sundays with chocolate chips… Heidi found some and made them for our daughter! So sweet! We would stay again in a skinny minute.

We spent the night at the North Bridge Inn which is right in the center of Concord. The location can not be beat. We were very pleased with our spacious, clean room as well as the delicious breakfast offered the next morning. To our surprise, we were offered a breakfast of fresh cooked eggs to order, fresh fruit, yoguart, muffins, and some very good coffee! Best of all, they were pet friendly which made a very big difference to our travel plans. I highly recommend the North Bridge Inn. Sally W.

Staying at the North Bridge Inn was a the perfect ending for our three weeks long travel along the the East Coast. It was a quiet, restful and clean. Waking up to the smell of hot coffee and whatever delicious breakfast they had prepared was great. Loved the staff, they were cordial and they even let us print our boarding passes from their own computer. The rooms were large and cozy and very clean.
I highly recommend it. Actually, we are planning to come again with our extended family while visiting Concord.
