The Lower Merrimack - Ash Street Inn

Summary:

Honoring one of New Hampshire’s mightiest rivers, this room’s water pressure is every sporting guest’s favorite. Among other fine Victorian details, double-hung windows afford abundant daylight, here at the Inn’s southeast corner.



Welcome to the Ash Street Inn, New Hampshire’s premier boutique bed and breakfast in Manchester. Located minutes from downtown Manchester, NH’s largest city, and only 15 minutes from the airport, this urban inn combines 21st century amenities with all the beauty, grace and charm of an 1885 Victorian home.



6 uniquely designed bright guestrooms with high ceilings and private, en-suite bathrooms provide a sense of elegance and comfort.



The Space:

No one will greet you at the door — and that's entirely by design. Ash Street Inn is fully self check-in, and management is not on site. Your door code and everything you need to arrive well lives in your guest portal, waiting for you well before you do.



- 1 Queen bed

- Nectar Mattress

- 1 Private Bathroom

A note before you book this room

Both first floor rooms sit at the heart of the Inn. That means you're close to everything — and everything is close to you. Here's what shares your floor.



What's on your floor-

Entrance: The front door is on the first floor. Guests come and go throughout the day and evening.



The Parlor: A shared sitting room, open to all guests during their stay.



Dining Room: Open to guests for dinner Sunday through Wednesday. Thursday through Saturday, it's available for breakfast (7am–2pm) — evenings those nights, see the Chef's Table below.



Chef's Table Ash restaurant: Our restaurant operates on the first floor Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings, opening at 6:30pm. On those nights expect the sounds of a working kitchen and a full dining room. Thursday – Saturday 6:30pm – close



Breakfast:

Your stay comes with Bees. Metal ones. Each Bee is worth $12 at The Honey Cup Café — our neighbors, and frankly some of the best coffee in town. One Bee per guest per night lands in your room at check-in. Bees & Breakfast. It's a Thing Now.



Communal Areas:

- The kitchen, fridge, and laundry room keep your stay running. They're ours to manage — staff only, please.

- The Parlor

- Dining Room (Sunday-Wednesday, Open All Day) (Thursday-Saturday, Open 7am-2pm)



Restaurant:

Come Hungry. Come Thursday.

Three nights a week, Chef Nick Provencher opens his kitchen — and his table — to whoever's smart enough to show up.

The Chef's Table at Ash is an unhurried thing: many courses, a couple of hours, neighbors close enough to pass the bread. The menu changes every week, because why would it not.

$100. No gratuity expected. Bring wine (just wine, for now). A decanting station awaits it — and you.

Reservations can be made via phone or open table.

Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays only.



Guest Access:

A code will be provided to access the front door and the unit door.



The Neighborhood:
