We hope this email finds you and yours healthy and peaceful. We are sending this update to share news of how we are handling the COVID-19 situation, and to assure you of our continued efforts on your behalf, now and in the future.
Follansbee Inn remains open for business. In New Hampshire, thanks to our relatively small, non-metropolitan population and rural lifestyle, incidence of the virus is low. While some restrictions are in place, businesses are permitted to operate, and restaurants are offering delicious take-out options for lunch and dinner. Gatherings are limited to <10, and people are respectfully maintaining the recommended 6’ separation as much as possible. A local hike or a walk around the lake is a good way to spend time in these days of social distancing.
We are taking extra precautions to help ensure everyone’s well-being. Spring is a predictably slow season for us, which provides extra time for cleaning, room detailing, and renovations. In the past 2 weeks, we have cleaned carpets, scrubbed shelves, installed new flooring and sinks, and upgraded furniture. We also purchased hand-wipes for the foyer, and heavy-duty wipes to regularly clean common surfaces.
A place to disconnect from stress. For many of our guests, Follansbee is a place where they can disconnect from life’s many demands. This past weekend, one couple joined us for what turned out to be “a getaway in their own private mansion”–with their own private chef! Today, one guest arrived, seeking time and space apart. If you are feeling the need to separate from these trying times, please call us.
We are looking forward to summer. We certainly hope, for many reasons, that the current health concern is long past, and we will see all of you who are planning to visit. (Many thanks to those who are continuing to hold their summer/fall reservations; if you have any concerns, please talk with us.) This summer, we are offering 2 new “Family Suite” options; as well as newly renovated guestrooms and bathrooms in Nancy, Olivia, and Mary Alane; new breakfasts; and a paddleboard.
When you can’t be with us, visit our website and Facebook page. Give yourself a 2-minute vacation enjoying the many Inn photos and see what’s happening with us and our guests—and Angel, the sweetest dog in America. Photos of our completed renovations are coming soon! Like our Facebook page and remember, for savings on reservations, use our website or call us at 603-927-4221.
In every season—even this very difficult one—Follansbee Inn is here to continue the good work of giving guests “An oasis of wonder in an era of increasing conformity,” which is how one guest described his experience with us. We look forward to hosting your next wonder-full time at Follansbee. Meanwhile, be wise and be well.
Sincerely,
Denis
