The Farmstead

The Farmstead Formerly known as The Farmstead Bed & Breakfast.
πŸ’•Victorian Style Bed & Breakfast πŸ’•

You were able to come and step back in time and enjoy the hospitality, tranquility and wonderful outdoor nature at The Farmstead. Awaken to the aroma of coffee brewing, eggs, bacon or sausage and pancakes on the griddle. The Farmstead is ideally located for taking advantage of the finest the seacoast area has to offer. The Farmstead is minutes from downtown Portsmouth with its historic port, uniq

ue shopping and fine restaurants. The Farmstead is minutes from Downtown Dover, NH and its quaint shops & small but wonderful nightlife...We are a skip and a jump from the Maine beaches, historic York Village and the factory outlets in Kittery. And about one hour drive north or south will take you to the Kancamagus Highway in N.H., The White Mountains (lots of wonderful hiking!), ski slopes or to Boston, MA (Children's Museum, Museum of Science...Mugar Omni Theater!).😊

Figured you'd want a little undercover hello from The Colonel during his retirement 😊😊😊 Enjoying a breakfast sandwich as a treat after fasting for some routine blood work before his 6 month check up! πŸ’™β€

Well today August 31, 2020 was Farewell to the Farmstead Bed & Breakfast...(founded in 1986).

We signed it over to new owners today!!

It was a 34 year run for "The Colonel" aka John &
Meb aka Marian and with Lisa as Manager for many moons from I believe 1994ish to 2016ish. (no quoting on those dates!πŸ€ͺ)
I stepped in after she left to help run things it became a true family affair πŸ₯° with the help of my 3 boys... their 3 great grandsons, my sister & close family friends.
Cleaning the Barn took me literally 4 years! so all in all it was perfect timing!! Plus they were ready to come home The Colonel is tired and his mind is very tired! and Meb has her hands full with him not something she can deal with on her own! Now she will have the help of all of us at home. Surrounded by family. β€πŸ’™
The last year they were up at the Bed and Breakfast it was residential...we closed doors after our busy season last year 2019.
They have been home all but 2 days and are settling in well they love to read!! Colonel looooves the extra good food! (aka good snacks chocolatesπŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ)
There is definitely going to be some adjustments still lots of unpacking to do only so much has been done but we are trucking right along!! At least all attic stuff is in attic now...big huge positive dent in the process...

We got a pictures today!! Leaving The Farm for the last time "Bye bye Farmstead...we will miss you" they both said in sync. They waved the whole way down the driveway...to the Barn and all the way out onto 236...that was amongst the hardest pull aways I've done!! Lort was it hard to keep it together πŸ˜”πŸ˜”πŸ˜”

And once again we wanted to thank "ALL" that came & helped us clear out the barn during the yard sale & free days! You all were awesome!! πŸ™ŒπŸ™Œ

Tyler (Marian's great grandson) took her for a walk down the driveway. It's not going to be much longer before she will not be walking this driveway any longer. So we will be trying to enjoy the property the best we can with the time we have remaining with the Farmstead. β€πŸ’™β€πŸ˜”
