Colby Hill Inn

Wi-Fi and homemade breakfasts are free but the real draw is the quaint New England experience at the delightful Colby Hill Inn. With its white clapboard siding and weathered wood barn the low-rise Colby Hill Inn embodies the charm of New England. Its 14 non-smoking rooms are outfitted with traditional furnishings but offer modern perks like free Wi-Fi and alarm clocks and some feature romantic jetted tubs and fireplaces. Thoughtful touches include down bedding bathrobes and hairdryers. Wake up to the smells of the free hot breakfast and return in the afternoon to fresh cookies and coffee. During summer months guests take advantage of the inn's seasonal outdoor pool and read books in the gazebo. The inn's restaurant serves elegant dinners next to large windows that overlook the gardens. Parking is free. About 10 minutes from I-89 in New Hampshire the Colby Hill Inn is a half-mile from Henniker's small town center. Guests walk to the town's handful of shops and eateries as well as to New England College. Concord is 20 minutes east and offers not only more restaurants and shops but also cultural sights such as the Capitol Center for the Arts and the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center. In winter skiers head three miles away to Pats Peak Ski Area or travel farther to Gunstock Ski Area an hour away. Get outside on the trails at Rollins State Park or drive north to Tanger Outlets each within 40 minutes. Manchester Airport is a 39-mile drive.
