A Newfound B&B, our White Mountains, New Hampshire bed and breakfast, is nestled on a mountainside overlooking Newfound Lake and Cardigan Mountain. It's a peaceful place that beckons you to slow your pace and to nourish your soul. Enjoy breathtaking views during the day and magnificent sunsets in the evening.

Stroll in our colorful vegetable and flower gardens surrounded by acres of woodlands. Are you ambitious? Take a hike on the trails abutting the property. Relax to the sound of chirping birds and a nearby babbling brook. Our bed & breakfast in Bristol, NH is charming, romantic, quaint, comfortable, relaxing, and revitalizing.

We are centrally located to The White Mountains & Lakes Region. There are so many things to do in summer, spring, fall, or winter; antiquing, biking, golfing, fishing, and more. Start your day off with a complimentary home-cooked breakfast. Enjoy fresh eggs from our own chickens. Sheep will be joining the B&B in 2010 for grazing, wool shearing, and spinning and eventually sheep cheese, too.

Head out to a fun-filled day of boating or swimming in Newfound Lake, which is one of the cleanest lakes in the nation. Go sightseeing, leaf peeping, hit the slopes, or snowmobile on trails right to the property. We have ample on-site parking for trailers and a free boat launch at Wellington State Park. It's all here for your most memorable time away.

We have all the comforts of home, with a cozy atmosphere in front of the fireplace in the living room or in a luxury suite. Recent renovations include a country style decor with your needs in mind. You can watch a movie, play a game, or read in the loft. We strive to be your best alternative to large hotel chains, and we take pride in our personal service, attentiveness, and genuine concern for the comfort of our guests. The spirit of relaxed hospitality awaits you.
