My husband and I have spent years vacationing in the Franconia area, and have known the Horse and Hound for decades, although we had never stayed there. Looking for a place not far from home where we could celebrate my retirement in December, we chose the Horse and Hound after reading about the new owners and the major restoration of... More

We stayed at the Horse & Hound inn for 2 nights in the autumn. The inn is in a very beautiful setting, off the beaten track. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful with advice on how to get the most out of the local area. We visited to experience the colours of the Fall and were treated to... More

After a recent stay, I have to agree 100% with the other reviewers here on cleanliness, character of the building, friendly proprietors, reasonable rates and the excellent restaurant, however, there is one big catch....NOICE! However, if you are the "late to bed, early to rise" type, please disregard my comments here since this is the place for you! Look no... More

This is a nicely located inn in a quiet area. When the restaurant at the inn is very busy it can be less than quiet, but overall a very nice experience. The food is excellent and breakfast buffet overwhelmingly great! Our room was very spacious and garden view beautiful with autumn color. Library is cozy.

We found everything positive about the inn and would easily go to it again if in that area. The room was spacious, the breakfasts were tasty, the dinner we had met all of our expectations, and the inn-keepers and staff were very friendly and helpful.

We went to New Hampshire see the fall color. We never stayed at a bed and breakfast before, prefer to stay at reputable hotels. Due to the limited selection of hotels in the White Mountain area of New Hampshire, we decided to stay at a bed and breakfast, for a change. We did not regret the decision. From the information...

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
THE RETURN OF A CLASSIC. The Horse and Hound, located in the rugged White Mountains of New Hampshire, first opened in 1946 as a tasteful inn, tavern and restaurant. With three fireplaces and knotty pine paneling throughout, the inn welcomed everyone from Hollywood stars to local outdoor enthusiasts and quickly established a reputation for great food, elegant lodging and warm hospitality. Now celebrating its 65th anniversary, the Horse and Hound was closed from December 2010 through June 2011 while undergoing a comprehensive restoration to its classic lodge style. Now completed, the cheerful tavern, gracious dining room, elegant lobby, handsome library/lounge, and nine restful guest rooms once again invite you to unwind and relax after an active day in the Great Outdoors. Thank you for your interest and we look forward to welcoming you back. FOOD, SPORT & STEWARDSHIP OF THE GREAT OUTDOORS. ... more   less
