The pictures do not even begin to validate how extremely beautifully restored this house/bed and breakfast is. Every touch has been carefully thought of throughout the entire B&B. Everyday when we returned from an afternoon of skiing the entire house smelled of warm baking cookies that were offered along with an array of coffee, teas and magazine selections.
The location is only a ten minute drive to Mt. Sunapee. If you are going to be skiing I would only recommend staying in Sunappe. The other towns (Bradford, Newport, and New London) are between 20-30 minutes from the mountain on roads that are not that great to drive on in bad weather. From what I understand it is also in walking distance to the lake.
We stayed in the spacious and warm Granliden Room. The room has a king size bed and a HUGE spa tub. We had a chance to view all the rooms. I have to say that I loved the Lighthouse room. It has soft blues and whites that I found really soothing. My boyfriend really liked the Burkhaven Room. It is a smart looking room with a kind of colonial feel.
Rosemary and Hess are warm people you know they are immediately upon meeting them. They are very accommodating with assisting in lift tickets, dinner reservations etc. Before we arrived they asked us what kind of allergies we might have. Such a relief since I can’t eat pork and my boyfriend is allergic to nuts. The breakfast was always delicious.
The only con is that you have very limited restaurant selections directly in Sunapee. For dinner you really need to drive to New London or Newport. These towns are about 15 minutes away from the Twin Doors.
