The Hancock Inn is the oldest continuously operating Inn in New Hampshire. When it began offering accommodations and meals to travelers in 1789, the Revolutionary War had been over for just six years and George Washington was in the first year of his presidency. The Hancock Inn remains true to its origins, offering the best in centuries-old traditions of hospitality, comfort, delicious food and romance, but with all of the modern conveniences of today. The Inn has high-speed internet and central air conditioning in each of its 14 unique rooms and suites. All are period appropriate, have a private bath and gently integrated modern conveniences. The Fox Tavern offers casual and fine dining and is served by a well-equipped, well maintained commercial kitchen ideal for a chef-owner -- with air conditioning and an excellent ventilation system. The restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating enjoys a fine local reputation and is open for dinner five nights a week to the public and the Inn's guests. A well-designed owners' quarters overlooks the back gardens. The total building area is approximately 11,000 square feet on over an acre in the center of the village. A full sprinkler system, a standby generator capable of running the inn and kitchen and an electric car charging system are just some of the operational systems supporting this well-cared for property.
