Benjamin Prescott Inn

Frommer's Review

Col. Benjamin Prescott fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill before retiring to Jaffrey in 1775. This three-story home built by his sons dates to 1853 and is a handsome yellow Greek Revival farmhouse along an (often busy) road in a pastoral area 2 miles east of the village. Throughout this pleasant inn, you'll find a strong sense of history and a connection to the past. All guest rooms have ceiling fans and phone jacks (phones provided on request), and two suites have air-conditioning. The best room in the house? The Col. Prescott, bright and airy and featuring two comfortable armchairs and a writing desk. Guests can wander the farmlands beyond the inn or set off to hike Mount Monadnock, a short drive down the road.
