Fodor's Expert Review Adair Country Inn and Restaurant

80 Guider La., New Hampshire, 03574, USA Fodor's Choice

An air of yesteryear refinement suffuses Adair, a three-story Georgian Revival home that attorney Frank Hogan built as a wedding present for his daughter in 1927—her hats adorn the place, as do books and old photos from the era. This is a refined, well-run country inn, with walking and snowshoeing paths that wind through 200 acres of gardens designed by Olmsted Brothers, and rooms furnished with period antiques and reproductions—many have fireplaces; a great basement lounge has a 1929 billiards table and a big flat-screen TV, which often shows movies from the inn's large collection. The exceptional restaurant is open to the public and serves well-crafted seasonal American fare.
