History
Come enjoy a re-energizing hiatus in colonial New England.
Construction on the Bellows Walpole Inn was started in 1752 as the original homestead of Colonel Benjamin Bellows. He was one of the founders of Walpole and a colorful, persuasive character in the early development of this artistic and beautiful region.
The historic Bellows Walpole Inn, a 14,000-square foot mansion set in the beautiful hills of the Connecticut River Valley, has been lovingly restored and subtly updated to incorporate modern comfort and convenience. The result is a luxurious vacation destination with the warmth and coziness of ambient heating, the convenience of blazing fast Wi-Fi Internet set in the opulence of individually designed rooms, all with gorgeous views of the surrounding grounds and famous New Hampshire countryside.
There are nearby attractions for all interests and seasons with a special emphasis on outdoor enthusiasts, epicures, and history buffs. And the hills around Walpole are unsurpassed for their glorious fall foliage. Walpole is well-known for its hiking, biking, and snowmobiling, and is within an hour’s drive of three superb ski areas.
Burdick’s Chocolates flagship store and restaurant is just down the road, on the square, across from the historical society museum and gift store. The Walpole Grocery is renowned for its deli and selection of local cheeses, wines, and meats.
The town of Walpole is at the center of the farm to table movement with delicious and nutrient-rich foods fresh from local farms and dairies.
