Old Field House

My husband and I stayed at the Old Field House recently for our second wedding anniversary. We had intended to stay one month prior around our actual anniversary, but when my husband came down with stomach flu the day before, we had to cancel our reservation. Linnea (one of the owners) was very accommodating and made it easy for us to reschedule not once but twice when we realized we couldn’t get a babysitter for our original rain date.
Once we finally got there, we were surprised by how perfect our king size jacuzzi suite was – spacious, clean and modern looking, with a skylight, and easy-​to-​operate gas fireplace and a huge bathroom with a jacuzzi that to my surprise actually did fit both of us comfortably. We loved how warm and friendly the owners were the next morning at breakfast – and the chocolate-​chip banana waffle was AMAZING.
This is a family-​run establishment, and you’re treated that way – that is, kindly and casually. We had to ring the pager a few times upon check-​in to get someone’s attention, but that’s only because they were hanging out with the kids in the rec room downstairs, and it was easy enough to track them down. They gladly supplied us with wine glasses and a corkscrew later that evening when we realized we’d forgotten them, and we enjoyed chatting over breakfast about our kids/​grandkids, who were just a few days apart in age.
The Old Field House is in a great location, on the resort loop with a bunch of other nice-​looking hotels and inns, and just down the road from the lovely little town of North Conway, where we did some shopping and enjoyed a wine tasting. We highly recommend this area for a fun family or couple’s weekend, and the Old Field House as a great, inexpensive place to stay.

We stayed here in the king jacuzzi suite this past weekend. Great little intimate room. Being over 6 feet tall the tub was a bit small for me but other than that the room was perfect.
The heated year round pool and hot tub were cozy. The buffet breakfast was perfect. The owner makes custom belgian waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage, cereal bagels and toast.
The owners truly love what they do and it shows. When we checked out we were given warm hugs like we were family.
I will stay here many more times in the future.

Wonderful. I am here by myself with my three kids and we feel right at home. Traveling with them is not easy and I try to choose carefully. I will definitely come back.
The innkeepers make it special. They are kind and have given us great ideas of things to do and their recommendations have been spot on.
The rooms are fine. They are dated (which is a plus) and clean. It feels more like a home than a business. There is a game room and plenty of toys and games. It’s a great place to reconnect with family. I feel like I’ve stepped back into my childhood. My kids love it.
The breakfast was great. There’s a very friendly atmosphere and I felt very comfortable.
The grounds have some trails, hammocks, jacuzzi and a pool. They also have plenty of sports equipment and a big green space to play.
I highly recommend this inn for the experience.

First time here this past weekend (02÷22÷13) and I will never stay anywhere else in North Conway :)
My boyfriend and I stayed here this past weekend. We got the Queen Jacuzzi/​Fireplace Suite, 11B. I wish we could have stayed for a week. It was one large, very clean, very pretty room with a nice fireplace and a queen sized bed. TV of course, DVD player and a small refrigerator that came in handy for drinks (and leftover pizza lol). The bed was not very comfortable, as the mattress needs to be replaced. Other than that I have not one single complaint.
The suite was private, no one above us or below us, and not like a hotel with people walking up and down the hallway. It was a townhouse, so we had immediate access to the outside, and we lucked out that it snowed most of the weekend, I kept going outside to look at the pretty snow, take pictures and marvel at just how QUIET it was.
The bathroom is very large, I wish I had this at home! LOL Again really clean, double sinks, plenty of room for both of us to get ready at the same time. Toilet & shower are in a small room off the bathroom with a separate door for privacy.
Linea and Rod — the innkeepers — so gracious and friendly. Breakfast was included in our rate, we went up to the main inn for that and it was way better than I expected. Scrambled eggs, sausage, oatmeal, lots of fancy breads for toasting, blueberry & coffee cake, fruit, juices and coffee… and Rod makes Belgium waffles to order. Everything was fresh and yummy and very much appreciated!
There is quite a selection of DVD’s in the main inn that you can take back to your room. Lots of nice areas for sitting and relaxing.
Just overall such a wonderful place run by wonderful people that I cannot wait to return. Thank you Linea and Rod for a wonderful, very much needed quiet weekend in the mountains :)

Great place to stay. Off the main road and quiet. Breakfast with fresh blueberry waffles. I highly recommend this B&B. Rate is very fair.

My husband and I visit the Conway area 3 – 4 times a year and the Old Field House has been our go to place for years now. We always stay in one of the fireplace jacuzzi suites at The Farm behind the main inn building. I can’t speak for the rooms in the main inn.
The Field House is centrally located to all the attractions in the Mount Washington Valley. Since it is on route 16a in Intervale, you don’t have to deal with the North Conway traffic every time you leave. This is a huge bonus, especially during peak times of the year.
If you are looking for a slick, contemporary place, this isn’t the place for you. If you are looking for a warm, inviting New England inn with unmatched hospitality, you’ve found the right place. While the rooms aren’t modern, they are clean and well-​kept. The owners spend time each Spring making small updates to the rooms as necessary. My husband and I stay in the same suite each time and have noticed a new carpet one year, the bathroom repaired the next, new mattress another visit, you get the idea. I think the past visit the mini fridge had been replaced with a new one.
Rod and Linea will bend over backwards to make you feel welcome. You want restaurant suggestions? They’ve got them and will make a reservation for you if necessary. Are you going up the Mt. Washington Auto Road? Linea has discount coupons for you. Looking for sneakers at the outlets? Linea will tell you who has the best deals that week. Getting stuck in traffic? They can tell you the shortcuts. If you need something and they don’t have it or if the aren’t sure about something, they will point you in the right direction to get what you need. I’ve heard guests ask about dry cleaners, tire stores, etc. before and they always have a quick answer.
The main inn is a very short walk from the suite where we stay. Breakfast is served every morning and is included with most rooms. We are not talking instant coffee and Hostess donuts here. You get a buffet that includes cereal, scrambled eggs, sausage, oatmeal, bagels, and pastries and bread from a local bakery. If that’s not enough, Rod makes Belgium waffles to order. Not just plain either, he also makes banana, chocolate chip and blueberry!
The main inn has a few common areas including a game room and a TV room where they show movies for the kids every night. There is also a year-​round heated pool and hot tub.
If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing place to stay, I can’t recommend the Old Field House enough.

The BEST! All of the above reviews are true about great breakfast, sweet sweet dog, etc. Linea and Rod have become friends and have watched our children grow up every year. The youngest has been coming since she was 6 weeks old. They are always accomodating – when we come in late, the kids are fussy, different movie suggestions, extra snacks, etc.
The assisting staff are the best too.
We would not go anywhere else for any event in the White Mountains. It’s nice that they are so close to StoryLand, Mount Washington, Kangamungus (sp?) pass, etc. Great fun in the fall-​foliage and the pumpkin people festvial – Linea always tops her previous year with her special pumpkin people.
Really a treat!

I’ve seen my share of good and bad hospitality… and I would have to put this place on the top end of the chart. (Bottom of the chart would be most places in Quebec City. As far as not bending over backwards for the Non-​French speaking Americans and/​or tourists goes).
Owners/​Front Desk seem (s) to always be on hand and can provide any resources needed for the area (including restaurant reservations and «only known to locals» traffic-​free short cuts). Their courtesy and helpfulness is no less than sincere.
Rooms are fairly sized, priced, functional and clean. Mattresses are on the very firm side. There’s a compact fridge and DVD player in each room. Lots of DVDs to choose from in the hallway, also.
There’s a quite friendly and calm Alaskan Malamute named Teddy that’s usually nearby and willing to accept everyone’s pats on the head.
There’s an ice machine, washer/​dryer, game room, den area and soda machine downstairs from the lobby.
The breakfast is more than a continental one. The made to order «New Hampshire» waffles are key. Don’t pass them up. There’s also hard boiled eggs, sausages, OJ, decaf and more provided.
I would definately stay here again, in any season, if they’d have me.
Head’s up though, your GPS will offer little help with the last couple of turns so pay heed to their website’s written directions.

The Old Field House is the classic New England Inn. Nestled in the White Mountains, this family-​owned business is a good choice for a vacation. The Inn is close to Mount Cranmore and Attitash if you’re a skier, and has a beautiful cross-​country ski/​snowshoe trail right on the property.
Owners Linea and Rod Hopwood are personable, and make every effort to make your stay enjoyable. They cook fresh Belgian waffles in their beautiful little dining room every morning, allow guests to borrow DVDs from a library behind the desk free of charge, and they even have a few pairs of snowshoes you can borrow for the afternoon.
The room I stayed in was sufficient. It was clean and bright. But the bed was kind of uncomfortable, there were not enough blankets, and the pillows weren’t the fluffiest. Other than those little things, though, this place is great. The family Malamute, Teddy Bear, is a constant fixture at the Inn, and she loves a good scratch behind the ears as you pass her by.
All in all, this place is like a home away from home, and I’m looking forward to making my stay there a yearly tradition.
