Mount Washington Valley, home to the highest peak in the north east USA, is New Hampshire’s adventure playground. Hikers flock to its forest trails in summer, while in fall, its forests are decorated with world-famous golden foliage and skiers love the winter slopes. Explore Mount Washington from one of these top hotels – be it a ski resort, family-run B&B or historic inn.

Top Notch Inn, set in the downtown area of Gorham, is one of the closest hotels to Mount Washington. The mountains lie tantalisingly close and are visible from the inn’s heated pool and steaming hot tub. When you’re not exploring the peaks, enjoy a BBQ in the gardens or star-gaze around the firepit. As well as a range of chic guest rooms, the inn hosts two self-contained vacation properties that sleep up to 10 guests, including the Pinkham, a 100-year-old farmhouse.

New England style reigns supreme at Glen House, with its wooden clapboards, chimneys and Shaker-inspired guest rooms. This 1850s Gorham farmhouse was originally converted into a hotel to accommodate passengers on the Grand Trunk Railway – but has been given a full makeover. In fact, the property is now nearly carbon neutral thanks to a geothermal heat system and hydro generator. Half of the rooms have mountain-facing balconies and there’s even a heated saltwater pool.

7. The Bernerhof Inn
