Even though it is getting cold out there, you can always find a warm spot in Stonehurst Manor’s Library Lounge! The snow may be beautiful, but sometimes it is nice just to relax by the fireplace with a cocktail and light appetizers. It opens nightly at 5:00 pm for all to enjoy as a nightcap or a way to start or finish your dinner with us at the Manor! Play it safe and book a room as well because the Stonehurst Manor offers the best bar atmosphere and lounge in North Conway making it difficult not to indulge! We’re sophisticated, but welcoming allowing anyone to enjoy themselves! Once you sit down in our comfortable chairs by a roaring fire, you won’t want to leave! Our pictures don’t do our lounge justice, but you can see for yourself that no comfort is spared for your enjoyment!

Our lounge is gorgeous, surrounding you with dark wood, lace curtains and stained glass windows. With the oversize fireplace that is always glowing, you can look out the window to a beautiful snowfall or curl up with a great book. And we are renowned for our holiday decorations. They are worth stopping by for a special look just by themselves! But even if the decorations are what enticed you in, you can always stay for a drink!

Michael, our talented and creative beverage manager is shaking and stirring classic martinis, pouring ports, cognacs and premium scotches as well as whipping up seasonal holiday drinks! Peruse our beverage menu for your personal favorite drink and stop by and enjoy. Our lounge is perfect for one on one time or bringing a group of your closest loved ones. We love providing elegant yet comfortable atmosphere!

And after you have hit the slopes, the Stonehurst Manor has everything you could ask for when it comes to North Conway ski lodging!
Everything is so beautiful when the snowfalls. With fresh powder on the trails there is no limit to what you can do! Mt. Washington Valley has some of the best trails to ski and snowboard on, but that doesn’t mean you can’t try other things as well!
