Directions

Once you get closer to where the GPS says your destination is- keep an eye out for a big yellow barn surrounded by a white fence. On both sides of that barn are driveways, you'll want to take the one on the right (if you're facing the barn from the road), it's a paved driveway with the white fence on either side of it, as well as a black mailbox on a granite post at the end of it. You'll pull into that driveway and follow it until you reach the gravel parking lot on the left next to the yellow barn. Pull right into the barnyard and look for the brown barn with big red doors- park anywhere!

"On the banks of the Sugar River, discover the charm and uncommon hospitality of The Common Man Inn & Restaurant in Claremont, New Hampshire. Frames along the wooden panels share secrets of the building’s golden years, while its thoughtful modern design wraps around and throughout the Inn’s 30 unique rooms and suites.

Drawing on its heritage as a textile mill, the Inn features unexpected design touches that pay homage to its adored past: salvaged front doors, rustic light fixtures, and inverted trusses engineered to accommodate the massive weaving machines that once filled the mill. The Inn combines modern amenities with nods to its architectural and historic origins. And delicious American cuisine and classic comfort food is just steps away at the adjacent Common Man Restaurant."
