Wakefield Inn

The Portsmouth Tea Companyhas over 80 varieties of tea at their cafe in Somersworth, NH.  Marshall Malone, the owner and founder, believes in offering the finest teas the world has to offer.  He has traveled the globe to bring back  only the best for a truly divine cup of tea. The Portsmouth Tea Company has black, green, herbal and so much more. 

We offer 12 varieties for our guests, and will gladly assist in making the perfect cup of tea to go with breakfast or for relaxing by the fire.  I love Avalanche Rooibos and Vitalize for the afternoon, and nothing gets me going like Irish Breakfast or Earl Grey La Creme in the morning.  We also have small tins in our gift shop for guests to take home and enjoy later, perhaps in a Wakefield Inn mug from Deneen Pottery.

Moat Mountain Brewing Company, a micro-brewery in New Hampshire has paired up with Garwood’s Restaurant in Wolfeboro for a Beer Tasting Dinner on Sunday, November 20 at 6:00pm.  The cost is $25 for a 5-course dinner, tax and service charge are not included.  The brewmaster, Will Gilson, will be on there to host the tasting.  This sounds like a fun evening.  My husband Jim and a friend went to Moat Mountain and really liked the beer selection, and enjoyed the quality of beer they are brewing. Call 569-7788 for more details.

To all those who love history, or seeing items from the victorian era, plan a trip to Willowbrook Village.  There is so much to see and do as you walk through over 30 small building filled with historic objects like tools, clothing, musical instruments, etc…  We went with my 3 girls ages 13, 11 and 5 and they all had a wonderful time on thir treasure hunt to find the stamps to put in the book they received at the ticket booth.  They each had a different theme with their own set of objects to find, so they all could enjoy the thrill of the search.

Willowbrook Village also has an antique, working carousel that is one of only two left in the world, and has been carefully restored to its original splendor.  Two times a day they run the carousel for visitors to see it in action, and once a month during the season visitors can take a ride. Wow, does it move fast!

Spend the entire day walking thorugh the village and feel as though you have been tranported back thorugh time. Grab lunch at the cafe or bring your own and enjoy a picnic under one of the big shady trees.  We will be going back many more times, and the Wakefield Inn is now a patron of Willowbrook Village.  Book a stay with us this year and get a free pass to Willowbrook Village.

Willowbrook needs visitors, and members, to keep this fun place to visit open for many years to come.  Become a member for $100 and you and your family can visit as many times as you like for the season.

Spring is upon us, and this weekend’s fabulous weather has people thinking outdoor activities.  The Province Lake Golf course located in Parsonsfeld, ME, which is 5 miles from the Wakefield Inn, has 18 holes, 14 of which have views of Province Lake.  They have a restaurant that offer a limited lunch menu, and they also offer dinner by reservations.
