Just about a mile from Hanover, New Hampshire, the Inn is a popular haven for visitors to Dartmouth College. The Norwich Inn is a historic, full-service Vermont country inn located in Norwich, near Dartmouth College, just across the river from Hanover, New Hampshire. An Inn has been on the Main Street site since 1797; the current Victorian Structure since 1890. This Dartmouth hotel is proud to offer 38 guest rooms, a Pub & Dining Room known as Jasper Murdock’s Alehouse and a Microbrewery featuring hand-crafted English Ales, sold only on site. We are proud to offer one of the largest wine selections in Vermont, housed in our new Wine Cellar, which is also available for private parties. Local legend has it that the Inn and the Town were the inspiration behind the popular TV Show, “Newhart,” which was set in Norwich. Our hotel is just 1.5 miles from the center of the Dartmouth College Campus, our hotel is a popular haven for alumni, parents and other visitors to the college. Close proximity to I-91 allows for easy access to Norwich-based King Arthur Flour (1 mi), Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (3.5 mi), White River Junction (5 mi), Quechee with the Simon Pearce Glass Factory (13 mi) and Woodstock (19 mi).

🍁🎄 We may be fully in our Autumn Era right now, but believe it or not, the holidays are right around the corner!

While we’re busy soaking up all things fall in Vermont, now is the perfect time to start planning your holiday parties, Christmas celebrations, and private events at the Norwich Inn.

Whether it’s an office holiday party, a family gathering, or a festive dinner with friends, we’d love to help you celebrate the season.

🎄 Beautiful spaces for gatherings big and small

🍁 Right now, the fall foliage might be the number one reason to visit the Upper Valley, but there are SO many reasons to keep coming back!

Freshly baked treats at King Arthur Baking, a stroll around Dartmouth, exploring the Montshire Museum, a visit to Quechee or Woodstock, discovering the shops and restaurants in White River Junction, catching a show at Northern Stage, or simply stopping into Dan & Whit’s to see what they have that you didn’t know you needed. 😊

And of course, we think a stay at the Norwich Inn and a meal at Jasper Murdock’s Alehouse should be on your list too! 🍺

We love calling this little corner of Vermont home, and there’s always something new to discover, no matter the season.

So tell us, what’s YOUR favorite reason to visit the Upper Valley? We’d love to hear what keeps bringing you back! ❤️

🍁⛲ A little fall joy at the Norwich Inn!

The leaves are changing, the air is getting crisp, and our fountain is still flowing… for now!

Before those chilly Vermont nights get cold enough that we have to shut it down for the season, come enjoy one of our favorite little spots at the Inn.

Take a stroll through Norwich, soak in the fall colors, stop and enjoy the fountain, and maybe stick around for a bite to eat or a locally brewed b**r.

Sometimes the simplest things bring the most joy. 🍂❤️

🌧️☀️ Pouring rain and blue skies… all at the same time!

That’s fall in New England for ya! 🍁

One minute the sun is shining, the next it’s pouring, and somehow the fall colors look even better through it all.

Never a dull moment when Mother Nature is putting on her autumn show here in Norwich. 🍂

🍂 They say if you catch a falling leaf in autumn, you’ll have good luck for the next year…

Judging by the number of leaves coming down around Norwich right now, your odds are looking pretty good. 😂🍁

Fall has officially taken over the Upper Valley, and we’re soaking up every last bit of it while we can.

So get outside, enjoy the colors, and maybe try your luck at catching a leaf or two. We could all use a little extra good fortune for the year ahead!

🔥 You know what this means…

The Homecoming bonfire is going up on the Green, which means Dartmouth Homecoming Weekend is almost here! 💚

There are certain signs that fall has officially arrived in the Upper Valley, and this is definitely one of them.

The foliage is showing off, alumni are making their way back to Hanover, and another Dartmouth tradition is getting ready to light up the Green.

Welcome back, Dartmouth alumni! We’re looking forward to a great Homecoming weekend. 🔥🍁💚

🍁 Norwich was showing off a little this morning…

The colors are really starting to come alive around town, and every morning seems to bring a little more red, orange and gold.

If you’ve been waiting for that unmistakable Vermont fall feeling, it’s here.

Take the scenic route, grab a coffee, explore the back roads, stop for a local b**r, and just enjoy it. This time of year never lasts quite long enough. 🍂

Come see Norwich in all its fall glory!
