The last time we ate there, in August, I had a lamb shank dinner, and my wife had their venison dinner, all for $22. That is hard to beat and, when you consider the quality of the food and the service, is a must-not-miss dining experience.

We always make reservations, because the evening is quite popular (as you can imagine). However, if you do not mind eating before 6:30pm, you should have no trouble getting a table.

I have often considered ordering something different than lamb, but after thinking about Stonehurst Manor for 12 months, that full lamb shank dinner is too good to resist. My wife had her ostrich meal depart the menu this year, and she successfully switched to the venison steak.

Plan to arrive early, as you will want to look at the manor grounds, enjoy the view of the White Mountains, and soak up the ambiance.

The Stonehurst Manor is just north of North Conway, on the right-hand side of Highway 16, heading north out of town. This one is easy to recommend!

In the dining room, the service and food preparation was elegant.

They ran a Thursday night wine and roses special. You could order most things on the menu for $22 per couple. I chose the Lamb Shank, which was served with garlic potatoes and fresh vegetables. Food was presented well and the flavors matched the presentation.

My wife had the pork tenderloin. It was served with potatoes and fresh vegetables. I would recommend this dining experience to anyone who enjoys good food in a lovely surrounding.
