Inn Details
Rugby’s 1880s colonists enjoyed comfortable lodging at this charming, mansard-roofed boarding house, nestled among tall trees and the sounds of nature, just as visitors do today. Newbury has six bedrooms, four with private baths and two that share a large bath on the hall. The two-room Thomas Hughes Suite has queen and twin beds and working fireplace. The large guest parlor with ceiling fans and fireplace, the verandah, and pond-side hammock are great places for quiet relaxation. Newbury House is filled with interesting heritage and nature reading material. An assortment of DVDs is available for guest enjoyment, and a delicious full breakfast of your choice is just around the corner at our Harrow Road Café.
