Holderness is a small town, but it's home to several well-known schools that bring families, students, and visitors to the area throughout the year. Whether you're touring campuses, attending events, or visiting a student, the area offers a relaxed and scenic place to stay.

Holderness School is located just outside the village center on a beautiful hilltop campus and is a private boarding and day school known for strong academics, athletics, and a close-knit community. A short drive away is New Hampton School, another respected boarding and day school offering a supportive, college-prep environment in a rural setting. Nearby in Plymouth is Plymouth State University, a full-service university that adds a lively college-town feel with campus events, dining, and cultural activities.

The Inn on Golden Pond is an ideal place to stay when visiting any of these nearby schools, offering a peaceful retreat that's conveniently located for campus visits while still providing a comfortable and relaxing getaway.
