Three months ago Charlie and Sue Lyle took the plunge, buying the 152-year-old Benjamin Prescott Inn, a handsome country mansion in the shadow of Mount Monadnock. Sue left a 17-year career in claims and litigation management for a variety of insurance companies. Charlie still has one foot in both worlds; a systems supervisor at a plant in Chelmsford, Mass., for 29 years, he said he's fed up with downsizing and outsourcing and looking forward to the time when he can join Sue full time at the inn. The Lyles had been innkeepers for only two weeks when we visited, and in some areas they were still feeling their way. But where it counts most -- a warm welcome and a genuine interest in making guests feel at home -- they were already pros. When we called from the road to say we were running late and wouldn't arrive until 10 p.m., Sue urged us to take our time and thanked us for calling. Candles in every window greeted us as we approached. ''Park your car on the grass," Charlie told my husband as we pulled in. ''Farmer Sawyer needs access to the barn." The inn abuts a working century-old dairy farm, a reminder we were in rural New Hampshire. Colonel Benjamin Prescott arrived in Jaffrey in 1775 and built a home across the street; part of the foundation is still visible. Prescott's sons built the inn, burning their names and ''1853" into a beam, and today every room is named for a Prescott family member. There's a good variety of accommodations. We stayed in Benjamin's
