We stayed at The Sailmaker’s House for 1 night while in town for our son’s college orientation at UNH. We wanted to stay somewhere that was within walking distance to everything Portsmouth has to offer and this fit the bill. The building is beautiful and the rooms are comfortable, updated and very clean. A small group of older people were also staying there and had some pre-dinner wine together in the lovely sitting room near the lobby. We enjoyed our stay very much.

The location was absolutely perfect! Located in the heart of downtown Portsmouth, the restaurants, shops and attractions were within easy walking distance. The room was spacious, clean and included all the modern amenities despite the old world rustic charm of the building. I really appreciated the fully stocked beverage bar downstairs for my late night cup of tea and early morning coffee. The host was responsive and helpful with all my questions and special needs. I will definitely be returning for my next visit!

Great place. We were in room 8 which was a big, one bedroom. The place was very clean and they have a great drink and snack bar in this unique hotel. The room was huge and has a great balcony off the bed room. We were there in February so it was really quiet. Lots of great restaurants blocks away. Highly recommend this place.

Loved this hotel! Location: Super close to everything, yet far enough away to feel peaceful. Parking: Private lot outside the door! Room: PERFECTION. Loved the decor, super comfy bed, modern and clean bathroom. Extras: Snacks and beverages throughout the day in the lobby. Loved the soaps and hair products.
