Walkable, adorable stay
Adorable, centrally located place in Portsmouth. The doors are all key codes, so we got a text saying our room was ready before check in. Our code wasn’t working, so I called and they helped us out right away. Our room was adorable with a comfortable king sized bed. No fridge or anything in the room, but there was a communal fridge downstairs with juice and snacks available. The Sailmaker’s House was centrally located, so didn’t spend a lot of time in the room because we were walking all around Portsmouth. Very walkable!

Amazing place to stay near downtown Portsmouth
I don’t want to give it a good review because I don’t want people to know about it, but it was just amazing. Great location (walking distance from downtown Portsmouth) in a historic district. Only drawback was that it was a little too warm at night (80 degree day in May) and the thermostat couldn’t go below 67. The room was divided into two separate areas and the cool couldn’t really make it to the bedroom portion. Nevertheless, amazing place and were definitely coming back.

Room was very cozy and the lounge areas were well stocked with teas, coffees and snacks. Especially nice to have local tea from White Heron. Inn is very conveniently located. 5 min walk from Market Square and Prescott Park. Second floor in front has very steep stairs so be aware if you're mobility limited.

Very clean. Lots of pillows! Beautiful old house with nice housekeepers. Close to everything so I did a lot of walking and let the car rest.

Very comfortable and well-located inn. Very much self-serve, as there is no staff on site most of the time. But the hotel manager is very responsive via text. Room and bathroom were very modern and clean. The hotel is close to everything in downtown Portsmouth. I’d stay there again!
