Comfy spot!

Cute little spot that is just across the bridge from the fun part of Portsmouth. Unfortunately the weather wasn't nice for us, but if it was, you could certainly walk there. The room was well designed and my wife really appreciated how comfy the bed was.

This is the cutest inn we've ever visited! I must commend the owner for being very informative, and all the necessities are readily available. This place truly feels like a beautiful home. It was a bit uncomfortable at first due to the self-check-in process, and we had some trouble locating the heater. However, overall, it was a perfect stay!

Enjoyed our stay. Room was clean, tidy and quiet. Bathroom fan was quite noisy when used. Wasn't expecting a room at the top floor but not a problem. Did not see the staff (hence the average rating) but all amenities were available. May be back at a future date and try a different room.

Charming Inn on the seacoast

We love this inn. It is perfectly situated minutes away from all the great restaurants in Kittery and a short walk from downtown Portsmouth. We have stayed here twice and each time our room has been lovely; cozy, clean and full of charm. The lobby area is always stocked with snacks, coffee/tea and juices. It is a very special place and we will definitely return. The perfect spot for a relaxing mini vacation on the seacoast.
