The Sailmaker's House

Looked for a place for a romantic anniversary trip - the staff was so accommodating for the decor I wanted to set up in advance. They were so friendly, and the whole first floor lobby area was so homey and nice. Great snacks and coffee too! Rooms were very reasonable for rates. It was very easy to pick exactly which one I wanted from the site, the perfect one that fit my needs and vibes. Such a central location, too - despite the snow the previous day we were able to walk around to dinner and breakfast easily. The keycode entry into rooms was also very nice, no need for a formal key. Highly recommend!

From the ease of check in to the well appointed rooms and cute lobby with coffee and snacks, we had a superbly comfortable stay and would highly recommend the Sailmaker! The convenience of walkability to every sight, especially the Strawberry Banke which is right next door, without being in too bustling a location was priceless since I’m a light sleeper. So nice and quiet at night! Everything was spotless and the bed wasn’t too soft—we wish we could stay longer.

Positive: Very clean with an amazing location. Negative: ""

This place was a stepping stone as a flew into Portsmouth and was leaving the next day. Everything about the room was perfect. The bed and linens could not have been more comfortable. There was information on what to do in town that evening. There was coffee/tea available in the common area. My dinner accomodations were an easy walk even in the middle of a snow storm. Loved this spot and would absolutely stay here again.

Very nice hotel. Definitely best suited for adults kids would ruin it as the walls are thin being an old historical home. Gets expensive on the weekends but no more so than the rest of Portsmouth. It is very clean and home like. They have coffee in the foyer and some snacks. Parking is good and it is in an excellent location in relation to the happenings of town. They have a sister hotel in Kittery, ME. The woman who run is are a class act. I would highly recommend it for solo travelers or couples looking for a nice safe place to spend the night. Book on-line or over the phone, there is no concierge.
