Our room was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. We loved the window seat in the little nook between the bedroom and bathroom. The stairs up to our room were steep and difficult with a suitcase so be warned. The garden area was beautiful.

Amazing garden getaway - will be back

Best vacation spot we have ever been to. The Inn is private, quiet, well designed and cared for. The garden is glorious and was soothing to our city-weary brains. We will definitely be returning to Martin Hill Inn. Portsmouth has so much to offer for a relaxing getaway. I recommend staying at least 3 nights.

This is a very unusual place! It must have been a home at some point and has been changed to simply bedrooms. Our room was beautiful and well appointed. But there is no lobby, front desk, etc. You simply get a code to get into the building and into your room. It's a little strange but it was fun to try something different.
