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!

Felt like home with nice chairs on front porch, and coffee , water, fridge accessible. Although there were other guests, we felt like we were the only ones there (quiet). Also, just a beautiful property and walkable to Portsmouth for the Halloween parade. Loved our 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.

Husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We loved the closeness to be able t walk into Portsmouth and sitting in the front porch with our coffee. It did seem a little strange to never see or meet the owner, but I’m sure if we needed something they were just a phone call away. We will definitely be back.

Stayed in one of the attic rooms and would recommend but not to very tall people as the sloped wall can get in the way. Overall fantastic stay, staff were helpful and free tea/coffee and snacks were very handy. Parking is easy and very walkable into Portsmouth, 15ish minutes across the bridge. Would recommend and stay again.
