    How great to stay a short stroll from the center of downtown Portsmouth in the most beautiful and inviting B&B we've ever enjoyed. The rooms are charming, the library, living room and porch are wonderful spots to relax as well, and the hospitality extras make the whole experience memorable.

    Best place in the country!
