    This place is just wonderful! It exceeded all my expectations in every single way. I believe this is the perfect place for every occasion. I stayed here during a weekend getaway with my husband and it satisfied all of our needs: we got delicious gourmet meals, our room was quiet, the service was stellar, they recommendations were excellent and the spa services were perfect! The atmosphere and location are very convenient. We even had the opportunity to meet the owner, Lynn, who is lovely and made our stay very pleasant. I will definitely go back!

    My daughter and I stayed at the Portsmouth Harbor Inn and Spa for 2 nights the last week in July 2011. Leslie is a delightful InnKeeper. She has perfected the breakfast meal. We preferred something simply and she was very happy to go out of her way to make a delightful, yet simply fresh and healthy breakfast. The rooms are very darling, the beds are very comfortable. It is very easy to walk around the small town where the Inn is located or walk across the bridge to the next state-Portsmouth, NH. Kittery,ME is beautiful during the summer.

    I intended to book a hotel room in Portsmouth for a quick getaway to celebrate my wife's birthday, but we couldn't have been more delighted that none were available. We literally "found" the Portsmouth Harbor Inn & Spa on very short notice. Lynn's attention to hospitality and detail is evident in every aspect of your stay, from complementary chocolates, sherry and port, to the comfortable and whimsical antiques in the rooms, to her well informed recommendations on teas and dinner out. My wife tells me her massage at the spa was soothing, and we can both attest to the delicious "family style" two course breakfast we shared with the Inn's other guests. The garden shows loving care and the neighborhood is quiet with a park, shops and satisfying restaurants all within easy walking distance.


    Great hospitality in a lovely lovely location

    Portsmouth Harbor Inn and Spa is a relaxing, welcoming Bed and Breakfast just a short walk from historic, scenic downtown Portsmouth, N.H. We enjoy returning each year for an extended weekend. The Inn is a beautiful, comfortable home with lovely gardens, in immaculate condition. The hosts have always provided a warm welcome, making us feel as though we are friends returning to visit. They are extremely knowledgeable about the area.


    Relaxing & Fun!

    This is a relaxing, lovely place which offers a unique experience because of the adjoining spa! We loved the Valora room - so comfortable, and quiet, and the breakfasts were delicious! The innkeeper gave spot-on restaurant recommendations and was very helpful with area activities and points-of-interest. The massages and facials at the spa were fabulous. An all-around excellent stay!
