Martin Hill Inn

Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Providing a special retreat to the seacoast of NH since 1978, the Inn features unique rooms with private baths. Walk 10 minutes to downtown Portsmouth's restaurants, boutiques & waterfront. A full gourmet breakfast & lovely gardens await you.

Bed and Breakfast Description

Portsmouth's first bed & breakfast has been welcoming guests from around the world since 1978. Our guests enjoy choosing from our seven unique rooms located in two 19th century houses with quiet, private gardens.

The Main House, circa 1815, contains three guestrooms furnished with period furniture including canopy or four poster beds. The Guest House, circa 1850, contains four rooms with canopy, spindle, or iron and brass beds, and is connected to the Main House by a short, flower-lined, brick path and patio with a lush water garden.

All rooms have queen size beds, writing tables and sofas or separate sitting areas for reading and relaxing. Each has a modern, private bath. Air conditioning ensures that each of our guests will enjoy a comfortable night's rest.

A full gourmet breakfast is served in our elegant dining room. Seasonal specialties may include baked apples followed by buttermilk pancakes with wild Maine blueberries served with sausage and pure maple syrup. Or, you may have fresh cantaloupe with lime paired with puffy baked omelets and fresh scones.

You will want to stay at least two nights so that you can enjoy a good amount of what Portsmouth and the southern Maine seacoast have to offer before packing those bags and moving on.

Area Attractions and Activities:

For history buffs, we recommend the Strawberry Banke Museum, numerous historic homes, forts and lighthouses. Cruise the harbor or take a whale watch. Art festivals, theater and cinema abound. Downtown has too many marvelous restaurants and unique shops, or visit the nearby outlet malls. The beaches beckon whenever the sun shines.

From Portsmouth, you can take a day trip to Boston, by car or bus. Visit the White Mountains that surround Lake Winnepasaukee located only 60 minutes away. Just across the river from Portsmouth is the gateway to the southern Maine seacoast, including the popular destinations of York, Ogunquit and Kennebunkport.

Services:

Dinner reservations, spa appointments, gift baskets & flowers arranged on request.
