Lovely stay and very convenient! Make note that several rooms are upstairs which requires going up a tight steep staircase. A little tricky for someone with bad knees and carrying a suitcase.

Adorable, centrally located place in Portsmouth. The doors are all key codes, so we got a text saying our room was ready before check in. Our code wasn’t working, so I called and they helped us out right away. Our room was adorable with a comfortable king sized bed. No fridge or anything in the room, but there was a communal fridge downstairs with juice and snacks available. The Sailmaker’s House was centrally located, so didn’t spend a lot of time in the room because we were walking all around Portsmouth. Very walkable!

I don’t want to give it a good review because I don’t want people to know about it, but it was just amazing. Great location (walking distance from downtown Portsmouth) in a historic district. Only drawback was that it was a little too warm at night (80 degree day in May) and the thermostat couldn’t go below 67. The room was divided into two separate areas and the cool couldn’t really make it to the bedroom portion. Nevertheless, amazing place and were definitely coming back.

Room was very cozy and the lounge areas were well stocked with teas, coffees and snacks. Especially nice to have local tea from White Heron.
Inn is very conveniently located. 5 min walk from Market Square and Prescott Park.
Second floor in front has very steep stairs so be aware if you're mobility limited.

Very clean. Lots of pillows! Beautiful old house with nice housekeepers. Close to everything so I did a lot of walking and let the car rest.

Very comfortable and well-located inn. Very much self-serve, as there is no staff on site most of the time. But the hotel manager is very responsive via text. Room and bathroom were very modern and clean. The hotel is close to everything in downtown Portsmouth. I’d stay there again!

The bed was so cozy and comfortable! Snacks and coffee were available in the lobby 24/7. Walkable to the downtown area. We loved The Sailmaker and will stay here if we visit Portsmouth again!

We loved staying here and will come again for sure. The location was great for walking into town for shopping and dining but also was right next to Strawberry Banke Museum andPrescott Park which are also wonderful places just to walk. Portsmouth is a lovely place.

This is a one-of-a-kind Pension style hotel. The room accommodations are excellent, especially given the 17th Century venue. Today's staffing challenges means no in-house staff, no all-guest amenities, and extensive use of Cell Phones for all transactions. Once you understand and accept that, the rest is easy. The property is within walking distance of a range of restaurants & night spots. There is nice boutique shopping within a few blocks. Other local attractions are within a few minutes by car. If your destination is Downtown Portsmouth, NH, this would be a fine choice.

Sailmaker’s House is in a perfect location near lots of great food, near Market St if you want that, but also easy to avoid the crowds and walkable to lots. Loved this location. Well decorated, comfortable common spaces. We will be back.
