Very professional owner with outstanding breakfast. Rooms were a little small but expected for a B&B. In summertime, there is no indoor common area for sitting.. and no TVs if you want to watch the news. Never had a paper available either. There is a gorgeous outdoor sitting area if the weather is nice. more

My husband and I spent one night at the Martin Hill Inn. Our room, The Seawitch, was lovely and very comfortable. As a matter of fact, the entire inn was beautifully appointed and very clean and welcoming. In the late afternoon tea (a wonderful variety of loose tea) and cookies are available to be enjoyed in the common rooms or... more

We stayed just one night at the Martin Hill Inn on our way up the coast to Maine. We were welcomed by Margot with tea and cookies in a fairly formal dining room and then shown our room, which was tastefully decorated and very clean. The Inn is a short walk to pretty Portsmouth Town Centre where there are plenty... more

The breakfasts are delicious at Martin Hill Inn. One morning we had a delicious baked apple, baked egg and ham omelette, juice, and coffee. The next morning we had fresh cantaloupe, apple with cinnamon pancakes, juice, and coffee. The only complaint about our room--the bed was very uncomfortable and rolled to the center. The stairs are super narrow and steep,... more

I don't know what the reviewer was talking about with "rented room" because this is exactly like every B & B I've stayed in, well actually better. My Fiance and I had flown into Boston on SkyBus to visit friends in Boston and decided to stay in Portsmouth for the day before we left and we are SO glad we... more

We loved this place. Margot was a gracious host; pleasant and accomodating. Room was clean and cozy. Breakfast was tasty and the conversation with other guests and Margot was very enjoyable. We arrived late one cold evening in hopes of finding a room and we really lucked out. Not right in town but if your up for some good exercise... more

We did not enjoy our B&B experience at Martin Hill. The room we stayed in was quite outdated and the bed was incredibly uncomfortable. We could not control the heat in our room. It was both hot and noisy. We were amazed by the lack of reading material in the communal "living room" as well as it's inhospitable feel. We... more

The room prices were priced higher than most other B&B's so we expected a warm comfortable atmosphere. We got fooled, there are no common rooms, no library, sitting areas, nothing. You are relegated to your own room after you finish breakfast. You can sit in the nice gardens when the weather cooperates but it's nice to have some gathering points... more

This is a great place to stay - close to downtown and restaurants. Yes, there is some traffic noise but it quieted down by 11 pm and was no problem. We stayed in the green room in the annex. It has a sitting/dressing room which allows you to spread out a bit. The room and entire inn was nicely furnished... more
