Make your visit to New England memorable with a stay at the Martin Hill Inn, our Portsmouth, New Hampshire bed and breakfast. Located just a 10-minute walk into downtown Portsmouth's Market Square, the Inn is your home away from home while exploring over 380 years of New England history.

Located only an hour from Portland, Manchester, and Boston, Portsmouth is home to some of the seacoast's best local shops, theatre and musical attractions, historic homes, and finest restaurants. The friendly and helpful staff at our Portsmouth, NH bed and breakfast is always happy to suggest local attractions and make reservations at Portsmouth's best restaurants based on your unique tastes and interests.

During your visit, you will see why National Geographic Traveler Magazine ranked Portsmouth NH #6 on its list of Most Historic Places in the United States.

Inside our two early 19th century buildings, each of the Inn's individually decorated rooms features a luxurious queen or king bed, private en-suite bath, reading chairs, and antique desks, as well as modern conveniences such as complimentary Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs.

Our full breakfast is served at a large table in our dining room, offering everything from homemade muffins and scones, to savory omelets or gourmet pancakes. We happily prepare vegetarian, vegan, lactose, or gluten-free breakfasts by request.

On a warm summer afternoon, our cool shade gardens are the perfect place to discuss dinner plans or create a personalized itinerary, while savoring a glass of wine or refreshing lemonade. A hot coffee or fresh pot of loose leaf tea awaits your return to the Inn on a snowy afternoon.
