About Our Directions: These directions have been used for many years, and our guests generally arrive without mishap. Some of our guests have had difficulty with directions generated by map Web sites, which make additional turns and sometimes lead drivers (unnecessarily) through the center of Portsmouth, particularly when approaching from Maine. Use your own judgment, but be sure to bring our directions with you in any case.

To Our Parking Lot: Proceed 50 feet past the inn and turn right on Union Street. Continue 250 feet down Union (about 3 houses). A driveway on the right, just after #32 Union Street and before the three-car garage, provides access from the street to the lot. If you reach the stop sign, back up one building. Our parking lot is behind the three-car garage. Two lampposts on the far side of the parking lot are visible from Union Street. Follow the pathway through the gardens to the Inn entrance.
