GREAT ISLAND INN - A Modern Boutique Hotel0

What a find! Head and shoulders above most cookie cutter hotels and inns. A real Gem. Excellent location, close enough to everything you’ll want to see and far enough away from it all when you want some quiet time. I was looking for somewhere different to stay whilst visiting my Son at UNH. I usually stay in downtown Portsmouth and felt like a change.I had my dog and Bicycle with me on this trip and there was ample room for both. The location was great for exploring the coastline and surrounding towns by bike and my dog was in heaven as we were 2 minutes from the beach.

Fees could be made clearer. Partly a booking.com issue I believe. There is a $50 per night pet fee and parking fee of $30\night plus taxes. This added $80\night plus tax to my bill which was an unexpected and unpleasant surprise and may affect whether I stay again. The Management responded very quickly and courteously and broke down the charges for me within minutes of my questioning them.

I've been traveling for a very long time, staying in a lot of hotels. But I have never stayed in such a comfortable studio, location, environment. It was our first time to Portshmouth. Really perfect place! I liked it very much with its delicious food, restaurants with magnificent landscapes and colorful boutiques. We came back to the city relaxed and recharge. I really respect that this kind of work is done with such hard work and kind. So thank you Mr Dunn and his team. We went during the Christmas period, but I also want to see on the summer what it's like. We definitely will come again!

What breakfast? Location was excellent

The place was very clean, but the chair fabric had residual dog hair from the previous tenant. The room was great but the 3 flights of stairs were a challenge for my wife he is handicapped. Also the bathroom tub lacked had only one grab bar. I don't blame the owner but do find it curious that it doesn't meet ADA standards having been refurbished. I think when Booking .com posts it they should note that access to some of the rooms may not be suitable for the mobility challenged.

We stayed during a winter storm, but even with the season we could appreciate the attention to detail the owners have put into this property. The property is beautifully appointed and in a lovely location. When staying you are in a cove with water in very close proximity. Our studio was clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. We had everything we needed, and travelers needs are anticipated by the host. We really appreciated the washer and dryer as we hadn’t anticipated an extended stay. Looking forward to a stay in warmer weather where we can enjoy the grounds and beautiful surroundings. I love to see historical buildings revitalized, so kudos to the owners on their restoration of this property! We also very much appreciated that they had clear rules about silent times and being respectful of other sojourners.

This was a wonderful place to stay. The room was spacious, comfortable, welcoming, and stylish. The furnishings were beautiful and charming, the bed was extremely comfortable, the bath was luxurious, and the kitchen had thoughtfully-chosen supplies. There were additional touches--like a high-quality white noise machine by the bed, lovely art and fixtures, cute teakettle, and energy-efficient washer-dryer--that really elevated the room from nice to spectacular. There were extras we didn't use but appreciated, like well-stocked and reasonably-priced drinks and snacks, a patio with grill, and beach towels in a tote, ready for guests to use. Self check-in and check-out were easy and straight-forward, and parking in the lot convenient and safe. The host Doug went out of his way to make sure we had a positive experience. We loved this place and would definitely stay there again.

Absolutely loved this adorable home! my room was decorated so tastefully and the attention to detail was amazing! Plenty of snacks and beverages were on hand for purchase. I felt like I was in a five star hotel! It was very quiet and in a beautiful little neighborhood right by the water and lighthouse. I highly recommend a stay here!

I love everything about Great Island Inn. The room is beautifully decorated and has everything you need - fully equipped kitchen included. I love the location - New Castle is quaint and so well preserved and a beautiful location on the bay, you can walk to the waterfront / beach from the Inn. And Portsmouth is a 5 minute drive, and a wonderful place to walk around and lots of restaurants. Beautiful historic architecture. And lots of hiking areas nearby.

only one super minor thing I didn't like - the rug in the living room area made me a little dizzy .. 😏. but that's a nit.

Beautiful location with 3 min walk to the beach - perfect New England winter "beach" day. Easy no personal contact checkin, excellent frequent communication from property manager. Nicely appointed king suite on first floor with on site parking.

We only stayed 1 day day! Would love to have spent a week - unfortunately time was not on our side. Maybe next year.

The room was really lovely - great taste in decoration and overall feel of the room was premium. Fully stacked refrigerator (Snacks and drinks) which was really great.

The price was quite high for my stay - maybe I was in some kind of high season but I ended up paying $ 600.- per night. However I chose to stay here so it didnt have to do anything with the location.

I’d rather stay here that a large chain.

I really wish they kept more of the woodwork, floors, windows (they can be restored and often cost less and last another 100 years) & historic features. I hate it when an old house is gutted like this
