We spent a long weekend in Portsmouth and stayed at the Great Island Inn. The Inn was very, very nice - clean, nicely furnished and appointed. Check-in/out was a breeze. The location was fantastic, a short drive to downtown and an easy walk to the ocean. We definitely enjoyed our stay and would return to The Great Island Inn without hesitation.
What a charming , and beautiful town. The room itself was very clean and beautifully decorated. We felt so safe walking the streets down to the water. Located close to a lot of food places just a short drive away. High recommend this place!
Comfortable, thoughtfully outfitted suite in a quiet, idyllic hidden gem community
The Great Island Inn is an awesome find for pet-loving travelers looking for a quiet getaway in a historic setting off the beaten path. The historic inn is beautifully updated with modern decor and appliances, comfy furniture and electronic conveniences. If you donât want to bring in your own groceries (nearest grocer is 10-min drive), the unit was well stocked with necessities for a service fee. Thereâs a wonderful cafe next door that serves breakfast & lunch. Downtown Portsmouth is 10 mins away if you opt to leave the quiet solitude of the island. Easy parking, check in & check out. While in the area, we looked at other properties in the same portfolio in Rye (Rye Motor Inn) and downtown Portsmouth. Theyâre equally charming and also pet-friendly, but the Great Inn on New Castle is the real gem among gems in that group. We loved it and hope to spend time there again next year.
I own and operate several apart-hotels on NH's Seacoast: the Great Island Inn in New Castle, The Inn Downtown in Portsmouth, and The Rye Motor Inn in Rye.
