We arrived on Wednesday, December 28, 2011 and were greeted by Bob Chafee proprietor. Bob welcomed us into his beautifully decorated historic home. We stayed in the Captain's room, luxuriously laden with amenties including wine and chocolates. Bob and his wife Barbara prepared a delicious continental breakfast each morning of our stay. It was the perfect getaway! We strongly recommend this Inn to anyone planning a trip to Portsmouth.

We loved your Inn and it met the expectations for my wife and I completely. We consider ourselves "hotel people" but wanted to make this weekend special. We left our vacation with you envious of your location and the how much you enjoy what you do.
It was a pleasure meeting you both and we appreciated the privacy and all the suggestions you had for some great places to go in Portsmouth. I doubt we would have found on our own.
The Inn is well decorated and cared for and no detail was missed in making us feel comfortable.
We would stay here again over any other place we found in the area.

The Governor's House has become like that favorite dish you just have to order every time because even though you believe in the concept of variety, you know you'll be disappointed if you have everything else. So it was earlier this week when my wife and I stayed in the Governor's House. The house itself epitomizes New England charm, and it's located within walking distance of town, it has basically every academy award winning movie ever made, and the innkeeper, Bob, is about as warm as they come.

I can not say enough good things about our stay at the Governor's House. It is meticulously claen with a lot of attention to detail. The fresh flowers,chocolates,nuts ,wine, chocolate chip cookies,mini fridge in the room and friendly atmosphere made this a home away from home.We would definitely return
