We loved the Inn. It was all I hoped it would be. The Inn has a very homey feel to it. Being to walk downtown and to the waterfront was a plus. The breakfast was also very good. I was amazed to find out that Bob and I had a mutual aquaintance, His cousin, which I went to school with... More

This review is based on a stay by my friend and myself at The Governor's House for one night for a romantic weekend away. We enjoyed the very comfortable accommodations. The common areas and our room were very tasteful decorated and in excellent condition. We appreciated several small touches, like complimentary miniature bottles of wine and snacks in our room,...

I have just returned from two nights in the third floor "Maid's Quarters" at The Governor's House. The room was quiet and cozy! The queen bed was deliciously comfortable. The flat screen T.V.and Bose radio were a plus! Bob also had cold drinks in the fridge for us and a small bottle of wine,nuts and chocolates! Breakfast was average: granola,hard... More

The Gov's House is the perfect place for a relaxing weekend in Portsmouth. Bit pricier than other B&B's in the area, but I doubt that any can compare in terms of the comfort, location, and general quality of the Governor's House. Very conveniently located within a short walk to the center of Portsmouth, the house itself is beautiful and exceedingly... More

My wife and I just returned from a wonderful weekend getaway at the Governor's House in Portsmouth. We have stayed in many, many B&B's over the years and my wife commented that this was among the best, if not the best, in which we have stayed. The house had such nice homey feel and had small touches, like a fire... More

I have stayed in a number of Bed and Breakfasts, in New Hampshire and elsewhere. The Governor's House is the best in the area, by far, and amongst the best anywhere. I highly recommend it. I especially appreciated the library full of books, magazines and DVDs to watch in the room. A truly relaxing weekend. More

As a Seacoast native turned NYC resident, it has been difficult over the years to find a great place to stay when visiting family during the holidays or for other occasions. But no more. The Governor's House so exceeded our expectations for quality, service and charm that we were ready to move in! We found our room stocked with Frette... More

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... More

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... More
