I can't be more effusive about my experience staying at The Great Island Inn.

The check-in process was seamless and straightforward, and when there were some natural hiccups (read: high tide causing flooding around Portsmouth) Abby, the General Manager, was proactively communicative: she called to give me a heads up and credited my Early Check-In fee when I wasn't able to reach the island at 1PM.

The facilities and amenities were top notch--I slept well, relished the hot water and shower pressure on the cold winter days, did my laundry, and enjoyed an extremely peaceful stay. I will definitely be back in the summertime or to visit Abby and Doug's other properties. I've already told a few friends about this place--though not too many since part of me wants to keep it as a secret treasure.

Wow, what a special place!! I felt like I'd been transported back in time, in the best way possible. The antique furniture was beautiful, the views were incredible, and the home slept 9 (including 5 children) easily. I feel so lucky to have been able to stay here and hope to be back soon!

It's so nice - and rare - when a place to stay exceeds your expectations. Ours were already high after reading the reviews, and we weren't disappointed. We stayed for several days with our dog in a King Studio Apartment which faced a quiet street near the water. The apartment was immaculate and had everything we could have asked for including a full kitchen, smart TV + cable, and a very comfortable king bed. The hosts made check in and check out easy, and we had dedicated parking. The location is very close to Portsmouth and made a great base for exploring the seacoast and southern Maine. Deserving of 5+ stars!

Our first visit to the NH coast and Great Island Inn provided a quiet setting that was close to the beaches and a 10 minute drive to Portsmouth. The large studio suites are stunning, exceptionally clean and fully equipped units with everything you need - just pack your clothes!

Photos are as advertised , the owners are professionals who anticipated all the extras you need in your private suite for a luxury experience from fast internet to beach towels to a washer/dryer with detergent - even a stocked mini bar!

This was the best place we have stayed at in a long time! The location was perfect, the attention to every detail was amazing. Washer/dryer, stocked fridge and kitchen, impeccably clean with top of the line towels, sheets and even a beach bag with sumptuous towels! The small coffee shop right next door was also so great!! We will be back!

We truly enjoyed our weekend stay in apartment #4. The apartment was well-outfitted, well-stocked with beverages and a cute LL Bean Tote, and very well-designed. The location is great as well and right next door to Islanders Cafe. It was easy to stay there with a toddler as well.

This is a wonderful place to stay! We recently had our second stay here (this time with our dog), and it was a very pleasant experience. So clean, cozy, and quiet with a great mini-bar and amenities like heated bathroom floors and kitchenette. It's a quick walk to the beach or a short 2-minute drive to the public ocean-front park with incredible views. Next door (seriously, it's a 10-second walk) is The Islander Cafe with great food and coffee. Portsmouth is a short 10-minute drive if you're wanting to go into town for shopping, exploring, and eating. If you're looking for quaint, coastal New England vibes - Great Island Inn is it.

This inn is a gem! Beautiful room with every amenity to make your stay comfortable. Wonderful peaceful location in a picturesque New England setting. Spacious parking in the back was very convenient . Short walk around the corner to a beautiful beach. The Islander Cafe located next door was very convenient with great food. Short drive to Portsmouth. We were extremely comfortable and happy with our two night stay. We will definitely return for a stay on our next trip to Portsmouth. Highly recommended!!

Great Island Inn is a superb combination of stylish design and welcoming hospitality located in a quaint and peaceful neighborhood within easy distance of Portsmouth. We found the accommodations spotlessly clean and nicely appointed with great looking furniture, quality linens and soaps. The little kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a meal for breakfast or a quiet supper. There is nothing "mini" about the mini bar!! We found the refrigerator very well-stocked with a good selection of drinks and snacks. We loved the view (Room 5) over the sweet neighborhood and the Piscataqua River. New Castle Island is a lovely location and Great Island Inn is a gem!

What an absolute treasure! This hotel exceeded our expectations: immaculate, new, elegant nautical aesthetic, had all the comforts of home, great location. We traveled as a family of three: two adults and our seven-year-old (who slept on the pull out twin and said it was comfortable). A few of the things that delighted us:
-- Pleasant, quick walk to a great beach at the end of Ocean (as recommended by Doug)
-- Ductless AC offered great climate control and no shared ventilation, plus a nice outdoor dining setup (this was key for us as we had upcoming travel and really wanted to limit our COVID risk)
-- Laundry in the unit was so helpful in minimizing our luggage
-- Excellent, consistent, helpful emails and resources from Doug
-- Close to fun dining and activities nearby: we liked the Isles of Shoals boat tour of Star Island and The Ice House (great sundaes)

Loved our stay at the Great Island Inn. Cozy rooms and adorable New England decor throughout the building and rooms. Short walk (just a couple minutes!) to the beach with views of two of the lighthouses, and a short drive from Portsmouth. Also not too far for day trips to the mountains in addition to the many activities in the area. The perfect quiet getaway :) The owner responds promptly to any questions or concerns, too. Definitely recommend and would stay again!

Hubby and I always stay here when we go north. Doug always makes us feel right at home. If anything is needed, it's taken care of. There is nothing you lack when you stay at the Great Island Inn. The area is wonderful! I can't say enough good for the Great Island Inn. This is just a gem! I can't wait to stay away next year.

What a wonderful stay! We stayed in one of the king studios on the main level, and it was just what we expected. The room was clean, well stocked, and had all the essentials for an enjoyable stay.

What we loved the most was being able to bring our pup. Typically, a dog friendly room is not an ideal setup. However, no sacrifices were made to ensure both humans and pups felt welcome! We really enjoyed the town of New Castle. Quiet roads lead to great walking and beach exploring for dogs.

We can’t wait to return!

What can I say except wonderful inn. Our studio room was perfect and well appointed. It was so comfortable! From the inn you can be in Portsmouth in a few minutes for shopping, dining and drinks. The beach is right around the corner.

We have found a home away from home here and will be back fore sure.

Exceptional rooms, quiet, clean and equipped with everything you will need for a get away. Perfect location to walk over to the beach and look over some light houses or to ride into Portsmouth for food and music. The stay has been one of the top and more memorable parts of our stay. Absolutely recommend this or the Rye and downtown locations operated by Doug.

Sara and I were absolutely charmed by this boutique apart-hotel. Everything about it: location, decor, functionality and charm far exceeded our expectations. As a matter of fact, I continue to wonder how they achieved both design and thoughtful detail to the maximum degree (sailors knot key fob and curtain rod ends!?!!) Bravo - we look forward to returning!

My husband and I wanted to relax and unplug, so we didn't want to stay in a big hotel with people coming and going -- Great Island Inn was perfect for us. In a large, lovely room with everything we needed (and more), we were able to plan our visits around the area, watch TV or do nothing but watch local life pass us by. The amenities were amazing, including a full kitchen, laundry and heated floors in the bathroom! Everything else we needed was close (within 10-15 minutes) and the owner's recommendations were spot-on. I hope to come back again soon, and highly recommend this to all who are looking for a home away from home!

Immaculate, beautifully designed and curated, and perfectly situated beside the new Islander Cafe in historic New Castle, NH. We loved our one-night stay, it's the perfect stopover in between Maine and points South, will definitely be staying again!

Such a great get away spot! The room was very clean and fully equipped with a fully functioning kitchen, full size Washer/Dryer, comfortable bed, and top of the line toiletries. We arrived very late and Doug was more than accommodating to our needs. We wish we could've stayed longer!!

What a magical find. I booked this spot fairly last minute as a mini getaway for our second anniversary and it was a total hit. The quick walk to the stunning beach and excellent accommodations made for a lovely night away. Can’t wait to book here again. (Even if we only live 25 minutes away!)
