The Ale House Inn exceded our expectations. We were on a multi stop trip and ended in Portsmouth for a little getaway. Our previous stay was a large suite but nothing was very endearing about the place. Walking into the Ale House Inn was a serious upgrade from the last place. The second floor entrance to the actual Inn area was a place you want to sit and relax, with cold brew and water on tap and a lovely little sitting area. Our room was small but cozy, perfectly appointed, spotless, comfortable and we loved it. We’ll be coming back to Portsmouth because it’s such a wonderful place and there is no doubt we’ll be going back to the Ale House Inn!
