Smoking and vaping of any kind is strictly prohibited inside guest rooms and common areas both by The Sailmaker's House and the State of New Hampshire Law. Please abstain from lighting candles as any smoke may trigger the fire alarm system.

Quiet, please!
Due to the age and historical nature of our building, sound can travel. We ask that all guests are quiet and mindful that they are sharing the house with others. Our independent inn is also located within one of Portsmouth’s residential and historical neighborhoods. Sound traveling beyond the property is prohibited!

If a pet is in your possession and/or in your room without the consent from a member of our staff, there is a $250 mandatory cleaning fee and the pet must be removed from the property. Service animals are permitted on property by law. Service animals have been trained to perform a specific job or task to assist with a disability.
