We were visiting family in Bristol for the holidays and used Founders Brook as our home base for five nights. The property is close to Portsmouth’s downtown area and a hop over the bridge to Bristol. We had some of the best sleep we’ve had in years and felt very at home. This is the fourth time we have stayed here and each time we notice improvements. Love the complimentary toiletries!!

These are comfortable and quaint cottages set in a residential area with great lanscaping. Its like being in your own little cottage. It is relatively newly renovated and it is clean! We love it here and would definitely stay again when visiting family. Its a gem!

A family-run, beautifully renovated old motel in a quiet spot near a busy road. This was a great find when visiting a local friend recovering from surgery - close enough to visit, but not imposing as a guest. Once across the busy road, it's a 10-minute walk to a beach and casual restaurants. Easy to get in and out of on your visits in the area. I had a room with two double beds another friend and I shared. Great air conditioning, a nice living room area with modern applicances made it very homey. Everything was very clean, which we appreciated.
