She never looked up and said hello to us. She finally hung up, asked if we had been there before and when I said no she told us to pick pieces and bring them up and she would show us what to do. Ok, this took me and my 2 year old about 5 minutes tops. We placed them on the table and the person who had been trying to book the party must have called again because she was on the phone yet again. Never even motioning just one minute, never looking up to even acknowledge we were standing there, just keep talking... my 2 year old was getting restless of course after this 15 minute wait. I made a comment about helping us and putting the person on hold- she never even looked my direction. I took my son, walked out and told her good luck with the party..:: took my son to Michael's crafts and he's painting something much cuter, cheaper and from the comfort of his home. I guess we weren't worth the $30 we were gonna spend while NO ONE else was in the whole place. Screw them- after reading the wonderful reviews I thought it would be fun, clearly a management change has happened. Don't waste your time.

We had a small wedding of 46 guests total, and PCC made us feel very welcome and special. Ariel was fantastic in coordinating the day and answering my MANY questions before the wedding and the day of, to make me feel completely confident and comfortable. Luckily, since it was a Friday wedding, we were able to set up most of the decorations ourselves the day before and the staff did a great job of finishing up the setup the day of. I was very pleased with the staff packing up the entire venue at the end of the night and even packing it for us into my parent's vehicle! The venue has beyond amazing photo opportunities with the tree-lined road coming in and the hills and greenery in the back. We did our first look at the adorable stone potting shed out front. The food was delicious and had guests raving about it. We felt confident in the food having gone to PCC's wedding tasting event a few months before. We loved our wedding at the Portsmouth Country Club!

I…read moreplanned our wedding from across the country during the pandemic and couldn't have done it without Donna's help, she really does make you feel like family & wants the best for your special day. Being a NH local, as soon as we toured The View we knew it was the venue for us. Donna & team made every step of the process exceed expectations - from our tasting to the wedding day it was everything we could have hoped for and more. The food was incredible, thank you Chef Eides! We had people complementing it for weeks after the wedding (the house made lemon cheesecake, wow). We wish we could go back and re-live our day over and over again because it was that good. The service and execution that Donna, Eides, and the entire Pepperrell Cove staff offer is next level. We can't recommend this venue enough. Thank you SO MUCH for making it the best day of our lives. Taylor & Justin Jones

I planned the…read moreevent on a short timeline and Donna was great to work with throughout the process - very responsive and accommodating. Of course the view of Pepperrell Cove is breathtaking, but the real star of the show here is the food. We were able to custom tailor the menu to be exactly what we wanted to serve, and it was all made on-site from fresh ingredients - something that is not easy to find at event venues. My family is Italian, from New York and hard to please when it comes to food, and they were all raving about every single dish that was served. Donna's assistance leading up to the event in coordinating with vendors and her hands-on presence during event night made the process seamless. I didn't have a wedding planner / day-of coordinator, and ended up not needing one - she made everything happen perfectly, even making sure our elderly guests had easy access to their seats. I couldn't recommend The View more for a wedding!

The food was fabulous, served efficiently and plates picked up at exactly the right times. The bartenders were so friendly and nice! I highly recommend anyone consider a wedding at this venue.

Once you get past those gates you really get to take the whole castle in and it's beautiful. This place was such a great backdrop for pictures that the wedding didn't really need much decorating. I also loved that the wedding guests were allowed to roam the castle and take pictures inside. This place really gave that elegant and vintage look that the bride was looking for. The person in charge of the castle was so friendly and kept walking around making sure everyone was comfortable and all their needs were being met. This place is a gem hidden among the trees and is truly a beautiful location for a wedding.

The play area was cute but it was clear hadn't been actually cleaned in a while. There were very limited options of what to paint and only certain pieces could be kiln fired which is what we went there to do. The teenager who was working didn't look up from her phone for more than a second to ring us up when we were done and I literally had to ask her if I should leave my name and phone number for when the pottery was done since she was just going to let me walk out the door without asking for any information. It's been over 2 months and after several phone calls I still haven't received my pottery or a refund and will now have to wait an additional month for them to reopen. Absolutely pathetic and ridiculous way to run a business.

The bed and pillows were divine, some of the best we have enjoyed a night's sleep on, and we have stayed in many fine hotels. Our walk-in shower was also quite wonderful. Even though breakfast was not included as part of our stay, all we had to do was walk around the corner to a bakery that offered espresso and breakfast items. My main complaint with our room was that we were at the front of the inn, which exposed us to street traffic (there was a fair amount of traffic for a small town!), but our room was also above their small private dining room. One evening the party downstairs didn't end until about 1:00 am. Talking and laughter woke me several times.
