We loved this property, stayed group of 3 couples lots of space ideal for relaxing and shared spaces
Good location great bars few mins walk
Lovely decor and every little touch thought of, comfortable beds and would def go back x
Honestly, one of the nicest, cleanest, nicest smelling (SO good!) places I’ve ever stayed at. It’s in a REALLY good location, central to all of Portsmouth. Parking nearby. Host was really lovely. Would thoroughly recommend.
Immaculate all over with a lot of money spent on it. Kitchen excellent, very good dining area, beds very comfy..most important also, the host was very swift in responding prior to the stay.
We had a lovely stay , visiting the dockyard and spinnaker tower.. My family enjoyed using the house as a base to rest between sightseeing. The accommodation was spotless lily clean and the garden was lovely .
A cute Victorian property with deceptively plenty of space for sharing couples or a family. Very homely and just a short walk to local pubs and restaurants and of course to the beach. We stayed here to be within easy reach of Victorious Festival, so it was perfectly located, even managed a sunny sit down in the garden between rain showers. The host was very accommodating and communication was excellent.
Amazing. We loved this house. It smelt SO clean every time we opened the front door. Everything was spotless, well equipped and the beds were amazingly comfortable. It was very quiet at night. We'd love to come back. Should have stayed for more than 2 nights as there is so much to do in the area.
There were three of us that stayed at the property. It was very clean and location was perfect. Short walk to the train station. If you don't mind walking 1-2 miles you can easily reach the dock.
The kitchen and eating area were a great place to gather. The bedrooms are on separate floors, so there are some steps to consider,
Trevor and Amanda were very helpful and quick to respond to any questions.
We all our visit to Portsmouth!
