We stayed in this lovely quirky cottage for a family get together when some of the family attended the Victorious festival in Southsea. We expected to be 8 but in the event we were only 7. All the bedrooms were double beds which was a slight inconvenience. However we found the rest of the house adequate for our needs and we were all able to squeeze round the kitchen bar for our meals. There was plenty of equipment in the kitchen to cover our needs and a very generous welcome pack. We were able to use the garden which had plenty of seating for us all. We all enjoyed our stay very much.

This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 14 Oct 2022 #### Walking holiday on the South Downs The cottage is in a great location, but parking is a problem as only one car can park at the property. The owners have a considerable amount of memorabilia and it felt as though there wasn't anywhere to put our "stuff". With only two bathrooms it would be a significant difficulty with 8 people. We had three people and that worked well, had we had five as planned (two could not come) it would have been crowded in the house and difficult with the bathrooms. I would recommend the property for three, but not the eight as advertised. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yasmin S. 28 Sept 2022 #### Great Stay Definitely Booking Again We had crew staying in this property for work. They very much liked this property and requested it was booked again for future jobs. (which we have already done!) The location was perfect and so was the property! We definitely recommend. ##### Yasmin S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine D. 23 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great week in Westbourne We had a fabulous week in this lovely cottage. Booking and check in went smoothly and queries answered quickly. Cottage location excellent (parking for 2 cars only on forecourt as narrow lane). Accommodation stylish and quirky. Some rooms a little on the small side but beautifully furnished and a lot of thought has gone into this home. We had 6 adults and 2 young children and everyone had a great stay. ##### Catherine D.
