"Property is amazing, the rooms and bed are plush and comfortable, its the first place ill check for availability if i am in the Portsmouth area, i highly highly recommend it. Third time staying here - firstly the two hosts are always welcoming but more importantly go out of their way to make sure you are both accommodated AND informed about everything you may need. We had an issue due to a booking mistake and they helped arrange something which they were not actually obligated to (i booked the wrong dates). Plenty of room in a seperate shared kitchen space if needed, games room and also a spa type area (i havent used it)."

"Great location, loved the secure parking, which was worth the money due to permit parking in the area. Check in instructions could have been simplified, although in reality it was easy enough. Large, clean room with everything we needed for a great stay. The host was fabulous and nothing too much trouble. The rooms are sound proofed, which was brilliant as we were fighting near the door, but disturbance free. Would definitely use again. Only downside is the property is quite dated, but you could say it has features. Cleanliness and facilities were my main aim with all boxes ticked."
