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. ##### Karen M.

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! ##### Patty A.

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. ##### Heather M.
