Great hotel, ideal location and welcoming hosts

Great hotel, comfortable big bed and lovely lounge space. Very clean and well decorated. Great to have the use of a kitchenette too. The facilities were great with a communal area with table tennis and pool. Great location in Southsea. Very welcoming host with a personal greeting and tour. Would definitely recommend.

Cannot fault this property at all, the hosts are so welcoming and love that you get a tour around the facilities. We booked the spa for my partners birthday and it is a little slice of heaven! Then we played a few games of pool in the bar/lounge area before heading to our room. The area is great, permit parking super easy outside the property, and great recommendation for breakfast the following day (Farm Kitchen). All the best to the hosts for the future success of their business as this is a local gem! xx
