This is a pretty house newly refurbished very tastefully and containing pretty much everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is a good size and well-designed and well-equipped. Although the cottage is not large, the rooms are not cramped and are furnished to give a spacious and airy feel. The whole house was very clean and pleasant. There is a pleasant garden to the rear although, sadly, the weather wasn't quite good enough when we were there to use the garden furniture provided. We had intended to eat in most of the time during our stay and there are a number of small shops and supermarkets close by to buy what you need. However, we found that there were a number of quite good restaurants and pubs within easy walking distance so we ended up cooking on only one day. Southsea and Portsmouth both have quite a lot to see and do and it's also a good base for the New Forest and other places along the coast - and, of course, a day trip to the Isle of Wight. We found the whole booking and checking-in procedure very easy and Keith and Salva were extremely helpful. We would certainly recommend this property to family and friends.
