Pretty Victorian cottage (1860) in a charming setting, 15 min walk from seafront

Really sweet cottage, modernized in recent years, situated in a conservation area. Decorated to a high standard throughout. Ideal for romantic getaways, fun-filled holidays for small families by the sea, discovering Portsmouth, Hampshire & the South coast and business trips.

You can also find us through the Portsmouth Tourist Board.

Our cottage is spotlessly clean and has two bedrooms, one with large double bed and one twin - the twin has a 'zip and link' bed which can be made up into a large double. Our living/ dining room leads onto the bathroom and kitchen. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need in a home away from home. Bathroom, as in many Victorian properties, is located on the ground floor. Garden has a patio area and lawn.

We are located 15 minutes from the seafront and conveniently located for lots and lots of fun activities and attractions. Also, minutes away from Albert Road with it's many restaurants.

A car is useful but not an essential. For those with a car, parking is available. For those without, there is a good local bus and train service.

Southsea, Portsmouth is a perfect location for any type of holiday and at any time of year – short city breaks, surprise Valentine’s/ anniversary getaways, Easter holidays, educational half term breaks, summer holidays by the sea, the Great South Run, Christmas and January Sales shopping. There is something for everyone. It is an ideal location for a holiday in Britain no matter what the weather or the time of year.

The cottage, as well as ideally located for visiting Portsmouth, is a perfect base for visiting the south coast and key locations further afield – central London is only 90 minutes away by train.

Wonderful stay - immaculately clean
We spent a lovely few days in this well appointed cottage. The place was extremely clean and everything was thought of by the owners - from kitchen equipment to puzzles and games. The location is fab for walks to the sea front and close to shops and other amenities. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

A very agreeable surprise
Looking from outside you can't guess how excellent the interior of this victorian cottage is, very well decorated, with a simple but agreeable furniture, and a kitchen and bathroom top of the range. The days were rather cold for our mediterranean like, but the house was always warm, thanks to the very efficient heating system. Its evident the care that Keith and Salva put in keeping all shining and glittering. And their hospitality is also just perfect. Congratulations on such a good example of welcome in all aspects.

Very nice flat in a quit, superb situation near the sea.
For us as family with two children (7 and 9), the cottage was the right thing for four days in the city with enough possibilitiy to rest as well. All was clean and the cottage is quit fresh decorated. The service was good, the description was accurate and we would recommand the cottage!

Neat and clean
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage and would highly recommend anyone staying in Portsmouth stay here. It's a recently remodeled space with a large bathroom and nice kitchen. There was plenty of room for the 4 of us. It's a quick walk to the seashore and there are a good variety of restaurants within a 15 minute walk.
