Great accommodation.

Exceeded my expectations, very good central location for Southsea and easy walk into Portsmouth. Off road Parking is worth the extra as nearby streets are narrow for on road parking. The Staff are all great, the spacious room with comfortable bed and excellent breakfast - what more one ask for. We will return in spring to meet up with friends again.

The property is in an old Edwardian home. Only issue is there is no lift & the stairs are steep. The staff was very accommodating & helped us with our luggage always. The dining room is very comfortable & the food is very good. The adjacent pub down the street is associated with the property & a short walking distance.
