What our customers say about their holidays

  A really lovely base for our family holiday.

  Fantastic location, can get to the centre of Portsmouth within 15 minutes, and only a couple minutes drive to a massive supermarket with everything you could need. The two nearby pubs are both lovely, with delicious food, and plenty of pleasant walks nearby. The house itself was perfect for us, very clean with cupboards full of essentials, a pretty extensive spice and herb collection, and a really good selection of toys and games under the TV (our two-year old fell in love with "Stripy" the puppet, and was very sad to leave her!). The beds and sofa were decently comfy, and although we didn't really use it, the garden was a good size with nice furniture. The TV is decent including some of the major streaming apps available to sign into. The water pressure in the shower was far better than we'd typically expect on holiday, and our toddler especially loved the "fancy waterfall taps". The parking was a little bit anxiety-inducing at first with a wide car, however once the neighbours saw that we were there, they were very considerate in making sure that they left us plenty of space to get in and out. Overall, we had a lovely time and would stay here again!

  This was a comfortable, well-equipped holiday home.

  The warm garden had a garden chair, settee, small table and a picnic table, as well as a good choice of plants (rosemary, jasmine etc). It was close to excellent walks around the harbours, nature reserves and waterways, as well as walks around Hayling Island and the vast beach there. The house was very quiet and peaceful, with a very comfortable bed and sofa. We found the garden a bit noisy in the rush hours, but we do live in a very quiet area. Others might not find it a problem (especially in the winter!). It is very close to 2 pubs, and within walking distance to a garage/small shop across the bridge to Hayling Island. More pubs/shops/farm shop/cafes within 5/10 min drive. Just a note of caution to people who have dodgy hips/knees. The shower is over the modern bath, so the less able might find it hard to get in/out. Nice to have a choice between having a bath or a shower, though! I have recommended this house to another for next year's holiday, already.

  Stayed in June for 5 days.

  Difficult property to review, seems to have all you could need in the kitchen, we don’t cook in while away but seemed well stocked. The sofa and the beds were clean and comfortable. This property needs better cleaning, there is no attention to detail, especially at lower levels around the skirting and walls.The windows were unloved both the frames and glass need a proper clean and general maintenance. The patio door, the first thing you see as you walk into the lounge was both difficult to open and close with the glass desperately needing cleaning. The biggest drawback with the property is the loud and constant traffic noise, making sitting in the pleasant garden unenjoyable. The traffic noise is constant and not limited to the rush hour. This should be noted in the listing. As a base for sightseeing this property is fine, for a relaxing stay not so. There are 2 excellent pubs within easy walking distance.

  My Mum and I had a lovely 4 night stay.

  It’s our first break away for a long time and it didn’t disappoint. The flat was lovely and clean and had everything needed for our stay. It was warm and quiet with some beautiful views of the sea. The beach was a 5 minute walk away. It was local to shops with a co op to the left just up the road and town centre just 10 minutes walk away to the right. It was easy to get around and visit places both on foot ( and we did cheat and get a couple of Ubers when visiting elsewhere. But that’s how we roll ) there are however buses and bus stops nearby to take you to wherever you want to go. I can’t comment on the parking as we didn’t drive. All in all it was a fantastic little holiday

  The cottage was situated in an excellent position for exploring the coastal area & fabulous walks around Langstone Harbour.

  Two great pubs 5 minutes walk away. The kitchen was excellently equipped with all that is required for self catering, & a there was a very welcome breakfast pack waiting for us along with other food products which we were invited to use. In fact there was everything we needed, & if we’d forgotten our alarm clock there was a cockerel next door which started crowing at 4.15am every morning!!!!!!!!! to wake us up. He also crowed a lot during the day which again was very annoying, especially when we were sat outside trying to relax, read, sunbathing, trying to have a snooze, But that is our only negative comment. So if you want to have a relaxing time/have a lie in wear ear plugs!!!
