Marine House

It is not always easy to find a very large holiday home that will sleep up to twenty guests, but the magnificent Marine House does just that. Not only is it extremely spacious, it has been totally renovated to provide luxurious bedroom suites and gorgeous living spaces. The location is just brilliant, moments from the Southsea’s beach, model village, piers, castle and  its ever popular Canoe Lake. This wonderful location is perfect for groups of friends or all the generations of a family that want to spend time together on the beach or visiting the many attractions of the lively, vibrant city of Portsmouth. History lovers, shoppers, fine diners and just about everyone else adore the area and a little further afield you can visit the wonderful towns and cities of Chichester, Winchester and Lymington and the charming villages sprinkled across the New Forest. You could even pop over to the Isle of Wight for the day!

Marine House has been lovingly modernised and refurbished to an extremely high standard making it feel like a luxury boutique hotel. Throughout, you will discover bright and airy contemporary living spaces and nine superb, fabulously appointed bedrooms, all with immaculate, contemporary ensuite bathrooms. It is a great house for a special occasion with its superb dining room that seats all twenty guests, a fabulous bar where you can serve delicious cocktails or glasses of your favourite tipple, a lavish lounge and a super cool cinema room, perfect for those teenagers or little ones that are tired after a busy day. The interior designers have waved their magic wands to offer elegant, beautifully finished spaces together with an impressive range of treats including a sauna and jacuzzi. The back garden may not be huge but the space is used brilliantly for alfresco dining and a cabin where you will find some of the treats and a delightful sheltered lounge area.

The discerning chefs amongst you will be delighted to find an immaculate, spacious kitchen on the lower floor with the very best appliances including two ovens, a built-in microwave, a dishwasher, a huge American-style fridge freezer and instant boiling water, perfect for large groups. It is a very sociable space so guests can keep the chefs in your group company, perching on stools at the island with a glass of chilled wine. There is also a cute window seat if there are a crowd of you in the kitchen. Next door you will find your beautiful dining room with its giant dining table, bench seating and upholstered chairs. With a very attractive designer wallpaper, the room looks spectacular and is perfect for a celebratory meal. There is also a very handy laundry room tucked around the corner. There is access to the garden from this lower ground floor.

The ground floor is home to your remaining living spaces and one of your luxurious bedroom suites. The living room enjoys a striking royal blue and white colour palette, sumptuous sofas and love seats which everyone seems to rush for, a wonderful feature fireplace and a large television with Sky Q. Just next door is the highly impressive cinema room with its 85 inch screen, Apple TV, Netflix, Amazon TV and PS4. You might find it difficult to get your children to leave this brilliantly appointed room. There is a comfy corner sofa as well as two chairs that recline. There is usually a race for those too! At the far end of the hall, you will find the bar. It is just brilliant for groups of friends and family. Wannabe mixologists can have a lot of fun! Beyond the bar you will find a beautifully decorated, large bedroom suite comprised of one room with a comfy kingsize bed, an adjoining room with a single bed, a pristine ensuite shower room and access to the garden. This suite is ideal for a family with a child.

There are five gorgeous bedroom suites on the first floor, three with kingsize beds and ensuite shower rooms, one with a single bed and an ensuite shower room and another with fun bunk beds ideal for children. Children love them! Even this bedroom has its own shower room! All of the bedrooms are very tastefully finished, mostly neutral in colour palettes but with the odd splash of vibrant colour. You will find some contemporary wallpapers and a range of luxury throws, curtains and scatter cushions. There is plenty of space for everyone’s holiday wardrobe and crisp cottons and fluffy towels for all.

The remaining three bedroom suites are found on the second floor, one with a kingsize bed and ensuite shower room, another with a kingsize bed, indulgent in-room bath and an ensuite shower room and the final family room with a kingsize bed, two snuggler chair sofa beds, an in-room bath and an ensuite shower room. It is rare to find a holiday home with this many luxury bedroom suites!

Guests can spend their evenings dining alfresco in the garden, making use of the outdoor kitchen and barbecue house. While the young ones are busy enjoying a movie or on playstation, you might also enjoy a dip in the hot tub or a session in the sauna. There is a Sonos sound system throughout the house so you can listen to your favourite tunes while you relax. You will not regret booking Marine House for your get together, that is for sure!
