How long have you owned the property?
11 years!
What was it about the property that you first fell in love with?
It's grand and Edwardian and in the perfect location for the beach.
Do you have a favourite room in the property?
I love the open-plan kitchen/ diner - a fantastic space for the whole family to gather.
For anyone coming to stay is there anything in the surrounding area they should...
Really do?
Make sure you visit the Historic Dockyard and see the Mary Rose.
Really eat?
The Florence Arms Gastro Pub - it's excellent and only a few minutes walk from the house.
Really see?
The magnificent views from the top of the Spinnaker Tower.
What insider tip would you pass on about the property or the area?
Everyone who stays says they didn’t realise how much there is to see in Portsmouth and the surrounding area and that they wished they had booked to stay for longer, the dockyard alone can take a few days to go around.

Christmas in Southsea
Our property in Southsea was perfect, handy for the seafront and walking, close to shops and amenities. It was decorated for Christmas which was lovely. Parking was ample and simple. Our family all had their own space but plenty of communal opportunities. Overall ... marvellous!
-
Great house!
We loved our get together! The house was well equipped and literally minutes from the seafront. Southsea is a great area, brilliant shopping & restaurants and coastal. We had private catering and it meant we could really relax properly. Great house!
-
Long awaited family holiday
We hadn’t got together as a family for so long we wanted somewhere special we could all relax and be together without worrying about others around us. The children loved the cinema room space and the adults enjoyed the open kitchen/diner so chef wasn’t left out of the chatting!
-
Beautiful bedrooms
The house was ideal for our corporate group. The rooms were more like hotel rooms all beautifully designed and all en-suite rather than people sharing. The on site parking for everyone was a real bonus.
-
We loved it!
Our first time in self catering over a hotel – brilliant! Loved the space and just a great way to relax as a family.
