Gill is such a lovely proprietor and she was very helpful in organising rooms for my visiting speakers. I can totally recommend her B&B as it's also very convenient for the seafront and local attractions in Portsmouth.

It would be hard to imagine a more welcoming guest house than Gill provides in Portsmouth or anywhere else. We were offered a French-press carafe of excellent coffee upon check-in while enjoying conversation and learning more about Portsmouth and what we should highlight during our brief visit. That welcome was only a prelude to the custom-order breakfast provided in the... More

A welcome cup of tea from Gill after being shown our lovely room was just what we needed. The room had everything you needed, was charming, comfortable and good value. Breakfast was lovely and Gill very obligingly took us and another couple down to the Historic Dockyard thereby saving us the 8.00gbp for car parking, which was a great saving.... More

Our breaskfast was great - a full English with toast and jams, homemade set yoghurt and... More

The good things: - Owner was good and kind - The B&B itself was OK and the room was spacious, warm and big enough - Location was good, about 15 mins from Train station Portsmouth Harbr and 12 mins from the spinaker tower. It is also nicely located if you are going for some walking as well because it is... More
