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.

Really great property. Quiet. Nice breakfast. The British towel warmer/bathroom heater in my room was so cool. So glad housekeeping turned it on because I had no clue. As others have said, there is no elevator so if you're an over packer like me, be prepared to potentially lug your suitcase up 3 flights of treacherous stairs. 10/10 tho, would lug up again.

Good overall
Very nice hotel. Beds are really comfortable & a quiet position. Didn't eat at the hotel as we met up with family & friends who live in Southsea, therefore we ate at various restaurants etc. The only thing that annoyed me a little was that I was under the impression we paid on checkout, only to be told payment had been taken 2 days before our arrival. I do think, out of courtesy I should have been advised of this.

Beautiful boutique hotel highly recommend.
Beautiful victorian buildings which was so tastefuly decorated and so luxurious. Our bedroom no.5 was stunning and loved the wall paper. Must find where to purchase. The staff were so friendly and very tentative. It was our anniversary and there was a card left in our room when we arrived, very nice touch. We had lunch, dinner and breakfast which was delicious. Loved the pizzas, lamb and beef burgers all homemade fab. Walked 35 minutes to Gunwalk keys along the sea front lovely strole. Highly recommend and will visit again for sure. Thankyou.
