Places to stay in Portsmouth

We had such a memorable experience staying here — just myself and my three boys aged 7, 12, and 13. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel completely at home. Marley was incredibly friendly with a great sense of humour that had us all laughing and relaxed. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and ideal for a family. You can tell a lot of thought and care goes into making sure guests feel welcome. The boys didn’t even miss their devices — they were too busy learning and soaking up the experience. Some of our highlights were watching the red kites feed, spotting deer, and seeing badgers feeding — all made even more special by Marley and Fred, who patiently and enthusiastically educated us along the way. The boys gained so much from it, and it was a joy to see them so engaged and curious. We loved it so much we even tried to stay an extra night! Truly a warm, welcoming, and unforgettable place to stay with kids — we’ll treasure the memories

A perfect 48-hour escape from London! We couldn’t have found a better place for a quick countryside getaway. The Barn is the ideal spot to unwind and truly disconnect from city life—immaculate, beautifully curated, and full of thoughtful touches. Emma is a fantastic host, clearly passionate about creating a warm and welcoming space. We especially loved spending the evening outdoors with a BBQ, then getting cosy inside by the wood burner. The locally sourced jam and butter, plus fresh eggs from Emma’s own farm, were such a lovely bonus. We left feeling rested and recharged—already dreaming of coming back!

Beautiful garden room, lovely furnishings, garden stunning you will not be disappointed this a 5star accommodation.

Exceeded expectations. I was expecting a small place but it was not! Very comfortable and some nice treats on arrival that were most appreicated. Its a quiet suburban area, a good base for exploring Arundel etc.

Just arrived home after 4 days at David's houseboat. The accommodation was perfect, a great kitchen/living area and with the doors wide open straight out onto the outside deck. The views looking out at the creek are spectacular and if you like wildlife like we do then there are some daily visitors to spend some time with. Thank you David.

Perfect stay nice little studio had everything you wanted clean ,tea coffee milk all provided clean towels provided hosts are friendly made you feel welcome

A wonderful little place in the most beautiful location. The Lodge was clean and comfortable with everything you could need for a pleasant stay. We spent a week here while one of us walked the South Downs Way and the other one relaxed. In between, we visited local beauty spots and some of the excellent restaurants nearby. In the evenings we relaxed with the patio doors thrown wide open as the ever present sun slowly set. Blissful.

If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place this is it. Excellent acommodation. Roxanne was very helpful and she gave us all the instructions that we needed. For sure we will come back.

I cannot thank these hosts enough! They have been amazing, even moved one of their cars for me so i could park my motorcycle under the cabin to keep it covered. First time visiting Portsmouth and they were so welcoming and chatty felt right at home. Always had a lovely chat when they were around gave me various locations to visit which I’m glad i did. was always up for a good chat. Inside is just beautiful!!!!
