Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Portsmouth

The views and sunsets are stunning - it’s an amazing location. After a busy day visiting various locations, it was so relaxing and peaceful to go back to. The house is well equipped and the welcome pack of provisions very much appreciated after a long days travel. Communication and information provided both before and during our stay was excellent. Would absolutely recommend.

Stayed here for two nights to attend a wedding at Steep Marsh, the next village over. It was perfect for our needs. Very clean and uncluttered and aesthetically pleasing. Host kindly let us in a little earlier which was great. It did get quite warm in the hot weather because of all the skylights. We kept the door and the bedroom windows open until bedtime to draw some cool air through.

Extremely peaceful and private location. The property is really nicely decorated with a massive comfy bed. Annie the host was really friendly and attentive. We had a lovely stay.

Thank you for another lovely stay. Returning yearly visit - the children love everything about the selsey half term! House is perfectly located and full of character.

Absolutely beautiful accommodation on the clifftop with fantastic views over the sea and all along the coast, including the Isle Of Wight. Very comfortable, clean and tastefully decorated. very close to beach access and with restaurants within walking distance and a good range of shops a short drive away. Nicky was very helpful and friendly, would highly recommend.

We had a fabulous stay in this spacious, comfortable and stylish home. Everything was exactly as described and more. Bread, butter, milk and wine, as well as an earlier arrrival time, was much appreciated. Very speedy responses from Geoff to any queries we had. Great house and host. We would love to stay again and highly recommend

Lovely cottage close to the waterfront. Private, quiet and had everything we needed for a short stay. Perfect for walking along the river and paddle boarding. Fab pubs and cafes close by too.

The Boathouse is an elegant converted property in a discreet location, but so close to the riverfront at Warsash. The living space on the first floor is airy and comfortable with a good kitchen area. The bedrooms downstairs are comfortable and have great bathrooms. It's also very useful to have a parking space outside. If you bring another car, the long stay car park is only a step away and good value. Warsash is well positioned for leisurely walks and the cash only ferry across to Hamble-le-Rice, which is equally charming. So many boats here, there's always something to watch and good options for local food and drink on both sides of the river. We enjoyed a lovely weekend.

A great location for exploring the New Forest. I’ve been before and the flat is ideally located to explore Brockenhurst and beyond and had everything that I needed. A lovely few days, and will definitely be back in the future.

Even better than the photos. Beautiful kitchen and lounge. I could sit and watch the ocean and boats all day long. Would definitely return for another holiday!

Such a lovely place to stay within a ten minute drive from East and West Witterings. We’ve stayed in this area a lot but wanted to be somewhere that was a bit more special and sentimental for our baby’s first holiday. This totally fit the bill as the carriage feels really special. Everything feels really high spec - things like the water pressure being great and the bath being so luxurious make this far from camping but with all the appeal of being away from it all. The area around the carriage makes the place almost twice the size in the summer and we loved sitting out well into the evening. It was also ideal for keeping an eye on the little one as everything was so close together. The outdoor space also feels very secluded and private and isn’t in any way overlooked. There is even a swing set for children and a shaded picnic bench. In the early hours with a baby it was so peaceful watching little bunnies hop past and the swallows flying overhead. Couldn’t recommend enough!

We had a lovely stay in Johan’s AirBnB. The space was beautifully kept with stunning views. There weren’t a huge deal of amenities close by but we didn’t mind going for a walk (even in the rain!). Would absolutely come back to explore the local walking routes. Thanks Johan!

We just loved the apartment. Easy location right by ferry, Waitrose around the corner. Very quirky and stylish. Would definitely return

Great location & space. Clean, spacious & well equipped. Appreciated bread, milk & butter. Would stay again. Thank you!

Iveta was very helpful and accommodating as we were unable to tell her our estimated time of arrival due to family circumstances. The lovely touch of chocolates and candles were appreciated. The appartment is spacious and well equipped. The parking space especially welcome as there doesn’t appear to be any other parking. Was also close to Southampton hospital which was what we needed .

A wonderfully warm welcome and briefing from Richard. The flat was small but perfectly-formed, with its own garden area. It was very well-equipped, comfortable and attractively furnished and decorated. The attention to detail was impressive, with thoughtful touches like flowers and basic supplies. The free permit-parking was convenient, and the city centre within easy walking distance. Even during a heat-wave, the flat remained cool, and the busy street was, as advertised, peaceful at night. We will certainly return if we’re back in the area. Thank you to Richard and Kate.

Lovely long weekend stay. Tim was very responsive to any messages. Plenty to keep us occupied in Hayling Island for a the weekend, and a great base to explore further.

The house was the perfect place for our family and we enjoyed staying here so much we’ve actually already booked to come back! Having access to the beach meant being able to quickly pop down with our small children around bedtimes and naps and waking up to the view every morning was magical! The house had everything you could ever need, was so clean and comfortable and we instantly felt relaxed the minute we walked inside! Thank you Daisy! X

We loved our stay at the beach. Such a beautiful location and so different than our sand beaches we have in the US. The rocky beach may not be for everyone but it was perfect for us as we weren't going to be swimming in April anyways. The house itself was wonderful and inviting - nothing bad to say about it.

We had a great stay, even in January, and the house was perfect for us (6 adults, a 4-year old, 2 dogs) The house was warm and spacious with lots of kids toys and extremely well equipped. The hot tub in the garden is a lovely addition, despite high winds meaning we couldn’t always use it! It’s well located near Cowes and its amenities, amidst other houses but on a quiet road, with great views because it’s on a hill and very near the sea, though not a beach as such. We would certainly return if we can.

We absolutely loved Joanna's place and had a great weekend. It was extremely comfortable and in the perfect position to enjoy the beach and everything around us. Our dogs were also very happy and the garden was safe and secure for them with a bit of grass. The house is well laid out. The bedroom was comfortable and the linen first class. Joanna was helpful and welcoming and available at all times. Highly recommended!

The folly is a beautiful and magical place with great character. We spent a couple nights there over New Year’s Eve and it was perfect. Check in was flexible and very easy. The location is very peaceful and the garden and surroundings beautiful. Great pub with excellent food a few minutes drive down the road. We hope to be back in the summer.

Catharine was an amazing host and Driftwood is absolutely beautiful in a perfect setting for our group get together. The hosts were fantastic and couldn’t do enough to help, even accommodating an earlier check in for us. Could not recommend this stunning home enough!

Lovely family home in the heart of the new forest. Was perfect for a pre Christmas getaway with lovely fireplace and warm Arga in the kitchen. Ian and team were very accommodating and it was lovely to have our two cocker spaniels with us to enjoy long daily walks in the forest. Will definitely be back again
