Smoking friendly vacation rentals in The Solent

We loved our staying at Lianna’s place. Great location, the house was very clean and with everything we needed! Comfortable bed and for our 8 years old daughter the rocking chair was definitely a plus. Lianna and David were very responsive hosts. We strongly recommend this place .

My stay at Nick's place was absolutely amazing! The property exceeded my expectations in every single way. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything I could possibly need. The location was perfect – right in the Southampton city center, with everything at my fingertips, yet tucked away enough to enjoy peace and quiet. Nick was superbly welcoming and incredibly responsive throughout. My communication with Nick revealed that he is incredibly detail-oriented and meticulously delivers the best guest stay experience. From the moment I arrived, it was clear how much thought and care he puts into every aspect of the stay. Nick’s commitment to providing an exceptional experience truly stood out. I couldn’t have asked for a better host or a more comfortable stay. I highly recommend this place and would love to stay here again in the future!

Really helpful hosts, clean space in a good location would highly recommend

Samuel was a great host, communicative and quick to respond to any messages. Gave top tips for places to visit and was very helpful also, can’t find a fault! Plus being a 5 minute walk from the station its an ideal commute to the city centre.

A cosy stay with our dog. This room enabled us to enjoy an excellent week long stay and explore the island from our base. Judith was easily contactable and there was a small grass area (overlooking the sea) for doggie just at the bottom of the long driveway. Also there’s a footpath there too to get to the seafront. Judith provides some extra touches too thanks

Merci pour le séjour et les recommandations !! A bientôt peut être

Great place

Everything was clean and orderly. Terry and his parents helped and informed us well. For me as an older person the second floor was a bit strenuous, but the steps were good. The balconys were nice. Terry was always helpful.

We stayed at the Grange for 5 nights during half term. The house was beautifully decorated with lots of character and a couple of quirks that you’d expect from an older property. My children loved the terrapins in the duck pond opposite. Bonchurch is beautiful and feels unique to other parts of the island that we saw. There is a lovely seafront walk into Ventnor accessible from the house (very hilly so tricky to navigate if you have accessibility issues but otherwise very nice). Everywhere is reachable by car in a fairly short drive which is a real plus. When we arrived, Carl came over to welcome us and make sure we had everything we needed which was a lovely touch. We asked for a couple of things during the stay and he was very quick to respond/pop over. I injured my hip early in the holiday and so asked if there was a chance of a later check-out which he kindly agreed to. Only mention is that parking is very tight for two cars. All in, a wonderful place to stay with a great host

Very clean and nicely presented. Great location with the new forest only minutes away which was ideal for us as we had our dog with us. Overall great little place to stay.

The house and it's location is lovely, and to wake up to the view of the sea from the master bedroom each morning was wonderful. It was extremely windy and the sea was rough when we stayed, but we still managed to get in the sea every morning. We took our own wetsuits, but there are plenty of wetsuits there for guests to use and a great drying room for drying wetsuits etc. The house has everything you could possibly need. One thing I would point out, we were a family with ages ranging from 71 to 2 yrs old, there are a lot of stairs which weren't a problem for us, but should be taken into account.

Great central location for Gunwharf Quay and Old Portsmouth near to harbour Solent, and Millenium Walk around the seafront and historic fortifications. Cafes, Pubs, and Restaurants are all a few minutes away, with Spinnaker Cafe highly recommended and virtually outside the front door. Four-storey townhouse on 4 levels and stairs took a few hours to get used to, but the layout made sense, with the main living room at the top with views across the harbour and Solent. A bonus is the rooftop terrace with views all around, including the Isle of Wight in the distance, but I suggest the extra glass of wine is probably best avoided if you want to get down the spiral staircase safely :-) All in all, it was a great stay, particularly as the weather was perfect for the duration of my stay.

Wonderful quirky house full of charm and character. We had a brilliant stay. Kids loved exploring the house and beautiful garden. In the words of my 5 year old, “best house ever!!!”. The ride on the old 1950’s Leyland double decker bus was a perfect way to end a marvelous break. Thank you to Monty and Claire for being superb hosts. Jon

Great stay this week. Lovely, beautifully decorated eclectic house. Accessible to beaches and restaurants. We felt very at home this week and enjoyed the time away!! Thank you.

Just got back from a lovely long weekend in the Witterings. The house was easy to find. It was in a good position on bus route with frequent bus timetable to get where you need. Recommendations from Jo the host were excellent. Garden was peaceful and relaxing. Would recommend and consider returning.

Great little bungalow attached to a truly wonderful New Forest pub. We ate in the pub and the food was terrific and the service was great. Lovely authentic oldie worldie pub. Highly recommend a stay at this place. Right in the New Forest and not far from the M27 so access was great. Cheers

Great place where to rest. close to the city centre walkable distance.

Thank you for a lovely stay and really helpful communications which made everything really straightforward!

excellent place with excellent value, lovely people who are happy to assist you throughout the course of your stay, superb location as well.

You get your own room and bathroom It matches the pictures , it is a very quiet location, rested properly while staying over with Ross I actually checked it quite late at 8:30 pm and it was totally fine for Ross, he is very responsive and helpful It is hard to rest when its not your own bed somehow this place felt like my own bed Its a bargain for the location and what you get I ve given 5 star reviews to previous places out of respect , Ross’s place is underrated So I took the time to express my sincere opinion and will be staying again

We were very happy with the venue! It met all of our expectations and suited our needs for a 1 night stay perfectly. The location is ideal with paid parking (very reasonably priced) just across the road and an array of bars and restaurants literally a minute’s walk away. The interior of this bespoke property is fantastic and was perfect for our needs. Thank you Sharon!

beautiful place with a difference. James was super helpful & responded quickly to any questions I had. would recommend this to anyone who doesn't want your average hotel stay.
