Modern Seaside House with Hot Tub

ElishaRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Me and my family stayed here for my mums birthday for the weekend. It was absolutely the most perfect place to be. Beautiful, spacious and modern house. With 3 bathrooms & robes for all of us. A very generous ampunt of cookery, pots, pans, glasses for us to use, which made it easier to cook in the kitchen. Also had salt, pepper, tea and a few bits of food for us to use. We travel a lot, and this is more than any other airbnb host has given us. The Jacuzzi was the highlight of our trip, so relaxing and easy to use. The rooms were neat and the beds and beddings were so soft and comfortable, I had a great sleep here. The house had a good heating system, an easy to use oven and cooker. The location was perfect. In a quite street, but a few mins from busy areas, shopping markets, the mall, the beach, and good restaurants. The host George was also very responsive. I have so much more great things I can say about this place. I highly recommend anyone to come and experience it for yourselves.

Seafront Home with Private Access 2 Beach - Selsey

AriyaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Amazing stay in Selsey! The beachside view was breathtaking, and the modern design made it so relaxing. As a group of couples, we settled in the moment we arrived. The peaceful surroundings and stylish, creative vibe made it feel just like home. The games on the shelves and well-equipped kitchen with quality cutlery were great essentials for our stay. Highly recommend to anyone!

Number 71

DavidRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Well equipped, extremely comfortable with lots of room including two living rooms so people could do their own thing. Good position, corner shop nearby but walking distance to city centre and to also to major supermarkets. Car parking space for 3 cars was useful. Highly recommended.

South House - In the centre of Winchester City

LynneRating, 5 starstoday
6 of us had an excellent 3 night stay. The house is very close to city centre meaning cars did not move for whole stay. Everything in the house was well provided for, we didn’t find anything lacking. Would certainly go back if we returned to Winchester.

We had a lovely stay with our dog- the beach/cliffs are super easy, short walk away. The Cliff House Hotel was also on route (dog friendly and great food!). A peaceful location and only 10ish minute drive into the New Forest so perfect for exploring. A lovely, neat and tidy guest house, felt very comfy with all the amenities and a super comfy big bed! We will definitely return!

Two bedroom modern cosy cottage, close to beach

ToniRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We had a lovely time staying at the cottage. The cottage was a great base for our exploring round the Isle of Wight. I can imagine the decking area is lovely in the summertime. Lots of space out the back for our dog to run around outside. The rooms were good size and clean and the kitchen well stocked with utensils and cooking items. Gail was very helpful and responsive and we are very grateful!

Garden cottage in the South Downs National Park

JenniferRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
We felt it a privilege to share the apartment alongside the host’s beautiful home with views over their gorgeous, landscaped gardens. We had everything we needed, slept peacefully on a super bed, were wonderfully warm (in minus degrees in February!!!) and found the area perfect for Portsmouth, Sandbanks, The New Forest AND Winchester Loved the place.

Brilliant host and property. Spotlessly clean with everything you need. Large kitchen, spacious rooms and cosy lounge. Host was very accommodating and friendly and provided information about the local area. Parking right outside was a bonus. Short drive/bus ride into the centre and to the docks where there is loads to do for all ages, including lots of fantastic museums. We would certainly book again - thank you.

Charming 3 bedroom country cottage

MattRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Spent a lovely Xmas here. Cosy old railway cottage in a lovely and peaceful village. The kitchen/diner is a lovely room and ideal for entertaining. Can imagine that in the summer the back garden would be a lovely place to unwind. Great also to have visitor parking. Felt very homely and also dog friendly, ours was very impressed with the dog toy collection!

Pretty in Pink - delightful, cosy chichester house

NicoleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The house was warm and cozy when we got there. It was spotless. The bedrooms were perefct and loved the quirkiness. There was a folder full of information that we used. It was a quick walk to the city centre but we chose the walk to Chichester marina. When we got home we had hot shower, pj's on and settled in to play games and watch telly. Next day we did not want to go home...

Family friendly Beach House - a skip to the water!

EmilyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The house had everything we needed. It was well equipped with plenty of space for two families. Perfect for kids and lots of options for sleeping arrangements. The house has a really warm lived in feeling and is a real home from home. The hosts were brilliant, really responsive and on hand with our questions. A stone’s throw from the beach and in reach of lots of lovely local places, the location was brilliant.

The Turkey House - Family Farmhouse Sleeps 7/8

EllaRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We loved staying at the Turkey House this autumn. Straight out of the house you can walk through the beautiful woods up the Ashford Hangers and to the Poet’s stone. It is cosy with the Aga - never used one before but so easy and efficient to use. There is an electric stove but that wasn’t needed. The house has a ‘lived in’ feel. The well-stocked spice cupboard was very useful.
