This is a terrific place to stay. If I remember correctly this was probably a naval officer's house. It is at Portsmouth's historic centre, and is full of inspiring historical artefacts. Alex is a PhD (politics I think) and he and Finni make historical films especially about the Napoleonic era part of the time as well as letting rooms. They... More

Stayed at the Lombard house over the Bank holiday weekend ...had read the previous reviews on trip advisor and thought it was worth a visit. I'm actually not going to give too much away with this review just to say if you are planning a stay in Portsmouth then you must book this B and B ...to Alex and Finni... More

We arrived on Wednesday 27/03/2013 & we have a further 2 night stay here & all we can say it's a little gem of a place stacked with history a family run business. There are no lifts, lots of stairs to work off the big breakfasts that are put in front of us every morning mmmm delicious & I am... More

I wanted accommodation close to Gunwharf Quays as I was leaving to sail on a Challenger Yacht to Gran Canaria with the Tall Ships youth Trust. My train arrived at Portsmouth Harbour Station and Lombard House is about 10 minutes walk from the Station. I arrived at Lombard Street and my bearings were a little out as I was expecting... More

We stayed here for 2 nights for the Xmas Markets in Portsmouth. Our rooms were spotlessly clean and comfortable. The hotel is full of character and characters! Breakfast was plentiful and freshly prepared, although we did have to say what we wanted the previous evening. Nothing was too much for Alex the proprietor. Indeed, when I inadvertantly left our historic... More

This is a charming B and B in the heart of Old Portsmouth - the portion of the town with the best historic character. Alex and Finni, the innkeepers, are delightful, personal, professional and so helpful. Nothing was too much to ask to help us enjoy our stay. They oriented us to the town, suggested places to visit, and made... More

Mum, Dad and 2 kids; stayed for 2 nights. We wanted something central to Portsmouth and with a bit of character, not just a run of the mill chain hotel. This property is a 4 level B & B run by a couple who live on the lower levels. They rent the two bedrooms on the topmost floor. We used... More

My daughter has recently moved to Portsmouth and with no spare room I needed somewhere to stay when visiting her, she found this delightful B&B for me and knew I would love it, so much so that I had to completely re-arrange my visit to the dates that Lombard House had a vacancy, I did doubt if it would be...

We wanted to find a B&B close to the cathedral as we were singing the weekend services there, and we couldn't have found a closer place. Lombard House is an unusual tall, thin and quirky house just a stone's throw from the cathedral, and also very handily placed for the Spinnaker Tower, the historic ships, Gunwharf Quay and Spice Island....
