We stayed here for the 2nd time in the new year and it was even better than our first stay, which I didn't think was possible to top. We spent 3 nights and wished it could have been longer. The bed was so comfy we didn't want to get up at first, although the delicious breakfast on offer downstairs was... More

We stayed 3 nights, Mike and Maggie were very welcoming, breakfasts are amazing and the bedrooms very clean and comfortable. We parked the car and did not use it until we went home as the location was brilliant. We did not want to come home. We would differently stay there again.

Lovely clean rooms, great breakfast, free parking and a good location right by the harbour. I discovered shortly after checking out that I'd left my mobile phone cable, but they... More

Breakfast was in a bright airy room with delicious food served in a friendly atmosphere. Parking with permit was opposite the property. The ideal base for... More

Maggie was a wealth of knowledge and pointed us in the right direction to the attraction. If we are down Portsmouth way we will look to... More

A fantastic B&B, Maggie & Mike were the perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was lovely everything cooked to order, bedrooms comfortable, clean & tidy. Location was perfect, we parked the car & didn't get into it until our return journey home. There is plenty to do in & around Gunwharf Quays but you can also go on... More

Excellent: room, parking, hosts, location: Best location for visiting historic dockyard, Harbour sights and D-Day Museum ! Wir kommen wieder, weil es so toll war mit typical English weather - 10 days blue sky, white clouds, not even one drop of rain.
