Cottage vacation rentals in Portsmouth

First of all we have to give credit to Ashley who was a fantastic host. Had a minor issue and Ashley responded and dealt with it straight away. It was clear he wanted to ensure his guests had a perfect stay. The cottage itself was perfect and exactly as described in the listing. Extremely spacious and stocked with all the items you might need. The garden and outdoor hot tub/living area is incredible. We were fortunate to have good weather during Easter and I imagine during the warmer months it would be even more idyllic. We had three children in our party and they loved all the space. Location is ideal for exploring the island. We went to The Needles, Shanklin, Sandown, Tapnell Farm and Robin Hill and were never more than 25 minutes away. Highly recommend Ashley's cottage and we can't wait to return one day.

Really lovely house. Deceptively spacious and perfect for 8 of us for a long weekend. There was everything there that you'd need. The hot tub and table tennis were a great feature too. Most importantly, it was spotless. I'd love to know what washing stuff they use because the bedding and towels smelled lovely! The kids are already trying to plan another trip. Thanks again Joel and Gaby.

We had a lovely stay at Jane’s lodge, the hot tub was amazing and helped us totally relax. We had a car so was able to go out and explore. However there was also plenty to do within walking distance. Highly recommend Jane’s place

Really relaxing, comfortable and peaceful. Superb decking area and private garden area. Lots of places to visit and the setting is lovely. In fact, met all our expectations and more! Really pleasant stay in sumptuous surroundings. Outstanding host!

Beautiful setting, accommodation as described. Lovely, clean place. Neil was the perfect host, nothing seemed too much trouble for him. Very helpful and quick to respond. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night getaway!

We had an amazing stay, everything was exactly as in the photos if not better. We loved the log fired hot tub, and the stylish, modern interior. The bed was super comfortable, and all the furnishings were extremely luxurious. Winchester was only 20 mins away by Uber, and we enjoyed a lovely meal at the Ivy on Saturday night. All in all a fabulous weekend.

The converted stable has been finished to a very high standard and is absolutely beautiful. Fabulous bathroom with a lovely roll top bath as well as an excellent shower. Kitchen finished to a very high spec with all needed utensils in place. Bed was extremely comfortable with great quality pillows & duvet. The hot tub was the icing on the cake, which we enjoyed every day. We were lucky enough to see two red squirrels when out walking early in the morning as well as a barn owl 🥰

Such a beautiful setting for a relaxed short break. The cottage is set within the grounds of Hill Farm surrounded by amazing views of the countryside and local animals. Melanie and Ian provide everything you need to enjoy your break including making sure the basic essentials are supplied in the welcome pack which was lovely - especially the doggie treats!! Thank you for a lovely stay!

Lovely way to spend a few days over the Easter hols the kids. The house has everything you need and is very comfortable, thanks for a lovely stay.

Lovely little cottage. Really cosy and plenty of space. Great pubs nearby all in walking distance, and some lovely walks too. Great place to take the dogs! Thank you for such a lovely break!

As a regular visitor to the island / Cowes, enjoyed my stay at the Harbour Cottage and found it's location great for both work and fun purposes. Instructions on how to get into and "operate" the cottage we're clear and Debbie responded always in timely manner which was greatly appreciated given the last minute booking. Also big thanks to Debbie for her kind flexibility re check out time.

If I could give extra stars beyond the 5 star rating, I really would. Hillary's AirBnB is beautiful, exactly what my wife and I needed and agreed it was one of the best places we've stayed at via AirBnB. Hillary allowed for an early check-in, was really communicative being friendly and helpful whenever we did communicate. Cannot recommend enough!

The location is special : right by the sea, totally quiet, a short walk or bike ride into town. Comfortable, clean house, plenty of hot water and heating if required. Very responsive agency. And Caroline, the owner, makes her own icecream ! Delicious, and available in local shops.

Great stay in a very quiet and peaceful village. Great dog walking from the door. Sun room and lounge an excellent place. Host very helpful, even got a tour of the village and learnt all about the history.

We had a lovely stay at Marion's cottage in Bembridge - beautiful house and very convenient for the village. Very peaceful spot and we enjoyed sitting out in the leafy garden in the evening - a great suntrap. Thank you for a great stay - I'm sure we will be back!

The cottage was comfortable and nicely furnished. We loved the rural location which was also in reach of all the attractions the Island has to offer. The bathroom is within the bedroom which wouldn't suit everyone, but fine for us. We would recommend for a peaceful break.

A really great house for our New Forest visit. Managed a couple of very enjoyable gravel bike rides along the coast and through the forest. This is a great base for exploring the forest.

Great little find! Loved the outdoor space where we were able to sit and have food with family. Log burner was lovely in the evening and made it even more cosy. Shower was hot and powerful and the kitchen had everything we needed. Will recommend and will definitely book again

I would highly recommend staying at Sandra's beautiful cottage. It is so well equipped, comfortable and cosy - a real home from home - and idea for long and short stays. Everything was immaculate and the bed and sofas were so comfy. And Cookie loved the dog bed and bowls that were provided. Sandra has provided lots of ideas for trips and places to eat locally. We will definitely return!

We stayed at the property with our family to help celebrate my wife's birthday. There were 6 adults and 3 young children in total, for which the accommodation was ideal. It was spacious, comfortable and clean and offered all we needed by way of facilities. Thanks to being blessed with a warm sunny weekend we were able to take advantage of the peaceful wooded surroundings and garden area. We may be back!

Thank you Kate for a glorious weekend stay for our babymoon. It was the perfect setting, very relaxing and beautiful with loads to do in the surrounding area, topped off by some stellar sunshine this weekend!

Perfect cottage with great amenities and a great location for us. London easily accessible and also West Sussex. Sociana was the perfect host We hope to be back James and Charlotte.

Cathia was an incredible host and made me feel so welcome. I was staying with my bridesmaids for my wedding and Cathia made the trip extra special. She is super responsive and her place is beautiful! Thank you so much!

Wow! What a fabulous find - cute little cottage with everything with needed - clean/comfortable and a fab garden area to enjoy the sunshine - perfect location for cycling to the New forest or walking into Lymington.
