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 .

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.

Judith gave really clear and helpful instructions on how to find the lodgings. We'd arrived earlier than anticipated but Judith was so obliging and allowed me to check-in early. Good amenities for a short stay; a lot of the items are stored under the sink so be sure to check there before buying anything - chances are, it's already available. Judith was also really quick to respond to any queries, cherry on the cake is their 2 beautiful cats who greeted us when they saw us. Thanks Judith and family!

Well located and a comfortable room for my short stay.

Terry is a great host, you can arrange almost anything you desire with her, and the place was really beyond our expectations. We really had a great time there and surely are coming back :)

Fantastic stay. We had eveything we needed. Host super responsive. Lovely top floor location with a balcony and great views especially at night. Would stay again. Thank you.

We had a pleasant stay at this property. The environment and facilities were excellent, exactly as shown in the photos, which was very reassuring. The location is highly convenient, with shops nearby and close proximity to the pier for easy access to the Isle of Wight. However, we did encounter some issues during our stay. Mobile network coverage in the area is not very good, and the broadband was malfunctioning at the time. That said, the management team handled the situation promptly and actively, providing us with temporary network access to minimize disruption. Additionally, the host and management team went above and beyond by offering compensation for the inconvenience, showing great accountability and responsibility. Their proactive and considerate approach left a positive impression on us. Overall, despite the challenges, their excellent service and the property’s great features made the stay enjoyable.

We had a lovely stay for two nights at Carl’s place Very comfortable property everything you could want for in the kitchen And a lovely walk down to the seafront at Bonchurch We didn’t get chance to walk from there to Ventnor, but it looked like quite a lovely walk We found a fantastic restaurant in Ventnor called the true food kitchen Quite small but excellent food you need to book though We’ll definitely be back again

The place was tidy and well kept! nothing to note as wrong with the place, great location

Amazing stay at this location - surreal beach setting and an incredibly spacious and clean house. Comfortably fit 7 of us in separate beds, very clean, local supermarkets, quiet surroundings and a great spot for a rest and recovery.

Great house and great host. Brilliant communication.

This was our second time staying in this home. Janine is an excellent host, responsive and friendly to any queries. As before everything was super clean and tidy and ready for us with no bother. Would happily stay again and would recommend with no hesitation.

Claire’s house was beautiful. We spent a lovely weekend out in the country side with our group of friends and the house accommodated us perfectly. The place is lovely, the garden stunning and the surrounding area very calm and peaceful. Our hosts Claire amd Monty were lovely, super proactive to send us itineraries and recommendations. Once we arrived they were also super helpful to help us navigate the house. Would highly recommend!!! Perfect for larger groups, the house has everything you need.

The Old School House was a beautiful retreat in a beautiful location. Justin couldn't have been more helpful and responsive, from the comprehensive list of places to shop and eat and things to do locally sent before we arrived to answering our questions speedily when we got there. There were nso many thoughtful touches around the house and we felt so welcome, it really was a home from home. We would highly recommend The Old School House to anyone wanting a getaway to the New Forest. Thank you!

A welcoming place, that is well appointed and a decent kitchen. An easy walk into Cowes. And pet friendly, a great choice for a Cowes Stay.

Great place in a great location, the flat has everything, super clean, personal touches, location is 2 mins walk from beach, host was super flexible with timings and very responsive. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing little flat. So close to the beach and great bars and restaurants. Perfect location. Road itself was very quiet. Comfortable sofa bed as well as the bed. Ben was a fantastic host and quick to respond to any queries. Had a problem with hot water and he sorted it quickly. Highly recommend.

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

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.

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

A short notice walking weekend in the New Forest in August meant accommodation was scarce but I found this little gem on Airbnb which turned out to be just 10 minutes from our walking start point in Godsall. After a 14 mile hike on Saturday I was pleased it was just 10 minutes drive to my accommodation and even better that the shower was hot and the kitchen equipped so I could heat up an evening meal. Lovely and peaceful, very pretty spot through the garden. Good internet signal and tv I could watch Netflix and BBCiplayer on, as well as lots of books to read from. The bed was very comfy as well. Unfortunately I didn’t spend long at the cottage as we walked both days but it,s a great spot and good value option for solo travellers.

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!
