Bury Tower House
About the home
Bury Tower House, located in a Conservation Road just a few minutes from the beach, is a beautiful Grade II listed building whose interior has been lovingly restored. The Georgian detached house retains many of its original features, but with newly fitted bathrooms, fabulous bedrooms and a luxury modern kitchen ensures a wonderfully comfortable stay. See who is first to find the secret Tower Room!!
The property is situated in the Portsmouth area of Hampshire, being an ideal base for either sailing, a beach holiday with two local beaches nearby, for exploring the Hampshire countryside or for visiting the vibrant Gunwharf Quays with its waterfront restaurants, bars and shops. The house is also ideal for sailing crew accommodation with its flexible accommodation to suit all.
Bury Tower House has six spacious double bedrooms which can comfortably sleep up to 16 plus babies in cots featuring four bathrooms. One of the bedrooms is located on the ground floor with pretty french doors leading out onto the garden, and with a shower room also on the ground floor has proved popular with guests with limited mobility who perhaps appreciate not having to go up and down the stairs!
The house can accommodate groups of all sizes up to 16 with bedrooms set up to completely suit your needs - guests have a choice of either a king double, single beds with twin or triple rooms or family rooms. Ideal for hen parties, family bookings or bachelor weekends.
Outside there are two lovely gardens, a decking area with garden seating, tables and two gas BBQ's, off road parking at the rear of the property for 6 cars with room for a boat & trailer if required. For days inside there are two living areas and an X-Box with Games!
Families and group bookings of all ages and sizes are welcome, with Travel Cots and High Chairs also provided. These are stored off site so as to not be in your way if you have no young children travelling with you, and so guests need to book in advance of arrival if needed.
The ground floor is bright and airy with three sets of french doors leading out to the two gardens, oak flooring throughout and newly fitted luxury carpets upstairs. There is a fully fitted modern kitchen which includes a Neff oven and a 5 burner ceramic hob, microwave, dishwasher and fridge/ freezer. There is an additional fridge freezer in the utility/laundry room which conveniently has a door leading to the rear garden thus allowing both ease of laundry drying and the shedding of wet and dirty sports/sailing gear if you have had an enjoyable day out sailing or jet skiing on the Solent!
We are able to organise Rib Rides, Evening Sailing, Fishing Trips and Days out to Sea at a discounted rate for our guests staying at Bury Tower House. Catering is also easily accommodated for. Ask us for further details.
The sitting room has a period fireplace with sofas, armchairs and footstools offering room to relax, watch TV, play games or just sit and chat, in the winter enjoying the warmth from the real fire and in the summer the view of the garden.

Photos
The Central Southern England / Hampshire region


Hampshire is a popular holiday area, with tourist attractions including its many seaside resorts, the maritime area in Portsmouth, and the motor museum at Beaulieu. The New Forest National Park lies within the borders, as does a large area of the South Downs, which is also scheduled to become a National Park. Hampshire has a long maritime history and two of England's largest ports lie on its coast. The county is famed as home of the writers Jane Austen and Charles Dickens.
Hampshire has a milder climate than most areas of the British Isles, being in the far south with the climate stabilising effect of the sea, but protected against the more extreme weather of the Atlantic coast.
The Portsmouth / Gosport area
We are located in the beautiful area of The Solent where a 5-10 minute walk brings you to the beach where you can view all the yachts and the Isle of Wight. The area offers visitors a variety of natural, historical and naval attractions, as well as beautiful coastal walks.
We are able to arrange for rib rides and sailing days on The Solent, which is a great way of exploring what the area has to offer.
We are located just a few minutes from Portsmouth, with its excellent restaurants and bars at the vibrant waterfront Gunwharf Quays, and the historical Dockyard where you can visit The Warrior and Nelson's famous ship The Victory.
A superb network of public transport includes a foot passenger ferry from Gosport to Portsmouth (a 5-minute journey), and regular train and bus services ensuring easy access to all areas and a car is not essential.
You have the choice of two beaches whilst on holiday here. Stokes Bay Beach with its unspoilt coastline, wine bar and bistro and wonderful views.. Popular for sunbathing, sailing and windsurfing. Lee on Solent Beach is located a ten minute drive from the property, offering a variety of restaurants with many jetskiers and kitesurfers enjoying the facilities available.

Guestbook for Bury Tower House
Some of our guests' comments received by email or letter after staying at Bury Tower.......
"We all had a wonderful time at Bury Tower House and would definitely consider booking again for the next family event!"
Ros MacIver, October 2011
"My family and I have just returned from a fantastic week away at Bury Tower House. We had a brilliant week filled with loads of fun. The house was absolutely perfect for our large party of four families consisting of 8 adults and 5 chidlren, there was plenty of space for everyone to relax and chill out. I would highly recommend the house to any large party as we could not fault it at all. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of plates, glassware and cutlery and the open plan dining room was perfect for a crown of our size. The treats provided by Sandy on our arrival were also very welcome. The only small and minor suggestion would be the additional of a Freeview box so that the little ones had access to Cbeebies."
Jodie Raitt, August 2011
"I thought I must email to advise the owners of Bury Tower what a lovely break we had there. The house is beautiful and furnished to a very high standard. We absolutely loved it, especially the touch of chocolates and flowers."
Alison Brixton, July 2011
"We had a fantastic weekend. The house really is lovely, everyone is missing it and wishing we were back there."
Sarah Fineran, July 2011
"One word would say it all 'Outstanding' ! We had such a great time, the house is simply beautiful with so much thought gone into everything, we could not have asked for more, we were all quite blown away whilst being shown around. There was not one thing we could have wanted that wasnt there, nice surprise of fresh flowers and chocolates left by the owner, which was a really lovely thought, thank you! From the start of my first enquiry right up to us being home with many happy memories, Harrington Homes service was incredible, such helpful friendly people. Saturday night in Portsmouth Gunwharf Quays was great fun Would also highly recommend Renee Coombs Beauty she is so lovely, friendly, chatty and professional and simply brought our weekend to a very relaxing end with mini treatments on offer sunday morning. We will all remember my 40th weekend for many many years and we are already trying to sort a date for a re-union party re-visit next year! Thank you Fiona for everything Harrington Homes did for us to make the weekend so special and memorable, Ii will be highly recommending you to everyone."
Shelley Smith, June 2011
"We loved the little touches of flowers and muffins left for us. Had not appreciated in advance how welcoming and nicely presented the house would be. A very positive experience and the bride to be loved the Rib Ride!"
Diane Fowler, May 2011
"We all very much enjoyed our Christmas at Bury Tower House and there is no doubt that it has been recorded as “One of the best” on our list of Christmas holidays. It makes an excellent base for a family get together. The layout works exceedingly well - the double aspect dining room adjacent to the kitchen, the inclusion of a proper sitting area in the dining room plus the separate living room, means that everybody was able to feel part of the fun. In the summer I would imagine the direct garden access from the living and dining rooms would be an added bonus. A big thank you to Alex & Kate (the arrival gifts were especially thoughtful) and of course we need to thank Harrington Homes for the professional manner in which all aspects of our holiday booking were dealt with."
Peter Herring, December 2010
"Our party of 16 had a fantastic time at Bury Tower House in December for our annual pre Christmas gathering. The property had all the facilities required to make it enjoyable stay, and the christmas decorations and log fire made it feel very festive. The children particularly liked the tower room, which they turned into a Christmas groto!"
Steve & Linda Miller, December 2010
"Many thanks for the prompt repayment of the deposit, and of course for all your help in arranging our very successful 70th birthday celebration weekend, my mother had a wonderful time, as indeed did we all! The weather was not our side unfortunately, but thank goodness the covered area over the decking at the house allowed us to still have our BBQ for 25 people. The house was lovely and absolutely perfect for our party size. My nautical relatives were very impressed by all the amazing yachting photos too."
Belinda Exelby, August 2010
"Thanks for arranging out stay at Bury Tower, we all had a very good time. I'm very impressed with the service you offer, we have had quite a few similar holidays over the last few years, but never had anyone check everything ok, or make themselves so available for help. It is much appreciated and I'd have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone else."
Simon Dorset, Easter 2010
"We had great time. The house was lovely and very quiet. Our 6 children loved the "secret room" and spent a lot of time having very important meetings up there! Wonderful and the showers were excellent!"
Gillian Gill, April 2010
"All I can say is that it was a wonderful weekend in a lovely house and it all went so well. I wish we could have stayed longer. I really appreciated the beautiful bouquet of flowers, basket of fruit and celebration chocolates. I felt like a queen and as it was my birthday those touches made all the difference. Thank you again for all your help."
Audrey Lelliott, May 2009
"Excellent. Wouldn't hesitate to book again, the accommodation was wonderful and the spacious off road parking was most welcome with all the cars in our party. Very comfortable."
Lynette Baxter, October 2008
