The Central Southern England / Hampshire region

The beautiful county of Hampshire located on the south Coast has everything you could want- long sandy beaches, copious water sports, Islands, Forests, rolling countryside, villages and exciting maritime cities.

The Isle of Wight which can be seen clearly from the apartment, is within easy reach of Gunwharf by car ferry, hovercraft or fastcat.

Enjoy cycling, walking, horse riding or watersports? If so Hampshire offers you numerous opportunities. Portsmouth has excellent transport links to the whole of Hampshire and beyond so if you are looking for entertaining day trips or exciting breaks this beautiful county has so much to offer.

After shopping in the designer stores in Gunwharf, try extending your shopping trip to Southampton which offers hundreds of high street stores and is the home of many famous cruise liners. Or why not visit the lovely cathedral city of Winchester, the ancient capital of England or maybe a trip to England's newest national park the New Forest to see the wild ponies and take part in some outdoor activities.

Hampshire has so much to offer you will be spoilt for choice!

The Portsmouth / Gun Wharf Quays area

You will be staying in a modern 2 bedroom apartment slap bang in the middle of a vibrant water side resort yet in a quiet area and within 30 seconds walk of designer shops like Jack Wills; Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, French Connection, Fred Perry.....the list goes on! Not to mention the numerous restaurants and bars which surround the apartment including Jamie's Italian, Las Iguanas, Brasserie Blanc, Loch Fyne, Strada, Cafe Rouge, Giraffe, Pizza Express, All Bar One, Jongleurs, Tiger Tiger, Slug and Lettuce etc.

Gunwharf also offers a Vue cinema, Grosvenor Casino, ten-pin bowling, harbour boat trips, and of course a trip up the Spinnaker Tower which stands at 170 metres tall and which offers unbelievable views of the surrounding area. The famous historic dockyard is just a few minutes walk away and offers the opportunity to visit The Mary Rose, HMS Warrior, HMS Victory, national museum of the royal navy and harbour tours.

Southsea seafront is very close by and offers a long promenade for walks, tennis courts and traditional sea side entertainment at Clarence pier.

Gunwharf Quays and the surrounding area has so much to offer visitors- once you have been you will want to keep coming back

“Fantastic” A really lovely apartment offering home from home comforts in an excellent location. It was great to have secure parking for two cars as it was we left the car parked up and walked everywhere. I am sure we will be back to stay here again.

“Superb location and excellent accommodation!” Ideal location for a weekend of Christmas shopping. We had a fantastic time and would definitely consider a return next year.

10 Oct 2012

“Great Location and Equipment” The location of the appartment is extremely handy with Gunwarf Quay shops next door and Old Portsmouth, the city center and Southsea within walking distance. Lounge and master bedroom have stunning harbour and Isle of Wight views. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the wireless LAN worked without any problems. When we arrived, one of the owners waited for us in front of the building and showed us the way to the parking and the appartment.

24 Sep 2012

“It was everything we wanted it to be!” The property was perfectly located and, despite it's very central Gunwharf location, the noise of people coming and going did not disturb us. The property was immaculately presented with everything that a family would need. The secure parking and entry to the building were very reassuring. The best part of our stay was definitely being so centrally located and the bit we liked the least was having to come home, I think we could have easily stayed for another week.

“One of the best apartments I've stayed in!” A really brilliant location, apartment spotless. Security entry to the apartment really good especially as we were 2 females on our own with a small baby, at no time did we feel threatened. Really close to railway station, we had a trip to Chichester and Guildford, leaving the car behind saved any hassle having to park. We also had a trip on the ferry to the Isle of Wight, Ryde where it docks is lovely, especially as we picked a sunny day. Jayne who met us and showed us around the apartment was really friendly, we didn't need to call on her but she certainly gave the impression that nothing would be too much trouble. Other reviews have mentioned the noise, not a problem after all what can one expect but a little night time noise in such a central location.

“You couldn't ask for better” Fabulous apartment in fabulous location, so much to see and do and you don't have to move the car once there. Trains, buses, ferries, dockyard, Spinnaker, shops and more all within walking distance.

03 Mar 2012

“Excellent Accomodation and Setting” The apartment was spotless and well furnished with everything you need to be comfortable. The Internet Connection was very useful. The Setting is particularly good with everthing on your doorstep or within easy walking distance - our car remained parked all week in the secure allocated underground Car Park. We take a break at least twice a year and this was definitely one of the best we have stayed in. We fully intend to return next year.

“I will stay in this apartment if it's available every time I visit Portsmouth” I rented this apartment for 35 days. It is in an outstanding location - I don't think you could find a better spot with all services, facilities,and entertainment within a short walk. The apartment was clean, well-appointed, and most comfortable. Underground parking was an added benefit. Comunication with the owner was excellent. The value was exceptional. In my future trips to Portsmouth, I will always seek availability of this property as my first choice.

“A lovely apartment in a fabulous position for shops and restaurants.” Only stayed a couple of nights, the apartment was exceptionally clean and well cared for. The bed was extremely comfortable although the pillows were a bit chunky, as we prefer medium ones. A great position for the shops, restaurants and entertainment that gun wharf has to offer. Perhaps a little on the expensive side on a per night basis, but had an enjoyable short break nonetheless.

“So convenient; within walking distance of all the popular attractions.” We got lost but the directions gave us enough landmarks to be able to find it. This was very clean, warm and comfortable accommodation. Views over the rooftops to the harbout entrance and Solent mean you can watch vessels of all kinds coming and going. We left the car in the dedicated parking under the building for the whole week and walked everywhere. The historic dockyard is just a few minutes away and the Spinnaker tower is even closer, being part of the Gunwharf which is at the front of the building. Southsea is a very pleasant walk away down the promenade and the little castle, next to the D Day museum is a delight. There are some nice restaurants in the old part of Portsmouth; we wished we'd found them earlier. The Dolphin, by the Anglican Cathedral, serves very reasonably priced, good food and is a nice atmosphere. We didn't get the chance to try Monks, just a few doors up but it was recommended to us by someone leaving just as we passed. Their menu is a bit pricier but might be nice for a treat. We had glorious weather and took advantage of a trip on the hovercraft to the Isle of Wight, taking the train to Shanklin. A trip on the foot-ferry to Gosport and the submarine museum was good; also to Explosion. A harbour trip was also interesting. The only thing we have to moan about was the late-night revellers who start arriving at about 10pm and then leave a few hours later after a good night clubbing! It did disturb our nights so we invested in earplugs which helped a lot. Otherwise we had a very good week and would happily recommend it to anyone except light sleepers!

“Excellent apartment & very convenient location” We enjoyed our week here: by chance we chose one of the best weeks for UK weather, the flat is very comfortable and very conveniently placed for everything we needed. The welcome procedure worked very well. The only drawback which may affect some is the noise at night due to the central location.

11 Sep 2011

“Loved every second of our stay” we had such a lovely stay in this gorgeus apartment. The owners gave us such a lovely welcome and could not have been any more helpful. the apartment is brilliantly located and is furnished to a very high level. we shall definitely be back and will reccommend to all of our friends and families.

22 Jul 2011

“Fabulous apartment” Brilliant apartment in a fantastic location right on Gunwharf Quay. Two large bedrooms, two bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen with good quality utensils combine to make this a home from home. There are two secure parking spaces in the basement garage and a well stocked Tesco Extra just across the pedestrian precinct. To top it all, the owner and his parents are lovely people to deal with. This was our second stay within three months and we will certainly book again. I cannot fault this apartment.

“Very comfortable flat in a great location” Spent a few days in Portsmouth with elderly mother and found everything about the flat perfect. Very spacious and the walk in shower was very practical for people with less mobility. Easy to get to the Historic Dockyard. However if you are thinking of doing the harbour boat tour it is worth noting that this is included in the price of entrance to the Dockyard. Unfortunatley we did the habour tour first and paid for it at Gunswharf Quay. Was only £5 each but annoying that it would have been included int he Historic Dockyard ticket!

16 May 2011

“Very nice and convenient” The location was very convenient, the view was great (although there are better views from some other waterfront properties, its was clean and very comfortable. the owners helped us reconfigure one of the bedrooms for a 90 year old in our party. Only negative was that the owners got caught in a traffic jam and were 20 minutes late in getting to the apartment to open it for us and to give us the keys, etc.

16 May 2011

“Home from home in a great location” Everything you might need, in a wonderfully appointed apartment in a great location. We are a party of 2 adults and a 9-year old boy, but there is plenty of space for a family of 4 to stay without tripping over each other. The apartment is equipped to a very high level, with all the appliances you will need (and more) Attention to detail includes a DAB radio, WiFi internet, and Freeview TV with DVD and BluRay player. Gunwharf Quay has a great range of restaurants, but there is a well-stocked Tesco Express only seconds away if you want to eat in. The views from the balcony out to sea are a wonderful way to end the day. This is our second visit, and we will certainly be hoping to return. (I know this is an uncritical review with very high scores, but we really can't think of anything negative to say!)
