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
Linden House is just a few minutes away from Stokes Bay Beach with wonderful views of the Isle of Wight and a popular place for bathing, sailing and windsurfing, and is also home to Stokes Bay Sailing Club and Stokes Bay Angling Club.
The Bay has historic features including Fort Gilkicker and was the site for launching a large force for the D-Day landings, which is commemorated here.
We are located in the beautiful area of The Solent where a few minutes walk from the property 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.

Guestbook for Linden House
Copies of some of the emails and letters we have received from guests following their stay at Linden House apartment........
"We really enjoyed our stay. The beds were really comfortable which is really important when you are out sightseeing all day! We picked Harrington Homes because it was one of the few self catering agencies to offer an affordable property for just 2 people."
Andrew Witchell (August 2011)
"We had a great time and the weather was very kind to us. We had planned to go further afield but only managed the Isle of Wight for a day as we found so much to do in the Portsmouth & Gosport area. The flat was lovely and within easy reach of Waitrose - bonus! The bedroom was indeed very light and airy as in the description. The welcome hamper was thoroughly enjoyed, a nice touch. Thanks again for everything. The next Portsmouth Navy Days (reason for our visit) will be in 2012 so we may well be back!"
Rosemary Tyler (July/August 2010)
"We really enjoyed our holidays in Linden House Apartment. We especially liked the well equipped kitchen, the beautiful bedroom and the lovely patio. I think its also great that you can use the two bikes there. All in all we had a fantastic time on the South Coast!"
Nina Poerting, Germany (August 2010)
"We really enjoyed our stay at Linden House. It already started with your friendly guidance through the booking procedure. The flat was exactly as described and as shown in the photos. Nice and clean! Everything needed and more was there. We have already recommended Linden House and Harrington Homes to our friends and we will be back again"
Frank Krause, Germany (August 2009)
"We enjoyed our stay at Linden House immensely and want to thank you for all your help. We were very impressed with the cleanliness and the welcoming flowers and hamper. Thanks also to Ben for kindly picking us up from the ferry and fixing the bike for us. We enjoyed being able to cycle out to the Bay and to Lee so easily and being able to sit in the garden in the evenings. The weather was great of course and I enjoyed seeing all the familiar places again. Thank you again."
Sandra Christiani, Holland (July 2011 & 2009)
"Thanks for all your help with the accommodation, we were impressed with the standard and will not hesitate to contact you again when we need similar accommodation."
Kevin Warren (May 2009)
"Just wanted to say thank you for a lovely stay at Linden House. We were greeted by a great welcoming committee and the house was very comfortable and well equipped. Everything we needed was there. Did you find my note about the loose cold tap in the bathroom (note from owner – now fixed). We enjoyed our stay so much that we hope to come again."
Chrissie Nieeuwenhoven, Holland (May 2009)
"As always the flat was perfect for our needs. Thank you."

It was really well presented and Ben was very nice and informative. The property was lovely and very well presented and the bikes were very useful, and we had a fantastic time. We shall certainly get back to you next time we come down to the south coast."
Jacqui Craig (March 2011)
