“Perfect - ticked so many boxes” We stayed the first week in February and although we know Portsmouth reasonably well we found the apartment so convenient for everything we wanted , Comfortable, fresh and everything we needed. There was always something to see going in and out of Portsmouth Harbour and as I said so much on the `doorstep` . Although we had a car, which had its own parking space allocated to the apartment, we really did not have to use it , as so much to see it within walking distance be it the busy shoppping centre, quiet walks, places of interest, ferries etc, etc., . We certainly would stay there again. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners to ensure we were comfortable. Response: Dear Guests, Thank you very much for taking the time to submit a review of your recent stay at Solent Views. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the quality of your holiday accommodation and the wonderful location of Old Portsmouth and surrounding area with all it has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you again in the near future. Thank you With Warm Regards

“Fantastic Views” The was our 3rd visit to the property. 1st since the owners have renovated. Which has been been done to an extremely high standard. The views did not disappoint again and one of the main reasons we go to this property. Hope to revisit again in the future. Response: Dear Guest, We thank you most sincerely for sharing your positive experience of Solent Views and are very pleased to know that you appreciated the recently refurbished interiors throughout. We are delighted that you have enjoyed your holiday experience so much that you have chosen to return for a 3rd visit and we look forward to welcoming you once again in the near future. Thank you With our Warm Regards Holiday Guest Services team

“Fab location, super property, great holiday.” We really enjoyed our stay. THE PROPERTY: The flat is newly & beautifully refurbished to a very high standard. The decor is light and fresh, lighting is excellent, the ambience pleasant and beds and bedding very comfortable. The quality overall is excellent. ACCESSIBILITY: Top floor flat, but only two flights of stairs so not a problem for carrying a stroller upstairs. Good access from front and rear of property, close to two off-road parking spaces at the rear of the development of apartments. THE LOCATION: You could not ask for a better location. Only 10 minutes walk to Southsea in one direction (castle, beach, hovercraft, amusements and pleasant shops) and 10 minutes walk to the newly redeveloped docks (eateries, outlet shopping centre, iconic landmarks and tourist attractions). Just around the corner is the ferry port to the Isle of White - and our daytrip there was easy - (look for deals internet on ferry plus attraction tickets). THE VIEWS: Views from the apartment were super regardless of time or weather. We watched stormy waves lash over the sea wall, fireworks at night, tranquil seas and loved spotting the Navy craft - look for the code number on the front of the boat, put into Wikipedia and come up with the details of the craft - we saw destroyers, frigates, patrol boats, dredgers - great fun with our young son. CUSTOMER SERVICE: The owners dealt with us directly, met us at the property and were helpful with our queries. OVERALL IMPRESSION: Although priced at more than other properties of a similar size, this one wins hands down on quality of property, views, location and accessibility. We would thoroughly recommend this property. Response: Thank you so much for taking the time to post such a wonderfully clear and comprehensive review of Solent Views. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your holiday and stay and the property and that you appreciated the recent complete refurbishment. We very much appreciate all feedback, as this helps to maintain standards of accommodation and levels of customer service, which are very important aspects of our guests overall holiday experience. If you revisit the area and choose to stay with us again you will be most welcome. Thank you again Warm Regards from us all

“A quiet week, in a relaxing and sun filled apartment with stunning views.” We have stayed at Solent Views on more than one occasion and each time we have enjoyed the apartment for it's facilities and for it's views of the Solent and the busy entrance to the harbour. It has ideal parking arrangements although a car is not required for the pleasurable walks to Gunwarf Quays, the seafront and the historic buildings and monuments in the area. There are a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants in the area. We look forward to a return to Solent Views. Response: Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to write and submit your review, we appreciate all of our guests feedback very much. We are delighted to hear that you enjoy staying at Solent Views with its great sea views across the Solent in the beautiful location of Old Portsmouth. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future, when we are sure that your enjoyment will be further enhanced by the complete refurbishment of the property. New photographs coming soon! Thank you Kind regards

“Fantastic Location” My family and I have been visiting this area for the past 20 years. This apartment is by far the best we have stayed at. It's in a fantastic location, there is no need to use transport - Gunwharf Quay, Dockyards, Southsea etc are all accessable by foot. The views of the solent are amazing. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. We have stayed here over the past few years and will continue to do so. Response: Dear Guest Thank you for taking the time to post your review of Solent Views. We are delighted to know that you and your family enjoy your holidays there as much as you do. We are remodelling Solent Views completely and look forward to welcoming you again in the not to distant future, when we are confident that the enhancements will make for an even more enjoyable holiday experience for yourself and your family.

“Foreever Changing views” The views from the windows grab your attention as soon as you walk in the appartment. We spent many a time sitting with our binoculars watching container ships and ferries going past the I O W, and... more

“A great place to stay” I returned home just a few months ago from another great holiday in the U.K., made even more enjoyable being able to stay again in my favourite apartment - Solent Views. My friends who visit me when I'm staying can't understand why I want to go out at all! They would be quite happy to sit and watch the continuous shipping passing by. It's perfect for me visiting from Australia - as you know I like to hire the apartment for 3/4 weeks and invite friends to come and visit me instead of my travelling all over the countryside catching up with everyone. You both always make me feel so at home, Helen. If there is anything I want you are only a phone call away and only too happy to oblige even to the extent of having a mirror fitted on the bedroom wall in order to make it easier for me to dry my hair! It's little things like this which in the end means a lot. Location, location, location too - who needs a car when there are many walks and things of interest to see on the doorstep with a train station and buses close by. Solent Views is more-or-less home from home for me. I'm planning on returning in the summer this year and renting Solent Views for three/four weeks again - the only problem being all my friends are expecting to be invited back to see me and are dropping hints they would like to stay a night or two! It is that nice. Response: Dear Guest, Thank you for your review with such kind compliments for the property and standard of service you have experienced whilst staying at Solent Views. We are absolutely delighted to know that you enjoy your time at Solent Views so much. We are on hand for all of our guests during their time at the properties we look after and always advise that we "are only a phone call away" for any requirement, query or question, offering a higher than average standard of customer service for self catering accommodation. Our prime objective is for our guests to be happy with their chosen accommodation on arrival and throughout their stay. To this end we do all we can to facilitate this and we are very happy to know that this has been your experience. Thank you once again for taking the time to write your review of your experiences and thank you for choosing Solent Views for your visit to the UK again this year, when as always you will be most welcome. Assuring you of our best attention With Kind regards

“Solent Views - Great Apartment - lives up to its name” This was our 2nd stay at Solent Views and would certainly come again. Helen & Stuart are very nice and helpful. The apartments and its views are superb and the location is great for the Gun Wharf and Isle of Wight. We would certainly recommend the apartment.

“PERFECT LOCATION, IMMACULATE & COMFORTABLE” We stayed in the apartment a couple of years ago and have booked it for September 2012. We received a warm welcome. The location is very good with lots of amenities close by, we left the car behind on several occasions, catching the ferry to Gosport and the Isle of Wight. And it was a short stroll to Gunwharf Quays to see a film or have a meal. It was nice to know we could return and relax in comfort with a good view of the sea and passing ships. If you are interested in staying in this area we would highly recomend this apartment. Response: Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review of your holiday experience at Solent Views. We value all of our guests comments, verbal and in writing and it is always very rewarding to know that our guests have enjoyed their stay, especially when this is reinforced by a return visit. We endeavour to make our guests as comfortable as possible when in residence and continually seek to improve our high level of customer service and accommodations to this end. Thank you Assuring you of our very best attention, with Kind regards.
