Guestbook for Solent Views
Some of our guests comments:
Thank you so much for the stay at your apartment we all enjoyed it so much. Thank you for your friendly and warm welcome too. You have a lovely apartment in such a great location. Roy and Sharon
We have been visiting Old Portsmouth for 20 years now and have always stayed at the Holiday Inn, Southsea. "Solent Views" has now given us a fantastic alternative. The apartment is in a prime location with fantastic views and a short walk from all the attractions of Old Portsmouth, Southsea, Gunwharf and the Historic Dockyard. The apartment was superb and offered great accommodation for both ourselves and our small children giving us plenty of space to relax after a hectic day of shopping and sightseeing!! We look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Angela and Gary
We had a lovely time in Portsmouth, the flat is in a wonderful position and is very cosy. We were so lucky with the weather, the sun in the living room was great and the views were spectacular. We have become very good at identifying the different ships!
Margaret and Graham
Location, Location, Location! Photos don't do the apartment it justice! Wonderful views, very comfortable beds and accommodation. Lovely peaceful area of Old Portsmouth but close to all attractions - we loved watching the boats pass by. Dawn and Mehdy
