Holiday rentals with lake access in Portsmouth

We have just arrived home after the most wonderful stay at John’s Barn. Bobbie was the perfect host - and the property - well, all you can say is wow! Our transport-mad toddler absolutely loved the tractor, playground and toy chest - and of course, seeing the real tractor, trailer and diggers nearby. We will be back! Thank you for everything Bobbie and family x

We stayed for a long weekend as a family of 3 with our dog. The accommodation was comfortable and had every we needed. The site was all we needed and used the onsite bar/restaurant, swimming pool and shop. The site staff recommended a woodland walk and provided directions which took us in Milford on Sea and was a lovely walk. Samantha was very responsive to any queries we had. Will definitely be visiting again.

Stunning seaside location with direct access to shingle beach. A perfect place to stay any time of year.

great place to stay with the kids only downfall I had was the internet kept cutting out when we was in the caravan

Beautiful place - extremely well equipped for a family stay. Grounds are brilliant especially if you have children or dogs! Loved the wood burner ! Would recommend and would love to return.

Lovely stay, the house was very comfortable, had a good atmosphere and the host was very accommodating.

Lovely stay at Jim's! Had a slight issue with heating but Jim was quick to respond and sort it out. Clean house with good wifi. Would stay again if we visit the area!

We had a wonderful NewYears stay at the dolls house, Victoria is a great host, very responsive. The bathrooms are better than a five star hotel, the beds are comfortable, no trouble sleeping, even though you are in the town, it is quiet. Plenty of restaurants, cafes and pubs, all of which are a very short distance away. It was the perfect place to stay! The only downside was the lock box, very difficult to get too. I really want to stress though, this is no fault of Victoria’s, the rules of a grade listed building state the lockbox can’t be near the door. Unfortunately for us Victoria was away when we stayed, so was unable to let us in, she really worried about that, but it was just one of those things. We are already talking about going back again, we enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you Victoria, we really appreciate all your hard work!

A delightful weekend stay Yaverland - an easy 20 minute walk down the hill to Sandown and in a quiet holiday park - backing onto beautiful trees and nature. Had a lovely walk along the cliffs and spent the day biking around the surrounding towns. The host made every accommodation for guests - well set up with tea, coffee and biscuits there for you on arrival! The chalet has been very thoughtfully renovated, very cleanly, great wifi and large TV for Olympic viewing. A great getaway! We didn’t have a car as we like walking and biking but would advise a car for the Isle of Wight if here for longer as it’s larger than it looks, and this place is not right in the township. Great communication throughout and would definitely recommend it!

Thank you Laura for hosting us at such short notice after our original booking was cancelled last minute. You found us a beautiful place, it was ready for us so quickly and was even more lovely than our original booking. The owner was very friendly, also. It is such a beautiful home, with an outdoor space, a big bed in the main bedroom, beautifully furnished and quiet! We are so grateful to have found your place and will recommend Laura and the property to anyone we know travelling to Arundel. Thanks again.

We booked the place for my family to stay for the night for my graduation so we didn’t really get to do a lot inside the flat. However, the check in is really easy and they were very helpful and responsive. There’s a phone number to call on if you need to reach them and also an office. I honestly thought the place is located in a very nice location (3-5 mins walk to the beach too). The house and rooms are very clean and looks lovely! Would stay again if needed a place to stay on. Lovely host!

We had a great stay the Flat 2was great and very comfortable. The place was very clean and kitchen was great it had everything that we needed when it came to making our food when we were not out and about. The bedroom was perfect and had an extremely comfortable bed I could have slept all day :-). The flat is perfectly loacated and very close to all the main spots I would definitely return to stay here again. The only small downside was the parking which was on a 1st come 1st served basis and was quite difficult to find but the place more than made up for that.

Beautiful location, gorgeous apartment and the extras meant a lot, cereal, bread, eggs, tea and coffee. Very clean and comfortable, I would highly recommend.

Beautiful, cosy and comfortable home. Superb location with wonderful walks along the Promenade. Thanks for the extra touches of warmth and light....a fantastic Host.... thanks for a wonderful holiday xx

Had a really lovely stay, the caravan was well kept and spotless! Very clean bedrooms and bathroom and a lovely balcony area. Warm & cosy and the parking was ideal. Clear instructions on how to check in and find the caravan. I would definitely like to stay again when I'm next in the area!

I would highly recommend staying at Sandra's beautiful cottage. It is so well equipped, comfortable and cosy - a real home from home - and idea for long and short stays. Everything was immaculate and the bed and sofas were so comfy. And Cookie loved the dog bed and bowls that were provided. Sandra has provided lots of ideas for trips and places to eat locally. We will definitely return!

This is our second time staying at Amanda's beautiful cottage and we will continue to come back as long as she'll have us. It's spacious, comfortable, is in a great location, and has plenty of parking nearby. Everything is walkable from her place and it is super easy to get to. There are sights, a grocery, and plenty of shopping and dining nearby. As for the place, the kitchen is perfectly appointed, beds are very comfortable and Amanda was even nice enough to leave us a welcome gift in the refrigerator! Thank you! Communication is perfect every step of the way and the unit is super easy to get into. We love coming to Arundel and will be back! Thank you for another amazing stay, Amanda. Hope to see you / the cottage next year.

We had a wonderful stay at Old Keeper's Cottage, Hazel was a welcoming, communicative and friendly host. I had mentioned that it was my husband's birthday and she left a card and gift for him.on arrival, which was very kind and appreciated. Our family had a fantastic time exploring the woodland and the boat house made a great spot for a picnic. We enjoyed a meal at the Silver Plough locally, a great recommendation from Hazel. We also enjoyed the Dutchtub. As is to be expected, it took some hours to heat up, but once ready it was very relaxing and worth the wait! We loved our stay and would recommend Hazel and her cottage.

Excellent! As soon as we walked in the door, it felt like home. Loved all the little touches. Thank you! Would definitely visit again.

Estuary Cottage was the perfect sanctuary for a couple of days. Tucked away on the edge of the estuary it was ideal for exploring the local area. The property was a great size for my parents and I - it had every thing we needed and was lovely and clean, warm and quiet. Susie was really quick to reply with recommendations for the ferry. I would absolutely recommend for anyone wanting a peace and calm. The Red Lion pub was a short walk through the field and was perfect for an evening drink / dinner.

This is a stunning Airbnb, the location is amazing - you really do wake up to deer, alpacas and wild life out side your window. The property is very very spacious and very high quality. One of if not the best Airbnb we have stayed at.

We spent 3 lovely nights at Jane’s place, which served as a lovely warm, cozy spot for my family and in-laws. The house was beautifully decorated for Xmas and there was a festive hamper waiting for us on arrival. All 3 bedrooms were very comfortable, each with ensuite bathrooms. Whilst the house is located next to a fairly busy road, we weren’t bothered by the noise and the location was just a short drive to the nearby towns and a selection of good eateries (Rosie Lee House and Daisy Tea Garden make great breakfasts /lunches / cakes). Jane is a responsive host and gave us plenty of tips on where to visit. I’m sure the house also makes a great spot during summertime given the expansive front lawn and bbq set.

We have had a fabulous time in Lisa’s holiday home. The accommodation was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay. Warm comfortable good quality furniture and fittings. The enclosed garden was perfect and we felt safe letting our dog out to enjoy the fresh air. Walks on the estate ( and surrounding area ) were excellent and not too tiring. Two local pubs were excellent, good food friendly staff and good value for money. All in all a great holiday and excellent accommodation. Lisa always responded quickly to any questions we had and her son was always around if we had any questions. Finally we needed access to a freezer and host kindly let us theirs. 10 out of 10
