Solent House The South East
Luxury accommodation in a traditional seaside setting
Solent House is a handsome villa on a quiet residential road, just 30 seconds' walk from the seafront at Southsea in Portsmouth. Here, you can gather all the generations of the family, or come as a group of families, for a good, old-fashioned, seaside holiday. Not that there’s anything old fashioned about this stunning property. It’s like having a boutique hotel all to yourselves, with well-appointed en-suite bedrooms, sleeping up to 20, and spacious, beautifully furnished living areas for when you all get together. The luxuries extend to a cinema room, a TV lounge with Netflix, Amazon TV, Sky and BT Sports, and even a bar with optional cocktail and drinks packages. Outside, for sunny and not so sunny days, there’s a sauna and hot tub house and an outdoor kitchen and barbecue house. Take advantage of the optional catering service too, including a delicious breakfast package, as well as onsite spa treatments, for a truly relaxing holiday. Solent House is at the heart of this thriving seaside suburb of Portsmouth, with bars, restaurants, independent shops and entertainment all within walking distance. There’s plenty of off-road parking too, and Portsmouth, Southampton and Winchester are within easy driving distance.

Southsea has a huge expanse of green known as Southsea Common; just minutes from Solent House. It’s a great space to relax, but also home to a large number of events including the Southsea Show, Military Vehicle Show, Para Spectacular, Kite Festival, a variety of circuses, and the popular Victorious Festival.
Portsmouth by Night
If dancing and celebrations are in order, the bars and clubs of Gunwharf Quays come alive at night, with restaurants open until late and the bars open even later. Grab a drink or two overlooking the boats bobbing in the Solent, then head inside to dance away the wee hours.
