Smoking friendly holiday rentals in The Solent

We loved our staying at Lianna’s place. Great location, the house was very clean and with everything we needed! Comfortable bed and for our 8 years old daughter the rocking chair was definitely a plus. Lianna and David were very responsive hosts. We strongly recommend this place .

Really helpful hosts, clean space in a good location would highly recommend

Samuel was a great host, communicative and quick to respond to any messages. Gave top tips for places to visit and was very helpful also, can’t find a fault! Plus being a 5 minute walk from the station its an ideal commute to the city centre.

A cosy stay with our dog. This room enabled us to enjoy an excellent week long stay and explore the island from our base. Judith was easily contactable and there was a small grass area (overlooking the sea) for doggie just at the bottom of the long driveway. Also there’s a footpath there too to get to the seafront. Judith provides some extra touches too thanks

Great place

Everything was clean and orderly. Terry and his parents helped and informed us well. For me as an older person the second floor was a bit strenuous, but the steps were good. The balconys were nice. Terry was always helpful.

Charlotte is a very responsive host. The apartment was very clean & comfortable. The location was perfect. 2 minutes walk to the town & around 5 minutes to the beach. The parking space was such a lovely addition. We were pleasantly surprised with how quiet the surroundings were for a central town location. We would definitely recommend this place if visiting Bournemouth and the surrounding areas again.

Lovely place to stay with easy access to bars, restaurants and shops. Also the ferry port, which was well worth a wander. Having a gated car park was a huge perk, didn't have to worry about where the car was and also free. Perfect for local and also a bit further out, like Portsmouth, Selsey etc would definitely recommend

We stayed at the Grange for 5 nights during half term. The house was beautifully decorated with lots of character and a couple of quirks that you’d expect from an older property. My children loved the terrapins in the duck pond opposite. Bonchurch is beautiful and feels unique to other parts of the island that we saw. There is a lovely seafront walk into Ventnor accessible from the house (very hilly so tricky to navigate if you have accessibility issues but otherwise very nice). Everywhere is reachable by car in a fairly short drive which is a real plus. When we arrived, Carl came over to welcome us and make sure we had everything we needed which was a lovely touch. We asked for a couple of things during the stay and he was very quick to respond/pop over. I injured my hip early in the holiday and so asked if there was a chance of a later check-out which he kindly agreed to. Only mention is that parking is very tight for two cars. All in, a wonderful place to stay with a great host

This was a lovely stay, stayed with various members of my family coming at different points and everyone really enjoyed the place. Would happily stay again!

Very clean and nicely presented. Great location with the new forest only minutes away which was ideal for us as we had our dog with us. Overall great little place to stay.

Great central location for Gunwharf Quay and Old Portsmouth near to harbour Solent, and Millenium Walk around the seafront and historic fortifications. Cafes, Pubs, and Restaurants are all a few minutes away, with Spinnaker Cafe highly recommended and virtually outside the front door. Four-storey townhouse on 4 levels and stairs took a few hours to get used to, but the layout made sense, with the main living room at the top with views across the harbour and Solent. A bonus is the rooftop terrace with views all around, including the Isle of Wight in the distance, but I suggest the extra glass of wine is probably best avoided if you want to get down the spiral staircase safely :-) All in all, it was a great stay, particularly as the weather was perfect for the duration of my stay.

Wonderful quirky house full of charm and character. We had a brilliant stay. Kids loved exploring the house and beautiful garden. In the words of my 5 year old, “best house ever!!!”. The ride on the old 1950’s Leyland double decker bus was a perfect way to end a marvelous break. Thank you to Monty and Claire for being superb hosts. Jon

Fabulous , clean accommodation. Definitely worth booking. Justin was a great host. The recommendations on local attractions were a real plus. Would definitely return!

What an incredible home! Amazing outdoor space and such a quirky interior. It felt very homely! The beach was just a 2 minute walk, so perfect as we had such amazing weather too during our stay! Cannot recommend Ant’s home enough! Thank you

We have had a dream holiday . The house is like a home , well stocked , comfortable beds and furnishings . Its location is s dream as it’s 2 minutes from the beach . 10 stars , delightful . Will definitely return asap 💖💖💖💖💖💖

Very well organised with everything you could possibly need on hand. Good amenities. Comfortable bed, a good shower and terrace. Everything was very clean, toiletries & coffee/tea available, overall great attention to detail and a good experience.

Thank you for a lovely stay and really helpful communications which made everything really straightforward!

excellent place with excellent value, lovely people who are happy to assist you throughout the course of your stay, superb location as well.

I really enjoyed my stay here! The apartment was lovely and a great location only 2mins from the beach!

We had a great weekend staying here, loved the style of the apartment and it was an ideal base for us to explore the area. Really clear instructions for check in etc so all went smoothly, thanks Ryan for a great stay :)

You get your own room and bathroom It matches the pictures , it is a very quiet location, rested properly while staying over with Ross I actually checked it quite late at 8:30 pm and it was totally fine for Ross, he is very responsive and helpful It is hard to rest when its not your own bed somehow this place felt like my own bed Its a bargain for the location and what you get I ve given 5 star reviews to previous places out of respect , Ross’s place is underrated So I took the time to express my sincere opinion and will be staying again

Great, peaceful place to stay in Portsmouth. Close to bars and restaurants, and longer walking distance to other sites in town, including the best maritime museum we have been to anywhere in the world (and we have been to many all over the world). By far the most stocked kitchen we have experienced -- and we stay in many Airbnbs worldwide. The "provided breakfast" included anything you would want to eat and more, and we were there for a week and there was enough for the entire week! There was other food also which we supplemented from a grocery store because we cook most of our own meals (the reason we stay in Airbnbs). The outdoor area is amazing and we used it when weather permitted. The outdoor bathroom is only useable in nicer weather than we had, at least for us. The only drawback was that the loft is much smaller than it seems in the pictures; the ceiling is very low and you can't stand up (and we are very small people). It might be okay for some but not usable for us.

Great place where to rest. close to the city centre walkable distance.
