Penny Cottage By The Beach

Property was very close to where we were working for the week. Plenty of space for three of us.

Location of the house is absolutely perfect. The host was very helpful and friendly. Welcome pack at arrival made as feel homely. The house is very cute, good size and set up.

It was spotless. And in a brilliant location and made to feel very welcome. Wanted to book for the next week. But it had already been booked. But I was found another property wich is double as nice so thank you well recommended

Excellent location and well presented with thoughtful touches e.g. electric drying rack. Garage was very useful for a small car. Host was extremely helpful and great communication.

Property was amazing for what I needed and the host was just brilliant as the property didn't show on my app

Nothing as it was prefect

The property was in a great area of southsea, most places are walking distance. The property was very clean, all the basic mod cons making you feel your at home just elsewhere…

The front door lock/key was a bit fiddly, and the rear sliding door was also a puzzle to open/unlock..

We were met at the house by Jozie who had left us a bottle of wine and milk. It is a 3 bedroom house at the end of Penny Lane and walking distance to shops and the sea. Though advertised as sea view, you'd need to walk towards it which is about 5 minutes from the house. There is a school nearby but we have not heard anything from the early morning dropoff nor when school ended. For those who are normally spoiled by Netflix etc at other properties, Penny Cottage does not offer this. However, we did not find the need as our days were kept busy and walking towards the Round Tower in the evening whilst enjoying the sunset, there was no need for Netflix etc. The wifi was good. The bedrooms are all upstairs and there is one bathroom & a downstairs toilet. Good addition when with family. Just need to be careful with the steep stairs. The kitchen was well equipped with a large fridge freezer which is a plus. The rent is on the upper end of what is normally asked for but as it is centrally located to all attractions and restaurants, it was an ok price to pay. A deposit of £250 to be paid 24 hours before arrival which is refunded within the week after departure. All in all we had a good stay.

It is spacious with a garden but we thought the garden furniture could have been of better quality as it was rather rickety and in much need of TLC. Some sort of shade like an umbrella or awning would have been great as the sun belts down from 11 a.m. till around 5 p.m., so we couldn't really sit outdoors when it's too hot without any shade. It also gets really warm indoors, a fan or two would have been welcomed. The bathroom could have done with a vanity bin of some sort. No fans were provided though it was very hot inside.

Clean, spacious accommodation, everything you need and a stones throw from the beach.
