About this house rental

A small quirky Grade II listed house situated in the heart of Southsea. Fantastic central location for Southsea Common, Southsea shopping precinct and Old Portsmouth. Please be advised that the staircase is steep and not suitable for anyone with limited mobility or young children who are not confident walkers. ( I can provide a stair gate at the bottom of the stairs but none are available upstairs).

After an exciting day exploring the sights of Portsmouth and Southsea come home to this cosy terrace cottage in this friendly residential area.

Full internet access and smart TV to access your own Netflix or other online media accounts are provided for your entertainment should you wish to have a quiet night in. The small nature of the property means that there is only one double and a single seater sofa in the snug lounge area as seen in the photos...plus two small wooden arm chairs for extra seating. Alternatively there is a wide selection of pubs and restaurants within easy walking distance. (from 2 - 10 minutes walk).

It has a feature wooden spiral staircase leading up to the 2 double bedrooms and higher still into the dual aspect attic space where a two single beds are located.

The original building has been extended to the rear where the neat bathroom and well appointed kitchen are both located on the ground floor. Both bathroom and kitchen posses sky lights to give that extra feeling of light.

The small enclosed courtyard at the rear houses the freezer, washing machine and drying area.

All bed linen and towels are provided.

Scratch card Parking Permits( KD Zone) will be provided for the duration of your stay and possibly once parked you will be able to explore the delights of the area on foot and forget about your car until you leave.

Parking is not guaranteed in the parking zone but there is plenty of paid for parking available around the common extremely close to the property for most of the year. Parking around the common is restricted close to the August bank holiday due to the Victorious Festival...please ask for more info before booking at this time.

We stayed here recently for our sister's wedding nearby. The accommodation was perfect for us and our family. The location was perfect. Loads of little shops near by. Parking was a doddle. Can't wait to return to Portsmouth again and we will definitely be staying here. X

Spice Cottage was exactly as described in the listing: a wonderful historic house convenient to Southsea and Portsmouth attractions. Beautiful woodwork (and stairs) give the feeling of staying in an antique ship without setting sail. The rooms are thoughtfully equipped and the kitchen well stocked. Our host was responsive and welcoming and made sure we had what we needed. What more could one want? Highly recommended.

Spice Cottage in Southsea was perfect for our family. It is in walking distance to the shore, shopping, the train and the Hoverport to Isle of Wight. Alison has thought of everything you might need, and is so helpful. The staircase is so unique & fun, too! Would definitely stay here again.
