Smoking friendly holiday rentals in The Solent

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

I booked the stay at 40 winks for my parents - Sharne is a great host - she reached out as soon as I booked to ensure her place was suitable for their needs as there are stairs leading down to it, just before arrival she asked for their preferred milk choice, a thoughtful touch & sent me a nice message after they left - thank you for making their stay so lovely ❤️ My parents left this feedback about their stay: 40 Winks is a very relaxing retreat, a delightful little flat & Sharne made us feel very welcome. Within walking distance is the village shop and a garden centre - a must for a lunch - delicious! For a quiet, peaceful getaway 40 Winks is perfect

The host was very helpful and in great detail and communication ! The apartment was super clean and in great location in the city! Was very surprised with the necessities of the apartment and will definitely go back!

We had a lovely one night stay at Damian’s place. The Airbnb was spotless and comfortable with all amenities you would need. The only comment I would say is that the parking space is quite tight so would be tricky in a larger car but it was right next to the house so very convenient. Thanks for a lovely stay!

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.

Very convenient and ideally situated. There are two buildings with the same name on that street though.

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!

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

The house and it's location is lovely, and to wake up to the view of the sea from the master bedroom each morning was wonderful. It was extremely windy and the sea was rough when we stayed, but we still managed to get in the sea every morning. We took our own wetsuits, but there are plenty of wetsuits there for guests to use and a great drying room for drying wetsuits etc. The house has everything you could possibly need. One thing I would point out, we were a family with ages ranging from 71 to 2 yrs old, there are a lot of stairs which weren't a problem for us, but should be taken into account.

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

Great stay this week. Lovely, beautifully decorated eclectic house. Accessible to beaches and restaurants. We felt very at home this week and enjoyed the time away!! Thank you.

Great little bungalow attached to a truly wonderful New Forest pub. We ate in the pub and the food was terrific and the service was great. Lovely authentic oldie worldie pub. Highly recommend a stay at this place. Right in the New Forest and not far from the M27 so access was great. Cheers

A great place. The location is beautiful. Lots to do locally and water sports available. Walk into Christchurch within 10 mins. Would definitely recommend a stay.

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 :)

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.

A short notice walking weekend in the New Forest in August meant accommodation was scarce but I found this little gem on Airbnb which turned out to be just 10 minutes from our walking start point in Godsall. After a 14 mile hike on Saturday I was pleased it was just 10 minutes drive to my accommodation and even better that the shower was hot and the kitchen equipped so I could heat up an evening meal. Lovely and peaceful, very pretty spot through the garden. Good internet signal and tv I could watch Netflix and BBCiplayer on, as well as lots of books to read from. The bed was very comfy as well. Unfortunately I didn’t spend long at the cottage as we walked both days but it,s a great spot and good value option for solo travellers.
