“This adults-only boutique in a Grade 2 listed Georgian building, places you steps from Portsmouth's historic ships and the Spinnaker Tower. Though I noted some potential value discrepancies in the larger rooms, the prime location, secure parking, and excellent breakfast remain compelling. If a quiet, central escape is what you seek, this could be a very smart choice.”
