Lovely atmosphere and a very cute private bar. A little historical escape.

Friendly cosy B&B. Quaint bar. Great rooms. Good quality continental breakfast buffet.

Stay here if you enjoy history and personable owners!!

We had a lovely stay, we would definitely recommend and return as soon as we can.

Wonderful, unique hotel great value for money and hosted by two lovely and attentive hosts. Highly recommended on all counts. The cosy bar is an cosy, inviting social gathering centre for nearby residents and guests alike and a place to be social and make new friends.

Wonderful staff, lovely rooms, and a beautiful property. We stayed in the "China" room. An excellent choice as an upgrade over a "basic" hotel. The included breakfast was generous and there is a private members-bar on site that we were able to visit in the evening to chat with locals.

Just an absolutely wonderful old and historic hotel. The location was perfect for exploring the harbour and the Naval museums. Our host was a minefield of interesting and useful information, and couldn’t have been friendlier. We were there for 4 nights and it was a truly great stay.

Lovely and unique little boutique hotel, with wonderful service.

Simply magical building, lovely room and charming attentive service!

One night stay for Victorious Festival, and a great location for Southsea Common and the ferries/hovercraft. Despite it being a packed weekend in the city, the owners sorted parking at the school next door, and provided significant email information in advance of the stay. Super friendly establishment, completely unique property, a great location surrounded by local history, an excellent breakfast, a well stocked bar, and an incredible hidden garden. The rooms had everything expected and were decorated in a suitable, if quirky, manner, that certainly made you feel welcome.

What a wonderful property, We were looked after by Ian (the owner) and Alex and felt at home from the minute we arrived. The house is exquisite and the gardens lovely. Thankfully the weather was good which was an added bonus. Thoroughly recommend this property and will be back very soon.

A very pleasant experience overall Beautiful artifacts everywhere Garden was a lovely in the sun Only disappointment was no offer of hot food for breakfast

Just good for price

Quirky

Excellent host, cosy and quirky rooms, brilliant location for the centre and Gunwharf Quays, Delicious continental breakfast and free parking. Will stay again when visiting Portsmouth.

Very helpful staff, great history

Incredible history, fantastically helpful staff and a great location. Perhaps could consider not using small plastic bottles for their soaps. Also there is a toothbrush holder which has toothpaste at the bottom, but I just don’t use it. Finally door lock is difficult to use as clearly an original. Other than that, bedding is clean and bed is stunning! Room incredible; I highly recommend.

Absolutely charming stay! This place is a little gem! Stunning old historic building with friendly, helpful & engaging staff. Loved it and will definitely be back!

Atmosphere was awesome. Ian was so friendly and also helpful. We want to come back and just soak up the comfort and ambiance of Ye Spotted Dogge. It was close to everything we wanted to do.

Really lovely place to stay!
