It would be hard to imagine a more welcoming guest house than Gill provides in Portsmouth or anywhere else. We were offered a French-press carafe of excellent coffee upon check-in while enjoying conversation and learning more about Portsmouth and what we should highlight during our brief visit. That welcome was only a prelude to the custom-order breakfast provided in the... More

Just home from a lovely 3 night stay at The Pier. The owner Gill is a lovely host who went out of her way to welcome us. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was great with a huge bed, slightly disappointed to find 'bathroom pods' instead of a normal en-suite but it did everything a usual bathroom does, just... More

A welcome cup of tea from Gill after being shown our lovely room was just what we needed. The room had everything you needed, was charming, comfortable and good value. Breakfast was lovely and Gill very obligingly took us and another couple down to the Historic Dockyard thereby saving us the 8.00gbp for car parking, which was a great saving.... More

My wife and I stayed here after attending a recent family wedding. The Pier is very conveniently placed with access very simple from the M27 and it overlooks the seafront area close to Clarence Pier. It is a well kept Georgian house run by Gill, a friendly and helpful owner. We stayed in Room Number 2 which was immaculately clean... More

Immaculately clean with fresh flowers in the breakfast room and our bedroom, we had a wonderful stay at The Pier in Southsea. Parking was simple, the room was smart, spotless and perfectly maintained. Gill is a wonderful host, warm and friendly, helpful and interested. Our breaskfast was great - a full English with toast and jams, homemade set yoghurt and... More

The good things: - Owner was good and kind - The B&B itself was OK and the room was spacious, warm and big enough - Location was good, about 15 mins from Train station Portsmouth Harbr and 12 mins from the spinaker tower. It is also nicely located if you are going for some walking as well because it is... More

Thank you for your comments and glad that you enjoyed the room and breakfast and were warm enough as it was freezing out! unfortunately you stayed at Easter which is a premium price, had you stayed a few days earlier or later it would have been £65.00 per night. I have changed the text in my visitor information with booking.com... More
