Sailmakers loft has a great location. The parking pass an added plus. Bobby, the owner and host is very knowledgeable and gregarious. He made us feel welcomed and spirited conversation with other guests which made our stay far more interesting. Ask for the roof deck; it is well worth the climb and has great views of the harbor. Bobby's friendliness... More

Stopped here after getting off the 21:30 ferry from Le Havre after a motorbiking trip. Bobby, the owner, was very accomodating and let us put 3 of our bikes in his garage. He then showed us to our rooms and seeing we were tired and disheveled said we could settle up next morning and left us to it. Very thoughtful... More

Wow this was recommended to me by nick of boat ability in Portsmouth. Run by Bob who couldn't have been more accomodating.. Lovely unspoilt character property. Not massive rooms but ample and cosy - the rooms with views are fab. I didn't feel I was staying at a B&b but at a friends place. I sat and drooled over the... More

We have just returned from another Sailmakers Loft stay and it was wonderful. It is right on the waters edge opposite The Still & West pub. The top room has uninterupted views of the Solent and Inner Harbour and its boats and ferries coming and going makes an ever changing vista. There are good views of the Spinaker which changes...

We have just returned from our 5th visit in 4 years to both Portsmouth & The sailmakers' loft. This is a fantastic place to stay - the waterfront location has got to be one of the best in this area, and is in easy walking distance of old Portmouth & Gunwharf quays. Mr Bobby Stewart is a very friendly &... More

I booked on very short notice -- I was going to be in Portsmouth to visit and do some research at the submarine museum in Gosport. Bobby was most accomodating, holding my room -- a small, single room -- even though logisitics prevented me from giving him cc info. He did make me promise to tell him about my research... More

This has to have one of the most outstanding views you will find on the waterfront. Mr Stewart is a true Gent in every sense of the word. My partner and I have been to Portsmouth many times and would recommend this to everyone who plans on taking a visit. We have just had to cancel our recent trip which... More

This was our second visit to the B&B and once again we had a lovely stay. This time we stayed with our 3yr old son and it was very accomodating and unlike some of the more formal B&B's we were not bothered about our son getting a little overexcited at times. The views and location cannot be beaten and its... More
