I stayed for one night (October 7). Sian and Mark are wonderful hosts. I just can't find fault with anything. They are so personable and helpful. Sian accomodated me with a clothes iron and ironing board. She called (very early in the morning) a taxi for me to get to my ferryboat. The room was clean and comfortable. The whole... more

Lovely B&B echoing all the previous good comments. Tips- ask for a map, as Portsmouth is a bit of a Maze, and also read the information about the local places to eat before you go out! (We stayed one night and didn't ask about local eateries and walking back after a meal at Gun Wharf we saw some lovely local... more

Stayed at the Retreat for one night. Great hosts. Excellent location, just a quick walk to Gun Wharf Quays or even closer to some local pubs. Our room was huge and well presented as was the guest house as a whole, the bed was very comfy. Breakfast was lovely. All in all a great base for our time in Portsmouth... more

My wife and I needed to spend one night in the middle of Portsmouth and having seen the price of hotels decided to stay at the Retreat. If we ever go to Portsmouth again we will definitely stay here. Very convenient, lovely large room, excellent breakfast and very friendly hosts. Highly recommended !! more

We stayed for one night only. This was an extra night after a mini cruise that we had after we got married. Couldn't ask to meet a nicer couple. Had a warm welcome on arrival. Everything was explained ie: where to go for a stroll, pubs and where best to dine. Lovely setting when having breakfast. Would certainly recommend and... more

Having previously stayed with Sian and Mark and having been very impressed, my husband and I decided that another short (and child free) break was in order. This time we stayed in the Emanuel suite - an airy and spacious room with a clean and quaint bathroom. Sadly, no mirror with a magic light to entertain me this time, as... more

We stayed for 5 nights. First impression was what a lovely place which was very easy to find. Sian met us when we arrived and showed us to our room. We met Mark later but my first impression when I initally booked the room was 'what a nice man'. The guest house is very clean and well furnished throughout. Breakfast... more

I was then showed to the gorgeous spacious bedroom the "ward suite" which was every bit as beautiful as i had imagined. Very clean, welcoming and luxurious.... more
