Likes:
Friendly and welcoming hostess. Good breakfast.
Dislikes:
There was no parking in the street outside the guest house, so it was necessary to park in a nearby street. However, this was quite close.
Response from Abbey Lodge Guest House:
Thanks for your feedback - we have replaced the underblanket.

"Highly satisfactory in location, service, facilities, food and staff service"
The host and hostess were both charming and hospitable, the bedroom and bathroom facilities were pleasant and clean, the breakfast was very good and the range of tv channels was superb. Also, the information booklet in the room overviewing all the house's facilities was very useful. Overall a very enjoyable stay, would definitely recommend to a friend or use again. Read less

Likes:
Linda's friendliness--she helped with our bags, even though it was raining and her breakfast was delicious!
Dislikes:
I'd never used an electric shower before and I had to get my husband switch it on for me. I couldn't figure it out, but that's me. We wished there was a little more room in the shower area.
Response from Abbey Lodge Guest House:
Thanks for your observation we will get some instructions written to put in the shower. Hope you enjoyed your shower in the end.

Abbey Lodge Guest House is the large Victorian town house home of Linda and Mike Forbes, situated in the heart of Southsea. We will be delighted to welcome you into our home. Once you are here, you can relax and enjoy everything we and the local area have to offer.

Abbey Lodge is just a ten minute stroll from the beach and within easy reach of the Historic Dockyard, Heritage Museums, Portsmouth University campus, Gunwarf Quays shopping and entertainment complex, Spinnaker Tower, Kings Theatre and Wedgewood rooms. Ferries to France, Spain and the Isle of Wight are nearby.

Accommodation is provided in nine comfortably furnished rooms, where a cosy and welcoming atmosphere is combined with individual attention. A generous, home cooked, traditional English breakfast is cooked to order for you and vegetarian diets are catered for. The businessman is equally pampered, with free wireless Internet access for his laptop and free UK fax facilities.

Cyclists are welcome and we are happy to store bikes overnight and to keep your luggage safe should you wish to check in early or leave late. We are lucky to be in one of the few areas in Portsmouth without a residents’ parking scheme, so local on-street parking is plentiful and free.
