Townhome holiday rentals in The Solent

My husband and I stayed at the Auction House for two weeks in March while visiting our daughter, son in law and our new grandchild. The location was perfect! We were able to walk to our daughter’s home as well as enjoy downtown Ryde restaurants in the evening. Christine and Terry were great hosts. Their home is very nice, clean and has everything you need to feel at home. We especially loved our welcome treat. We will definitely return to the Auction House in the future.

Excellent accommodation. All there and high quality. Clear instructions to reach the place. Not mentioned or photographed but property is VERY close to train line. Can hear and feel all trains going past and/or stopping at Brockenhurst station. Actually, you zone out of it very quickly, so it wasn't disturbing. And flip side is that location is amazing if coming by public transport - Brockenhurst station is 15 seconds walk away!!! Also best kitted out kitchen ever stayed in - all items worked and were good quality. Fabulous functional, light space downstairs especially. Shower room perfect. Heating worked too, no issues. Would highly recommend overall, but to be aware of train station proximity in case it bothers you.

A great location with an easy walk into Cowes. We loved the view from the sitting room window out to sea and watching the boats and ferries coming and going. The house was just as pictured and described with easy communication from the hosts. Thank you

What a slice of heaven! Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway or something family friendly, this beautiful 17th century cottage is perfect. It had all the modern amenities without sacrificing charm or historic touches. We enjoyed the spacious back garden too! Matthew’s check in instructions were so helpful- even including a photo of the parking area right around the corner. We also really appreciated the thorough restaurant recommendations so we could make reservations well in advance and not worry about the added research. Our toddler loved exploring the lovely streets of Beaulieu with us and seeing the docile donkeys and horses. Excellent cafes and restaurants are all within a 2 minute walk. We feel so fortunate to have enjoyed a fantastic extended weekend here. Don’t hesitate to book this!

Brilliant 4 night stay at Crossroads. It felt like a home from home - with everything we could ask for and more. Communication was great, and the house was even nicer than the photos. The little touches like food essentials were really appreciated after a long journey too. Will definitely return.

Excellent accommodation, well equipped and in a lovely location. Lots of information available about the Island. Great base for exploring.

We stayed here as a family of 7 (5 adults, 10 year old and 8 month old) during the Easter holidays. The house is perfectly positioned for walking into Ventnor. We spent a few afternoons sitting outside the Spyglass Inn which was lovely. Also recommend Craves Icecreams! Getting around the island is easy and ee enjoyed many days out (the weather was kinder than we had thought!) Parking can be tricky, i wouldnt want to try and find a space in the height of summer, but we always found one! The house had everything we needed, however, there are lots of stairs! So not ideal for any visitors less able. Fine for us! Caroline was the perfect host, always quick to reply to any messages before and during our stay and we were able to enter the property slightly earlier due to no one having been there the previous week. We 1000% recommend the "Fighting Cocks Inn", we have been previosuly and again, it didnt disappoint! Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

Fantastic property, great location in town centre, but once inside feels like you are in the heart of the countryside. Very well presented with plenty of towels, good linen etc. Host very helpful and friendly.

beautiful house, stunning decor throughout, not the normal 'sterile' places you can book, it is filled with thought and attention to detail. Great location, so close to the Historic Docklands and great bars and cafes.

We had a lovely stay in Cowes! Donna and Martin were great host – really friendly and made us feel right at home. The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed and was ideally located. Would highly recommend

We had a fantastic stay whilst getting away over Easter with a group of friends. The house is very well located, offered great accommodation and was great value for money. Jo couldn’t have communicated better, and was on hand for anything we needed before, during and after our stay. We would all highly recommend staying at the house. Thanks so much Jo.

The presentation of this property is simply immaculate. Pastries and fresh flowers (and plenty more) greet you on your arrival. The attention to detail in the decor is next level. You will want Rachel to come around and do the interior decorating at your own home after seeing this. There are more sitting rooms than you will possibly be able to use. There is actually not much point to reviewing this place: all you need to know is that if you are going to Chichester and surrounds, do yourself a favour and stay here if you possibly can.

We had a great stay in Chichester in this lovely town house. Although it’s right on the road, the road is fairly quiet at night so did not disturb us (we have a baby too!) The house is beautiful and in a fantastic location right on the canal where we enjoyed a lovely evening walk. Tom was a great host and responded quickly to any questions. Would stay again. Thankyou!

We had a nice stay. The house is located only 10 minutes walk away from the center with all the nice reviews and bars. It was a little bit too small for 4 adults and 2 kids but overall comfortable enough. Sebastian responded in seconds to all our inquiries. Thank you!

A stay at this gorgeous little home is highly recommended . Beautifully peaceful , easy access to great restaurants , lovely walks along the river.A walk to Harnham through the water meadows is a must do ! A very relaxing quiet place , a place to unwind but in the heart of the town .

Brilliant location and a very cosy property - we felt at home straightaway. Amazing Italian restaurant just up the road, lots to do locally and good access to the rest of the island.

Family friendly home, nice touch with leaving the Easter eggs for the kids. Close to beach and a friendly environment. Would definitely book again

It was a birthday weekend but my daughter also had some urgent shopping. We were able to combine the two with plenty of scope for eating out together, getting to know the City whilst doing the shopping and then a loverly walk up St Catherine's Hill and along the river. A very successful short break.

A beautiful house which is very well presented and spacious. The house is well equipped and felt like home straight away. Our 2 dogs loved having the back garden too and settled in well. It was lovely to arrive to a warm house which was decorated with a lovely Christmas tree ( we had arranged with Beth that we would be arriving after midnight due to a late crossing). A short walk into Cowes town centre. We had one minor issue which was promptly sorted by Beth.. The parking issue was not a problem as we could always park around the corner on the next road. Unloading the car was quite easy as the road is quiet with hardly any traffic. We normally stay in Ventnor or Shanklin. However, we loved our stay so much that we hope to visit again soon. Thank you so much and we wish you all the very best and a Happy New Year!

The house is very large and in a fantastic location. The host is very helpful and we will definitely return. Thank you

We had a great time. The Airbnb was very clean and tidy, and very modern. The TV was an excellent addition. The hosts gave us some great recommendations for cafes and restaurants in the area, and were very responsive. We would definitely stay again if we are in the area. I would highly recommend

Had great stay house is short walk to city centre in a nice quiet area. The house is nice and clean and warm in these cold days . Hosts very easy to communicate with

We had a great time at Palermo Villa. It's beautifully decorated and the perfect location for exploring Southsea Common, the seafront and some lovely Portsmouth bars and restaurants. Nicola is a great host, quick to respond to messages and the house is spotless! Highly recommend.

The space was vey clean and comfortable,I love there
