Beautiful property and very comfortable beds. Would recommend this place for anyone wanting a relaxing visit to the area.

I have honestly never stayed anywhere that offer so much at such an affordable price.

Room was lovely, the venue was beautiful, the hosts had really thought of everything. It was a great stay.
Everything about the stay was amazing, from the massive bed. Which was really comfy and room really spacious. To the amazing owners and the added areas to relax.
5 Stars
The host (Mimi) was very welcoming and showed us round, she clearly takes pride in her hotel and the facilities were great. The rooms are unique and very nice.
Our room was very comfortable and clean with everything we needed. Our greeting on arrival was friendly and helpful, settling us in quickly and efficiently. Ashbys was the perfect place for us to stay for our short time in Portsmouth. Ideally located close to some great places to eat and easily walkable to Gunwharf Quay.
