Whitwell Loft

Whitwell Loft is a two-bedroom loft flat in Southsea, sleeping four, a few minutes' walk from Canoe Lake, the seafront and South Parade Pier. Skylights fill the open-plan living space with light, and dogs are welcome.

Who it suits

Couples, small families and friends who want to be close to the beach, and people working in Portsmouth who want somewhere calm to come back to. Guests mention how quiet it is, and how close the beach, the shops and Albert Road's bars and restaurants are.

Sleeping and bathroom

One bedroom has a small double bed and the other has two singles. The bathroom has a walk-in shower, and towels and toiletries are provided.

Living and cooking

The open-plan living and dining area has a sofa, a smart TV and a fold-out dining table, with fast Wi-Fi throughout. The kitchen has an oven, microwave and coffee machine, with tea and coffee to get you started, and there's a washing machine for longer stays.

Outside and parking

There's no garden, but Canoe Lake and the seafront promenade are on your doorstep for walks, and dogs are welcome (£50 per pet when you book here). Parking is on the street in a residents' permit zone; ask us about a permit before you arrive.

Around Southsea

Canoe Lake, the seafront and South Parade Pier are about four or five minutes' walk, Albert Road about 10 and Southsea Castle about 16, and you can walk the flat promenade all the way to Old Portsmouth. By car, Gunwharf Quays and the Spinnaker Tower are about 7 to 8 minutes away and the Historic Dockyard about 11. Fratton station is around 28 minutes on foot.
