Marine House United Kingdom

Marine House holds a brilliant location within the popular South Coast resort of Southsea, within easy walking distance of the beach and a variety of helpful amenities, including shops and restaurants. The vibrant city of Portsmouth with its excellent shopping at Gunwharf Quays and range of historical attractions is less than a 10-minute drive away!

The home, under the same family ownership as New England Mansion, has been lovingly modernised to the same high standards, boasting contemporary interiors and beautiful furnishings throughout. Marine House can comfortably accommodate up to fifteen adults and seven children across its nine fabulously-appointed bedrooms.

The ground floor is home to your remaining living spaces and one of your luxurious bedroom suites. The living room enjoys a striking royal blue and white colour palette, sumptuous sofas and love seats which everyone seems to rush for, a wonderful feature fireplace and a large television with Sky Q. Just next door is the highly impressive cinema room with its 85 inch screen, Apple TV, Netflix, Amazon TV and PS4. You might find it difficult to get your children to leave this brilliantly appointed room. There is a comfy corner sofa as well as two chairs that recline. There is usually a race for those too! At the far end of the hall, you will find the bar. It is just brilliant for groups of friends and family. Wannabe mixologists can have a lot of fun! Beyond the bar you will find a beautifully decorated, large bedroom suite comprised of one room with a comfy kingsize bed, an adjoining room with a single bed, a pristine ensuite shower room and access to the garden. This suite is ideal for a family with a child.

There are five gorgeous bedroom suites on the first floor, three with kingsize beds and ensuite shower rooms, one with a single bed and an ensuite shower room and another with fun bunk beds ideal for children. Children love them! Even this bedroom has its own shower room! All of the bedrooms are very tastefully finished, mostly neutral in colour palettes but with the odd splash of vibrant colour. You will find some contemporary wallpapers and a range of luxury throws, curtains and scatter cushions. There is plenty of space for everyone’s holiday wardrobe and crisp cottons and fluffy towels for all.

The remaining three bedroom suites are found on the second floor, one with a kingsize bed and ensuite shower room, another with a kingsize bed, indulgent in-room bath and an ensuite shower room and the final family room with a kingsize bed, two snuggler chair sofa beds, an in-room bath and an ensuite shower room. It is rare to find a holiday home with this many luxury bedroom suites!

Guests can spend their evenings dining alfresco in the garden, making use of the outdoor kitchen and barbecue house. While the young ones are busy enjoying a movie or on playstation, you might also enjoy a dip in the hot tub or a session in the sauna. There is a Sonos sound system throughout the house so you can listen to your favourite tunes while you relax.
Outside, spend Summer evenings dining al fresco and making use of the outdoor kitchen and barbecue house. Afterwards, enjoy a relaxing dip in the hot tub or unwind in the sauna.
* On request, a single bed can be added to two of the king-size double rooms, raising capacity to a maximum of 22 guests, due to the family nature of some of the bedrooms it would work best for a group of 15 adults & up to 7 children. Please note that there will be an additional charge for any additional adults over the number of 15 – please see the T&Cs tab for details.
