Really enjoyed our stay at Ashbys. Steve and Mubi were warm, welcoming and helpful and the room and public spaces (lounge / games room, kitchen, bar area) were comfortable and well equipped. It was clear that a lot of thought has been given to making Ashbys a unique place to stay: welcoming, relaxing and fun. A great location too for the bars, seafront and Southsea attractions!
Our bathroom window needed a blind - more for the neighbours than anything! - and the bedroom a second bedside table and lamp, but these were just minor gripes that didn't spoil our stay. We would definitely come back. Thank you.

Great check in experience - picked up the key from next door and given a detailed tour of the wide ranging facilities.
The superior doublw was a large spacious room with a super king size bed provided a very comfortable night's sleep.
Great shower although the shower room needs some TLC.
Excellent value for money.

Booked the Ashby's House last minute and asked if they were able to do any special requests for my partner's birthday. They definitely delivered! The hosts Steve and Mubi are so personable, friendly and professional. The room was immaculate. They even played happy birthday and had an LED birthday sign up on our arrival in the room which was such a nice touch.
The spa was amazing! And such a great idea to have it as private booking for the hour it definitely makes the experience just that much more.
10/10 on every aspect
I will be recommending this place to friends and family :)

Absolutely amazing stay, it’s not always easy to find good accommodation within the “business budget” but this was perfect, when checking in we mentioned that we we’re staying away from home to work nightshifts and that we had booked for a quieter stay and instantly they sorted us out and made sure our rooms were in quiet parts of the hotel and that out stay was comfortable. Could not thank them enough for making our stayaway much more pleasant. We will be sure to stay again in a few weeks when we’re next working down there😁. 10/10.

We did not get the room we booked. We booked a superior family room (2 beds and sofa) and received a standard family room (one bed and sofa). Owners probably assumed the two adults booked for were a couple, but we were not. Therefore sofa bed had to be used. To be fair I did not mention during our stay, due to a very long day and a whirlwind check in and it didn’t Dawn on me until later and as we were only staying one night we put up with it. Also, the room was up a very narrow very steep flight of stairs. Slightly concerning security (codes on room doors with no other way of locking from the inside) and the main building door unlocked. The plumbing was a problem in our room as the hot / cold water were the wrong way round on the taps, hot water was very hot so could be dangerous to children. Having said all that, the owners were extremely friendly and helpful, there were great facilities in the hotel (large sitting / recreation area), the room was large, comfortable and well appointed. Good access to Southsea and beach, 30 min walk from Gunwharf Quay, parking is on the street (paid) or in public car parking.

This was a last minute booking for us, yet they fit us in, made the room up perfectly for three friends sharing one room. They even fit us into the spa last minute! The communal area was amazing, in fact the whole hotel was beautifully presented. Nothing was to much trouble from the hosts and the facilities were like nothing I’ve seen before. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend to others!

Nice adjoining Hotels, work in progress but comfortable stay in quality bed and sheets, my only complaints are very noisy in my room which had the water pump in a room at the rear, and as usual annoying guests who think it’s perfectly acceptable to bang doors and have tv at very loud levels until very late.
Hotel itself very good, hosts very nice, location by small high street and 10min walk to sea

Steve and Mubi were absolutely amazing!!! Such a lovely couple. They had sorted our parking, a fan for the room, just anything we needed they didn’t hesitate to provide it for us so that we were comfortable. The room was absolutely beautiful too, kitchen area was spotless and the bed was very comfy. TV included all Netflix and prime too so hugeee selection of films to watch on the sofa. You definitely get more than what you pay for id say! Lovely area too with plenty of things to do nearby and restaurants to eat at. The only thing I’d change is that I wish we had stayed longer. Couldn’t thank these guys enough!!! We will be back x

A little quirky - in a nice way - but we had a really good stay; arrival was fine and we were made to feel welcome. So convenient for everything and probably more suited to a longer stay than just our overnight. Would go back again without any hesitation.

Very welcoming and helpful, facilities great.
Disappointing that the hot tub was chargeable at £25 per person for 1 hours use,, heat and steam also £25 person..
so for the two of us it would of been £100 😵💫. Would rather have paid a bit extra for the room and had use of them for free,,

A lovely stay at a unique hotel. The owner was lovely and really accomodating, the fact that we had cooking facilities in the room and more downstairs made staying with a toddler easy. The extras such as the games room just made the stay really. There is also a childrens hunt around the hotel which our daughter enjoyed. A lovely stay and we will definately be back.

Steve was a fantastic host & the rooms were extremely comfortable and full of everything you could possibly need for a night or two away. The property is in a great location for walks on the promenade or exploring the great cafes & restaurants in the area. The Farm Kitchen was a brilliant recommendation for breakfast.

The hotel is of a good standard. My bed was uncomfortable as it was a sofa bed but the king size one in the room was great. The host was very obliging and changed it immediately. Loads of parking nearby and not too expensive in the car park at rear of property. Overall happy and would stay again 👍

The property offered good facilities if you were in a group. A lift would have been a bonus when travelling with a baby and heavy luggage.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ashby’s. I booked on the strength of the reviews and it didn’t disappoint. We loved the communal areas -our kids had the best fun playing air hockey and table football. The kitchen attached to our room was really handy. Great location and lovely and clean.
