Dairy House - a house that sleeps 16 guests in 7 bedrooms
About this house rental
Situated in Gosport, this charming house for $581 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. The Dairy House is a superb sprawling detached Victorian house situated a minute from the foreshore of Portsmouth Harbour with views over the water from the large lounge and 2 of the 7 bedrooms. Set in the southern coastal town of Gosport, Hampshire with 3 nearby beaches, the house is only 1 minute from the foreshore of Portsmouth Harbour and is a 4 minute ferry ride to Portsmouth and Gunwharf Quays which has over 90 designer retail outlets, 30 restaurants/cafes/bars, a cinema, bowling alley, casino, nightclub and The Spinnaker Tower, the UK's 2nd tallest publicly accessible building. Each of the 7 bedrooms have superior quality kingsize double beds which can separate to create 2 singles and are made up with crisp white cotton linen and fresh white towels for each guest. 2 of the bedrooms are 'family rooms' which can sleep a 3rd and 4th person plus the 3 large sofas within the lounge convert to make extra beds for extra guests if required. For guests with limited mobility there is the choice of 2 bedrooms and a shower room on the ground floor. The 5 high spec bathrooms all have quality fitted showers and the main 1st floor bathroom is also fitted with a sumptuous corner bath (complete with giant duck)! The kitchen comes fitted with all essential mod cons, a large range style gas cooker, washing machine, dishwasher, an American style fridge freezer, etc and there is even a second fridge freezer if required. The adjacent dining room is home to a splendid large oak 16 seater dining table with 16 dining chairs plus a smaller overspill table and 4 chairs to allow dining for 20. The lounge also seats up to 20 where you can view the goings on in the Harbour and across to Portsdown Hill and beyond. In addition the property boasts a super fun games room with a pool/snooker table, table tennis table, a 50" TV & Wii plus plenty of games to keep young and old amused. There is the conservatory off the dining and games room where it is lovely to escape with your morning tea and toast and enjoy the first of the morning sun. Finally there are the gardens, the front laid mainly to the drive for up to 5 vehicles and the rear being accessed from French doors from the dining room, games room and conservatory with a raised flagstone patio with table, chairs and parasol, an all weather artificial lawned area and a large hard standing with table and chairs. You can also hire in a Hot Tub, if desired (Conditions apply - please contact us for further details). The Dairy House only accepts 'family groups' consisting of both adults and children during April - September and over New Year Period. However if you are an all adult group during April - September we can recommend our other properties which do not have the same level of constraints. Our prices advertised are for up to 16 people but we can accommodate 2/4 more people within the bedrooms on John Lewis bed chairs or futon style bed cubes and we have 3 double bed settees within the lounge with the additional guests over 16 being charged at a rate of £50 per week/part week per head or we charge £25 per set of extra linen requested. All linen and towels are provided and are changed weekly with a mid week maid service available on request. Child cots, highchairs and stairgates are also available at no extra cost. (Guests are requested to bring their own child's bedding please) * Please note the following before booking :- If your group consists of all adults (and no children) please contact us before booking as previously mentioned some dates within the year are not available for adult only bookings All our properties are located within residential areas so we do have neighbours whom we need to consider. If you feel you could comfortably monitor noise levels (in particular out in the gardens and outside areas into the evenings) then we would love to have you stay and have had countless group gatherings who have had a great time with us at our properties. If however you feel that it would not be possible to monitor noise levels, then you may wish to consider something more rural, without neighbours. In addition to the rental cost we do take a £500 refundable damages deposit, which is fully refundable within 7 working days of your departure, obviously subject to no significant damages or excessive cleaning.

Family Weekend
We really enjoyed this property and had a fantastic weekend despite the weather. The property is very comfortable and really well equipped with everything you could need. The facilties are fantastic, layout of the property is great and the pool table was a real bonus for the kids!
Communication with the owner and management company was really straightforward and reassuring. This property has a real feel of quality and we found it perfect for a weekends stay.

Our stay included 11 adults (2 with mobility issues) and 6 children (including 2 babies). The house was perfect, spacious inside and out with all the facilities we needed and more. Ken and his team were excellent in ensuring our booking and check in/out was all managed well and provided advice on nearby services we needed. The cleanliness of the home was excellent it’s clear the home has been well looked after.
We walked to the local pub Jolly Rodger which was nice and on our last day learned about more bars etc we could have visited within a short walking distance. One evening we ate at Fratellis which we absolutely recommend and really enjoyed. We took a day trip to Portsmouth and another day trip to the Isle of Wight which was beautiful.
The only concern we had was the rude next door neighbour. The description on vrbo didn’t provide details about the house being in residential area and their being a noise policy. Being on holiday and weather beautiful we would sit outside in the garden. On our first evening the neighbour shouted at us to go to bed (at10pm)complaining about the noise (us sitting in the garden talking) telling us we were going to be “kicked out the following morning”. He then phoned Ken. Given the reminders around the house about noise levels and warnings of charges payable should Ken be called out due to noise, we have no doubt this neighbour is most likely unhappy living next to a holiday home and complains frequently. He certainly made us feel like naughty school kids not grown adults on a family holiday. The issue was dealt with and no more complaints made (as far as we were aware) but it did put a dampener on first evening.
Overall we would certainly recommend for a family holiday but we won’t be staying at this property again due to the neighbour and noise policy.

Short break at beautiful property
We recently stayed Mon-Fri at this property in Gosport. It is a large seven bedroom, 5 bathroom house. The house has 2 bedrooms on the first floor with a separate shower room, 4 bedrooms on the middle floor, of which 2 are ensuite, and also separate shower room and bathroom. Then a large attic room with two beds. We stayed as two families as a party of 8, all over 18. It was so lovely for the kids (young adults) to have a room each and a perfect space. The games room was an amazing space with a pool table, which converted into a table tennis table. There was also a nintendo wii, which we hadn't played for years, but was a nice touch! Lots of fun had by everyone. The large sitting room was on the first floor and was a lovely room, very light and airy with a view over the boats in the harbour. Also a large garden with two separate seating areas to catch the sun at different times of the day. The kitchen was slightly smaller in respect of the size of the house, but had everything that we needed. There was a large american style fridge freezer in the kitchen and also another freezer out in the shed area, so more than enough room to store all food/drinks that we needed. Amazingly clean all the way through, no concerns at all about hygiene. The location in Gosport was great, just a few minutes walk from two local pubs. The Jolly Roger was great, we attended a quiz night there, and won! and also had a meal there another evening, it's a perfect local pub. Would thoroughly recommend for families of all ages.

Fantastic family weekend
Lovely property, very homely feel, extremely well equipped. Loved the games room and all of the games provided. Lots of fridge/freezer space and a real bonus having the shed with extra cold storage. Nice walk down to the sea front. The ferry to GunWharf was great and quick also easy to get to. The staff and communication was brilliant, from the initial booking, confirmation of bed arrangements to meeting Ken at the house.

An excellent property
We rented this property for our Golden Wedding weekend celebration with friends and family. It was spacious, comfortable and well maintained. The games room meant that the younger members of the family were well entertained whilst the more ‘sedate’ friends and family could enjoy conversations without interruption! A most enjoyable weekend.

Great house for a large group
Extremely well-equipped, versatile & comfortable large house in a good location. Plenty of room & spacious enough to keep our group (ages 3 to 91) entertained even in winter. On a quiet street but just a few steps to waterfront & pubs. Easy access to Portsmouth on the ferry & numerous attractions within a short drive. Kitchen incredibly well-equipped with plenty of fridge/freezer space. Would definitely recommend.

Harley family party
we hired the Dairy House for 18 of us for a family birthday celebration, weather was great so we utilised the outdoor BBQ a lot and ate outdoors mostly. Lovely clean rooms and great for the kids with the games room and conservatory. None of them could beat me at wi tennis which I was rather pleased with! Plenty of crockery and cutlery and cooking pots and pans etc and everything has been thought about. I'd say you would have to be very well organised to knock out a lot of meals as the kitchen is not huge but theres plenty of fridge capacity for food and drink. Overall everyone loved it and for a large group the location is good close to pubs and short ferry ride to Portsmouth harbour

Perfect property for a family holiday
We had a fantastic family holiday. This property was perfect for our party of 5 week old to 86 year old. There was plenty of space for everyone and it is very well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed the games room, the garden, the BBQ and strolls along the sea front. We will be recommending it to anyone considering a similar gathering. Thank you for the perfect holiday!

Excellent House for large groups
The property was great, perfect for large groups. The only thing that felt cramped at times was the kitchen, everything else was spacious and never felt crowded for our 17 strong group. Good provision of pots/pans, cooking implements and plenty of drinking implements!
The actual area felt a little run down but it was lovely to be walking distance to the coast and close to amenities. Providing the local walking maps was great and information in the folder was great. Fabulous to have the table tennis and pool table as well as a few board games for younger ones too was a bonus. Saved on car space to be offered a travel cot and an amazingly clean highchair too.
A little frustrating that HomeAway didn’t have the correct price, despite the owners telling them repeatedly. Very easy to book and great communication, all very easy. Easy form to fill out providing information on our stay.

The house exceeded all our expectations. It was well stocked with everything we needed. The Christmas tree and decorations gave us a warm welcome and the owner Ken, couldn’t have been more a abligeing.
The games rom was a hit with the children and adults.
Local pubs in close proximity and ideally situated for Gunwharf where ther were excellent restaurants, shopping and entertainment. 10 thumbs up.

A House for all seasons and reasons
This has been our third visit to this property. We have always been delighted, not easy to achieve being a family of 15 aged from 7 to 77. We particularly enjoyed the short walk along the road to see the new Aircraft Carrier. Fort Brockworth was also only a short walk away and was enjoyed by everyone.

A very well equipped property - we loved our stay!
Thank you we much enjoyed our stay in this interesting house. It was obvious the house was very well equiped for large numbers even though we did not need to use everything.
The bedrooms were very nice with lovely good quality beds and crispy white sheets and towels - and plenty of them! The games room at the back leading on to the garden was also a great success for us
The owner welcomed us and showed us around even though we arrived well after schedule on the Friday evening. We were all in all very impressed by the information given both before our arrival and during our stay.

Clean and well equipped.
We have enjoyed a family get together. We found the house had everything you could wish for. Only a couple of things to note in the kitchen were the kettle and oven tins could do with updating.
We all loved using the games room and the large dining table was ideal for some special meals altogether.
