Port Solent's marina is about 10 minutes on foot.

An open-plan room with navy panelling, a corner sofa and a Smart TV, facing the water. On a clear day you can see Portchester Castle from the sofa.

Fast Wi-Fi, a desk and chair by the window, fans for warm weather, heating controlled at each radiator, an iron and a hair dryer.

A private, enclosed patio garden at the back, with seating for four.



Travelling with children

Children and babies are welcome. Both bedrooms are upstairs, and the patio garden is enclosed. There is no cot at the moment; please bring a travel cot if you need one.



Bringing your dog

Up to two dogs are welcome, and a pet fee applies. The harbour path towards Portchester Castle makes a good walk, and the patio garden at the back is enclosed.



Good to know

The house is on the A27, a main road, so there is traffic noise at the front. On-street parking nearby gets busy in the evenings, so the allocated space, a short walk away, is the one to use.



Guest Access:

The whole house is yours. Self check-in is by lockbox from 4 pm, with the last arrivals at 9 pm, and departure is by 10 am. The allocated parking space is at the back of 142 Southampton Road, off Farmlea Road, and a second car can use free parking on Watersedge Road.



The Neighborhood:

Castle View faces Portsmouth Harbour in Paulsgrove, on the north side of the city. On foot: Port Solent's marina, restaurants and cinema about 10 minutes, the supermarket and cafés about 10, Portchester Castle about 21 along the harbour, and Lakeside North Harbour about 24. By car: Gunwharf Quays 11 minutes, Southsea Common 12, and the Historic Dockyard and the Spinnaker Tower 13. Isle of Wight ferries leave from Portsmouth Harbour.



Getting Around:

Cosham station is about 5 minutes by car. Buses on Southampton Road go to Port Solent, Cosham and the city centre. The M27 is close by, and Queen Alexandra Hospital is about 6 minutes' drive.

If you can't use the photo ID check, message us and we'll arrange a short video call instead. Please don't send ID documents by email. Your booking is on the Blue Puffin Stays Booking Terms (Guests) and the House Rules for this home.



Arrivals after 9 pm aren't possible, as that is when self check-in closes.

Our own local Blue Puffin Stays team looks after Castle View. Message us on Vrbo any day between 8 am and 8 pm for help finding the parking space, ferry times or places to eat around the harbour. Your check-in message includes an emergency number for anything urgent during your stay.
