Nice property, very clean and comfortable. Accepts dogs, so this was a deciding factor. Not directly overlooking the Solent, as I thought from description, but just round the corner - still a good position, although opposite a small factory. Parking space only really suitable for small car.
These points aside, I would stay here again.

Perfect central location & lovely home
Perfect and homely with all the necessities. Off street parking for one. Convenient location to walk to local stores or drive to see the sites. Off-tourist season allowed us to see more without the crowds
