It is a beautiful bungalow right on the coast. There is a footpath to walk along the coast and playgrounds for children. Portchester Castle is a short walk down the coast. Bus service is about 6 blocks away and you can easily travel to Fareham, Port Solent, Portsmouth and areas of interest. Great local restaurants and grocery shops. Laundrette right across from the bus stop.The unit is beautifully decorated and well stocked with towels and linens.
