Excellent apartment, however the management company did not provide basic equipment such as dish cloths, kitchen roll, quality toilet rolls and spares. Finally there was supposed to be a complimentary bottle of wine which was missing. Tried to phone and message the management team over a couple days without any response. Had to phone the owner and the situation was quicklysorted.

This is our third stay at the Solent View Apartment and we had another fantastic stay. It's in a great location and is a very accessible apartment, two of our party struggle with mobility. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. We just purchased some wipes for the sides. Beds are comfy and Andor is always available if we need him. Hopefully we will be back.

Everything about this apartment is 1st class. Worth every penny for the views alone. All furnishings and fittings are of high spec. 2nd visit for us, will not be the last.
