    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Patricia - Verified booking

      Battery House has excellent views and a great location, but unfortunately the property itself leaves a lot to be desired and was very disappointing.

      The overall condition was poor and in great need of maintenance. On Sykes website, Battery House has 4 ticks/stars (Excellent condition throughout ) however, this was definitely not the case. There was a lot of damp throughout the property, particularly in both main bedrooms on floors 1 and 2, leading to large areas of flaking plaster and paint. The floor tiles in the main ensuite on level 2 were broken and taped up with grey tape. The wind whistled through the windows even when they were fully closed. The roof terrace looked beautiful in the photos on the website, but in reality, consisted of shabby furniture and lots of dead pot plants. Some of the furniture in the lounge was frayed and shabby and even the dining table only seated 6 people, even though Battery House accommodated 8, which meant we could not eat together as a family. Early in the holiday, we were without water and electricity for several hours. I made numerous calls to the owner which were unanswered and in desperation phoned Sykes. They also tried to contact the owner and the Housekeeper but were unsuccessful initially. We searched the house for a Fuse Box/Consumer Unit but couldn’t find anything. Eventually, Sykes were successful in contacting the owner and we were told a handyman would come to sort out the problem. When he eventually arrived, he went into a cellar, situated in a locked room on the ground floor and informed us that the dishwasher had tripped the fuse and we should not use it for the rest of the holiday, which was very inconvenient and annoying! I did not expect to spend my holiday washing dishes for 8 people, after every meal time. I didn’t hear from the owner while all this was happening, but she eventually rang on the morning of our departure and did finally apologise and inform us that a new dishwasher would be fitted the following week. I was offered a drinks coaster for the inconvenience. This was in no way adequate compensation for such an imposition on holiday. I booked this property so that my family could be together, beside the sea, to celebrate my husband’s 70th birthday. It was very disappointing and definitely not worth the exorbitant cost. I have since read the reviews posted in July and know that the owner and Sykes must have been aware of these issues. We have stayed in Sykes properties for many years and always been very happy with the quality and standard of them, however Battery House fell woefully short. I am unable to recommend this property and find it very disappointing and misleading that Sykes continue to classify Battery House as 4 Star/Ticks. I took a lot of photos of all the issues before we left the property and have forwarded them to Sykes. Sykes have told me they have tried repeatedly to contact the owner and have failed to get a response and that they are no longer able to assist in the matter. I am appalled at their response as I booked with Sykes because I thought they were a reliable company that I could trust.. I would upload my photos, but unfortunately there isn't an option to do that.

    • Stephen - Verified booking

      The location and sea views are fantastic, which impressed our Australian relatives staying with us for the week.

      Equipment and facilities good and beds very comfy. Could do with some tlc, redecoration and tidying up in places, as mentioned in another review by Denise on the website. Very disappointed central heating wasn't working, with no heating at all for first 2 and a bit days, which made the property very cold and uncomfortable, especially as it was November. We appreciated owners phone calls to resolve this and the offer for us to buy some electric heaters, which we'd be reimbursed for, as owner couldn't get plumber out till the Monday. I did get my oil radiator from home in Emsworth which helped a bit. Not the experience you want when being on holiday. Plumber came on Monday and resolved part repair, so nice and warm living room/kitchen area and two bedrooms below. No heating on all the other floors for the whole week so 2 bedrooms very cold. Leaking windows need sorting, poorly sealed so very drafty and noisy from wind and rain, which we had on Saturday and Sunday. I slept back in Emsworth Sunday, as the wind through bedroom windows was very loud due to the the gaps in the seals. Unfortunately it was a very strong wind directly from the wall elevation. The sea spray was coming over the wall giving an indication how strong it was. Kind regards Steve & Linda.

    • Irene - Verified booking

      We were 8 adults (4 couples, retired) staying for a week at Battery House.

      We never tired of the fantastic view and the shipping activity that could be seen clearly from the top floor living area of the property and the terrace above...stunning! We didn't mind the stairs therefore.The location was superb. An easy flat walk to The Historic Dockyard, and in the opposite direction to Southsea. Two couples didn't use their cars at all as there is plenty to do and see in Portsmouth. Anna, the owner, provided us with 3 additional books of Parking Permits at £30 each for the whole week and we felt that this was good value. Be careful filling the permits in at first as it's easy to make a mistake. The car park is only a few paces away from the property and we were able to unload almost right outside. We were able to contact Anna easily on her mobile phone if we needed assistance etc, thank you Anna, for your help during our stay. We had a wonderful week. Irene and friends

    • Jayne - Verified booking

      We holidayed at Battery House for the 1st time in 2018, this year was our 4th visit.

      The house is immaculate, nicely furnished and very well equipped (Anna has thought of everything). Its in a fantastic location with stunning views across the Solent to the Isle of Wight, As its overlooking the entrance to the port, there is so much activity its interesting to watch at all times, from small fishing boats to Brittany Ferries and don’t forget to look out for the cruise ships leaving Southampton. There is plenty to do as the house is positioned about 15 minutes walk from Gunwharf Quays shopping outlet and the nearby Navel museums, but you really won’t want to leave the rooftop terrace Anna was a very attentive host letting us know about local events during our stay, we really are very grateful to her for buying Battery House and allowing us to stay here again, we are already looking forward to our next visit. Thanks Anna x

    • Jonathan - Verified booking

      We were a family of 8 in 3 generations and Battery House was perfect for us.

      The standout feature is without doubt the amazing views across Portsmouth Harbour entrance and out to the Isle of Wight and beyond. The constant sea traffic in and out of the harbour can keep you occupied all day, particularly with the help of a simple app which can identify each vessel. And the location is perfect with lovely pubs and restaurants on the doorstep, all of Old Portsmouth including the Historic Dockyard within walking distance as in, in fact, the whole of Southsea for those keen to increase their " steps". Anna, the host, is brilliant. Really helpful, full of info about what to see and do, and always on hand to answer text queries. I could go into the pros and very few cons of the rest of the house but you won't want to go beyond the 3rd floor lounge and top floor roofdeck!
