A really lovely place to stay!! The communal area was great with a large variety of games to play!! Did not use the spa facilities however Mubi did provide us a tour of these, the spa was to an exceptional standard! Will definitely look into booking next time I stay!! Both Steve and Mubi were lovely hosts. Very kind individuals. Look forward to staying with them again soon!

10/10

We had an amazing two-night stay at Ashbys and can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, the owners, Steve and Mubi, made us feel incredibly welcome they were so friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. There’s so much to do at the hotel, we were genuinely impressed. The free pool table was a great touch and added to the relaxed, fun vibe of the place. But the real highlight for us was the spa and hot tub totally worth the money and a perfect way to unwind in the evenings. We used the spa both nights and loved every minute of it. Ashbys is a gem in Portsmouth comfortable, entertaining, and run by two wonderful hosts. We’ll definitely be back!

One of my favourite hotels to stay in. Very homely, the beds are incredibly comfy and the whole hotel is beautifully decorated and I love how quirky it is. Love the games/bar area and self service kitchen. The owners always friendly and accommodating. Look forward to staying again.
