“Florence House, set in a refurbished Edwardian building, offers a boutique experience near Southsea Beach, though the lack of a lift might be a concern for some. I noted the well-regarded gastro pub, The Florence Arms, adds local flavor to the stay. The charm of individually designed rooms and the outdoor dining space appeal to those seeking a distinctive Portsmouth visit.”
