The best digs I have stayed in on tour! A beautiful house, a very comfy bed in a spacious room. A shared bathroom with another cast member, but what a beautiful bathroom with a great shower. Melissa is a lovely person who delights in having theatrical folk around but also understands the need for personal space. It is a very easy place to relax with a gorgeous plant filled outdoor and indoor space to make use of as well a large kitchen. She also offers a very generous continental breakfast. 👌

Hi Emily, I hope you are coping with the heat wave. We’ve had hot summers before but this is on another level. I would just like to thank you for your positive comments and lovely review. Much appreciated ! . You would be very welcome to come back any time in the future should you be visiting Portsmouth. Take good care of yourself, Melissa x
Melissa's hospitality and house are par excellence. Comfortable room, easy use of a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom with super shower.
Beautiful decor and plenty of plants make this a restful place to stay but a 5-7 minute walk to the King's Theatre. Parking available but let Melissa know in advance to sort out permits. Easy parking in front of the house.
A lovely breakfast and coffee/tea of all sorts if you want to chill out in the garden or beautiful garden room.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Had a wonderful stay at the Greenhouse! Was extremely fortunate to get to stay in the Lady Yasmine Suite which is absolutely gorgeous. Melissa is the most wonderful host, so warm and welcoming and knowledgeable about the local eateries in the area.
Fantastic facilities, very clean and comfortable.
Was gutted to only be staying one night! Would loved to have stayed longer.

Had a tremendous stay in Melissa’s wonderful house. The room is so clean and comfortable and the extensive breakfast provisions are a real bonus. Melissa is a polite, helpful, communicative and extremely warm person. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again next time I’m in the Portsmouth area.

This is a wonderful place to stay. The décor and the attention to detail meant that my working week in Portsmouth was more than countered by the relaxing accommodation and the generous facilities provided by Melissa. The house and garden are filled with beautiful plants. The Greenhouse is a sensory experience - very highly recommended.

Literally the best digs ever!!
Had an amazingly great week with Melissa, in the Lady Jasmine room.
Everything about this place and the hospitality is top.
Not enough superlatives to be said for Melissa.
Thank you
