The Spotlight on Newtown House Hotel

Charming Coastal Stay with Easy Access to Portsmouth Gigs

This beautifully converted 18th-century farmhouse on Hayling Island offers a cozy, traditional escape just 12 miles from the heart of Portsmouth. Newtown House Hotel combines historic character with modern comforts, making it a relaxing retreat after a high-energy show. With free Wi-Fi, free parking, and the beach just half a mile away, it's a great mix of convenience and charm.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans love Newtown House Hotel for its peaceful setting just outside the city, offering a quiet place to crash after a big night out. It’s within easy driving distance of Portsmouth’s top music venues, and the nearby road connections make it simple to get back late. The 15:00 check-in gives you time to settle in before the show, and the traditional pub-style atmosphere offers a warm welcome.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a place with character and comfort
  • Solo travelers seeing their favorite artist for the first time
  • Couples making a full weekend of their concert plans
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space outside the city noise
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing charm

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no 24/7 room service, the hotel does have an on-site restaurant with a menu featuring classic British dishes, and breakfast is available — great for a slow start after a late night. There are also nearby pubs and takeaways within walking distance, plus plenty of dining options in Portsmouth if you're heading back that way.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you're within easy striking distance of Portsmouth’s nightlife scene — from indie music bars to waterfront pubs. Back at the hotel, the cozy bar with its original stone fireplace is a great spot for a nightcap with friends.

What People Say

Guests consistently mention the friendly staff, comfortable beds, and the unique charm of the building, describing it as "full of character" and "perfect for a peaceful stay." The free parking and easy access to both the beach and city are also big pluses.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention the rooms could use a bit of modernising, and a few noted that the Wi-Fi signal can be patchy in certain areas. But most agree the quirks are part of the charm of staying in a historic building.

The Bottom Line

Newtown House Hotel is a quiet, character-filled retreat that lets you enjoy the buzz of Portsmouth concerts — but escape the noise when it's time to rest.

Needs work

Liked: Nice room no air con . Well appointed . Comfortable bed.
Disliked: Shower a nightmare. Instructions run shower and tap ten minutes before using . Did that…boiling hot shower unusable. Washing hair on knees under tap not fun . Ridiculous waste of water and an inconvenience.
