Watkins & Faux, situated a few moments from Q8 Boutique Hotel, is a perfect place to enjoy British cuisine.

“This boutique hotel enjoys a superb location overlooking Southsea Common, placing guests near both the beach and local attractions. While some rooms are more basic than others, the location and personalized service create a distinctive experience for those seeking a seaside escape. I think that the views, coupled with its proximity to Gunwharf Quays, are real advantages.”
