Mock-up 3 of 3

A guide that lists properties

Every AI answer we tested was a list. This is the format they quote. Ours go first, with two or three checkable facts each, and a competitor below so the list is honest rather than an advert.

Big houses in Portsmouth for groups, sleeping 8 to 12

Last updated 20 September 2026

Portsmouth has plenty of one and two-bedroom flats and very few houses that take a whole group. These four sleep between eight and twelve, all within fifteen minutes of the seafront, and all bookable direct.

Also worth a look

For groups who want to be right on the waterfront, Gunwharf Quays Serviced Apartments rent two-bedroom apartments in the marina complex, a short walk from the Spinnaker Tower. They suit two couples better than a family group, as the apartments cap out below eight guests.

Why name a competitor. A list containing only our own homes reads as an advert and gets ignored by AI tools. One honest entry makes the whole page quotable. We would confirm any competitor and their facts before publishing.

The set we would write first

  • Big houses in Portsmouth for groups, the one above.
  • Where to stay in Southampton for a cruise. Ten homes there, and cruise passengers search this every week.
  • Hot tub boltholes near Southampton and Winchester. The three Durley barns.
  • Contractor accommodation in Portsmouth. Monthly stays, parking, desk space.
  • Cotswold weekends from Cirencester. The loft and the railway carriage.
  • Dog-friendly houses in Hampshire. Most of the portfolio qualifies.
Two changes from the brief. The Isle of Wight list is out, as there are no properties there. The Gloucester contractor list is out too, as there is one house in Gloucester and the list would be mostly competitors.
