The property features sea and garden views, and is 1.7 km from The Mayflower Theatre. The accommodation offers a lift and a shared kitchen for guests.

The property was very close to the cruise ports making the morning of ship embarkation stress free and easy. The property it’s self was very comfortable and clean, modern decor, easy and spacious and secure private parking and very comfortable bed. The host Joe we couldn’t speak more highly of despite him having an early morning at work the following day he stayed up till 1am to ensure we could get in and settled for the night as it took us a lot longer to drive down than anticipated. He ensured that we had all the info we needed for the following day for embarkation from checking the cruise lines port where correct and even printed our parking tickets. He left no fine detail out as even ensured that he had set us out everything we needed for breakfast, tea and coffee and laid out fresh towels. The effort he went to did not go unnoticed and will definitely stay again in the future.

We LOVE this place! In fact, it actually factored into our planning a second cruise out of Southampton. Staff is exceptional. Special kudos to "Sasha." He was personable and knowledgable. Great atmosphere. We had a "snug room" this time (Room #12). Super cute, but be aware - snug means small! But still all the amenities. There are steep stairs to reach it, Sasha helped us carry our bags. The ceiling slopes in the room, so you have to be aware of that factor. If you have mobility issues, ask for the first floor. Very clean & great bed! We've had breakfast & dinner there, again great. Try the mackerel dip as appetizer. Yum! Super convenient to cruise port. We took train down from London. It was a bit confusing to find on our first visit, but easy to walk. Just follow maps down to the port. ("Easy walk" comment is assuming no mobility issues). It's built into the old city wall, but fortunately has a white front which makes it easier to spot. As reference on mobility - we are 59 & 66. Husband has had one knee replaced, but we're both active pickleball players :-) I've also attached photos of room from our visit in Sept. 2019 (Room #1). These folks really put attention into the details, including the large wooden keys. Fun pub very close by called "The Dancing Man" for beer lovers!
