    We were able to walk from the bus stop to hotel. There is a great British pub within walking distance where the locals welcomed us and recommended the draft we should try. Also we could walk to the cruise port and board our ship.The hotel is priced right for those of us that need a good night's sleep after an overnight flight from North America

    I had one day’s layover in Southhampton between two cruises. Joe the host of this home stay has been such a great host. He was genuinely helpful not only with answering my questions but provided generous assistance so that my lay over was as smooth and worry-free as could be. Next time I pass through Southampton on cruises, I will make a point of booking into Joe’s place.
