Southampton Guildhall is 1.2 km from the homestay, while Southampton Cruise Terminal is 2.9 km away. The nearest airport is Southampton Airport, 7 km from Stunning 1 bedroom and double sofa bed near Train station.

Nice little apartment for traveling alone or with small family. Feels more homelike compared to a hotel and traveling a lot, this is something to be valued. Had all the needed facilities, but sadly at my visit the hot tub had been broken by previous guests. Other than that, everything was in place and working. Good location from transports and services in town. Very welcoming and warm hostess, that made sure everything was as needed.

Loved how it was so close to the Central Station - about 11 min walk. There were grocery stores, pubs, cafes and such near by. Also a brief walk from the city centre where there is alot to discover. Wish I would've stayed for longer but when I come back, I definitely will be using this establishment again :)

    Cheap and cheerful, the Glenmore was great value for money. A lovely host, Kayleigh was even kind and trusting enough to retain my reservation despite my online payment failing prior to arrival( due to cancelled bankcard).An excellent cooked breakfast could be ordered as an extra in a really nice breakfast room. Very quiet in one of the single en suite rooms facing the back of the property( no 4). Easy to use efficient shower as well. would definitely stay again! Good location for railway and buses which were a short walk away.

    We booked an overnight stay as we were going on a cruise the next day and it was very convenient for the cruise terminal (about 20 minutes drive - and that was in heavy traffic). There are only 2 rooms with an allocated parking space for each (although a little tight for space - might be a problem if one car was oversized). Lovely hosts, spotlessly clean and comfortable rooms and a good breakfast. We would recommend this guest house.

    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.
