Very lovely hosts, warm, friendly and welcoming. Although the heat was horrendous and obviously nothing to do with the hosts, we were provided with a fan to help cool the air in our room. We had an early start for the airport on Sunday morning and Andy drove us .

    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.
