Was a lovely home with an excellent location to town, restaurants and the ferry for visiting Isle of Wight. Owners were very communicative and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

A fantastic townhouse in the heart of Southampton, mere minutes walk from great bars, pubs, restaurants, shops, and activities of Southampton. Tucked away in the quiet Westgate Street, this is an excellent house. There were only two of us, and our dogs, but the house is huge and can cater for 6 people easily. Kitchen, living area, bathrooms, dining room, main bedroom and hallway all excellent, well adorned, and everything is very nicely done. Wi-Fi is good, easy to use and good speeds and quality, the TV is excellent, some Apps are helpfully signed in.
Not a big fan of an AGA, and the heat from it was a bit much at times in the kitchen, lord knows what it’s like in July, off I hope! But it's fine and manageable. Everything you need is in the kitchen, coffee pods, tea, coffee, cleaning items, loads of crockery and cutlery, and the owners respond incredibly quickly to any questions. Getting in was easy, keylock and keys very easy. The outdoor areas are very useful for our dogs, but it was too cold and wet to use properly when we were there (Mid-April).
Car parking is very rare in city centre cottages, so having parking was much appreciated, it's tight and tricky, but very much appreciated. Unless you have a tiny car (circa Ka, Corsa, Micra, Smart), don't attempt the garage. The garage looks wide enough, but the camber of the road/path and the dropped kerb are tricky to negotiate.
Local recommendations:
Dancing Man, Beards and Boards, Bottle & Stoat, Coriander Lounge ...
