Phil and family are a delight, super friendly and interesting. The room is spacious and quiet, the en suite great. Use of the lovely kitchen if needs be.
It’s a half hour walk to the Mayflower theatre or I used the Voi electric scooters which you could pick up a 5 min walk in either direction. Bus also from pretty much opposite. Recommend.

Phil and Maria's home is big and beautiful and they couldn't have been more welcoming. The bedroom is big, the bed very comfy and has its own ensuite. There is a wonderful large common right opposite the house to sunbathe/walk around and the Mayflower is a 20 minute walk away. Space made for your food in kitchen and a great coffee machine. Would highly recommend this place.

I had a lovely stay with Phil and family! They were wonderful hosts and made me feel right at home. The room was spacious, with a great ensuite and the house is in a lovely location. Absolutely perfect and exactly what I needed, I would be very happy to stay again if I am ever back in Southampton!

Always comfortable staying with Phil and Family. Lovely, spacious home, where you feel at ease with Phil, his wife and two brilliant boys. Room and en suite to yourself and in a leafy part of Southampton, right by the common. About 25/30min walk to The Mayflower. My second time with Phil et. Al. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Amazing Digs, great room and wonderful hosts. Thank you for a really good stay.

Phil and his family were so welcoming, I felt very comfortable. Lovely to chat but we also gave each other our own space. They offered for me to park my car on the drive. I drove to the NCP when on evening calls at MAST so I didn’t have to do the walk back at night but walking in the day was no problem. Nice to be a little way out of town near the common. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

The boys are so quiet in the mornings I rarely heard them!

I will definitely return and hope to stay again.

Cannot fault these digs. Deftly welcoming and friendly hosts. A very clean and comfortable en suite room in a comfortable and warm home. Coffee machine a wonderful bonus. 25 minute walk to the theatre, which was fine by me, and right next to the beautiful Southampton Common. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
20th Jan 2025
I had the loveliest time; Phil and Maria (and the children!) are so friendly and very welcoming. Their house is beautiful and a lovely 20-25 minute walk from The Mayflower but for those late nights when you'd rather not walk, taxis were really reasonable. They also offered some great local recommendations; Make and Brew does great coffee! The perfect digs; will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

I wish I could give this wonderful family, and their beautiful home, 6 stars!

An amazing stay in a beautiful house. Right opposite the common which is great for running/walking. A great sized room with your own en-suite just makes things so easy.
Thank you so much Phil, I’ll definitely be back when I’m in Southampton!!

Had a lovely stay, with a lovely family! Felt like staying in self contained digs, with your own en suite. Able to get loads of rest during a busy week, despite a family going about their usual day. So quiet and homely! Thank you, looking forward to staying again!

Really lovely room. Spacious, warm and with a good en-suite. Phil and family are welcoming and the kitchen is well equipped and clean! It’s a bit of a longer walk into town but nice and quiet at night, plus ample parking if you drive.
23rd Sep 2023
Highly recommended digs. Immediately felt at home, was very private with en suit and the whole family very friendly and accommodating. Would stay again!

Perfect place to stay in Southampton! I have no idea how a family of 4 stays SO QUIET, but they did! Lovely spacious room and having an ensuite was ideal. Right beside the park so a beautiful walk or cycle to theatre. Would recommend to anyone!
