OUR REVIEW

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

Situated in Ocean Village in Southampton, the hotel has been built out into the marina and so is surrounded by water on three sides. The area is still a little industrial and a multi-storey car park mars the view from the top-floor restaurant but a supermarket and several bars are within walking distance. A massive indoor play centre called InJoy is just a five-minute walk from the hotel. The cruise ship terminals are a five-minute drive away.

By car: Around 2 hours by car from London, 2 hours 30 minutes from Exeter or Birmingham. Limited parking available at the hotel.

By train: The journey from London takes around 1 hour 25 minutes, from Bristol around 1 hour 40 minutes, from Birmingham around 2 hours 40 minutes and Manchester around 4 hours. Southampton Central is 9 minutes away by taxi. Book trains to Southampton.

By plane: Southampton aiport is 4.7 miles away.
