Lydia was the perfect host! Super friendly, very responsive and helpful on text before my visit. The facilities are just what you need for a simple, easy stay. Couldn't have asked for anything else. Thanks so much Lydia, will book again if I'm photographing another wedding down south!!

I started a new job a bus ride and walk away from Lydia's place and when I arrived on the Sunday (there are no buses on a Sunday!) Lydia very kindly collected me from Totton Station. Area is very quiet, local stores across the road and parking area at the front. Overall a very good stay and very nice host. would definitely book again if I'm working in the area in the future.

Good location and a great, friendly host.

Great and easy place to stay! Lydia was very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and tidy and well set up. It was great to have the (very spacious) living room to myself as it meant I didn't feel confined. Breakfast was all very good. I stayed for 2 weeks and it was very convenient and easy for me. It's easy to get into central Southampton and it was close to where I was working. All round an excellent place to stay!

Cozy, comfortable, and clean. It's easy to get to shops & rail -- was perfect for me on a five day business trip.

Lydia war erstmals AirBnB-Gastgeberin, und ich war erstmals AirBnB-Gast! Mein Aufenthalt bei ihr war äußerst angenehm. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig, und die Bushaltestelle ist gleich vor ihrem Haus. In dem Wohnzimmer, das mir Lydia exklusiv zur Verfügung stellte, konnte ich frühstücken, und auf dem Schreibtisch bestens arbeiten. Die Internetanbindung ist wirklich gut! Wenn ich wieder in Southampton bin, werde ich sicher wieder bei ihr um ein Quartier anfragen.

It is nice accomodation, confy bed, I would go back again. Thank you

Lydia was very quick to reply to any messages and overall a great host. The place is great if you are staying in Totton. The bus service to Southampton is not completely reliable, but getting a bus earlier than planned got me to the city on time every time.

Cannot fault my stay in Howard's lovely home. Both him and Helen were very welcoming. The room was as described and immaculate. The bathroom was also lovely. Would recommend for anyone staying in the area, and would stay again if ever visiting Totton.

I really appreciated my time spent at Totton. The house is beautiful and clean. I recommend to everyone passing by.

Howard was very accommodating when my plans changed a few times, much appreciated. Very comfy bed, thanks a lot!

Pleasant, quiet stay Howie and Helen made me feel welcome and were helpful with all I would need, a tranquil experience The room was neat, clean and kept daily. I would definitely recommend their place as they were friendly, mature and enjoyable company

I have stayed several times at Howard's place and every time it is a pleasure, accommodation is fantastic and host are very friendly and welcoming and always willing to help and make sure your stay is enjoyable.

Howard voorwaarde dat een zeer warm welkom met grote communicatie voor onze aankomst. De slaapkamer en badkamer waren brandschoon en mooi ingericht. Hij was erg behulpzaam met de taxi nummers. Helaas waren we op een vliegende bezoek dus waren niet in staat om meer tijd te genieten in een prachtige huis en tuin Howard's. We zullen hier zeker weer verblijven volgende keer dat we in het gebied. Dank je.

Everything you need for a great stay! Thank you

very welcoming, lovely bright & clean room, all facilities needed and more, ideal location for needing southampton & surrounding areas whether it be one night or more

Very welcoming and affordable accommodation. Excellent travel links. Rooms are clean and have all the necessities. Good customer service and the breakfast is excellent!

The room was clean and the property is in a good location. However my experience was let down a bit. I was in the area to take some very important exams at CTC. My room was on the front of the building, and the window was single glazed and kept closed by bits of paper wedged into the frame! This meant all the road noise came into the room, and it felt like I was sleeping on the pavement. The second night at 3:30 am I was woken up by someone constantly going in and out of the fire door in the corridor right next to my door. The door to the room has not been trimmed correctly and you can see light down the side of the door where the the firestrip should be. So again the noise came through nice and loud. Unfortunately for me I'm the sort of person that once I wake up I struggle to go back to sleep. The room was fine other than the noise issues. The quilt was one of the most cosy I have ever come across and breakfast was delicious! I was just very tired for my exams!

I took a double room without toilet, sufficient for a man alone. Small size but well organized, the Washington in the room much appreciated. Tidiness of room and common spaces is total and staff very kind. The position is well connected with Southampton, New Forest Park and Dorset seaside. Some trouble for the proximity of the Totton Bypass but it doesn't detain me to sleep.

The host canceled this reservation 6 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Lydia is an excellent hostess and very helpful. The room was large and quite nice. Very satisfied with the accommodations.

Now stayed at Lydia's place several times and every time its a pleasure, great accommodation with excellent access to both Southampton and the New Forest.

Lydia's kamer is extreem ruim: groter dan mijn appartement in New York! Parkeren op de nabijgelegen straat was makkelijk. Lydia ontmoette ons en liet ons de kamer zien, bad in de hal, en we werden gezet. Veel ruimte om uit te strekken, theeketel, handdoeken, mooi bed en uitzicht op Engeland's zachte regen en het groen van Engeland vanaf het tweede verdieping. Goede uitvalsbasis voor het zien van het nabijgelegen New Forest (Exbury Gardens, Furzey Gardens, en meer).

Great communication and would certainly recommend. Thanks again.

Lydia was a lovely host and her place is fantastic. The large room includes breakfast, tea/coffee area with a fridge and microwave, which is very useful. A great place to stay if you are in the area. She was able to accommodate me on the same day I requested to stay a night. Overall, I highly recommend Lydia's place.

Lydia was een zeer warme en gastvrije gastheer en alles in de kamer en het huis was precies zoals gepresenteerd in de foto's. Communicatie in de loop van mijn verblijf was erg makkelijk en werd snel gereageerd. De kamer zelf is erg groot met veel ruimte. Het is geweldig om een keuken, bed en tv in de kamer te hebben met alle benodigde faciliteiten. De badkamer was ook heel schoon gehouden, ik zou zeker weer boeken.

Ik hield van elk verblijf van mijn verblijf. Het was gewoon dynamisch. Het was goed waarde en zou hier blijven wanneer ik in de stad ben.

Lydia was lovely; she got back to me really quickly and was really chilled and friendly, I felt welcome from the start! I only had a short one night stay but it was really nice having my own space (with a fridge and microwave) to focus and wind down from the long drive!

Well priced, clean and easy! All I needed!

Perfect welcome - Lovely place ! Place was newly renovated and very clean - Breakfast was very good. My recommendation !

Hannah, Steve, Holly and not forgetting Riley made our first experience of Airbnb a welcoming and comfortable one. The cottage is really peaceful, considering it is so close to Southampton. Pubs and eateries within walking distance. Hannah’s breakfast was excellent and set us up for the day. Would not hesitate to recommend Ivy Cottage and look forward to returning again in the future.

Fantastic sums it all up basically. Great room and breakfast. Will use again for sure

Nice, relaxing stay. Close by to lots of beautiful walks in the NewForest. Hannah was a lovely host and made great breakfast!

Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Brilliant B&B and really welcoming hosts! Thanks again!

Ivy's B&B is a lovely cottage in a quiet spot close to the New Forest and the City of Southampton. The room was very cute and had everything we needed. Breakfast was amazing. Hannah made for us some extra dairyfree porridge. Steve, Hannah and cute Riley were very nice hosts.

My host welcomed me like family, taking my bags to the room and offering tea. The accommodations were more luxurious and spacious than in the photo, which also did not feature the beautiful garden view. (Or the personable attitude of the host). I had a delicious English-style meal at the pub just next door and chatted with the owner. It was all absolutely charming and delightful!

Alles, was du brauchst. Bequem mit sehr gastfreundlichen Gastgebern und einer guten Lage.

Ein weiterer leichter Aufenthalt bei Howards

2nd time I've stayed and one again was excellent in a very friendly home

We spent two nights at Howard's and Helen's place. They were very welcoming and friendly. It is a great place stay, nice room and bathroom and a lovely garden to chill out. Perfect location for Southampton or New Forest.

Howards Platz war großartig. Viele Parkplätze, komfortables Zimmer. Sehr sauber und eingerichtet für Leute zu bleiben. Ich liebte die Berührung von Wasser und Tee machen Einrichtungen im Zimmer. Vielen Dank!

We stopped at Howard place for a night, after a long bike riding day and got introduced to a lovely room and all-you-need-to-know guide to the food and drinking places around. The room is fully furnished and very comfy. Highly recommended !

Mr Howard and his wife were really helpful, friendly and welcoming people.

Lovely home, perfect for going for a ride in the New Forest. Howard is very friendly and helpful. The house is clean and spacious, has a nice garden, and is fully equipped for hosting guests. Warmly recommended!

The accommodation was exactly as described and very clean,The hosts are friendly and helpful

What a lovely break. The space was better than we expected. Our two Maltese terriers came with us and were allowed use of the well kept garden. We had a very comfortable immaculate bedroom and bathroom and use of the spacious conservatory. This was my first time using Airbnb and will use it again. My only problem was no microwave . Thank you both for you friendly hospitality .

nice space to stay. the hosts were very helpful and accommodating. a great gateway for visiting the new forests.

Cosy private room with ensuite. Own private entrance is a great little extra. Very comfortable and modern. The hosts were welcoming and happy to chat about the area which is great access to the New Forest for runs and bike rides.

Great stay. Nice to be in a separate annex bit. Friendly and welcoming, everything was exactly as advertised.

Tracy & Jacqui's place was amazingly clean and we loved our short stay there. They both are lovely hosts and very helpful. I totally recommend them if you are planning to cycle around the New Forest Park as their location is just 15 minutes cycling to the off-road paths. Thanks for everything and all the best. Ellie & Adele

I stayed two nights in early August. Immaculately clean, good value and no messing about. I have recommended it to my extended family who often need 'overspill' accommodation in the area for family get-together's. Excellent value.

Tracy was very welcoming and took the time to explain us everything, and she checked on us regularly to make sure that we were happy. The room was as described, cosy and clean, we had everything we needed. There were many flyers about what activities could be done in the region, as well as maps for walks, what we appreciated a lot. A great stay! =)

Monica's place served as the perfect base for our trip to Southampton to visit family. She is a very attentive host and we were grateful for the stocked essentials in the fridge and cupboards after such a long drive down from Edinburgh! The place is compact, however, it has everything you would possibly need to make your stay a home from home. Thank you Monica!

Bawiliśmy się świetnie! To miejsce jest naprawdę czyste i ciche. Dom jest w pobliżu stacji Redbridge. To ułatwiło nam podróżowanie do centrum Southampton w ciągu mniej niż 10 minut. (Nazwa hosta) jest bardzo komunikatywna; Zapewnia, że nie mieliśmy problemów z naszym pobytem i szybko odpowiedzieć na nasze pytania. Dom jest bardzo przytulny i dostaliśmy wszystko, co potrzebne :)

Мы прибыли раньше, чем ожидалось - мы сломались по дороге и пропустили нашу запланированную деловую встречу. Моника любезно рассказала нам, как получить доступ к студии, прежде чем она вернется домой, что было здорово. Мы фактически только спали и осыпали до раннего начала в оба дня, поэтому не использовали какие-либо средства для приготовления пищи. Кровать была велика, однако, поскольку единственное окно находится перед домом, если вы хотели, чтобы он был открыт во время сна, вы могли услышать сад паба по соседству и проезжую часть автомагистрали неподалеку.

A great place to stay. Everything I needed. Monica was lovely and very welcoming. She went out of her way to make my stay a pleasure. Kitchen area and facilities were fab.

Ładne i przytulne mieszkanie. To, czego szukałem.

Très bel endroit pour rester avec tout ce dont vous avez besoin. Monica est très gentil et serviable.

Mónica era un excelente anfitrión, y era muy útil para responder a nuestras peticiones, pero dispuestos a dejar a nuestros propios dispositivos de otra manera. Se esperaba que la plana, acogedor, cálido y seco. instalaciones de cocina eran como se muestra, y no tuvimos problemas con la conexión Wi-Fi. Las toallas limpias y ropa de cama limpia. La cama era cómoda. Para un estudio plana que no era demasiado pequeña. Se adapta perfectamente a nuestras necesidades. parada de autobús está a 5-10 minutos a pie, la estación de BR Redbridge más cerca, tan razonablemente buenas conexiones con el centro de Southampton. En general no tengo quejas en absoluto.

Kleines Studio, aber es gibt alles, was man für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt benötigen. Pub, Zug, Bus und Supermarkt in der Nähe.

Veldig komfortabelt opphold med veldig hyggelig verter. Akkurat det vi trengte for et kort opphold.

We were a family group of 4, Mum, Granny and 2 girls aged 2 and 5, and Cat's place was perfect for us. Our trip was for visiting Peppa Pig World, and for this it is ideally situated just a short drive away. We didn't meet Cat but self check in was straightforward and she had left clear instructions for appliances and the hot tub in the garden, which was a huge bonus. Both house and garden are just lovely, in a quiet, private cul de sac, and there's a superstore not far away. Comfort and relaxation for the grown ups, and plenty of toys, books etc for children, including a wonderful playhouse and football goal in the spacious garden. We loved it, it made our little holiday extra special to have such a great 'holiday home' . We thoroughly recommend it, and hope to go back again! Thanks Cat ☺

The host canceled this reservation 6 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

I spent 4 nights at Hannah's place. I felt excellent, the room is great, cosy bed, A+ conditions.Also the area is very green with a huge back garden. I will definitely comeback.

Had a lovely stay at Hannah's place. Enjoyed the poached duck eggs at breakfast. Great access to the New Forest if you're travelling by car. Would recommend and stay again!

Ivy B & B ist ein schönes Haus in idyllischer Lage in der Nähe von Southampton. Hannah ist ein fantastischer Gastgeber und das Zimmer, das ich hatte war perfekt und leicht auf eine Stufe mit einem hochklassigen Landhotel. Die Einrichtung war sehr geschmackvoll, das Bett war geräumig und bequem und das en-suite sah ganz neu. Alles war makellos sauber und alle Einrichtungen angeboten. Ein reichhaltiges Frühstück Menü wurde in der schönen Speisesaal angeboten und serviert. Dank Hannah und ich freuen uns darauf, wieder hier zu übernachten.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Ivy's B&B. They combine the quality of a hotel with the warmth and personality you always hope to get from a B&B. The cottage is beautiful, is newly-fitted and decorated and has creative little extra touches all around it. The room was immaculate and exceeded my expectations because it was finished to a much higher standard than I'd expect from a B&B. Best of the people are lovely and Hannah made me welcome from the outset. I'm going back this year! I only scored 3 stars for accuracy because the photos don't do it justice!

Hannah was immediately welcoming and showed us the delightful rooms - very spacious and well appoin ted

Great stay, in a lovely location. Great to meet Riley too, who wouldn't let me in with out saying hello, and wouldn't let me leave without say goodbye! Also an impromptu chat about classic cars with Hannah's partner which was great. Recommended place to stay. Thank you

We stayed at Ivy's B&B for 1 night whilst we were in the area to visit Beaulieu Motor Museum and have a night out in Southampton. The B&B is in a quiet picturesque village with a good pub next door. It is only a short drive to Beaulieu and close enough to places like Southampton, Portsmouth, Bournemouth and if you have children, Paultons Park and Peppa Pig World. Our room was a small double with an ensuite shower and toilet. Although it was a small room everything was well organised, there was a decent sized wardrobe and the shower was big enough for 2. The bed was really comfortable and we had a great nights sleep. The breakfast in the morning was excellent quality, there was a selection of cereals, fruit, juice, tea, coffee etc and also a hot selection that you could choose from the night before. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

La casa e la camera sono belle e pulite. Sophie è simpatica e piacevole. Buona comunicazione prima dell'arrivo. Il prezzo è ottimo per quello che si ottiene.

Cómoda, se detendría allí de nuevo cuando en la zona

Nous avons été bien accueillie chez Sophie. A notre bonne surprise, elle parle français ;) Sont petit appartement est très joli. Pour information, la chambre est petite, mais sans trop de bagages elle est suffisamment grande. Alors malgré deux trois petits défauts (salle de bain et toilette), nous avons bien dormi.

Aveva un piacevole soggiorno a Sophie. E 'un buon padrone di casa. Abbiamo avuto alcuni problemi con la connessione internet (è stato in lavorazione), ma la camera era pulita, ordinata e confortevole. Ci tornerei.

Dobré místo k pobytu, s místní jídelně v docházkové vzdálenosti. Jen koupelna podlaha potřebná pozornost! Sophie dobrý hostitel! Komunikace skvěle!

Again, a very nice stay at Sophie's

We absolutely love the place and can't say enough good things about Sophie and her house! It's cozy, clean, warm, comfy, and feels like home. We only wish we could have spent some more time with Sophie. She is not only a five-star host but a great great writer and a sweet, lovely lady to get to know. We are reading her book and enjoy it as much as we enjoy the place. All the best, Sophie!!

Maintenant nous avons séjourné au sophies plusieurs fois assez confortable pour rester pendant 4 jours consécutifs. Sophie est géniale

Listing description was accurate and more spacious then i though it would be - so pleasantly surprised!

Nicola and Tony have been very kind and caring hosts. They made sure I have my comfort while staying at their b&b, providing fresh fruits and snacks for breakfast and even taking me personally to the place, where I was supposed to attend an event.

Great stay and really lovely house, I enjoyed the room and bathroom design. The house has a big backyard to relax after a long day in the city or forest around. Definitely would stay again, if I am around next time. The breakfast is just amazing and to have eggs from the backyard chicken was really kind of expirience for me.

We can hardly believe our luck at finding Hannah and Steve's place - was absolutely perfect in every way for us, and they were so kind throughout, taking ample time to answer our questions or go the extra mile to make sure our 18 month old daughter was accommodated. Our daughter kept calling their yard 'The Park,' and no surprise, as it has a tree swing, woods, ducks, chickens, and more. Really comfortable bed and the breakfast is top-notch, local food. We look forward to our next visit.

If Carlsberg did B&Bs this would be it! For those that don't know the Carlsberg ads, this is an amazingly cool B&B experience that I highly recommend!

Fab place, Fab breakfast, just what we needed for a peaceful weekend away.

Making arrangements with Hannah was really straightforward. She was very helpful and replied quickly which made planning our trip much easier. Ivy's B&B is great. It is set in a lovely location and really close to Southampton and the New Forrest so is great for lots of different trips. The rooms are exactly like the photos; they are spotless and the bed is super comfy. Breakfast was spot on and set us up for the day and we even had Riley, their very friendly dog to keep us company while Hannah cooked! We had a great weekend and can't recommend Ivy's B&B enough!

Great stay! On arrival hosts were there to greet me and give me the keys. The room was Immaculate and beautiful. The bed was super comfortable and the bath was dreamy! Breakfast was a winner everyday and found it easy to access the back door with the key pad lock. All in all I felt very safe and had a very relaxing trip. I would 100% stay again or move in if they let me haha :)

Hannah was a lovely host, she was very pleasant and helpful on our arrival and you couldn't ask for anything more. We were shown to our room which was exactly how it was described and all questioned asked were answered. We were given a welcome pack with details of activities in the local area and places where we could go and eat which was very beneficial. There were also tea/coffee and hot chocolate all provided in the room which was a nice touch. The breakfast was very nice, food was cooked perfectly and the sizes were very generous too :) Thank you very much for our stay we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and your dog is very cute and friendly. Rhianna + Dan

Just wanted to say I had a great time here with my girlfriend. The cottage is in lovely settings and offers beautifully kept rooms. Hannah and her partner were very welcoming and cooked us a delicious breakfast during our stay. Highly recommend and we will certainly be coming back in the future!
