I stayed one night whilst working locally and I have to say this is the best b&b you could ever hope to find. Unassuming from the outside, once inside the place is spotless and with more facilities in your room than many a 4 star hotel (from free wi fi to cotton buds) Nicola is a perfect host and the...

I stayed at Nicola's for three weeks during my internship at the University of Southampton and felt perfectly at home from the first day on. My room was always clean, convenient, pretty, and cosy. The lounge, too, is very comfortable and when I sat there, Nicola accompanied me for a nice chat. All the time, I felt perfectly cared for... More

I have stayed several times at Ellenborough House due to attending the University and Princess Anne Hospital, every time I have had a good nights sleep followed by an excellent freshly cooked breakfast. The rooms I have stayed in have been very clean and comfortable. The free wi-fi is quicker than my home internet! I would definately reccomend Ellenborough House.

And although I tried another couple of B&B's when it was fully booked, the Ellenborough remains my first choice whenever I'm in Southampton. Nicola is the perfect host, breakfast is cooked just as you like it and the whole place is spotlessly clean. And there's good free... More

I have stayed at Ellenborough House several times now whilst studying at Southampton Uni. Nicola never fails to provide a warm welcome, delicious home-cooked breakfasts, and as much help as she can offer with any special requests. The rooms are more than adequately furnished, clean and warm. I chose not to have an en-suite and never had any problem accessing... More

I had to make an unexpected trip from Australia to Southampton for my Father's funeral. I found Nicola to be extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. I was impressed with the professional service that the guest house offered, its wide range of breakfast options, high standard of cleanliness, excellent vacinity, no noise and the value for money. I found it to... More
