Melrose

Melrose is a three-bedroom semi-detached house near Portswood in Southampton, sleeping up to seven, with a driveway, a sunny enclosed garden, a conservatory and a large kitchen-diner. Dogs are welcome.

Who it suits

Families visiting someone at Southampton General, people working in the city for a week or more, and families and friends who want room to spread out. Guests describe it as spacious, clean and exactly as photographed.

Sleeping and bathroom

There's a king-size bedroom, a twin room and a single room, and a sofa bed in the living room sleeps two more. The family bathroom has both a bath and a shower.

Living and cooking

The kitchen-dining area has a breakfast bar, a dishwasher, oven and microwave, and the conservatory adds extra seating. There's a workspace with Wi-Fi, and a washing machine and tumble dryer for longer stays.

Outside and parking

The enclosed back garden is compact but sunny, with a patio, and dogs are welcome (£50 per pet when you book here). There's a driveway and free street parking, and we can arrange a street permit for a second car.

Getting around

The shops on Bevois Valley Road are about six minutes' walk, St Denys station about 10 and Portswood about 14. Bedford Place is around 17 minutes on foot, Southampton Common about 21 and Southampton Central about half an hour. By car, Southampton General is about 9 minutes away, Ocean Village and the cruise terminals 7 to 8, Southampton Airport Parkway about 7, and the M3 and M27 around 10.

Worth knowing

There's one bathroom for up to seven guests. The driveway is steep and can be awkward when cars are parked close by, so a street permit is the easy alternative. It's a busy residential area, so expect some city noise. Stays of up to 89 nights can be booked online; for 90 nights or more, or for a company booking, please get in touch first. Booking here on our website gets you our best price, as booking sites add their own fees.
