Hi there, your room in my home is a nice size room which has a four foot bed in. There is wifi and a tv in the double room but apart from that it is a step back in time room. There is also a single room which is a bit more modern with a desk. There is off road parking and the garden has a lot of wildlife. If you are lucky, you may get to see a fox or two.
We are near shops, bus routes, train stations and the airport. The University is about 3 kilometres and there are plenty of buses running frequently. We are also near a lovely big park that runs alongside the river where there is Woodmill Outside Activity Centre. The Ageas Bowl is 7 minutes drive away and about the same for the Southampton Football Stadium.
I charge £15 per second person per night or £30 if they want the separate single room. I'm afraid smokers are not welcome, I'm an ex smoker (Yep the worst) So smoking in or around the home is a big no-no. If your clothes smell of smoke you will be asked to leave. Non refundable. If you have an aversion to pork then I'm sorry you probably won't want to stay either as my dog and I love a bacon and sausages. :-)

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
