Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debra N. 8 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Amanda and Ian’s place is truly beautiful with its ocean blue decor, so appropriate for a seaside city. I was welcomed with some food basics and the assurance of the availability of laundry detergent. They were extremely responsive to all my questions and rescued me when a grocery delivery went awry. The place is within walking distance of the University of Southampton in a quiet neighborhood. I can’t recommend this lovely place highly enough. \*Please note that those with physical limitations may struggle a bit with the steps to the upstairs bedroom and bathroom and getting in and out of the tub/shower. But other than that, the Lighthouse was truly, truly lovely. Amanda and Ian are amazing hosts with a true gift of hospitality! ##### Debra N. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gill T. 4 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous little property! We had a lovely break at the Lighthouse last weekend. Beautifully presented, thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed and plenty of storage space for a longer stay. The breakfast essentials and chilled drinks were a lovely touch - thank you! Super-clean and tidy and located in a lovely quiet road. Hope to be back for a return visit when we are next in the area. ##### Gill T.
