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. More

I've stayed at the Ellenborough House several times over the last five years. 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.

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

Needed somewhere to stay while we visit our son in university. We were welcomed by Nicola and shown a lovely room. The breakfast was lovely and the atmosphere very friendly. We will definitely look forward to staying there again next time we visit. More

I am a student who stayed at this Guest House for one week and it was great! The rooms are cosy and clean, the bathrooms are always very clean, the breakfast which is included in the price is delicious and there is a lot to choose from. The woman running the place is the most friendliest person I met here... More

small and charming b&b. Very neatly situated in Hill Street, 10-15 min walk from city centre or central railway station. Situated in a pleasant area, with short& easy walking distance to Southampton Common, other parks and the cozy 'High streets' of Portswood and Shirley. Good full English brekfast - or other brekfast from the menu - prepared to your choice... More
