Lodge at Solent Review | Where to Stay Before Your Cruise from Southampton
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
It's a smaller separate venue, but it's well priced and a fantastic option if you're looking for something a little further out with a more open and relaxed feel, but not too far from Southampton.
I'd also recommend this location for families as they both have family and interconnecting rooms.
The bed was a generous super king-size, complete with soft pillows and a fluffy duvet, so I got a very comfortable night's sleep.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by the lodge at Solent.
