Three modern, airy rooms. A proper full breakfast. A peaceful corner of Hampshire within a stone's throw of the Rose Bowl, the River Hamble and the Solent. From £45 per person, per night.
Primrose Cottage sits on a quiet residential stretch of Allington Lane in West End, just outside Southampton. No reception desk, no fuss — just three carefully kept rooms, the smell of breakfast in the morning, and hosts who actually want you here.
Whether you're sailing down the Solent, fishing the Hamble, heading to a summer concert at the Rose Bowl, or simply catching up with old friends, we'll make sure your stay is a memorable one. We've spent years getting to know this corner of Hampshire — and we're always happy to point you towards the good stuff.
A wonderful home-from-home experience — good value, great service and peaceful surroundings.
Every room has been recently refurbished with modern comforts, fresh linen and a flat-screen TV — but the bones of the cottage remain. Cosy, calm and quiet.
Our brightest room, overlooking the back garden. Twin beds that convert to a generous double — perfect for friends walking the Solent Way or a couple touring Hampshire.
A romantic double at the top of the house, sloping ceilings and a deep armchair by the window. Our most-requested room for couples heading to the Rose Bowl on a summer evening.
A quiet, cosy single-plus looking out over Allington Lane. The favourite of solo sailors, walkers and visiting friends who just want somewhere peaceful to lay their head.
Breakfast is the heart of any B&B, and ours is no exception. Served in the cottage dining room from 7:30, it's the kind of meal that sees you all the way to lunch — and beyond, if you've a mind to walk it off along the Hamble.
Locally sourced bacon and sausages, eggs cooked your way, fresh tomatoes, mushrooms and toast. Plus a continental selection, fresh fruit and yoghurt for lighter mornings.
Tucked on Allington Lane in West End, the cottage is a one-minute walk from the river, ten minutes from the M27, and a short drive to Southampton, Eastleigh or the Solent. Concert at the Ageas Bowl? You can practically walk home.
"Exactly what a B&B should be — warm welcome, spotless room and a breakfast that kept me going all day on the boat. Will be back."
"Stayed for a concert at the Ageas Bowl. A five-minute taxi back and a proper cup of tea waiting in the room. Faultless value."
"Quiet, comfortable and genuinely friendly. The hosts know every good walk along the Hamble. Felt like staying with old friends."
We're a small, three-room B&B and we like to keep things personal — so give us a call and we'll happily talk you through availability, the rooms and any local advice you might need.
From £45 per person, per night, including breakfast.
