Three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms for up to seven guests: a king room with its own en suite, twin singles, a single room and a lounge sofa bed for two. There's a lounge, a light-filled conservatory and a breakfast-bar kitchen, outside a private patio, and off-road parking for one car plus a permit for another. Bedford Place is about 11 minutes' walk, and the cruise terminals around 6 minutes by car.

Bringing your dog

Up to three dogs are welcome, and a pet fee applies.



Good to know

It's an ordinary inner-city road, but shops, buses and the city are close. Guests can't use the garage. Please keep things quiet from 10 at night until 8 in the morning, for the neighbours.



Guest Access:

The whole house is yours. Arrive any time between 4 and 9 pm and use the lockbox; leave by 10 am. One car parks on the drive. For a second car, use the council permit you'll find inside, then leave it behind for the next guests. Without a permit, the road is one-hour parking.



The Neighborhood:

Mordaunt Road sits just off The Avenue, north of the city centre. On foot: Bedford Place 11 minutes, Portswood 19, the Mayflower Theatre 20, Southampton Common and St Mary's Stadium 23, Southampton Central 25, WestQuay 26 and the Bargate 27. By car: the cruise terminals 6 to 8 minutes, Ocean Village 7, Southampton General Hospital 10. The Common, with its woods and ponds, is a great space for children to run off steam.



Getting Around:

Buses to the city centre run close by. Southampton Central station, for direct trains to London Waterloo, is about 25 minutes on foot, and Southampton Airport Parkway is around 8 minutes by car.



Other Things to Note:

ID check and deposit: after booking, the lead guest completes a short ID check and deposit step with our partner SafeGuest. You choose either a Damage Deposit of £350 (your card is saved and nothing is taken up front; it can only be charged for a claim SafeGuest approves after check-out) or SafeGuest's No Deposit fee of £40 (a one-off fee paid to SafeGuest). If you can't use the photo ID check, message us and we'll arrange a short video call instead. Please don't send ID documents by email. Your booking is on the Blue Puffin Stays Booking Terms (Guests) and the House Rules for this home.



Interaction with Guests:

Our local Blue Puffin Stays team looks after Mordaunt Road and answers Vrbo messages every day from 8 am to 8 pm, with help on arrival until 9 pm. Let us know in advance if you need the travel cot or high chair set out. For a genuine emergency, use the number in your check-in details at any time.
