This bed & breakfast is one of the best. The room is spacious, the breakfast is fit for a king. Hannah is very helpful and nothing is too much trouble.

We were given a very warm welcome. The room was spotlessly clean and airy and met all our requirements. The breakfast was superb and we would certainly return should we be in the area.

This B&B is well situated for the New Forest and Southampton and travellers should not be put off by its location. Easy access to Beaulieu and Buckler's Hard.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hannah and Steve very welcoming and Riley a delight. Fabulous breakfast. Very comfortable bed and lovely linen. I had a beautiful view across garden and countryside from my window, very peaceful and restful. I will definitely recommend to friends and I will return too.

I am a gardens and countryside person. I would recommend a trip to Exbury Gardens, and a great place for a tasty salad lunch. Also Hilliers Garden Centre and Arboretum in Romsey. Beautiful walking amongst fabulous trees and delicious cake and coffee.

We had a very good stay in this place.

4th April 2018:

Room beautifully decorated with a fabulous bathroom and comfortable bed. Plus a delicious breakfast in the morning and friendly hosts with an adorable dog. What more could you ask ?

Just a few minutes drive from the forest for plenty of good walks and good country pubs. Would recommend the Oak Inn at Bank and the Pig at Brockenhurst. Or if you're heading the other way into Southampton then pay the Dancing Man Brewery a visit for good food and beer.

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd April 2018:

Ivy's B&B is in a very peaceful location. The room was immaculately clean and the staff very friendly. My husband stated that he breakfast was the best he had ever had at a B&B or hotel.

Southampton city is just a short drive away, so you have the best of both worlds. B&B easy to find.

Would Recommend: Yes

13th February 2018:

Great location, Fantastic Hosts, incredible breakfast, lovely rooms and a very friendly spaniel to welcome you! Will definitely book again.

Local pubs and eateries, Southampton and the Cruise terminal 20 mins away and the New Forrest 10 mins away.

Would Recommend: Yes

10th January 2018:

Gracious hosts, beautiful house, very clean, gorgeous furnishings, comfy bed, tasty breakfast, and, best of all, super friendly/cute dog! We'll miss you Riley!

Pub right next door is great for a drink. Easy driving distance to Southampton and New Forest. Our favorite place to eat was the Oak Inn in Lyndhurst!

Would Recommend: Yes

13th November 2017:

Very good communication and accommodating.

Pub next door only open certain days of the week but very friendly and nice place to enjoy a pizza and a pint. Also occasional live music. Well worth a visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

13th November 2017:

What a lovely little place. Very friendly. The room was perfect with a super comfy bed, nice cotton bedding and a great shower room. Breakfast was perfectly cooked and the hospitality was great. I was surprised that they didn't take card payments(although this may have been documented somewhere and I missed it)... highly recommended and when I need a bolt hole again I will return!!

Would Recommend: Yes

9th November 2017:

First class,friendly accommodation. Spotlessly clean with every requirement catered for, even a small fridge on the landing with fresh milk for tea and coffe in your room. Idyllic surroundings in a small hamlet with a pub next door and a beautiful church makes you feel removed from the hustle and bustle and yet a short walk takes you over a quaint toll bridge to Totton with a good selection of shops, supermarket, pubs and cafes. Highly recommend for a relaxing break with lots of places to visit close by. Oops nearly forgot the breakfast - yummy, yummy!

An ideal spot to visit Southampton, Salisbury, Winchester and the New Forest. You can even leave your car, stroll down to Totton and catch a bus to any of the above - relax and enjoy.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th October 2017:

Another great stay, lovely big room, beautifully decorated. Nice and peaceful, slept like a log.

King Rufus pub next door, not open during this visit, so tried The Anchor by the Tide Mill, good location, staff very friendly, food basic pub fayre.

Would Recommend: Yes

29th October 2017:

Very nice house, clean and comfortable room. Excellent breakfast. Hannah was very friendly.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th October 2017:

We did not have a car, so we took an easy walk into Eling center, passing St Mary's church and cemetery, both very interesting. There is a hand-forged gate that is remarkable at the entrance to the walk along the church and cemetery. We only stayed overnight on our way to Southampton and a crossing on Queen Mary2. Our room was bright and very clean. Our windows overlooked the duck pen and meadow. On arrival, it was easy for us to take a cab from Southampton's National Express Coach station (from Heathrow) to Ivy's and return to embarkation on QM2 the next day.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th October 2017:

Clean, comfortable and beautifully furnished room. Cooked breakfast was delicious. Outstanding value for money.

17th September 2017:

The Ivy bed and breakfast is a delight to stay at. The bedrooms are clean and beautifully decorated. Bedroom 1 has a gorgeous bathroom with a stand alone bath and big shower. The breakfast is amazing, freshly cooked with quality ingredients. Only a short drive into Southampton a much nicer and friendlier alternative to a hotel. Highly recommended.

Would Recommend: Yes

6th September 2017:

Our hosts (and their dog) were very welcoming and friendly. The rooms - bedroom and en suite bathroom - were huge and sunny. They were extremely comfortable and well equipped. All of this overlooking a lovely garden with ducks.

Definitely try the King Rufus pub next door! There are also nice walks along the waterfront near the Eling tide mill.

Would Recommend: Yes

29th August 2017:

Pretty quiet location, the back bedroom overlooks the garden where there are ducks. Lovely breakfast sets you up for the day.

We visited Bursledon Brickworks, SO31 7HB. This was really interesting with a lot more to see than we realised.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st August 2017:

It was our second stay at Ivy's B&B. Just like last time, we had a great stay. Steve and Hannah are great hosts. We definitly come back a next time.

The pub next door is very nice and the owners are just as friendly as Hannah and Steve. On Friday there is a Pizza night and on Saturday live music.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th July 2017:

Fresh milk for the bedroom hot drinks was a nice touch. Loved the setting. As discussed, bathroom in Rm 3 was a tad small, particularly for my height, look forward to experiencing one of the other larger options next time!

The King Rufus pub next door, was very welcoming with good beer and food (very limited menu) and on Saturdays some great live music which varies from week to week.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th July 2017:

Very clean and comfortable with a great breakfast

Would Recommend: Yes

18th July 2017:

Lovely peaceful B&B that is comfortable and homely. With a nice cafe/pub next door (literally) and other eateries just across the river it is a great place to stay. Loved the ducks, the garden and of course Riley!

Make a few days of it. We stayed one night because we were travelling onwards to the port but wished we'd stayed a couple of nights now.

Would Recommend: Yes

16th July 2017:

Would Recommend: Yes

9th July 2017:

One of the best B&B's that we have ever stayed in "at home or abroad", it really is a 5 Star experience staying at Ivy's, but that's topped up by the welcome you get from Riley the resident pooch :-) Over the years we have stayed at near all the Hotels in Southampton overnighting before going for a cruise. The Hotels used to be decent, now they are looking tired and their rates have gone up quite a bit, add to that they can be noisy. We would highly recommend Ivy's for a pre cruise stay, or just a quiet week end, nice pub next door, or a 10 minute walk down a country lane to "The Village Bells" where they put on some pretty decent food and a great pint at very reasonable prices.

If you get a taxi from Southampton make sure the meter is running, we were charged £30 by one of the taxi's on the rank at Southampton Central railway station. The next day Hanna @ Ivy's called a local taxi for us, they took us further {to the Cunard Dock} and only charged us £18 !!!

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd July 2017:

Nice and relaxed attitude. Lovely breakfast.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th June 2017:

Lovely place to stay, delicious breakfast, comfy bed, wonderful roll top bath big enough to really relax after a busy day.... everything we needed had been thought of. Thank you!

Pub next door lovely. It is called the King Rufus. Go on a Friday early evening to have local ale and wood fired oven pizza (only on Friday and they finish serving at 8.15) or go on a Saturday for music. Finish with a game of table tennis on their outdoor table...

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd June 2017:

Room was beautiful, very well presented and clean, bed was comfortable. Breakfast was great.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd June 2017:

22nd June 2017:

Perfect and peaceful location near Southhampton. Hannah and Steve and the dog Riley will give You a warm welcome. Hannahs Breakfast is delicious.

The anchor inn for dinner with harbour view

Would Recommend: Yes

19th June 2017:

You guys were so friendly and welcoming! Really enjoyed the late night beers around the BBQ and Riley the dog.

Absolutely loved the outdoor space but it comes at the cost of being quite far from public transport so would recommend this bnb to drivers.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th June 2017:

very quiet. beautiful setting

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd June 2017:

A lovely B&B, well situated for the New Forest and close to Southampton. Very comfortable room, well appointed, though the basin in room 3 is a bit small. Delicious large breakfast, no need to eat for the rest of the day!

The pub next door is only open some days but it is less than a half-mile walk to the Anchor, on Bartley Water, which serves standard pub food.

Would Recommend: Yes

29th May 2017:

Ivy's is a great place to stay, made so by Hannah and Steve's friendly yet unobtrusive style. Our room, number 2, was a decent size, attractively furnished and showed attention to detail - biscuits with the drinks facilities, fresh milk, tissues, cotton buds, water and wine glasses, good quality towels. Breakfast featured good quality produce and their own duck eggs. WE really enjoyed our stay - thanks!

The King Rufus pub next door is welcoming, doesn't seem to advertise food other than pizza on Friday's but Philippa will put something together for you. Gypsy swing jazz on the Saturday night we visited that saw Roy the landlord appear from the toilets with his double bass to join in.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd May 2017:

Hannah and her husband warmly welcome you to their home. Our room was lovely and cosy and the breakfast was excellent. The location was nice and quiet and ideal for those needing to stay overnight before flying from Southampton Airport or going on a cruise or for simply needing a base for visiting the area.

Would Recommend: Yes

29th April 2017:

Excellent location, accomodation, food and service. The quality of the b and b and its peaceful location make Ivy's B&B excellent value.

Good local pup with food within 10 minutes walk for an evening meal in a friendly location

Great stay at Ivy's, lovely clean room and friendly hosts.cute little pub right next door too which is handy.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th January 2017:

Coming at a quiet time of year and being the only visitors we were rather spoiled and had Riley almost all to ourselves! What can we add to previous reviews? Excellent food, well appointed room, warm and snug, wifi, TV, even a fridge for fresh milk for our in-room tea/coffee, and breakfast eggs straight from the hens in the back garden. Country cottage living doesn't get much better than this. We'll be back :o)

Be prepared for LOTS of cuddles with Riley !!

We stayed for 2 nights in Room 2. It was lovely and clean, had a very comfy bed with good quality linen, an effective shower and tea and coffee making facilities with fresh milk avaiable. We had a delicious breakfast each morning. Highly recommended

Would Recommend: Yes

13th November 2016:

A warm welcome and a lovely stay in a beautiful room with a fantastic breakfast. Will definitely return.

Take care when finding the property it can be tricky particularly in the dark because the lane is split by a main road. Make sure you enter Eling into the Sat Nav and if you get lost head for the King Rufus pub which is a couple of doors away.

30th September 2016:

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Room 1. Hannah was a very kind and gracious host. Breakfast was cooked beautifully. We would highly recommend this charming and comfortable B&B to others.

We followed directions from Google Maps to Ivy's B&B without a problem. A short drive to Southampton will present you with multiple options for dining, shopping and entertainment.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th September 2016:

Hannah and Steve are great hosts and serve a very well cooked and generous breakfast with eggs from their own ducks and chickens. Our room was large and airy, very clean and had a wonderful large roll top bath with plenty of piping hot water. We will certainly book with them again when next we are in the area.

There are lots of lovely places to visit along the coast and in the New Forest. We went for the Southampton Boat Show for which Ivy's was only 10 minutes drive away. It was lovely to get back to the peace and tranquility after a busy day at the Show.

30th August 2016:

Hannah and Steve are the perfect hosts. They are a very fun loving couple with a chilled outlook on life. We stayed in room 1 which is a large airy room with a gorgeous large attached bathroom with a fantastic rolled top bath. Hannah's breakfast is to die for. It's large and very tasty consisting of local sausages and fresh eggs from their own chickens. It really sets you up nicely for the day. I can't praise Ivy's B & B enough and we will definitely be returning for another stay. Thanks Hannah and Steve

Ivy's is a really gorgeous little place. Hannah made me feel totally welcome and at ease, without being intrusive. My room ('cosy double') was a good size with a small but perfectly designed en suite, and all the extras you need (TV, hairdryer, tea/coffee, toiletries) plus a lovely view over the beautiful garden and the chickens/ducks! It also has the most comfortable bed and pillows I have ever slept on! The breakfast room is spacious and the food is absolutely delicious, the variety on offer is brilliant for such a small place. I can't wait to go again!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thoroughly enjoyed staying at Ivys. The owners were very friendly and made us both feel welcome. Breakfast was really nice too.

The place is easy to get to and is located in a quiet location. It is close to a local pub that serves quality food as well.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st June 2016:

Exceptional - perfect weekend! Charming country cottage, tastefully decorated, peaceful, comfortable, clean, friendly, fab breakfast! Easy to find, ample parking, huge garden, cute ducks, felt quite rural, yet only a few minutes drive to city centre! Loved Riley, gorgeous dog. Sorry to leave - hope to be back soon.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st June 2016:

Lovely hosts and lovely service. The cottage is located in a nice and quiet area with a big garden. The room was clean and the space was used cleverly for storage. Everything you need is catered for and the breakfast is lovely.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th June 2016:

A warm welcome in a relaxed atmosphere, made to feel at home. A very nice house with lovely bedrooms. Very clean and tidy. Fresh milk available for in-room tea/coffee was very nice. I should have re-iterated the need for a gluten free diet prior to arrival. Breakfast was very good but perhaps the tea could be served in a teapot rather than a cup with teabag?! A very pleasant and comfortable one-night stay, thank you.

Great location, quiet and rural. Close to the New Forest but this was not my reason for staying. Two local pubs, one right next door the other within walking distance. The 'local' does have limited opening times. Eling Tide Mill will be a great local attraction when renovated.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th June 2016:

Absolutely ideal location whether you're intention is to spend time in Southampton or see the New Forest (which we haven't yet). Our room was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated in natural calming tones, which after a long drive was very welcome as all we wanted to do was relax. The ensuite was also immaculately clean, tastefully decorated and spacious. The owners were very accommodating and helpful. They had thought of everything to make our stay as relaxing and enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a cooked breakfast which was probably the best we've ever had when staying away from home.

Perfect for New Forest, Southampton theatres, pre & post cruise stays, or like us visiting our daughter who is just finishing her studies in Southampton. We'll definitely come back and stay for a few days, so we can explore this beautiful part of Hampshire more fully.

Would Recommend: Yes

10th June 2016:

A good and enjoyable stay!!Thank you.

Would Recommend: Yes

31st May 2016:

My husband, two children and myself stayed here the weekend. I cannot speak highly enough about the owners, they were so friendly and would put themselves out everyday to make your stay special. While my husband and I would eat breakfast they would take the kids and feed the chickens with them, my kids felt comfortable with them and their beautiful dog 'Riley'. The house itself is beautiful, clean and well kept. The garden is simply gorgeous!! Defo be back to this gem.

The b&b have a pub next door which is ideal for a cheeky drink. For food we went into a little town called lynhurst which was 10 minutes drive. Lots of places to choose from. The b&b is very close to a lovely farm that the kids loved, poultons park and a zoo. It's a great spot.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th May 2016:

A warm welcome, a most comfortable bed, and then a top class breakfast, this lovely B and B cannot be beaten!

The Anchor Inn, recommended by our hosts, provided a good evening meal. Walking by the river was good, the harbour is interesting. The Tide Mill should be good when refurbished.

A beautifully maintained B&B in a quaint setting, only minutes away from the centre of Southampton. Hannah and Steve, the hosts, were welcoming, helpful and friendly. They took care of all our needs and made us feel right at home. The full English breakfast was delicious and served in a comfortable setting. The room was delightful, with lovely en suite facilities and ample furniture. Definitely a place we will return to if we head back that way and will recommend to anyone else going there too! Thank you both.

Great location for visiting Newforest or Southampton. Local village is beautiful. Anchors Arms is only a few minutes' drive away and served delicious food at very good prices. Southampton offers many delights, including amazing touring shows at The Mayflower Theatre.

19th October 2015:

Fantastic from start to finish. A lovely couple, their dog was a real cutie and the house and gardens were gorgeous. Breakfast was amazing every day and cooked upon request, exactly how we wanted it. Our room was awesome - the biggest in the three available and had a roll top bath and rain shower too overlooking the garden and chickens. If we are ever in the area again we'll definitely bear them in mind.

The pub next door was not serving food when we stayed but possibly due to change owners. Check out the list of restaurants the B+B give you. We tried a local pub and a Thai place - both lovely.

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd September 2015:

We were pleased to stay 2 nights at this B&B. This is a really high quality B&B finished to a very high specification and yet it was homely and comfortable. We received a very warm welcome. Parking was off road. This is a delightful B&B. Our room was huge and spotless and there was lots of space to put our travelling stuff. The bed was also huge with lots of pillows. There was a large window which looked out the front of the property and it was quiet at night. The decor was lovely with natural colours. It also had an enormous bathroom with a powerful shower, and a roll top bath in the centre looking out to the back garden and apple trees,. A proper english garden. The bath was lovely and so were the luxurious high quality towels (a rare find I find in B&B’s nowadays). My only niggle was the bathroom floor was tiled and I was worried about slipping or dropping something on it, that said anti slip mats were provided and it wouldn’t put me off staying there again. There was a lovely selection of teas and coffee in our room with lovely big mugs and a large TV. Breakfasts were delicious with local produce and eggs from the garden. We would not hesitate to stay here again, it is much better than a hotel, in fact we could quite easily move in!

Lovely B & B tucked away in beautiful surroundings although tricky to drive in and out of Eling. Fabulous Full English breakfast. En- suite was a little small although shower was a good size. A seat for the dressing table would be a good idea. Bed too soft for us although others would think floating on cloud.

Eling Tide Mill is currently being refurbished so not open until Dec next year.

The room in Ivy's B&B is very cosy, comfortable and clean. The location is nice, quiet and has a lovely garden. They have a private parking. Breakfast is great, a lot of choice! Hannah and Steve a very friendly and helpfull. (giving information about for exemple where to eat, to go and how to get there.) And Riley is the cutest dog! I would absolutely recommend a stay at Ivy's!

Visit New Forest Dinner at the Indian restaurant in Totton. (10 to 15 min. walk from the B&B)

You had a lovely approach, that worked for us, of mixing a modern facility and service with traditional values. Well done.

Certainly recommend stopping here as a leap frog point for cruising facilities. We stopped for one night and left the car for a week for the same price of parking the car at the dock. Great place as a B&B for New Forest biking hols.

A truly lovely place to stay. Peaceful location, with a beautiful garden and cottage feel. Very tastefully decorated, very comfortable bed and fabulous bathroom. The rolltop bath in the middle was a lovely surprise! Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming and the breakfast delicious. Definitely an address to remember and we would love to come back!

Very well placed for the New Forest and the Isle of Wight, both of which we visited during our stay. Some lovely pubs to eat and drink at within a 15 minute drive.

Hannah and Steve are delightful hosts and their house is a perfect place for a quiet retreat right on the edge of the New Forest. The bedrooms are beautifully appointed and all the facilities are top class. I also have to mention the breakfast as it was one of the best I have had! We only stayed one night but will definitely book again if in the area. Highly recommended!
