Cruise Parking Solved: Meon Valley Hotel Southampton
Today WE are getting ready for another cruise, but before we head to Southampton Cruise Terminal, we have a pre-cruise stay at the Meon Valley Hotel, Spa & Golf near Southampton. This is a very useful part of our cruise routine because our stay includes cruise parking and transfers to Southampton Cruise Terminal, meaning we can leave the car at the hotel and start the cruise without the usual worry about where to park. In this vlog, WE take you around the Meon Valley Hotel and have a good look at what this Hampshire hotel has to offer. We explore the hotel, its public areas and facilities, including the spa and leisure facilities, indoor swimming pool, golf facilities, restaurant and surrounding grounds. Set in around 225 acres of Hampshire countryside, Meon Valley is certainly in a peaceful location, yet it is still within easy reach of Southampton and the cruise port. The hotel is advertised as being around a 20-minute drive from Southampton Cruise Terminal, making it particularly interesting for anyone looking for a hotel before a cruise. And just to be clear, this vlog is about the hotel, its facilities and our pre-cruise experience — it is NOT a room review, so if you are looking specifically for a bedroom tour, that will be out very soon ! We hope you enjoy coming along with us as WE explore the Meon Valley Hotel before setting off on our cruise. If you are planning a cruise from Southampton, perhaps you're considering a Southampton cruise hotel with parking and transfers, this may give you a useful look at what the hotel and its facilities are like. Meon Valley also has some interesting golf history, with an 18-hole championship course and a 9-hole Valley Course, giving the property a distinctly country-club feel. So grab a cuppa, sit back and come along with us as WE begin the next part of our cruise adventure! Have you ever stayed at a hotel before a Southampton cruise?
