Anyone in/near Southampton - where to park?
Anyone in or around the Southampton area recommend the best place to park for 1 week near the docks?

Going on a cruise in the summer and need to find somewhere to park for 7 days and/or a hotel that offers parking.

Any recommendations ??

Don't know about parking but if you need a hotel the night before the Holiday inn is right next to where the ships dock, i did a season sailing out of southampton and when i signed my mother on to cruise she stayed there and its perfect, walking distance to the ship..

the 'titanic' dock as i called it is a little further out of the way, we only docked there once and it was unfortunatley the windiest arrival in southampton I've done... few concerned faces on the bridge that morning... Shocked

Hello Mean Green

Several options here...

I've only done the deliver / collect thing, worth checking the Hotels but
they may not 'look after your car' whilst your away, so a 'short term'
parking option at a secure location is probably your best best (like flying)

Likewise , if you want to park on my drive in Winchester you are welcome . Cruising is big business in Southampton and there are a lot of fly by night parking operations that seem to come and go . Some are great some not so.

You could alternatively fly in to Southampton airport ? HR064 Hampshire and Berkshire 4x4 Response

Thanks for the replies and offers. I have a little time to look into the options, but I may take someone up on the offers.

Will have kids and OAP in tow, so will have a look as what is easiest. And other half is not best flier, or that would have been the easiest option.

Plenty of parking at dock gate 10 that's near the Holiday inn. Not to sure at dock gate 4. Try Intercuise they may do parking

I'm near Ringwood (20 ish miles from the docks) . If you don't find anything closer or convenient let me know. Probably can park it on my drive for the week.
