We spontaneously booked at the last minute and had a wonderful time spent here! Very clean throughout with an excellent set up and everything you could need. The bed was super comfortable and a fantastic full cooked breakfast with plenty of choice. Very friendly hosts and I highly recommend staying here.

I stayed a week for a sailing theory course. Mike the host was accommodating with me arriving late and communication before arriving was very good. Breakfast was left in the fridge and I was told to help myself, which I was surprised and disappointed by. It’s a bit like being told to make your own bed: it’s fine but not what you’re paying for. I noticed the host cook and serve breakfast to a male guest on my final morning but this was not offered to me and it was made very clear that I was expected to sort myself out. Shampoo was poor quality and there was no conditioner. There are hairdryers. Kitchen had flour mites in the cupboards, the butter and ketchup were out of date and the bathrooms needed a clean and some TLC. The bedroom had a lovely view but the double bed is two singles stuck together so avoid it if you don’t like a hard ridge down the middle! The host assumed I had taken up sailing to keep up with my boyfriend, which I mention because it was demoralising and I find this kind of casual sexism makes me tired and annoyed. The location is amazing and the building is beautiful but I wouldn’t go back.…

I had an amazing time for my one night stay. The host were both so welcoming and made me feel well looked after. The entire bnb was very clean and had everything you required to feel at home. Breakfast was very tasty. Mike the host even offered to pick and dropped me off on arrival to hamble station and checkout. Compass Point is highly recommended for all and you won’t be disappointed.

A hearty welcome from the hosts, who showed me to very large double room at the rear upper storey. Perfectly furnished and spotlessly clean, no ensuite (other rooms do have ensuites) but with the bathroom immediately next door. Tea and coffee available from the kitchen and a well appointed lounge with many books and games available for guests. A fine breakfast the following morning set me off for the day. Parking is a few yards downhill on the one-way lane, free from 6pm to 8am and tickets roll over to the next day if your paid-for time extends past 6pm. Just £10 for a day. The Compass Point is easily found and conveniently situated for the various marinas and sailing locations at Hamble. Try the adjacent Bugle pub for drinks and meals.

We can not recommend Compass Point highly enough. The property and rooms are excellent with all the facilities you could with for and the hosts Christine and Mike could not do enough to make our stay a memorable one. The location is great and everything in Hamble right on the doorstep. Highly enjoyable stay and would like to go again in the future for another stay. Steve & Christine.

A pleasure to deal with. Due to confusion about accommodation within a group Mike had a room available at short notice. Gave tour of house - stunning! And great location. Once confusion resolved turned out no need for room and had to cancel but Mike waived charge! So although I never got to stay there they really are a pleasure to deal with and the house was absolutely lovely.

We would highly recommend this delightful bed and breakfast hotel. The hosts were very welcoming and breakfast was excellent. Within a few yards to the River Hamble, our room was also lovely with views of the river.

Lovely room with en-suite, very clean with a very comfortable bed, great nights sleep. We had the en-suite double room at the front which had river views, great to wake up to. The breakfast was superbly cooked and a nice selection of toast, fruit and cereals. The B&B itself is perfectly situated with bars and cafes close by and the waterfront only 100m away. Will definitely be going back. Highy recommended. Thanks Mike.
