Family-Friendly Hotel in Southampton
Second Nature Southampton is built for the whole family, dog included. Rooms come with a kitchen, a sofa and enough floor space for everyone to spread out, so a family break runs on your timings, not the hotel’s.
Let us know what your all need for your family holiday or short stay. Whether it’s interconnecting rooms, travel cots, high chairs or dog beds, we’re happy to help. Just let us know.
Family rooms
Large Loft rooms keep the family in one space, with a double bed for you and a bunk bed for the kids. For bigger groups, interconnecting rooms keep everyone close without everyone sharing a bathroom.
Every room has a kitchenette, an ensuite, a sofa and a large TV. Make tea when the kids are hungry, not when the restaurant opens. Bringing the dog? There’s a bed and bowl for them too.
Room for the whole family
Travelling as a family takes space, and most hotel rooms don't give you enough of it. These rooms come with extra square footage, so there's somewhere to play, unpack and regroup between plans.
There's a fully equipped kitchen for breakfasts, snacks and the odd early tea. Ask for a cot when you book and it'll be ready in the room, free of charge. The dog can come too, at no extra cost. Check in at 2pm and the room is yours until 2pm the next day. Winnie's is downstairs for the days nobody wants to cook.
Family-friendly facilities
Laundry
Spilt juice and muddy puddles still happen on holiday. Wash and dry clothes in the on-site laundry, with irons and ironing boards there too.
