The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Fareham Solent

Comfy, Convenient Stay Between Portsmouth and Southampton

Modern and relaxed, Holiday Inn Fareham Solent sits on the edge of the scenic Meon Valley, just outside the charming village of Titchfield. Perfectly placed between Portsmouth and Southampton—both within a 10-mile radius—this hotel offers a peaceful base with easy motorway access, modern comforts, and a warm, welcoming vibe.

Why Concert-goers love it

With both Portsmouth and Southampton's music venues just a short drive away, this hotel is a smart choice for gig-goers looking to explore the South Coast music scene. Its location near the M27 makes late-night returns a breeze, and the quiet, leafy setting is ideal for winding down after a loud show. Flexible check-in from 15:00 and a relaxed atmosphere make it easy to settle in before or after your event.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends on a concert weekend
  • Solo travelers seeing a favorite artist in a nearby city
  • Couples turning a show into a weekend getaway
  • Fans needing recovery time in a quieter, countryside setting
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for solid value with amenities

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up tasty British classics and light meals, with a selection of European wines to toast the night. While there’s no 24/7 dining or room service, the bar and lounge offer convenient bites and drinks before bed. Breakfast is available daily, perfect for a slow start after a late night. Plus, kids eat free when sharing a room with parents—great for family concert trips.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself isn’t a nightlife hotspot, you’re just a short drive from the bustling bar scenes of Portsmouth or Southampton. Whether you're after a quiet pint or a post-gig celebration, local pubs and late-night lounges are within easy reach. The hotel bar is a calm spot to enjoy a nightcap in a more laid-back setting.

What People Say

Guests often highlight the friendly staff, comfortable beds, and clean, spacious rooms. The health club with pool, sauna, and hot tub earns praise, especially for soothing tired feet after standing through a setlist. Many appreciate the hotel’s location for combining convenience with peace and quiet.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the décor feels a little dated in places, and the £5 daily parking fee could be a surprise for those expecting free parking. Also, while the area is quiet, it’s not walkable to nightlife—so plan transport accordingly if you’re out late.

The Bottom Line

Holiday Inn Fareham Solent is a peaceful, well-equipped base for concert-goers heading to Portsmouth or Southampton, offering comfort, value, and easy access to the action.

Mixed review

Liked: The room and facilities were great. Great value for money.
Disliked: The evening meal was overpriced, and service wasn't the best. We were charged £40 for a bottle of wine that's £12.50 in Tesco.Breakfast was priced at £25 p/p but was poor, not worth the money.
