Hamble village, a centre of yachting on the south coast, has many links with the water; four marinas, three boatyards, sailing schools, chandleries, brokers, boat shares and much more. The club itself was originally a Victorian house, updated and extended over the years, the bedrooms were refurbished in 2020. Our accommodation is offered as room only, there are many options locally for breakfast, lunch and an evening meal. Breakfast is available at Jennie’s from 08.00, by 09.00 the Beach Cafe will be open with river views. There are also 4 pubs and a dozen or more restaurants or cafes so you wont go hungry or thirsty. We are within walking distance of all these and offer parking for residents.
