Train to Gatwick airport. See http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ I presume the Holiday Inn has an airport shuttle? Otherwise take a taxi.

Also National Express coaches will drop you at the airport with easy links to the hotels in the area.
The coach is likely to be a lot less expensive than the train. If you're travelling at the weekend, it's worth checking about engineering work on railway lines. If there is any, you'll end up on a bus anyway!

@Maggie - I checked the National Express site and did not find a Southampton-Gatwick coach.

I just checked. It's there. Southampton Coach station to Gatwick North Terminal.
About £24 one way (less if you're over 60). Cheers Maggie

@Maggie - ah, I checked Southampton Cruise Ferry Terminal, since that seemed the most likely starting point. BTW, there's a direct train on a random July date for 10 GBP.

Kathy, If you can get any UK train journey for £10, I say grab it!! Nelson, there's a free shuttle bus service in Southampton, does a round trip from the railway station to the city center and down to the quay, it runs frequently.
Best wishes, Maggie
