Great stay

It was a really lovely overnight stay, we couldn’t fault anything. Staff were friendly and attentive. Our room was lovely with everything you could need, lovely selection of coffee and tea, yummy biscuits and even a bottle of Porter to enjoy. The bed was very comfortable and great toiletries supplied. We had an evening meal which was very nice and the complimentary breakfast was delicious and set us up for the day. If in the area would definitely revisit

Great place to stay

This is an amazing place to stay overnight at before a cruise we were to pick up in Southampton the next day. We stayed here last year for the same reason. The rooms are lovely, staff are very welcoming and the food is great. Romsey is a lovely town to explore, short walk along the river test, through a lovely park, have a look round the Cathedral on the way, very nice.

One night stay we had a lovely time and rooms well equipped. The hot weather made the room hot and air con would be a benefit. All rooms are on the ground floor. Food was great. Poor and inadequate lighting in the ladies toilet in the bar area.
