Very nice rooms and a great location. Unfortunately the kitchen flooded on the Saturday night so we couldn't get our cooked breakfasts. I realise this is beyond the hotels control but I cant give 5 stars without my cooked breakfast.

We had a lovely stay here as a family of 3. Breakfast was some of the best we’ve had, drink options were fantastic. The room spacious, clean and had everything in we could need. Minor thing to mention the room was extremely hot! Turned all heating off and opened the windows helped. We will for sure be returning. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

A GOOD PLACE TO STAY IN ROMSEY

The hotel is on the edge of Romsey with excellent parking. The picturesque walk into to the centre of town along the river bank is about half a mile. The staff are friendly and helpful and the hotel is comfortable. The restaurant is good too.

Lovely hotel and staff only we had a family room with 1 bed, albeit a super king. We assumed we’re all to sleep in the big bed only to be told the next morning that there should have been another bed put in the room. We were told that we would get it made up to us but nothing has been said or done since.

Good place to stay and explore

Rooms are good - size is OK, bathrooms good: powerful shower and huge fluffy towels. All very clean. Food in the restaurant very good - both breakfast and evening. Service in restaurant and bar nice and friendly 8-10 minute walk into centre of town.
