Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Nice room, but shower tiles grubby, stains on ceiling in bathroom and shower shamppo holder was very dirty. Chair in room was badly stained, light switches - some worked some didn't with intermittent flickering. Beautiful old floor standing mirror however the tilt would only stay at floor view so could only see from knees down unless was held or you knelt on the floor
3 night stay. Cute English Pub. Big room. Bed is very small but comfortable. Fantastic breakfast included daily.. Had been travelling around so would have preferred washing facilities on site so had to find elsewhere off site. Would certainly return.
Lovely hotel with quaint and big rooms, beautifully furnished with all you need for a comfortable stay.
Bed and pillows were very comfortable and we slept very well. Road was not noisy. Nice big bathroom with a large shower area.Our friends had a bath and shower. Good selection of complimentary teas/coffee/water as well as a coffee machine in rooms. Good choices on breakfast menu, continental/full English. We enjoyed our full Englishg. Good service from all the staff overall.
Plenty of parking. Nice bar and large restaurant, which we did get to use that day. Will definitely be back one day.
This property is amazing. Beautiful and clean with an amazing little pub on site. Rooms was spacious, bed was comfortable, shower was the best ever with rainfall option. Only draw back was the location is very residential with nothing within walking distance so if you need access to a store or different dining options you require a car. However I recommend eating on site. Breakfast is excellent so make sure to get the breakfast option with your booking
The Pilgrim Inn is a charming inn and pub combination in Marchwood that we used for our night before our cruise out of Southampton. We loved everything about it - the rooms were great, our dinner and breakfast were great. The Manager also went out of her way to help us get transportation to the cruise port for our family of 5 with luggage, which is not easy on cruise embarkation days. I would definitely stay at the Pilgrim Inn again if I'm in the area, and highly recommend it!
The whole place was amazing, thatched roofs, picture post card looks, spacious rooms, well equipped and comfy. Food both in evening and breakfast - fabulous.
I’ve stayed here several times over the years and it is always good. The rooms are beautiful, parking is easy and the staff are friendly. My room was a little airless and stuffy this time with no easy way to open the windows, but it is an old property. the breakfast is great - honestly one of the best Eggs Benedict I have ever had. And I have had a lot. Highly recommended and great access for forest - alrthough you will need to drive.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Room was ok. There was mould in the bathroom We had a family above and we could here kids running around until 10pm at night. You walked across to the pub for breakfast and the doors were not open till 8am. We were the 2nd copule to arrive but they didnt take our order till after four others. 40min wait till breakfast come out. Breakfast pretty basic . Sauasge was cooked on the full english,toast was cold and hard
The staff work the Inn and Restaurant. The Inn is very quaint and well appointed but challenging to find staff to help with questions. Lovely flowers and nice grounds. Busy streets so no walking for us.
The Restaurant was empty upon our arrival for dinner and so one would expect dedicated service, staff more interested in talking to each other than delivering minor service. They were 3 feet from our table. We both had fish and chips. Bland greasy fish and fries. No service no tip.
Breakfast we had the same waitress she was chatty and more accommodating. No refills offered for coffee. Small servings for English breakfast. Yes we did tip her! We read the reviews but our experience unfortunately we did not share that type of positive experience. We had no wheels and convenience was important. We would stay at the Inn but try another place for meals and do our homework.
