A really comfortable stay. Nice decor, themed around the River Test, with historical touches in a modern, clean setting. Loads of very easy (free) parking. About 10 minutes walk into the centre of Romsey. The hotel is just off a fairly busy road, but with double/triple glazing it isn't too bad, and they provide complementary earplugs should you need. Comfy beds, nice staff and excellent breakfast. Highly recommended

Nice room, but a bit noisy - lots of door banging. Otherwise, good size bathroom and nice toiletries. Comfy bed and good choice of tea/coffee - nice touch of fresh milk in the fridge.

Friendly welcome and good service. Bedrooms are very tastefully furnished. Next to busy road but very well sound proofed. Nice breakfast. Lovely walk along River Test into Romsey. Would definitely stay again if in the area. Also dog friendly.

Love coming to stay here always really good. Would have been five stars had we hit a quiet room which we requested and cobwebs on ceiling and a stray blonde hair on the tartan decoration pillow.

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.
