Well run historic inn
This hotel was delightful and set in beautiful landscape. Staff were helpful and food exceptional. Our room was lovely, clean etc. The hotel was very good value and we may return. Had a beautiful quiet walk directly from the pub after supper alongside the River and past a mill and picturesque old houses and into the centre of Romsey via a park.

Very nice rooms and bar area but what lets it down is the service in the restaurant evenings meal was bad but breakfast we waited 45minutes to for our breakfast to be served and it wasn’t busy. Staff friendly and food good when it came.

Sadly lacking
We have stayed here before but it was lacking. Do not stay in the cosy rooms dark and claustrophobic. There were a number of items on the menu not available and to be honest just because it had been busy is no excuse. Brown sauce not available at breakfast! Please.

Lovely place to stay
They are having building work at the moment so a bit noisy at times. The room was spacious and comfortable. Bathroom very clean. Excellent value for money. Included breakfast which was beautifully presented and tasty.

Not good enough
The whole room would benefit from a deep clean particularly bathroom but found black hairs in the bedroom and a hairball on the bed throw and the bed carried several yellow stains! However by far the biggest complaint is lack of hot water which remained lukewarm throughout the 2 days despite reporting it on the 1st morning and met with the comment nobody else has complained. Water should be 50c at taps and this never met that temperature as you could run it for several minutes while holding your hand under the water quite easily which wouldn't be the case if it was the correct safe temperature. Food was OK but pricey and plentiful.
