Amazing building with lots of history - the historical overview booklet provided is a great touch. Lovely room, efficient and courteous staff, central town location, great in-room facilities....We could not fault our stay. We look forward to staying again soon.
The hotel was excellent, but the service in the restaurant, especially for breakfast was not good. We had to chase our cooked breakfast 3 times, and waited for over 30 minutes. TBF they apologised and the breakfast was deducted from our bill. The housekeeping staff, especially Sally were more than excellent, and went to great lengths to make our stay comfortable. Overall the room, the location were excellent, and we would stay again. Just a little more attentive in the food service area, please.
Room immaculately presented and clean upon arrival and spacious (Coach House). No dedicated parking but available nearby. Staff friendly and very obliging and helpful.
Beautiful hotel, lovely friendly staff. Overall a great stay in a lovely location, will be back for sure!

Amazing quirky room and spacious bathroom. Very clean and as always very friendly, helpful staff. Very Christmassy as well so left feeling really festive
The room was cold and I was cold in bed. Would have been helpful to have a spare blanket in the cupboard. Direction to parking was unclear. Staff were friendly and helpful.
This is an ancient inn in the heart of Romsey. The room was clean but small. Staff great. Very friendly and helpful. Bar and food all good. It looked lovely for Christmas
