The room and hotel was very very clean. I came during the heatwave so the room was very hot although a fan was provided. The breakfast was top notch, with options provided for all dietary requirements. Very impressed.

Beautiful room, more than large enough for our family of 3. Extremely clean and well presented. The only thing I can suggest is to add a small fridge and nappy bin, given the room is marketed for families it would be handy. Otherwise, staff were extremely friendly, room was very comfortable, we particularly enjoyed the towel robes they provided! Would absolutely come and stay again at this gorgeous hotel.

Room lovely and cool - you could open the windows. Large room with coffee machine, water and biscuits. Good car parking. TV was not the best - could only view a couple of channels. Pillows were very soft and not to our liking , but this is personal preference. Overall a great stay.

The Pilgrim Inn is everything you're hoping for. Traditional setting, traditional vibe, and a team of staff that laugh hard, work hard, and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The food is outstanding and we can't recommend the English Pea Ravioli highly enough. We stayed for a week and could have happily stayed longer. Something to note is that the bus stop is right at the Inn and you can get to Hythe, Southampton and other places cheaply and easily. They can accommodate larger parties or just a romantic couple. 10/10 and I'm sure we'll be back when we're in the area.
