overnight tour
Very modern, spacious and comfortable room. Dinner menu was good with very good choice of drinks. Good cooked breakfast, but there could have been more options available. The service at breakfast was slow.
The only disappointment was the toilet had urine in it on our arrival. The beer garden was also packed with kids running around, making it difficult to carry luggage through the throng.

There is a lot to like about this place.
An overnight stay prior to cruising from Southampton - great option in that respect and we will be back.
Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Food was good and as the sun was out, the outside patio area was lovely. Very impressed that they had some outdoor games for adults and children and what looked like bottles of sun cream - if they were, then very impressive.
Room (disabled Superior room) was a good size and clean with some quality touches (Tea Pig tea bags for example).
If you want to be nit-picky, the pillows were too firm for me and a bit of grouting on the wet room floor looked as though it needed replacing.
We will definitely be booking again when we come down for our next trip later in the year.

I had a wonderful stay at the Cromwell Arms recently. The room was clean and comfortable, with plenty of towels and amenities. The breakfast was wonderful with plenty of choice, and the restaurant staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is close to Romsey and conveniently located in the area. Highly recommended!

A GOOD PLACE TO STAY IN ROMSEY
The hotel is on the edge of Romsey with excellent parking. The picturesque walk into to the centre of town along the river bank is about half a mile. The staff are friendly and helpful and the hotel is comfortable. The restaurant is good too.

Very nice rooms and a great location. Unfortunately the kitchen flooded on the Saturday night so we couldn't get our cooked breakfasts. I realise this is beyond the hotels control but I cant give 5 stars without my cooked breakfast.

We had a lovely stay here as a family of 3.
Breakfast was some of the best we’ve had, drink options were fantastic.
The room spacious, clean and had everything in we could need.
Minor thing to mention the room was extremely hot!
Turned all heating off and opened the windows helped.
We will for sure be returning.
Thank you for a wonderful stay.

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.
