Wat een fijn hotel is dit. Niet te groot waardoor de sfeer persoonlijk en eigen is. Heerlijke kamer met lekker ruim bed, prima badkamer, zitje buiten. Mooi gelegen aan het riviertje de Test, vlak bij aardige plattelandstadje Romsey.
Leuk restaurant erbij waar we aangenaam gegeten hebben. Ontbijt ook perfect, alles vers klaargemaakt. En heel attent en aardig personeel. Absolute aanrader!

Breakfast was throughly enjoyable and set us up for the day.
Unfortunately when we arrived in the room, it had not been cleaned. We are not clear why not and were informed that the room might have been overlooked as the staff thought the previous guests were staying another night. Once we informed assistant manager the room was cleaned straight away.

There was nothing we didn't like. The stay was perfect.

Lovely staff and food we ate breakfasts and dinners both days and the room was a nice size .
The smoke alarm in our room was right above the bed and kept flickering madly it then went off on the second night so must have been a fault .However it meant I didn't sleep very well .

Very clean and immaculately presented. Excellent welcome and hospitality and good breakfast and food options on site being within a pub.
I wasn’t able to turn on the radiators in the room on a particular chilly night which would have made the room more comfortable, but fortunately the bed was very cosy to make up for it. Some decaf tea and coffee options in the room would also be a welcome addition.

Fabulous surroundings. Really cosy and loving the interiors.
We could smell drains sometimes coming from outside through our bedroom window. Could also sometimes smell in car park. Not all the time.

Has a very warm welcoming feel to it , beds were super comfortable , nicely decorated, rooms smelt fresh nd clean. The staff were very friendly. Room came with Breakfast to my surprise which was very tasty nd had a variety to please everyone. Will definitely recommend nd come back if in the area again .
Nothing to fault really . the small light flashing from the smoke alarm at night on top of the bed took a few moments to get used to .

Fantastic full English Breakfast, continental also excellent. Very helpful lady serving breakfast, the partner of Vince the head Chef. Extra coffee served when requested. Wonderful evening meal, compliments to Vince.
The Sunday roast is probably the best we have had in a long time.
I would have to think for a very long time before realising there was nothing to complain about !

Location was superb for my fishing. lovely beer garden.
Food all great quality.
staff very friendly.
The shower in our room was very small (600cm x 600cm) - we were only able to this style of room. There was also a gassy smell when we returned to our room - not sure if it was the drains or if there was a septic tank nearby.
It did take 30 mins for our food & drink order to be taken on the 2nd night - a communication breakdown between the staff which was quickly resolved when identified. Drinks were removed from the bill and room charge reduced in the morning.

Very good location for walking along the River Test. Interesting decor and very quiet rooms. We enjoyed the food and wide range of table locations within the dining area. The large Thelwell painting above the bar sets the scene very well.
Exit from car park onto main road can be tricky. Take care!

The breakfast was excellent as was the evening meal. Staff very friendly. Room very comfortable
On arrival the original room was cold and heating wouldn't work nd neither did the kettle. They tried to get the heatiing working and replaced the kettle. After a little while we had to contact reeption again as the heating still didn't work. However, we were offered an alternative room which warm and comfortable.

The beds were comfy, I had a great night sleep. The food was Delicious ‘with a capital D’. The staff were attentive, friendly and delightful.
If I was being really picky: a couple of the room name signs in the car park were missing. One of which was the room I was looking for.
There was a light bulb out in my friends room which didn’t just flicker off (difficult to monitor if guests turn some lights off and leave others on).
4.5
Breakfast was good, location was good and the food excellent. Staff were friendly and efficient. The bar manager, Ben, was a particularly helpful member of staff and added to the enjoyable experience of the stay.
There was nothing to dislike
