Great stay

It was a really lovely overnight stay, we couldn’t fault anything. Staff were friendly and attentive. Our room was lovely with everything you could need, lovely selection of coffee and tea, yummy biscuits and even a bottle of Porter to enjoy. The bed was very comfortable and great toiletries supplied. We had an evening meal which was very nice and the complimentary breakfast was delicious and set us up for the day. If in the area would definitely revisit

One night stay we had a lovely time and rooms well equipped. The hot weather made the room hot and air con would be a benefit. All rooms are on the ground floor. Food was great. Poor and inadequate lighting in the ladies toilet in the bar area.

Would Return

Don't usually do reviews however, happy to do so for the Cromwell Arms. Impressed with the design of the room and how well laid it was. Complimentary water, coffee, biscuits, fresh milk and a bottle of beer provided. Thanks for acknowledging partner's birthday - card appreciated. Although the room fronted a busy road, the double glazing was very effective. Air con also worked well. Food and drink were good and took advantage of the fixed price evening meal - well priced and beautifully cooked. Breakfast was cooked to order and very tasty. All the staff we met were friendly (thanks Tom) and helpful. Pleased we booked and would return if back in the area.

Love coming to stay here always really good. Would have been five stars had we hit a quiet room which we requested and cobwebs on ceiling and a stray blonde hair on the tartan decoration pillow.

Great place to stay

This is an amazing place to stay overnight at before a cruise we were to pick up in Southampton the next day. We stayed here last year for the same reason. The rooms are lovely, staff are very welcoming and the food is great. Romsey is a lovely town to explore, short walk along the river test, through a lovely park, have a look round the Cathedral on the way, very nice.

I chose the Cromwell Arms because of the ground floor rooms as my friend uses a walker and cannot manage stairs. We were both delighted with the room, the dining options and the wonderful staff - they were so kind and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. It is very close to the town centre, so we were able to go into Romsay easily and quickly - excellent.

The Room was good and included a Nespresso Coffee machine and good quality teabags. I especially liked the large Bath sheets. Above all the staff were all very helpful and welcoming. The side of the property which is on a main road looked a little uninviting.Unfortunately the traffic causes dirt to splash up onto the windows.Overall I would recommend the Cromwell Arms.
