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.

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.

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.
