Amazing Staff
Pros:

We love the White Horse and have stayed there on numerous occasions. This time we had a medical problem and paramedics had to attend. The staff could not have been kinder or more caring. Susana, Noah, Callum and Abi were amazing and supportive. We know we will be visiting again.

Police involvement
Pros:

Apparently as a result of my visit to the White Horse yesterday 15 May 2026, 2 police officers visited me at my home. This upset my wife. I have asked the police if they need to speak to me in future, they should ask me to come to Romsey police station. This would avoid the upset to my wife.

A really enjoyable short stay
Pros:

Just spent two very comfortable nights in this old coaching inn in the middle of Romsey. the building is old with winding corridors and handsome staircase. It has been very sensitively updated and our bedroom (quiet, superior double) was most comfortable and very well appointed. The bed was comfortable with good linen and the bathroom not large but very clean and had everything we needed. When something minor went wrong with the basin we mentioned it and they instantly said they would call their house handyman to fix it.

Breakfast was extra but beautifully cooked (including perfect poached eggs). All staff were super polite and helpful.

There is no parking on site but a public one about 7 minutes walk away and, amazingly, easy to use payment machines. Romsey has lots to see and do locally.

We would happily come back again.
