The Cromwell Arms

Romsey, Hampshire

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.

A family-friendly gastropub with fourteen bedrooms at the edge of Romsey, where dogs share the bar and garden with you.

At the edge of the market town of Romsey, a ten minute walk from the centre and a short stroll from the River Test, The Cromwell Arms is a family-friendly gastropub with fourteen bedrooms. A real fire and board games are among the pub's features at this dog friendly inn, and the bar and garden are open to your dog.

There are a number of dog friendly rooms, among them the Awbridge Room, one of the Indulgence Rooms on the ground floor, and well behaved dogs can stay up to two per room. Each dog's stay includes a pamper package and, at breakfast, a sausage of its own. A lead is the rule throughout the hotel and garden; a dog shouldn't be left unattended in your room while you're away from the hotel.

Your dog can join you at the table in the cosy, contemporary bar or out in the garden, though the main dining areas are off limits to dogs. The kitchen turns locally sourced ingredients into refined pub classics and British puddings, served at breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, and the bar runs from craft beers such as Sierra Nevada to a wide range of gins, world wines and a cocktail menu.

Bedrooms come with Egyptian cotton linen, Cole & Lewis toiletries and Nespresso coffee with fresh milk. The Broadlands estate is less than twenty minutes on foot, and when your dog wants sea air, Calshot Beach is 14.5 miles from the pub and the dog friendly beach Wildpack points to first.
