This place is a gem. Found via google search / Expedia. 10 out of 10 for everything. Service, food. The rooms were beautiful and excellent value for money. Perfect stop en-route to Southampton for cruising. Staff were so polite and accommodating. We arrived with 9 mins to spare before kitchen closed and we were served one of the best steak meals I have ever had. Brilliant! Cannot recommend this place enough.

Parking was good. Didn't use the bar. Nowhere around to walk the dog. No pathways on the road. The shower ran hot and cold. Grouting in Shower cubicle needed cleaning, although it was a lovely large walk in shower. Toilet seat was loose! I booked 3 nights, only stayed for 2. Not what or where I expected.

Nice room, but shower tiles grubby, stains on ceiling in bathroom and shower shamppo holder was very dirty. Chair in room was badly stained, light switches - some worked some didn't with intermittent flickering. Beautiful old floor standing mirror however the tilt would only stay at floor view so could only see from knees down unless was held or you knelt on the floor

3 night stay. Cute English Pub. Big room. Bed is very small but comfortable. Fantastic breakfast included daily.. Had been travelling around so would have preferred washing facilities on site so had to find elsewhere off site. Would certainly return.

Quaint Hotel and rooms

Lovely hotel with quaint and big rooms, beautifully furnished with all you need for a comfortable stay. Bed and pillows were very comfortable and we slept very well. Road was not noisy. Nice big bathroom with a large shower area.Our friends had a bath and shower. Good selection of complimentary teas/coffee/water as well as a coffee machine in rooms. Good choices on breakfast menu, continental/full English. We enjoyed our full Englishg. Good service from all the staff overall. Plenty of parking. Nice bar and large restaurant, which we did get to use that day. Will definitely be back one day.

This property is amazing. Beautiful and clean with an amazing little pub on site. Rooms was spacious, bed was comfortable, shower was the best ever with rainfall option. Only draw back was the location is very residential with nothing within walking distance so if you need access to a store or different dining options you require a car. However I recommend eating on site. Breakfast is excellent so make sure to get the breakfast option with your booking

The Pilgrim Inn is a charming inn and pub combination in Marchwood that we used for our night before our cruise out of Southampton. We loved everything about it - the rooms were great, our dinner and breakfast were great. The Manager also went out of her way to help us get transportation to the cruise port for our family of 5 with luggage, which is not easy on cruise embarkation days. I would definitely stay at the Pilgrim Inn again if I'm in the area, and highly recommend it!
