Where to stay in Romsey Town
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Small streets run out along Newmarket Road, and the beds follow them. Guests who come for the Centre for Computing History or an afternoon inside The David Parr House will find guest rooms in the terraces rather than a hotel front desk on every corner. Abbey House sits at the other end.
Stays near the Church of St Paul and St Matthew's Church put the visitor among ordinary streets, with Owen Webb House a few turns away.
