Pilgrim Inn

A wonderful old English Inn that Richard and I spent the night at before a world cruise from Southampton.
Caught a taxi from the city centre after National Express coach line from Victoria although there are buses from Southampton. Wood beams adorn the ceilings of this atmospheric and cosy pub with delicious old English Fayre including a lot of Game. No loud music or slot machines. Richard’s Ham Hock on the bone with duck’s eggs was a huge hearty meal served by British staff. Thatched roof on the pub with a satellite cottage containing several large and well-​appointed bedrooms. Bath water piping hot and windows we could open. Bit mean on the soap (it was non-​existent) save for shower gel with the usual cosmetics and a disposable loofah and bath salts. Tea and coffee in the room and a television. Fresh fruit and flowers in the hotel building and free internet access and magazines. Lots of smoking tables in the grounds must be wonderful in summer. Quite pricey but good quality and breakfast included.
