A hidden gem in the heart of Hampshire — the perfect base to explore the New Forest, wander the lovely market town of Romsey, or simply relax in our beautiful garden.
Tucked along one of Romsey's most characterful streets, Richmond Lane Guest House has welcomed travellers, walkers and weekend wanderers for years. Step through the door and you'll find the calm of a Hampshire country home — soft furnishings, warm light, the quiet rustle of leaves from the garden beyond.
Mornings begin in our dining room with a generous spread of seasonal fruit, pastries and good coffee. Days are yours to fill: the New Forest opens up just minutes to the south, Southampton's attractions a short hop east, and the markets, abbey and waterways of Romsey right on your doorstep.
Whether you're stopping for one night or settling in for a slower week, you'll find the same thing every guest returns for — a genuine welcome, a comfortable room, and the feeling of having been somewhere that genuinely feels like home.
Every detail of the house has been considered for rest, exploration and a touch of indulgence — exactly what a Hampshire getaway should be.
Beautifully furnished and quietly tucked away. Read a book by the window, take a nap on the sofa, or step onto the patio with a cup of tea after a long day exploring Southampton's many attractions.
Our leafy garden is a guest favourite — a sun-trap in the morning, a shady escape by afternoon. The perfect spot to plan tomorrow's walk through the New Forest or just watch the birds pass through.
Served fresh each morning in our dining room — seasonal fruit, cereals and yoghurt, warm pastries, juices and properly made coffee and tea. A gentle, generous start to every day of your stay.
Every booking includes our continental breakfast — laid out each morning in the dining room, with the garden just beyond the windows.






Five minutes' walk from Romsey's market square, twenty minutes from the New Forest, and a short drive to Southampton and Salisbury. Richmond Lane is, quite genuinely, at the centre of everything Hampshire does best.
