The House and Museum are open for guided tours at 11am and 2pm. You can book your tour through TicketSource, just search for King John's House, or turn up on the day, subject to availability. The House is sometimes closed for events and so please check TicketSource before visiting. Miss Moody's Tudor Tea Room serves breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea in the beautiful period style garden, open Monday - Saturday. King John's House is an enigmatic medieval building with a long and rich history. Discover the history of the House and the people who lived and worked here across more than 800 years of continuous occupation. Find us opposite Romsey Abbey and behind the Visitor Information Centre in Church Street
During our visit to Romsey, we wanted a place to drink a cup of tea. We saw a sign about this place and then we were told politely that they were closing soon. She was friendly when she conveyed the information. This was a bit disappointing because the interior of the building was lovely. We shall definitely visit the tea room again when we are in Romsey.
Romsey's cafe scene seems to get a bit thinner each year, but there's one place that's always a gem: King John's House. It's a quiet spot with a lovely garden that's perfect on a sunny day. They serve delicious homemade cakes and tea, and the historical charm, complete with amusing life-like models, makes it a fun place to unwind. Whenever I visit my parents, it's my go-to spot for a good laugh and a relaxing time.
Absolutely brilliant !! As a history buff the story we were told during the guided tour was great. Thank you Mark for really bringing it to life. The cheese scone with pickle was super tasty and the garden a total joy. I have read the reviews from earlier this year and I say boo to the guy that marked it down for only filter coffee, because it was excellent filter coffee and it you want something poncy go and spend a fiver at Costa. This is local history at its best and well done to the Trust for looking after it so well.
We only went in King John's garden. The garden is beautiful. Lovely example of a traditional English country garden. Lovely grapevines, pear trees growing up the walls. Little places to sit down and relax in the garden. A great bee hotel.
This is a very interesting house dating from the 13th century. (They do guided tours). It also has a very pretty garden and a good cafe. The food is good and reasonably priced and the staff are always very polite.
A lovely small house, dating from the period shortly after King John's work. There is a nice garden, with a cafe. Inside, they had a bit of an art exhibit upstairs, whilst downstairs had some details about the building.
