Excellent location. Room was basic. Short spans of stairs from entrance and to rooms was a bit difficult as we were traveling with large luggage. Lovely garden area.

Lovely place to stay.

Hotel is in a great location, right in the heart of Winchester. The room was very clean, the bed really comfortable. Added bonus of a coffee machine. Staff were all polite, friendly and helpful.
Ruth, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel and great staff.

Weather was good on our first day and we got use of the garden area for drinks and snacks. The room was very comfortable and clean and the service was great. We had booked the Wednesday night and then decided to book additionally night on the Tuesday so we could see around Winchester and we are glad we did. The hotel reception managed to leave us in the same garden vie room rather than moving to the Feature double room. Although this room was bigger and more facilities within the room we were happy to stay within the room we were in. So the staff were very accommodating and very helpful. Would recommend this hotel for its staff and its location. John McLelland

Great overnight stay

We stayed for one night. Lovely lady on reception, polite, efficient and friendly. Beautiful room (we were given an upgrade), very spacious, clean, comfortable bed. Plenty of choice with tea, coffee, biscuits etc. The toiletries were good quality. Lovely big bathroom. The room was mega hot but there was a great fan so no problem. Would recommend. Great location too.
Simon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A delightful hotel. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. The food was delicious. Loved hanging out in the courtyard for an evening nightcap. Very conveniently located in Winchester. Enjoyed all the history behind the hotel and Winchester is a fascinating town.
Elise, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed one night in the feature room and it was good - power showers, comfy bed and quiet. The room was cozy and nice. Shame there is no AC which could be very problematic during the heat. Check in process was smooth and quick and staff was friendly and efficient. The hotel has great location and a lovely garden. It is patchy at parts to call it luxury but the overall impression is positive.
Vladimir, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very old building. Lovey and comfortable beds. Breakfast very good too. £15 to park overnight. £13 breakfast if you book night before. £50 when you check in per day on room..
Trevor, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel literally yards from the high street but set on a really quiet road. Staff were all super helpful and it has a great bar and garden where you can sit and chill after a busy day sightseeing. Theres two carparks at this hotel which although you have to pay for, are superb and super convenient. Beds are big & comfy and i wouldn't hesitate in using this hotel again.
Patrick, 4-night trip

Great, character hotel right in the centre of Winchester. Easy walking distance of the high street and Catherderal and numerous restaurants and coffee shops. Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely room and fantastic bathroom however general maintenance of the room could be improved.
