This property is over 300 hundred years old! It is a treasure and has AMAZING character. Don’t expect ultra modern conveniences because owners are limited in what can be changed in historic properties, St John’s Croft is a quintessential old English home to be appreciated. Our room was bright and beds and linens were fluffy and cozy. Bathroom was two steps outside of our room. Five minute walk down the hill into Winchester. Nick and Dottie are wonderful hosts. Would stay here again.
