The hotel is very central and has a pleasing feel to it. The staff are very helpful. Our bedroom was a little tired in places, due to being old rather than modern, but it was large and the bed was comfortable. The hotel has lovely touches to the common parts, such as rows of cyclamen on the window sills. We thought the parking was over-priced although we understood that we were in the centre of Winchester. We decided not to book breakfast as we thought it was quite expensive and there are lots of good eating places nearby. Apparently the breakfast is very good if you want a large one.

Well located on a quiet street (St Peter’s) close to the High Street w/shops, bakeries, restaurants galore. Historic property from 1500’s renovated and renovated but still felt the history. Rooms down this or that twisty hallway are pretty much the same size, just large enough, Room w/garden view would be preferable. No robes or slippers but tea pot and biscuits in rooms. Off street parking, although we didn’t use it. Need to be a bit careful in bathroom as shower can spray outside of glass barrier, but manageable. Front desk staff helpful. Customer service oriented. Nice stay.

Car Park was small and not free. The hotel had another car park but it was not easy to get to although we were given a map. Lots of one way streets… Although we booked twin rooms they did not have any when we got there but got free upgrade to garden view room super king and complimentary drinks.

We enjoyed our stay. The hotel is situated in the centre of Winchester yet has a beautiful walled garden where you can eat or relax with a drink. The staff were extremely friendly and very courteous. All requests were dealt with a professional manner. We had a charming, spacious room that was extremely clean and had everything you needed.
