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.

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.

A really enjoyable two night stay in this excellent hotel. The room was clean, and the bed comfortable. The breakfasts were among the best I have experienced ... plenty of choice and very tasty (real honey!). The evening meal was also very good. Staff were helpful and friendly and the car parking was no problem. I highly recommend this hotel and will gladly stay there again. We even met Bob Mortimer, Paul Whitehouse and their dog Ted!

This property was clearly once a lovely hotel but it seems a little tired in need of a refurb. The room was quite hot so we were grateful for the fan. No fridge in the room to keep water cold. Also closing the very full bar at 11 on a Saturday night seemed a bit early too. Paying £15 a night for parking in the hotel car park was also a bit off considering the rooms weren't that cheap. The gardens are lovely though.
